The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has expressed outrage over the title of a new movie - A Very Dirty Christmas.
CAN said it considers the title offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith.
The Christian body noted that Christmas is a sacred season that marks the birth of Jesus Christ and represents purity, peace, love and redemption, adding that linking such a holy celebration with the word "dirty" diminishes its spiritual meaning and reduces a solemn religious observance to something crude and sensational.
