Nigeria Weightlifting Federation Felicitates with Christians On Easter Celebrations
The Nigeria Weightlifting Federation, NWF wishes to felicitate Christians on the occasion of this year’s Easter celebrations
President of the federation, Dr. Abdul Ibrahim in his Easter message on Friday, charged the Christan faithful to imbibe the teachings of Jesus Christ who came to the world to redeem mankind
Dr. Ibrahim implored religious and political leaders to emulate the Risen Lord in their leadership so as to enthrone an egalitarian society where peace and justice are obtained.
“The Board of Nigeria Weightlifting Federation, NWF heartily felicitate with our Christian brothers and sisters as they mark this year’s Easter celebrations. There is no doubt that this event is very significant to the believers of Christianity as it is the foundation of the Christian religion.
“The coming of Jesus Christ to the world and His death thereafter is not only symbolic but also defined the Christian faith. Christ came and preached peace, and enthroned justice in our society.
“Today our religious and political leaders owe humanity a duty to lead in fear of God. Establish purposeful leadership, and enthrone peace and justice in the land. These are the mandate of our leaders and I believe that this Easter period is a reminder to them, to retrace their steps where they are going astray and return to the path God had set out for them.
“We congratulate Christians on this great occasion and charge them to live in peace, love one another and pray for our leaders,” he said.
This year’s Easter celebrations will hold on Sunday, April 17, 2022.

Nigerian-born midfielder Paul Salami stole the show with a sensational hat-trick, leading his side to a dominant 3-0 victory over the Melbourne Sharks in Week 9 of the Australian U23 League.
The 21-year-old rising star opened the scoring in the 20th minute, calmly finishing off a swift counter-attack to put his team ahead. The momentum shifted further in their favor when Sharks defender Liam Mastos received a straight red card in the 40th minute for a reckless challenge, forcing the home side to play with 10 men.
Salami continued to exploit the numerical advantage with clinical precision. He netted his second goal in the 52nd minute, capping off a well-orchestrated team move, before sealing his hat-trick in the 75th minute with a composed finish that left the goalkeeper with no chance.
Operating with poise and creativity in midfield, Salami’s performance was a masterclass in attacking intelligence, control, and execution. His match-winning display not only earned him the match ball but also solidified his growing reputation as one of the most exciting young talents in the league.
