National Telecoms provider, Globacom, has wished Christians in Nigeria a season full of love, unlimited happiness and celebration.
The company urged the Christian faithful in the country to use the season of the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ to spread the joy of the season and pray for the progress of Nigeria.
In a goodwill message issued in Lagos on Wednesday December 24 2014, Globacom wished all Christians in Nigeria a very joyous Christmas celebration and called on Nigerians to live in peace with one another in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ who is the reason for the season.
The telecoms operator urged all Nigerians to use the occasion of the Yuletide to make peace and reconcile all differences.
“On all fronts, we need to encourage cordiality and peaceful co-existence; between friends, families, political opponents , tribes, ethnic groups and religions,” Globacom said in the statement.
“Nigeria can only thrive in an atmosphere of peace and unity. Therefore, Nigerians should imbibe the spirit of tolerance, forgiveness and forbearance as exhibited by our Lord Jesus Christ. Ethnic, religious and political differences should therefore be transformed into the plank for enduring unity, and not be pushed to extremities,” Globacom counselled.
All over the world, Christmas is a period for peace, love and caring. Christians cherish it so much as it is celebrated to mark the day God gave the greatest gift – His only Son Jesus Christ to mankind.
