Gbenga Adeyinka (Comedian)

Celebrating Christmas: I will be anchoring an event on Christmas day. 2014 was a great year for me but that is personal. Nigeria could have been better run and I hope that people in power will understand that things are not well with Nigeria and work harder to make it a great place for majority to live and not minority as the case is now. I wish all Nigerians a great 2015 of change.

Expectations in 2015: I want to get better at my art and do more for my immediate environment.

Chioma Toplis (Actress)

Celebrating Christmas: I will be celebrating Christmas in Nigeria. But for now, I don't know how am going to celebrate it. Maybe indoors because I'm not in good frame of mind at at moment. 2014 has been wonderful if not for anything life. There has been so many ups and downs but am very grateful to God for bringing me this far. And I know that the good Lord will perfect what he has started in my life and that of my husband, children, friends and relatives in general

Expectations in 2015: My dear everyone definitely will want good things so also is me but its all in God's hand.

Accapela (Comedian)

Celebrating Christmas: I will be spending the Christmas this year in Ghana, as it has become a routine that we help others celebrate their festive seasons! This year is no different as I will be performing at some churches on the morning of 25th and later leave for Ghana that same day to perform to a mixed African audience!

Expectations in 2015: 2014 for me is a very unstable year for our nation Nigeria!! It's been the blackest of them all..where we have lost so many brothers and sisters to the bombings in the north, loosing our daughters in the chibok adoption and the list is endless! It has however been the best year for me career wise and we hope 2015 gets better. It's going to be the election year and it's time when Nigerians would decide who we deem fit to lead us! We condemn any form or violence during the election period!! We should dread carefully wen we choose our paths this coming year and may GOD help us in His infinite mercy AMEN
