What Does the Bible Say About Christmas?The Bible’s answer: The Bible does not give the date of Jesus’ birth, nor does it say that we should celebrate his birthday. As McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia states: “The observance of Christmas is not of divine appointment, nor is it of NT [New Testament] origin.”Instead, an examination of the history of Christmas exposes its roots in pagan religious rites. The Bible shows that we offend God if we try to worship him in a way that he does not approve of.—Exodus 32:5-7.

History of Christmas customs
Celebrating Jesus’ birthday: “The early Christians did not celebrate [Jesus’] birth because they considered the celebration of anyone’s birth to be a pagan custom.”—The World Book Encyclopedia.

December 25: There is no proof that Jesus was born on that date. Church leaders likely chose this date to coincide with pagan festivals held on or around the winter solstice.

Gift-giving, feasting, partying: The Encyclopedia Americana says: “Saturnalia, a Roman feast celebrated in mid-December, provided the model for many of the merry-making customs of Christmas. From this celebration, for example, were derived the elaborate feasting, the giving of gifts, and the burning of candles.” The Encyclopædia Britannica notes that “all work and business were suspended” during Saturnalia.

Christmas lights: According to The Encyclopedia of Religion, Europeans decorated their homes “with lights and evergreens of all kinds” to celebrate the winter solstice and to combat evil spirits.

Mistletoe, holly: “The Druids ascribed magical properties to the mistletoe in particular. The evergreen holly was worshiped as a promise of the sun’s return.”—The Encyclopedia Americana.

Christmas tree:
“Tree worship, common among the pagan Europeans, survived after their conversion to Christianity.” One of the ways in which tree worship survived is in the custom of “placing a Yule tree at an entrance or inside the house in the midwinter holidays.”​—Encyclopædia B

Crude Oil Was First Discovered In Nigeria In Edda Ebonyi State, And Not Oloibiri In Bayelsa State: Oil Discovery in Nigeria

The history of oil discovery in Nigeria is filled with so many inaccuracies. These inaccuracies as we have come to discover, were either deliberate lies/propaganda by the colonial governments of the time, or very well-orchestrated twisting of a people’s history. However, we owe it to posterity and our people to set the records straight, about where crude oil was first discovered in Nigeria.

Many Nigerians and people of the world believe that crude oil was discovered in Oloibiri in today’s Bayelsa State, but it is not true – crude oil was first discovered in Nguzu, Edda, in today’s Ebonyi state, as far back 1928. This was 29 years before the discovery of crude oil in Oloibiri.

The British, who invaded Igbo land starting in the 1800s, had conquered much of the area which is today known as Nigeria, by 1900. Through sheer force, cunningness, manipulation, and bloodletting, the British had set up colonial governments around the region, and by 1914, they amalgamated the Northern and Southern protectorates into one country called Nigeria.

The British colonial government, against resistance (mainly from the Igbo) was intentional in their grabbing of the land and resources that belonged to the indigenous population. It was around this period when the Ekumeku resistance was still active that the British discovered oil in Edda.

With the British controlling the affairs of Nigeria, and with the search for natural resources across the length and breadth of Igbo land, and Nigeria as a whole, oil was discovered in Edda, and on April 25, 1928, a memorandum was received from the director of geological survey, who confirmed that the fluid they had discovered in Edda was certainly crude oil of medium to high specific gravity, and its discovery was of the greatest importance.
