Africa is a country with valuable habitats to different species of organisms which includes Men...I am a Man so I actually fit into one here and that's why I celebrate christmas, if you take a critique of my POV you will discover that of over half a billion of other african youths because I am a youth leader, from the level of student union government to the NANS zone B and now a Youth Corper. Serving my country for one year. we are all excited at this seasonal festivities though mostly with christians. But Muslims also enjoin then in the public holidays,here in Abuja nigeria, there are lots of Bonanzas in supermarkets...I visit them because I love AWUFU. I see the excitements among the youths quiet alright but a deeper look into the eyes of your old friend will reveal a rage of fear. It's because of the high level of violence and terrorism here. Yes we have it as a challenge but my interaction with other youths revealed that we actually love each other as youths. We virtually shared everything. I remember all....yes yes it's christmas season here in africa. We are friends and live together as one. The christmas trees we enjoy here too..and evening songs in the church, the cold weather which is moderate to our skin and long coaches of Buses for our inter city transport too...here in africa, friends that trusts us come from different countries of the world comes to share
our local wines with us. ..we are nor murders and cheats as YOU think but if you didn't think that earlier then you are like me...we are faced with our own challenges just like every continent of the world. And gradually, through local campaigns by youths like myself, peace have started growing from the grass roots. Hey have you seen my TV series on Peace? Write me if you have not.. Now back to christmas, back in the days, back here in Nigeria, back in Nsukka my home town...now back back back is telling the story..but hey listen, we celebrate christmas because of the birth of a great God. His name is Jesus and all the christians know this and we reflect it in our emotions..it's christmas season here..if you want to celebrate christmas here, then bet me you will drink palmwine. Oh..merry chritmas readers. Ugwuja George Odinakachi
