A Message of Peace, Unity, and Celebration from Her Royal Highness
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
As the joyful cries of Allahu Akbar fill the air and families across the world gather to mark the end of a season of devotion and sacrifice, Aarebirin Honourable Princess Dr Folashade Olabanji-Oba warmly extends her heartfelt congratulations and warmest felicitations to all Muslim brothers and sisters as they celebrate this blessed occasion of Eid al-Adha Mubarak.
In a gracious message released on this auspicious day, Her Royal Highness celebrated the spirit of the season — a time that calls every faithful heart to reflect on the virtues of obedience, patience, sacrifice, and gratitude. These timeless values, she noted, are not only the pillars of Islam but the very foundations upon which a peaceful, prosperous, and unified society is built.
“This blessed season reminds us that our greatest strength lies not in what we possess, but in what we are willing to offer in the service of God, family, and community. Eid Mubarak to every Muslim brother and sister — may your homes be filled with peace, your hearts with joy, and your lives with abundant blessings.”
Princess Dr Folashade Olabanji-Oba, a distinguished royal personality known for her passionate advocacy for social cohesion, community development, and interfaith harmony, used this occasion to reaffirm her commitment to a Nigeria — and an Africa — where people of all faiths live together in mutual respect and shared prosperity. She called on all citizens to use the lessons of this Eid to deepen bonds of brotherhood, extend hands of generosity to the less privileged, and strengthen the fabric of national unity.
Her Royal Highness particularly acknowledged the immense spiritual discipline demonstrated by Muslims throughout the season — the acts of prayer, charity (Zakat), and devotion that define this period — and expressed her admiration for the faith, resilience, and community spirit that Islam continues to inspire across our great continent.
As families slaughter their rams, share meals with neighbours, and distribute food and gifts to the poor, Princess Dr Olabanji-Oba sees in these sacred acts a mirror of the values she champions daily: generosity, empathy, and the dignity of every human life. She prays that this Eid will bring healing to the sick, comfort to the grieving, abundance to the struggling, and joy to every household.
To the Muslim Ummah — in Nigeria, across West Africa, and around the world — Aarebirin Hon. Princess Dr Folashade Olabanji-Oba says with great warmth and royal affection:
May Allah accept your Salah, your Dua, and your sacrifice.
May He bless your families with health, peace, and prosperity.
May this Eid open new doors of favour and grace for you.
Eid Mubarak! Eid Mubarak!! Eid Mubarak!!!
