When And Where Was The First Christmas Celebrated In Nigeria?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Probably in Benin, Nigeria sometime in the 15th century, when Roman Catholic Priests accompanied  traders to its coast, located in West Africa. They built churches to serve missionaries and its converts.

    I also found some information about the preparation of Santa's visit to Nigeria. I do question its its factuality, though...

    From: www.modernghana.com


    "Basking in the euphoria of last Christmas celebration when the
    formidable team of Dum Dum Groove and Shoponlinenigeria.com led by Lady
    Grace Dumebi and Dpiper respectively staged a mother of all events
    called Dum Dum Christmas Fiesta, it’s another year but with a unique
    concept. It’s Christmas season, the whole city, no doubts, is busting
    with lots of activities in preparation for the once a year celebration,
    and the well-expressed Lady Grace Dumebi who has just returned from
    France is set to exploit the season as she brings, to town, Santa
    Clause from the Iceland.

    Comment from Johnny B...   Actually...  Dum Dum Cove...  "Exploit" the Season"...  This is true!
