The Federal Government has declared Dec. 24, Dec.25 and Dec. 28 public holidays to mark Maulud Nabiy, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, respectively. The Minister of the Interior, Retired Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau, made the declaration on Thursday in Abuja in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr Bassey Akpanyung. “The Federal Government has declared Thursday, 24th December, 2015 as public holiday to mark Eid-El-Maulud celebration. “Friday, 25th and Monday 28th December, 2015 have also been declared as public holidays to mark Christmas and Boxing Day celebration,” the statement said. The minister enjoined Muslim and Christian faithful to use the unique occasion to pray for the peace and unity of Nigeria. He also advised Nigerians to cooperate and join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari in his efforts to build a peaceful, united and virile nation. Dambazau wished Nigerians, home and abroad, happy celebrations. Eid-Maulud is the celebration of the birth of Prophet Muhammed in Islam, while Christmas is celebrated by Christians to mark the birth of Jesus Christ http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/12/fg-declares-dec-24-25-28-public-holidays/ |

So Mohammed's birthday is now a public holiday? This brings to 3 muslim holidays. When have we ever celebrated mohammed's birthday? Instead of slaughtering chicken nah Kafur head dem go slaughter. Islamists in charge will change the Gregorian calender and take us to 1426. Islamists in power. 1 Like 1 Share |

APCLyingBastard: Tune it down and stop exposing your ignorance. Even kids knows that the date of birth of the holy prophet as always been marked with a declaration of public holiday in Nigeria. If you have no problem with xmas day being declared a public holiday, you should have no problem with Maulud Nabiy as well. 2 Likes |

All those claiming not to know that about the public holiday declared by FG on the occasion of Maulud, are you for real? Have you been living in Nigeria or is it just the harmful hatred that has deeply eaten into your hearts that you fail to know that Nigeria has been celebrating this day by declaring a public holiday year in year out? It's a pity.... |

APCLyingBastard: You are a dullard! Mohammed's birthday has always been declared a public holiday since time immemorial. |

APCLyingBastard: What would you say about this; https://www.naij.com/56218.html http://www.informationng.com/2014/01/eid-el-maulud-fg-declares-tuesday-public-holiday.html http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/01/eid-el-maulud-fg-declares-jan-24-as-public-holiday/ I can understand if you say you don't know that Maulud is celebrated as Prophet Muhammad's birthday but to claim that FG has never declared such a holiday is mischievious. This is as far back as 2007: http://allafrica.com/stories/200703300583.html Just save yourself the mischief and do a simple google search. |
