As I pray for lasting peace, I ask for prayers and goodwill to be shared among us. The lives of our neighbors mean a lot, we should accept this moment as a divine opportunity to show love to one another.
For the sake of my fans, brothers, sisters and all those kept in isolation globally, because of corona virus ,I share in their pains and I put down this celebration because of the cases.
I appeal to countries that have created vaccines and working to create a lasting cure to share their discoveries so as to bring back peace and good health to our lives.
In Africa we may not be so lucky with medical advancement and social support, but we can share the little we can as a people, by sharing the information to reduce it’s tendency to spread,” he added.
