To reconnect with one's roots, spend time with family and basically rest from the year's hustle.

The annual trip mirrors in a small way the cycle of human spirtual development which we should all strive to learn from.

Its fun celebrating christmas at home (in the village). The reason is that other relations from far and wide will all converge at the family house creating an avenue for familiarisation among the younger ones and the older ones will have an opportunity to meet again. These and many other reasons make going to the village a thing of joy and a necessity.

Red-Light:
for igbos: to show their achievement over the past year

for yoruba: family re union i think
for hausa ; they dont care cos they are boko haram predominantly muslims

u are very wrong!

Igbos by the nature of their trading profession, only have december or xmas period to visit home, its time for re-union also as various branches of town union eg lagos, PH, Enugu, Abuja, etc branches of the town union tend to meet during this period to embark on community projects like borehole, town hall, etc. Its a period most igbo singles get married. Its a period some towns celebrate their cultural festival like ofala, masquerade, age grade and title taking. Its also a period we christians go home to participate in our local chuurch harvest and bazaar and suppoert parish projects. Its a period we go home and visit our parents whom we left at home to hussle outside. Its a time we share family lands among the male members of the family and those financially ok start foundation work during this period and agree on route to send money home for the projects about to commence. Its a time to rest frm city stampede and huzzling from january to december, we prefer to go home and enjoy our local foods our mothers used to raise us wich are nt in the city. A lot of reason....................

Looking forward to all the "quasi-Lagosians" to go "Home" over xmas so the roads are less congested. Sadly, the only reason most people treat Lagos so badly is because they dont see it as "home". Good riddance folks.
