Dear Esteemed Sons and Daughters of Ndokwa Nation,
At home and in the diaspora,
With a heart full of gratitude, joy, and hope, I warmly extend my sincere Christmas greetings for 2025 and my best wishes for a prosperous New Year 2026 to every son and daughter of the great Ndokwa community, wherever you may be across the world. This season is one that calls us to pause, reflect, appreciate God’s faithfulness, and renew our commitment to one another as a people bound by heritage, culture, and shared destiny.
Christmas is a sacred reminder of love, humility, sacrifice, and peace. It marks the birth of Jesus Christ, whose life and teachings continue to inspire compassion, forgiveness, unity, and service to humanity. As we celebrate this glorious season, may the true meaning of Christmas dwell richly in our homes, communities, and hearts. May love replace bitterness, unity overcome division, and hope rise above every challenge we may have encountered in the year 2025.
To our fathers and mothers, elders, and traditional custodians of Ndokwa land, we honour your wisdom, sacrifices, and steadfast guidance. You are the pillars that uphold our cultural values and moral strength. May this Christmas bring you renewed strength, sound health, and peace of mind. May your days be long and filled with joy, and may you continue to reap the fruits of your labour in the lives of the younger generation.
To our youths—the pride and future of Ndokwa nation—this season reminds us that tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. As you celebrate Christmas and step into the New Year 2026, may you be guided by purpose, discipline, and integrity. May opportunities open for you locally and internationally, and may you rise above limitations to fulfil your God-given potential. Let us remember that progress for Ndokwa begins with responsible, educated, and united youths who are willing to serve and lead with vision.
To our brothers and sisters in the diaspora, your contributions, sacrifices, and continued connection to home are deeply appreciated. Though distance separates us physically, our hearts remain firmly rooted in Ndokwa land. This festive season, may the warmth of home reach you wherever you are. May your efforts abroad yield success, favour, and stability. We pray that the New Year 2026 brings greater breakthroughs, safe travels, and renewed bonds between you and your loved ones at home.
As a people, 2025 may have come with its share of challenges—economic pressures, social concerns, and personal struggles—but Christmas reminds us that light always shines brighter in the darkness. Let us carry this light into 2026 with renewed faith in God, belief in ourselves, and commitment to collective progress. The Ndokwa spirit is one of resilience, hard work, and unity. Together, there is no height we cannot attain.
In the New Year 2026, I sincerely pray for peace across Ndokwa communities, progress in education, improved healthcare, sustainable development, and opportunities for our people. May our land experience growth, harmony, and good leadership at all levels. May businesses flourish, families remain united, and our sons and daughters be protected wherever they go.
Let us also use this season to strengthen our cultural heritage—our language, values, and communal spirit—so that future generations will be proud of who they are and where they come from. Unity remains our greatest strength. When we stand together, respecting one another despite differences, Ndokwa will continue to move forward with pride and dignity.
As we share meals, laughter, gifts, and prayers this Christmas, let us remember the less privileged among us. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, can bring great joy and restore hope. May generosity define us this season and beyond.
In conclusion, may Christmas 2025 bring you joy unspeakable, love unconditional, and peace everlasting. May New Year 2026 usher in new beginnings, divine favour, good health, and abundant blessings for you and your household. May God bless Ndokwa land, bless our people at home and abroad, and crown all our efforts with success.
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year!
Yours sincerely,
Ifeanyi Japhet Ossai
