It is said that when you thank God for what He has done for you, you automatically qualify for more blessings from God.
Every 2nd day in the 11th month of the year (November), it is recognized in Bayelsa State, the Glory of all Lands as the State Annual Thanksgiving Day and a public holiday is given so everybody can take a break and say Thank You God!
The yearly thanksgiving was initiated by the former governor of the state, Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson who also in his tenure built and commissioned the beautiful edifice, The Ecumenical Centre which serves as the venue and also also as a meeting point for all christians irrespective of the denomination to come together for the purpose of serving God.
Today is no different from every other November 2nd in terms of the purpose but with a little twist because Bayelsans were led by a new governor to the 9th annual thanksgiving service, the Miracle governor, Senator Douye Diri and his deputy with the theme: God of Miracles.
Bayelsans from all works of life; civil servants, politicians, professional bodies, women groups, christian denominations in their beautiful and gorgeous attires were present to grace the occasion.
The governor in his thanksgiving speech appreciated God Almighty, his spiritual fathers, political leaders and Bayelsans for coming out for the auspicious occasion, he further called on all to join hands in moving the state forward irrespective of their differences. https://www.nairaland.com/6174197/nawoj-bayelsa-donates-gift-items

We Thank God

I pity the poor ignorant citizens who are the pawns in this great deceptive show of thanksgiving for the successful looting and impoverishment of the masses by the evil corrupt politicians.
