The Christian Association of Nigeria has condemned the title of a new Nollywood film produced by actress Ini Edo.
The association described the title A Very Dirty Christmas as offensive and disrespectful to Christian beliefs.
CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh said Christmas represents the birth of JESUS CHRIST and symbolises purity and redemption.
He stated that associating the celebration with the word dirty undermines its sacred meaning.
CAN called on the National Film and Video Censors Board to explain how the title was approved.
The association also urged the Actors Guild of Nigeria and other industry stakeholders to promote religious sensitivity.
Ini Edo is the executive producer of the film, which was directed by Akay Mason.
The movie premiered in cinemas across Nigeria in December.
