THE FALLEN AGIA TREE MONUMENT. Under the fallen Agia tree located in the middle of Obada market, Christianity was first preached in Nigeria on September 24, 1842 by Rev Thomas Birch Freeman (Methodist) and the First Christmas service in Nigeria was jointly anchored by himself and Rev Henry Townsend (Anglican). The tree fell on the 20th June, 1959 and replaced with a monument.
