What does your average Nigerian Muslim, do on Christmas day? Well, the truth is like for many Christians, the preparation begins far earlier than December 25.
Enjoy this sneak peek into what we think is the mind of a Nigerian Muslim as Christmas approaches:
1. As Christmas approaches, you are there thinking: Is it really Haram to celebrate?
What is Haram?
2. So you begin to do unnecessary research, to justify what you really want to do.
Quran reading
3. After two days of research, you decide, what really matters is to be happy, celebrate with people and show love.
Don’t judge me
4. Now you are looking at your list of Christian friends, like…
List of friends
5. Then, you decide to call them to confirm, because people can be funny and you don’t want any stories.
Calling Christians
6. While your devout Muslim friends are low-key shaming you for wanting to celebrate Christmas. Following you around like…
Shame
7. You feel a little guilty, but you have to act like…
Don’t even care
8. When you realize, most of them are not even cooking for Christmas, after they ate your Sallah ram.
Betrayed
9. On Christmas day, you are in your house, smelling all the chicken and trying to act cool.
Not bothered
10. Then that one friend you are not expecting to call, calls and says: “Having a party at my place, wanna come?”
On my way
11. When you get there and there is actually good food and music….
Total surprise
12. So you throw your home training away and partyyyyy…
Party time
13. It is only as you head home, you realize, that Jesus whose birthday it is was not even mentioned at the party.
Not understanding
