Easter Monday is set aside by Christians to commemorate Jesus’ meeting with the disciples at Galilee, but equally a time of treatment.
Consequently, Christians use the occasion to visit the recreation Centre while others hold picnics within the church promises.
Radio Nigeria’s correspondents, who monitored the situation in Ibadan, report that most recreation Centres record low turnout in the early hours of the day.
During visits to Agodi Gardens, Trans Amusement Park, University of Ibadan, Zoological Garden and some eateries, a few fun seekers were seen while others were just arriving.
At Agodi Gardens, the fun seekers were few; some church vehicles were conveying church members to the Centre for a picnic.
The situation was not too different at Trans Amusement Park and the University of Ibadan Zoological Garden where vehicles conveying fun seekers and individuals were seen arriving at the Centre.
Some fun seekers at some eateries speaking with Radio Nigeria said their visit to the Centre was meant to cool frayed nerves, while children at Ring Road eateries expressed joy for the visit.
A Youth leader Mr Kayode Ojebode said their visit was to have a get-together and share the word of God.
The Marketing Manager, Trans Amusement Park, Mrs Mary Egbeniyi expressed optimism that a larger turnout would be experienced later in the day.
Mrs Egbeniyi appealed to the residents of Ibadan not to allow the current economic situation to discourage them from relieving themselves of prolonged stress.
