Nigeria’s facing a perfect storm – skyrocketing inflation, fuel scarcity, banditry gripping communities, and families stretched thin – but Imo State’s CAN acting Chairman Rev. Uzoma Uzoeshi declares Christmas the ultimate lifeline, with Jesus Christ as the “Gift of Hope” piercing through the gloom.
As Imo Baptist Conference President, Rev. Uzoeshi paints Jesus as the divine spark delivering salvation, purpose, and eternal life when economies tank and insecurity looms large. This year’s theme spotlights how Christ unites fractured tribes through dialogue, fosters peaceful coexistence, and comforts the economically battered, socially sidelined, or conflict-torn – a message hitting home amid 2025’s relentless challenges like naira devaluation and youth unemployment spikes.
He challenges leaders to channel Christ’s integrity, ditching corruption for people-first service, while rallying everyday Nigerians to embody daily kindness: Feeding the hungry, championing justice, and fairness in markets and neighborhoods. Christmas isn’t just festivities – it’s a call to transform despair into resilient faith, proving hope outshines any darkness.
