Bishop Emmanuel Badejo of the Catholic Diocese of Oyo has advised Nigerians, both young and old, to do more good acts than talk good talk” during Christmas, adding that it is a time for positive action.
He made the call in his Christmas message, noting that the season was about giving and urged Nigerians to give not only of themselves but also their time, resources and love.
According to him, God took the love initiative and gave up his only son, without which there could not gave been Christmas.
Badejo also described Davido, the Nigerian pop singer as ‘a Christmas ambassador as he raised 251 million naira from his admirers and gave all away to orphanages all over Nigeria.
He said that Davido’s action was the opposite of the trending habit whereby everybody would want everything for themselves in a tragic and corrosive race of entitlement.
The Bishop stated that regrettably, there were too many people in recent time who had jettisoned the place of Jesus Christ in the season.
