Controversial On-Air Personality, Daddy Freeze has condemned Africans who celebrate Christmas.
He said the annual festival to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ is a Europeanized, Romanized and Pagan festival.
According to him, it is hypocritical for Nigerians to label indigenous festivals like Egungun festival, New Yam Festival and others as demonic, when they joyfully celebrate a foreign festival.
He stated that people who fall into this category are not Christians, but slaves and products of Neocolonialism.
The broadcaster, who is famous for his controversial opinions on religious matters, said as long as we embrace European versions of African faith, black lives can never matter.
Many are products of Neo colonialism, mistaking slave traditions for spirituality!

There appear to be some sort of hostility between former Big Brother Naija housemates, Diane and Ike Onyeoma as they’ve both unfollowed each other on social media platform, Instagram.
Few days after he unfollowed her on the photo sharing app, Diane reciprocated the action by also unfollowing him on the app and shortly after, took to her Twitter page to say she isn’t the kind of person who usually unfollows or blocks people, but when she does, there’s no going back.
She wrote,
I don’t unfollow/block easily.
If I do, there’s no undoing.
Moving forward, keep the same energy
This has got fans wondering if their actions is as a result of the failed romantic affair between Ike and Mercy as it was earlier revealed that they’d broken up and Mercy is now with a different person.
But a quick check also shows that the model unfollowed most of his colleagues from the Pepper Dem show.
