Emulate God’s Love for Humanity – Arthur Obi-Okafor SAN
As we celebrate the commemoration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ today, I felicitate with members of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), especially the Christian brethren.
Christmas is a season of love, peace, joy and great tidings; a period we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; a season to give and forgive. It is a time, we are further reminded of God’s love for humanity, that he had to send his son to dwell amongst us and redeem the world.
As we celebrate Jesus Christ who is the reason for the season, I urge us to emulate God’s love for humanity and spread love, peace and unity among each other, irrespective of tribe, gender,religion or creed. Let the love of God dominate our hearts and prevail over bitterness, hatred and strife in our society.
And may the joy, love and peace of the season abide in our homes today and always.
Merry Christmas!
Arthur Obi Okafor SAN, FCIArb.
Christmas, A Time to Reflect on Christ’s Message to the World – Mazi Afam Osigwe
The commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ is a time to reflect on His message as well as why He came into the world. The Love of Christ is the central theme of Christian belief and faith .
The Christmas season should therefore be a time to show love, tolerance and understanding. It should be a time to reaffirm our commitment to live together in one united country.
Regardless of the socio-economic situation, let us find a reason to celebrate this important season of the birth of Christ. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. We shall surely overcome.
I wish you a peaceful celebration.
I wish you a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
May God bless you.
Mazi Afam Osigwe
Christmas, A Time to Celebrate the Gift of Love – Prof. Ojukwu SAN
“To all Nigerians Merry Christmas!
Christmas is the time to celebrate the most extraordinary gift of all, the gift of God’s love for all humanity. But instead of merry making, Nigerians are hurting from
the agony and pain of fuel scarcity and exploitative cost.
Nigeria supplies the World with so much crude. There is no acceptable reason for this suffering.

Lets Share Love, Joy and Happiness on Christams – Mobolaji Ojibara, Ph.D
As we bask in the euphoria of this yuletide, let us share love, joy and happiness, regardless of our tribe; regardless of our culture; regardless of our religion. Let us preach peace.
Because in reality, there is a lot more we can celebrate from what unite us than from the things that divide us.
Compliments of the Season!
