The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has officially expressed deep concern over the title of Ini Edo’s new movie, “A Very Dirty Christmas,” labeling it “offensive and disrespectful” to the Christian faith.
In a formal statement signed by President Archbishop Daniel Okoh, the association argued that Christmas is a sacred season representing purity and redemption, and linking it to the word “dirty” diminishes its spiritual significance for millions of believers.
Beyond the title itself, CAN is questioning the NFVCB on how such a name passed through regulatory channels for public exhibition.
While the association maintains that it respects creative freedom, it insists that such freedom must be exercised with responsibility and sensitivity to religious beliefs.
They are now calling on the producers and Ini Edo to reconsider the title, issue a public apology, and treat sacred seasons with the dignity they deserve.
