The Christ Glory Church Pastor, Ilorin, Abiodun Solomon has advised Christians to celebrate Christmas within their financial capacities to avoid running into debts.
Solomon gave the advice in Ilorin, on Saturday, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said that there was no need to engage in any competition while celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

“Don’t involve yourself in any debt in an effort to celebrate Christmas.
