Nigeria’s Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is fuming over Nollywood star Ini Edo’s new flick titled “A Very Dirty Christmas,” blasting it as a crude slap at Jesus’ birth that slaps “dirty” on purity, peace and redemption—demanding the National Film and Video Censors Board explain how this Christmas-season bomb got the green light.
CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh fired off Wednesday’s statement, insisting creative freedom stops short of offending diverse faiths in a tense nation—urging Nollywood guilds like AGN to nix religious cheap shots, while begging producers for a title swap, public sorry and dignity for sacred vibes amid moral slides.
This clash spotlights Nollywood’s tightrope on faith-sensitive hits, with CAN vowing to call out faith-trashing flops that fuel divides instead of unity.
