Christians have been encouraged to remain steadfast in serving God and to continue acts of charity despite the prevailing economic downturn in Nigeria.
In his Christmas message, the Esama of Benin, His Excellency Sir Chief Dr. Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, extended his warmest greetings to Nigerians on the joyous occasion of Christmas.
He said Christmas is a sacred period that reminds everyone of the birth of Jesus Christ, whose life and teachings exemplify humility, sacrifice, compassion, and unconditional love for humanity.
The revered Esama of Benin noted that the season calls on people to reflect on the shared values that unite them beyond tribe, faith, or social status.
Sir Chief Dr. Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion urged Nigerians to renew their commitment to kindness, tolerance, and unity, especially in a world that continues to seek peace and understanding.
He reminded Christians that the true meaning of Christmas lies not in material possessions, but in the love shown to one another and the hope inspired within communities.
Chief Igbinedion encouraged everyone to extend a helping hand to the less privileged, offer comfort to the vulnerable, and support those facing hardship.
He said that by doing so, Nigerians reflect the true spirit of Christ and strengthen the bonds that make society resilient and progressive.
Sir Chief Dr. Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion also offered prayers that the joy of Christmas fills every home and that the coming year brings good health, progress, and divine blessings.
