A Very Dirty Christmas – CAN Blows Hot Over Title Of New Nollywood Movie, Cautions Ini Edo

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.

CAN, in a statement signed by Archbishop Daniel Okoh, its President, said while it respects creative freedom and artistic expression, such freedom must be exercised with responsibility and sensitivity, especially in a religiously diverse society like Nigeria.

It added that creativity should build understanding and unity, not provoke or offend deeply held beliefs.

The association said it is concerned that a film bearing such a title passed through regulatory and professional channels without adequate scrutiny.

CAN therefore called on the National Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, to “explain how the title was approved for public exhibition, particularly during the Christmas season”.

CAN also urged industry bodies such as the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, and other stakeholders in Nollywood to take a clear stand on the use of religious themes and symbols in ways that may offend faith communities.

Furthermore, CAN called on “the producers and promoters of the film to reconsider the title, issue a public apology, and take deliberate steps to ensure that religious symbols and sacred seasons are treated with the dignity they deserve. In this regard”.

CAN urged the producer of the movie, Ini Edo, to show sensitivity and address the concerns raised by the Christian community.

“At a time when the nation is already facing serious moral and social challenges, actions that trivialise sacred values only deepen division and erode mutual respect,”
CAN added.

“I responded, ‘Oh! This is Omah Lay, he is hot.’ And then the next day, Omah Lay tweeted like, ‘Wow! Davido gave me a shoutout on a livestream, I thought he hated me.’ And I Dmed him, ‘Why would you think I hate you? We’ve never met.’

“We eventually, exchanged numbers and we were going back-and-forth with music. We did about four songs and he chose ‘With You’ as the one we would release,” he explained.

‘With You’ is one of the standout tracks of Davido’s fifth album, 5ive.

The song has been nominated for the Best African Music Performance category at the 2026 Grammy Awards.

Court Has Ruled She Must Undergo Drug Rehab First – Ned Nwoko Reacts To Regina Daniels’ Claims That He Stopped Her From Accessing Their Kids

A court has ordered Nollywood actress Regina Daniels to undergo drug rehabilitation and be evaluated by the Abuja Social Welfare Department before she can be granted access to her children with Senator Ned Nwoko.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that Regina Daniels recently vowed to fight for the custody of her two sons, Munir and Khalifa.

According to the thespian, her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, has filed for full custody of her boys, despite the children being in his care.

Speaking via Instagram, she lamented that the repeated public exposure of her children is a deliberate attempt by her husband to garner attention.

The thespian alleged that Nwoko has dismissed all her nannies and forced them to make false statements that she is violent and an alcoholic.

In response, Nwoko, in a statement issued on Tuesday via his Instagram page, denied claims that he prevented Regina from seeing their kids.

The lawmaker pointed out that a court has ruled and given conditions for her to have access to their children.

Speaking on Regina’s displeasure about posting photos and videos of their kids on social media, Ned Nwoko argued that the movie star has, in the past, also posted videos and pictures of their kids on social media, wondering why she is against it now.

Nigerian TikToker, Jarvis Confirms Breakup With Peller, Appeals Against Mockery

TikTok content creator Elizabeth Amadou, popularly known as Jarvis, has confirmed the end of her relationship with fellow influencer and livestreamer Hamzat Habeeb, known as Peller. She also urged the public to stop mocking him in the wake of his recent car crash during a live broadcast.

Jarvis made the disclosure in a live video shared online on Tuesday amid widespread reactions to Peller’s hospitalisation after the incident on the Lekki‑Epe Expressway in Lagos.

Addressing online commentary surrounding the crash and the couple’s relationship, Jarvis said public ridicule was exacerbating an already painful situation.

“It’s always people will mock me. Because I can see concern about this online. People will mock him, stop mocking him. Stop shading him,”
she said.

She stressed that the incident should not be used to define Peller’s character, insisting she never portrayed him as a bad person.

Acknowledging Peller’s emotional challenges, Jarvis described his struggle with emotional control as the core issue rather than malice.

“Yes, he cannot control his emotions. He cannot control. That’s the problem. I can control mine, but he can’t control his. We need to join hands together to help him,” she said.

Confirming that they are no longer together, Jarvis said the breakup was necessary and should not be misconstrued as abandonment.

“Peller is a sweet guy, I do not even want it to even end but it has happened, it has happened,” she said.

Jarvis emphasised that the focus should now be on supporting Peller’s wellbeing and healing.

“The relationship is not the thing now. It’s not saying let’s go back to who we were. The solution is let’s put our heads together to work on him. To be better. Not space of we not talking, it is space of this relationship thing. It is over for now,”
she said.

She explained that the separation was intended to give space for healing and urged supporters and social media users to desist from harmful narratives.

“Stop your shading. How is it helping? It’s not helping. Don’t use it against him. Encourage him. Encourage us. Help us. Stop using our pain to mock us,”
she added.

Expressing emotional distress, Jarvis said the online reactions had deepened the pain surrounding the situation.

Jarvis urged the public to be thankful that no life was lost in the crash and to prioritise wellbeing.

“All you people should be saying is thank God for life. Thank God for Peller. Thank God nothing happened to him.

“I love him, but for now we need to be okay. I’m not okay anymore. I want to be okay. He needs to be okay, he needs to be fine,” she said.

She concluded by noting that breakups do not always stem from hatred but sometimes from a need for clarity and calm.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that Peller sparked concern on Sunday after crashing his car during an Instagram livestream titled “RIP Peller” on the Lekki‑Epe Expressway.

In the footage, Peller was seen alone in his newly acquired Mercedes‑Benz, visibly distressed and crying during a phone conversation believed to be with Jarvis amid rumours of a breakup.

At several points during the broadcast, he appeared agitated and made alarming statements, including, “I will use this car and have an accident right now,” and later, “I’m scared. I’m scared.”

In a particularly worrying moment, he said, “If you break up with me, people will be mocking me… Thank you, I’m going to kill myself.”

Moments later, the vehicle was seen veering off the road before crashing into a stone barrier.

Subsequent videos circulating online showed Peller being assisted by bystanders before he was taken to a hospital.
