As the calendar flips to December, a palpable excitement fills the air. The world is abuzz with the promise of Christmas, a joyous celebration that transcends cultures and continents. This festive season weaves a spell of enchantment, transporting us to a realm of wonder and magic.
Amidst the twinkling lights and festive carols, Christmas embodies the values of love, kindness, and generosity. It’s a time for reunions, for sharing stories and laughter with loved ones. The scent of freshly baked cookies and the sound of sleigh bells evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of childhood memories and simple pleasures.
But does the present economy situation in the world and especially in Nigeria today give room to the common citizen to have a feel of this ancient delight? Don’t really know how many common families will be so exited to walk boldly to the market and buy rice, jollof ingredients and chicken this season, not to talk of buying colorful clothes and shoes for their children, nor the decorations. Majority seems to be at a dead end.
Amazingly, some of the Nigerian artistes in the likes of Folarin Falana(Falz), Oladipo Daniel Oyebanjo (Dbanj), Aituaje Iruobe (Waje), Omotunde Adebowale -Davids, Patience Ozokwor, Chimezie Imo, Tope Tedola, Funke Akindedle (Jenifa) Lateef Adedimeji, Omowunmi Dada, Bisola Aiyeola, Juliana Olayode (Toyo Baby), Nanacy Isime, Jide Kosoko, Chinenye Nnebe, Isaac Olayiwola (Layi Wasabi), Jide Awobona… all came together and created a fantastic song culled from the very features of the season and called it Everybody Love Christmas.
