According to Nivo News, CAN said the title conflicts with the sacred meaning of Christmas, a season that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and embodies peace, love, and purity. The association argued that linking the holy season to the word “dirty” undermines its spiritual significance, turning a solemn religious celebration into something crude.

While recognizing the importance of creative freedom in art and filmmaking, CAN stressed that such freedom should be exercised responsibly, particularly in a religiously diverse country like Nigeria. The group also raised concerns over how the movie’s title received approval for public screening without adequate regulatory scrutiny, calling on the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to clarify the approval process, especially during the Christmas period.

CAN further urged industry organizations, including the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), to adopt clear guidelines on the respectful use of religious themes and symbols in films. The association appealed to the film’s producer, Ini Edo, to reconsider the title, issue a public apology, and ensure that future productions handle sacred subjects with greater sensitivity.

The association concluded that in a period marked by moral and social challenges, actions that belittle sacred traditions could deepen divisions and erode mutual respect among communities.
