Nigerians Celebrate Xmas

Nigerian Christians on Saturday joined the rest of the global body of Christ to celebrate this year's Christmas.

Churches across the country were filled to the brim with Christian faithfuls, singing praising and dancing to Christmas carol tunes.

Governments across the three tiers and groups felicitate with Christians and wish them a fruitful season.  

One of the groups, the Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, urged Nigerians to uphold the virtues of selflessness and sacrifice for peaceful co-existence of all.

MURIC also called on Nigerian leaders to emulate Jesus Christ and follow his leadership example. ‘We charge religious clerics to drum the lessons inherent in the life and death of Jesus Christ into the ears of Nigerians. The average Nigerian must be sincerely God-fearing and shun the mad rush for the accumulation of wealth”. The statement said.
