Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna, has asserted his Christian faith as well as that of his colleague, Ini Edo.
He says both of them are Christians and, so, would not do anything that would mock Christianity.
He notes this as he refutes the claim by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) that Edo’s movie, ‘AVery Dirty December’, is an assault on Christianity.
In an IG post, Ogbonna writes: “In light of the recent statement by the Christian Association of Nigeria, I feel it’s important to speak from my place as a cast member in A Very Dirty Christmas, where I played the character Frankie.
“Let me be very clear: the title of this movie was never meant to undermine the Christian faith — especially not our faith. I am a Christian. Many members of the cast are Christians. The producer is a Christian. The director is a Christian. At no point was this project created to mock, diminish, or disrespect the sacredness of Christmas.
“I respect the Christian Association of Nigeria and understand the concerns raised. Conversations like this are important. My humble appeal is that we allow the full message of the film — not just the title — to speak for itself.”
