There is no holiday in nigeria compared to the chinese, taiwanese and japanese republics. Chinese just observed the year of dragon that lasted more than 7 days (chained). As an industrial country, it is interesting to note that virtually all industries were closed during this holiday. They also have the year of rabbit, the dragon boat festival and so many others that are culturally-based. As import-based or consumption-based economy, Nigeria can afford to go on holidays (usually 1 - 2 days) distributed b/w Christians and Moslems except few on national matters. there is no big deal on our national holidays. They are relieves to Nigerians who work round the clock at the expense of their family, and at the end receives stipends as benefit for his service. I wish more could be added to the already insufficient holidays |

How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man. |

Mazeepac: ^^^ Morale? Instead of you doing something meaningful You are here quoting a little sleep. mind you, 'sleep' here is anything you do instead of being 'productive'. which include typing on this forum, while you could have been planning on how to be better at your job. The lord gives his beloved sleep, and when you sleep it shall be sweet. |

In UK, this year, they're going to have 9 days off, with 1 day for the queen's golden jubilee. In Scotland, it's 10 days. See the countries that you are comparing Nigeria with. Is it not a shame that Nigeria's economy is no where near any of the countries you compared her with? |

jamace: And who says the advancement in their economy as compared to Nigeria has anything to do with the number of days they have as public holidays. I really see no need for this kind of thread except that the OP is trying to show how much of a bigot he is or looking for cheap popularity in starting a thread which he feels is controversial. It is a widely accepted fact that employers of labour will always detest holidays & employees are always prone to always happy with holidays. It is a public holiday declared by the govt. Whether or not is too much is an issue for the machinery of govt to work out & it sounds funny to M̶̲̅ε̲̣ that a country will want to waste time & resources on debating whether declaring a day as a public holiday is right or wrong. |

They are statutory, and cannot be changed |

Kellymann: My point exactly. That's why I put so many countries there. I was just trying to show that advancement/productivity is not reduced by the no of public holidays we have, since we're quite normal. The Chinese & Japanese have more holidays and are still more advanced. UK & US have slightly fewer than we do, they're still more advanced. In short, development/advancement has little to do with the no of public holidays as some people were starting to insinuate. |

Stupid post! I wonder why it made it to the front. How is this the problem of Nigeria. You do not know that Nigeria is delicately poised btw Islam and Christianity. Its either you dont celebrate a public hols or u have for both religions. Even new yr is considered Christian hols! Abeg, make una quit this argument! |
