A short video did what sermons, synods and statements have failed to do in years, it forced a national conversation about Christianity, power and misplaced outrage.
In the clip, actress and filmmaker Ini Edo is in tears apologising, pleading, almost begging the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN not to pull down her movie over its title, Dirty Christmas. It is an uncomfortable watch. Not because a Christian body objected to what it considers offensive, but because an artist found herself publicly prostrated before an institution that is neither a court of law nor a statutory regulator of creative expression.
When a movie title becomes a crisis and moral rot does not.
