The three things we have in common are
1, population-Nigeria has abundance of skilled and unskilled manpower
2, leaders in their various continent (force to reckon with)
3 abundance of natural resources..
Nigerian has failed in the area of managing her resources both (human and natural) to it's fullest potential due to failure in it's leadership

FamilyRe: What Is Your Christmas Experience Growing Up In Nigeria by Hopss(m): 10:50pm On Dec 25, 2024
Sapasenator:
As kids growing up in Nigeria, Christmas was the most important celebration for us and we eagerly looked forward to it.

I came from a very poor background so rice was not what we eat regularly, Christmas was an opportunity for us kids to eat rice and chicken to our fills.

Christmas usually started around November, this was when my parent would go to Balogun market to buy Christmas clothes and shoes for all of us.

We never went along, it was only our parents who would select Christmas clothes and shoes and we had this curiosity waiting for them to come back so we can inspect the clothes and shoes.

They had us place our feets on cardboard boxes and a pen was used to mark our feet sizes before cutting the cardboard boxes, this way, the right sizes of shoes were bought.

Once they were back from the market, we locked the doors and windows to test the clothes and shoes, our friends would be at our windows, peeking to be the first to see our clothes.

I remember wiping the bottoms of my shoes after testing them so they remain brand new on Christmas day. That was the only day we got brand new clothes, the rest of the year, my mom would send us to Sylvanus store to select used clothes to compare and see who got the best clothes. Hehehehe.

Two weeks to Christmas, my mom would go to the market and select about three chickens to feed for slaughter on the eve of Christmas day. So, at 6 pm on the 24th December, we would kill the chickens and start preparing for Christmas, we kids never sleep in the night as we kept dreaming of the next day.

I and my friends we used car plugs, wood and matches to create knockouts for the celebrate as we could not afford banga.
We would wake very early in the morning of Christmas, bath and put on our Christmas clothes, shoes and attires and, off we went to our friend's houses, together as a group we knock on the doors off all our neighbors and random strangers.

The rule then was anyone who came to your house on Christmas, you have to feed them even if they were total strangers so, we just randomly knocked on doors, walked in , eat rice and chicken and, ask the adults to " do Christmas for us".

We walked all around town eating from strangers, blowing knockouts and collecting Christmas money.

After we are done eating outside, then I would lead my friends to our home, by then my moms food was ready, by and I would eat together. We also dished out foods in trays to share to our neighbors and the neighbors in return will offer us trays of food and drinks.

We had this family friend that worked at Coca Cola and every year end , we always received about 4 crates of Coca Cola for this family reserved for our Christmas day feast.

At the end of the day, I would be so full that I would not be able to lie face down for all the food I had eaten that day.

What was your experience growing up on Christmas day, was it similar to mine?
Did you guys go about eating food from strangers and asking for Christmas money?
Is this practice still continuing today?

Thinking back, I must say it was very fun every Christmas and on new years days, we carried on with the celebrations.
I would not lie as it was a magical moments for us.

Share your experience growing up in Nigeria on Christmas days. Forgive my typos as I am on my second champagne bottle with my Jamaican Dragon Sout beer.
. Christmas celebration now is not the same as what you wrote. men I miss those days. merry Xmas boss

snowland:
This will be my first Christmas in Nigeria in 15 years but sincerely it does not feel like Christmas at all.
Besides the cold harmattan weather in the morning that normally characterizes this time of the year, nothing else smells festivities.
I remember with nostalgia what Christmas used to feel like. Seems a whole lot has changed.

Apart from the economic situations, what else could have caused this?
it's the economy, life is hard
