@Michaeli I just read the Wikipedia article and I don't see anything linking St. Patrick to Nigeria. Please elaborate more. |

obinna5000, jagunlabi: St Patrick is indeed the patron saint of nigeria alongside the Blessed Virgin Mary. one major reason is that the St. Patrick's Missionary Society started working in nigeria long before independence and is quite popular in terms of it's achievements. check out link: http://www.spms.org/stpatricksmissionarysociety/Main/History.htm |

I just saw it right now. Interesting. But why don't Nigerians recognize it as a holiday? That is if it is even a holiday. |
