I write this with a heart full of remorse and deep reflection regarding the pictures circulating online from the recent Costume Day held during the Taraba State University Students’ Week.
I was one of the students whose outfit resembling that of a nun has caused pain, anger, and to many people, especially to the Christian community’s. I want to sincerely apologize for my actions and the way it appeared.
At the time, I honestly saw it as a harmless form of fun, without thinking deeply about how it might be disrespectful to the Christian faith and sacred symbols. However, seeing the reactions and understanding the spiritual and emotional significance of those garments, I now realize that what I did was wrong and insensitive.
It was never my intention to mock, insult, or make fun of any religion. I have learnt a very important lesson about the need to respect all faiths, beliefs, and sacred representations whether in public or private.
To the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the University Chaplaincy, the University Management, and the general public, please accept my sincere and humble apology.
I also want to thank everyone who corrected me in love rather than condemnation. Your words of wisdom have helped me see the gravity of my mistake. Going forward, I promise to be more sensitive, respectful, and thoughtful in all my actions, both online and offline.
