Venezuelan President Moves Christmas Celebrations to October Amid Economic Struggles
In a surprising announcement, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has shifted the nation’s Christmas celebrations to October, defying global norms of December festivities.
In a live TV address, Maduro stated, “It is September and it already smells like Christmas,” declaring October 1st as the new start for the holiday season.
This decision has met with skepticism and frustration from Venezuelans, who face severe economic difficulties.
Ernesto Ruiz, a Caracas resident, criticized the move, saying, “Christmas should be a time of joy and family reunions, but with our current crisis, an early celebration seems unrealistic.”
Similarly, Inés Quevedo, a mother of two, expressed concerns over basic needs, highlighting the stagnant minimum wage of 130 bolivars per month and the insufficient food bonus.
Many are questioning how they will manage the financial burden of an early Christmas amid ongoing hardship.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
