The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, makers of Peak Milk, over an offensive Easter advert that has sparked outrage among Christians in the country.

In the controversial advert, the company used the crucifixion of Jesus Christ as a metaphor to promote their product on Good Friday, a move that CAN described as “totally unacceptable” to the Christian population.

The General Secretary of CAN, Barrister Joseph Daramola, warned the company to retract the advert, tender an apology to Christians or face legal action and boycott of their products by Christians.

“We find this advert to be insensitive, offensive, and totally unacceptable. Good Friday is a solemn day for Christians all over the world, a day we commemorate the death of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who was crucified on the cross for our sins. It is not a day to be used for crass commercial purposes,” he said.

Daramola added that FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC’s action was disrespectful to the Christian faith and an affront to millions of Christians in Nigeria and beyond.

“We are deeply disappointed that a company of such repute would stoop so low to exploit the religious sentiments of its customers for profit,” he said.

CAN further said that it was considering imposing sanctions against FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, including a boycott of their products by its and other well-meaning Nigerians who share its concerns.

“We call on the company to issue an unreserved apology to the Christian community and withdraw the offensive advert immediately,” it said.

The Christian body also recalled a similar incident in the past when Sterling Bank Plc used crucifixion imagery to promote its product, stating that it condemned it then and now.

“We, therefore, urge all companies and organizations to be mindful of the religious and cultural sensitivities of their customers when promoting their products. We will not tolerate any attempt to trivialize or disrespect our faith. Be warned,” the statement added.

That's unacceptable

The post doesn't add up.
CAN should focus on more important issues.
Imagine doing a threat to sue a company for an innocent advert and also trying to get christians to boycott taking the product.
Please peak milk is not a Muslim company.

The same Christian association of Nigeria CAN that is good at collecting bribe from OBI

CAN made a good move on that.
You can't just ridicule the Christian faith and let it slide like it's nothing.

Next thing CAN needs to take more seriously, and I mean vcery very seriously is to impose a ban on skit makers and comedians from exclaiming the name of Jesus Christ in their skits and comedies; it is inappropriate and very much unacceptable.

The same way your Ashawo mother dey collect money from men

Please CAN should top all this.
We are not Muslims.
God can fight for himself.

Does CAN have relevance again since they started meddling in politics, demonizing some set of persons and depicting others as "saints" while also using the pulpit to spread falsehoods and lies in the name of prophecies. They are the modern day pharisees and Sadducees
The bible is correct and valid when it says judgement will start from the house of God.

.

Only MURIC we all know that misbehaves on petty issues like this before

Christian Association of Nigeria.
Nigeria Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs.
Africa is really a joke. Religion and tribe are what is uppermost in their minds. Cursed continent

Yes, because they know that following Jesus Christ is for gullible people. Time to change to Judaism.

Same CAN whose voted a Muslim -Muslim ticket because of tribe.

They should get out

This advert is totally wrong
