also this thread is a pretty lame topic to make FRONT PAGE!
thats like asking why dont nigerians celebrate:
Dia de los muertos
thanksgiving (american one)
Hanukkah
Chinese New Year
St. Patrick's Day (its not an exaclty an american holiday but its on our calender and the irish brought it over)
ect. . .

dinggle:

Halloween are for those who can manage their evil ways, can we manage ours??, If halloween is celebrated in Nigeria, it will be a day of rituals and killings, a day that children go missing etc, noway Nigeria isn't fit for halloween celebration.

for the last time, halloween isnt evil!!
it started as a way to ward off evil. people were scared the dead was going to come back to haunt them, so they dressed up to disguise themsleves, so the REAL demons couldnt tell the real ones from the fake ones.
it didnt start out as worshiping the devil or evil, it started as a way to RID EVIL!
why do nigerians seriously do this? they dont look into another person's culture or anything like that before passing statements, yet when someone judges a culture or something found in nigeria without actually knowing about it, they get angry.
its the same thing, visa versa.

I had to ask not the church but the Irish locals who claim to have started it.

Did you read my reply above?

yes i did. it is a very very old celtic holiday it predates christianity and has several similar holidays on every continent

agathamari:

But you sure know the reason behind the holiday?

if that is the problem, go to google, abeg.

Well for me, i have been attending Halloween parties in the last couple of days and it has been real great and fun galore!!!!!

agabaI23:

im f*cking irish for christ sake and its one of the most sacred holidays in celtic tradition.  

your question is like me asking a nigerian if they understand one of thier most important cultural holiday or asking my fellow americans the significe of thanksgiving (the holiday)

Amaka get off my back with your stupid comments. Do not ever comment on my posts. You are irritating.

2 years been in nigeria since.  he told his friends he wanted to marry a white lady ever since jr high and with the way he acted in the beging i think alot of it had to do with papers but since ive been here and he is learning about other countries i think he has relized the grass isnt always greener on the other side

is he one of those Nigerian guys that wanted to marry a white woman as a way to "marry up" or "marry higher in society" ?
if thats the case he has a messed up way of thinking!
oh, so you are IN nigeria? hmmm interesting.

People havn't finished celebrating Jesus Christ, someone is here promoting Halloween, enough of gods and evil celebrations. not only Halloween, what of Halogen, Halloween My Ass, Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssss and log out.

holloween came before jesus i hate to tell you

Needless to know why u are an arrant advocate of halloween, You forgot that, in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God and the word became flesh and dwelth among us,(which is Jesus Christ) nothing comes before him ok? Hey! pls dont insult my intelligence here, i'm bold enough to say, 'TO HELL WITH HALLOWEEN' u can celebrate it in ur own private room ok/

nothing came before jesus? what about judism which is where chistianity sprang from, that was around 2000 years before jesus. didnt the book claim adam and eve came 8000 years before jesus? but before jesus there was nothing. ok

So you wanna come up again with another fallacy? Now hear this, chritianity is never a Religion ok? thats is a practical truth, religions were made from Christainity. Obviously u are a polytheist. I need not to waste time here. Perhaps all u want us to do is to wish YOU " hAPPY HALLOWEEN" are u satisfied?

im the one afraid of god and religion.  becaue i understand that christianity is one of thousands of religions.  your the one afraid of what others believe,  and a happy holloween is not what i want from you or anyone i want the damn hypacracy to stop.  if i sat here and said easter was evil because you celebrate a dead guy comming back to life you would barrade me with insults and quotations of the bible but yet its ok for you to do the sasme about another groups religon or cultural beliefs or heratige

Oh my God, who do you refer to as dead Guy, honestly you are still under the influence of too much Ogogoro and paraga you must have taken during ur celebration. perhaps you will soon bite off than you can chew.

THE-AMAKA:

said i had to ask permition to cut my hair, sid he would never work for a woman, could say please to a guy but never a girl, would call other girls infront of me, would interupt me and other girls when they would talk

hello jesus or are you forgeting the who religion is based around him dieing and then being resurected from the dead

the bible says  the devil comes as an angel of light,   making deeply evil things look quite harmless or religious,sadly enough many people are taken unawares, if you really see haloween as it really is you will need no one to tell you to turn to
God, so haloween costumes,pumpkins, trick or treats,  etc. are just a cover, bait or lure to hell so all beware!
