Actors IK Ogbonna and Rita Dominic responded to religious criticism of a film title. The movie, A Very Dirty Christmas, faced backlash from the Christian Association of Nigeria. Ogbonna stated the cast, producer, and director are all Christians with no disrespect intended.
He explained the title references the Detty December festive period in Nigeria. Ogbonna asked critics to judge the film's message about love and forgiveness, not just its name. Rita Dominic supported this view, urging people to see the movie before forming opinions.
She emphasized the right to creative expression for artists. The National Film and Video Censors Board has reportedly asked the producers to consider a title change. The film remains in cinemas nationwide for the holiday season.
