Nigerians have reacted to the Easter message sent on Monday from Sterling Bank to her customers, comparing Jesus Christ’s resurrection with Agege bread.
Many Nigerians on social media called out the bank, labelling the message as ‘insensitive’, ‘distasteful’, ‘mockery’, and demanding an immediate apology from Sterling Bank.
One of the many Nigerians @olajacs tweeted, “Dear Sterling Bank, it is not funny comparing the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, the basis for our faith as Christians to Agege bread. That’s so insensitive”.
Another, angry Nigerian Duchess Adedoyin said, “This is such a distasteful mail to receive from Sterling Bank on Easter Sunday.
Sodji Adeleke Abraham in his angry tweets called on the Christian associations to take up the matter with the bank. “Christian Association of Nigeria, PFN, and other Christians should take this up. Coming from a bank that practices Islamic banking is totally unacceptable.
Many also said that this is a mail that the bank needs to quickly recall and apologise to everyone that received it.
“Comparing the resurrection of Jesus to Agege bread is distasteful,” they said.
