24 December 1914, Christmas Eve The weather changes to a hard frost. This makes
trench conditions a little more bearable. 98 British
soldiers die on this day, many are victims of sniper fire. A German aeroplane drops a bomb on Dover: the first air raid in British history. During the afternoon and early evening, British infantry are astonished to see many Christmas trees with candles and paper lanterns, on enemy parapets. There is much singing of carols, hymns and popular songs, and a gradual exchange of communication and even meetings in
some areas. Many of these meetings are to arrange collection of bodies. In other places, firing continues. Battalion officers are uncertain how to react; in general they maintain precautions. The night brings a clear, still air with a hard frost. Units behind the lines attend church services and have in most cases arranged Christmas dinners which are taken in barns and shattered buildings. In the front lines, the fraternisation of Christmas Eve is continued
throughout the day; not all units know about it, and it is not universal but is widespread over at least half of the British front. Many bodies that have been lying out in no man's land are buried, some in joint burials. Many men record the strange and wonderful events; may men exchange tokens or addresses with German
soldiers, many of whom speak English. 81 British
soldiers die on this day; a few die in areas that are otherwise peaceful and with fraternisation going on, victims of alert snipers. In other areas,there is considerable activity: 2nd Grenadier Guards suffer losses in a day of heavy fighting. As night fell, things grew quiet as men fell back to their trenches to take whatever Christmas meal that had been provided for them.

NOTE: the problem as never been the people, its the Leaders.

This is what the Igbo and Yoruba tribe should emulate during the Christmas season! !!!

Very Soon APc n PdP members will feel the same sensation those soldiers felt.

Britain and Germany are different nations, just as Odua and Biafra. Peace will reign the day we exist as independent countries, respecting each others boundaries.
