Abbey2sam: If we look @ it ordinarily, there's nothing special about it but the fact that we are crossing over to a new begining, a new charpter in our lives is something to thank God for....

I'm writing this from church

NoContract: Op is jobless$

I ιмαgιηє the kind of euphoria he go ∂єу, dis one wey he hit fp.

holamiday: Abi o. 1st january is not different from any other day. In fact all days are the same, sunrise & sunset. Human beings have created things like date for easy comprehension, to define our living & make sense of life. Nevertheless, we still have to acknowledge the first day of the year & thank God specially for the grace to witness it.

Les: i just wrote on my 2go status dat there's noting special about dis nyt to me just to com here to see it as first topic on front page. I thank God every single day of my life, why should today be any different from d normal thanking abi 31st nyt and 52nd june, dont they have d same 24hours??

I tire for some christians o. Midnight call mode activated sha o.

stephenponti: THE PARADOX OF TIME:- On the surface the present moment is "what happens". Since what happens changes continuously, it seems that every day of your life consists of moments. Time is seen as the endless succession of moments some "good" some "bad". Looking closely to your own immediate experience you ll discover there is only this moment. Life is always NOW. The notion of new year is simply an illusion on circumnavigation of the celestial bodies. my thought though.

Sam xiu lee: Really,there is nothing special,but just like birthdays,I try as much to thank God for another 365 days,just like I thank him for a new month,and I rock and relax at the weekend in anticipation of a new week,I thank him for everyday on earth.
I dnt make new year resolutions cos I dnt keep them,I also do not go to church for new year vigil,I prefer being in solitude praying and thanking God for the New year,after which life just goes on.

ydass: Wondering what has happened to your thinking faculty. Have u forgotten the saying that there is nothing new under the earth? Can u tell me if new things don't happen everyday.

all4naija: It is a reminder of you ageing!

okpara ugo: What is so special about eating suya in the evening

trolling: it's a day dedicated to Janus, a pagan god, and that's where january is derived from

HQ: It's the first day of a new year preceding the last day of a previous year.

TimePiece: I was just chatting about this topic a few minutes ago.
My opinion, nothing special!
It's just a change in the calender that people liken to the beginning of a new world.
And down her in my dear country, it becomes an opportunity to dish out another round of drama

joeydozzy: the day is special cos you're still high from the hangover on the eve

callmebettyetta: In my church 1st of january is d time most wonderful things happen or occur , u have d whole time share ur numerious testimony and praise the lord for keeping u till dat day.I Think is something one must pertake. So don't sleep at home look for a church and attend.

diji04: it is the first day of the year so we need to celebrate the year 365 day is nt easy it cals for celebration.if stay bored.

chigozie250: Looks lyk ure a saddist or maybe something bad happened to u on a new year day some years ago.......pls dnt try to infect others with ur sadism

Lakayana: You are one those people that do not deserve God's favours. God saw you through 365days yet you open your mouth to ask what is special about that special privilege.

cold: Well as for me.The start of the year is when I set my targets (not resolutions o! ehen).I take stock of the preceding year to determine if i'm making any progress,stagnating or just oscillating without making any movement. After a thorough analysis,I may decide to restrategise or stay the course.My 2 Naira

Royal Roy: You don't see anything about it right?
Try this Mr k2039......
Imagine having a car, u just bought it and u feel so good the first day. Counting a whole year after, then someone buys u a new one exactly a year after. How would u feel? Like its just another car? Or u would be grateful?

ignis: Your guess has been made right.
It has made front page.
Just as you said, the op fully knows the answer to his question.

Yomieluv: Its an opportunity to start afresh,and reasons to thanK God for the gift of life.Do you know how many people that wished to see next year,but didn't? Its a special day for me.

I know something like this would make front page.next topic would be,Do we have to sleep?

maninmood: You sound like life is quite meaningless to you, pardon my ignorance if I am wrong. January 1st is not only crucial to individuals but also companies. It is high time you checked what you were unable to fix in 2012, reflect over it, and make a stern decision, and this should start tomorrow.

ubong560: Nothing spectacular in particular in the cellular of Jan. 1st. It's just an opportunity to thank the Lord for giving the grace to see another year.

REMMEI: @OP. . Maybe you should ask yourself this...what's so special about your birthday which i know deep inside of you,you do rejoice when the day comes..what's so special about each month and the days in it?..maybe you will ask again,what's so special about living life?.. In my humble opinion,there's something special about everything,you just have to figure it out yourself..

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE..

Uyi Iredia: It's special because it means you saw the year through. You weren't a casualty figure that year

lavita2: Well, to me January 1st presents a new beginning. A chance to look back and say 'oh, I messed last year and I am going to improve this year'. It presents a renewed strength and vigour to pursue that dream of mine. I look forward to 2013. Have a properous year Fellow Nairalanders.

mascot87: @Poster : Ask ur self What's so special about expecting new things in ur life?

Emusan: Why will i not happy? When this very Earth carried my life rotate and revolved the sun with a lot of heat, harmattan, cold and rains. I need to thank God oooo
