The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Monday described a recent social media advert by FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, makers of Peak Milk as insensitive, offensive, and totally unacceptable. The dairy company had used the crucifixion of Jesus Christ as a metaphor to promote their product on Good Friday. CAN says it is considering sanctions against FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, including a boycott of their products by their members and all well-meaning Nigerians who share our concerns.

Business owners need to mind their use of words when advertising 🚴

If they were to use any otherworldly terms or headlines, I know that the critics will embrace them and let them go viral.

A Welcome measure

Dem no get money to buy am …its getting too expensive

What is CAN 😂😂😂😂

Every time boycott. When there’s greater things to boycott

A group of unserious church leaders 😂😂 what has this to do with The issues in Nigeria? Misplaced Priorities

The milk is cumin 😩

Hmm. Does CAN have a substitute that would provide nourishment for her numerous gullible followers? More important news please.

Nigeria with their religous sentiment. I have seen Many post peak milk wishing the Muslim community happy Ramadan and suggest they use peak milk for breaking of fast.. When to fight they won't fight

Very distasteful and insensitive ad

Everything nah religion for this country

For their families alone

Can in the can

Una dey ment, wetin CAN do Make e sha no be true Coz shey CAN dey smoke ni

This is the height of insensitivity and utter disrespect for people's religion, all in the name of capitalism! This makes no sense!

Can the average 9ja citizen still afford peak milk or any can milk? Can CAN please respond. (Pun intended) There are bigger issue plaguing the Nigerian State - terrorism, kidnapping and banditry, multidimensional poverty, poor healthcare and educational infrastructure …

They haven forgotten the risen bread saga from last year so quickly. Nigerians and short memories. Mtcheeew !

Abeg make dem concentrate on real issues facing us.

Everything about this contraption is base on the west religion...tuehhhhhh

I bet peak thought this was wise

You can only try it with Christians because they preach peace....try make a mock of Islam.

They have to apologize... very lame advert I will switch to Hollandia . PeakMilk FrieslndCampina

They should have gone with something simple....'Happy Easter from all of us at Peak Milk.... that's all

Team A: What's offensive in this ad. Team B: Can they try this with Muslims/Islam Me: Stfu. Tend to your affairs and stop extrapolating nonsense. I assume U have enough guidelines in christianity to deal with your affairs. Why seek external validation from elsewhere?

Why should this picture bother us, religion is a trap distracting us from keeping the commands of God “Love your neighbors as you love yourself” no matter what you believe, obey this command and we will live in peace.

What does peak aim to achieve, if not that many people have their patronage, they with this can deligetimise their market. This content they have used makes no meaning towards the death reussurection of christ

The person that threatened should speak for itself. Na Peak Milk them fit Shakara.

I see absolutely nothing wrong here. As a matter of fact, Christ was not a Christian!!!!!!

I see nothing wrong here please,CAN should face the Real issues affecting the Nigerian porpulace presently.

Mo jeri awon Omo iya mi ninu esin, office ati baje before apology.

Wahala for who dey drink peak

Peak milk must pay heavily for this

Okay 👍

Isn’t this suppose to be a creative Ad? What’s the issue here now?!!

So they CAN?

Story for the gods. Christianity is a weak religion 🤣

Even if I wasn't a Christian, this is a very nauseating content. What exactly do they want to achieve by creating this? There's already high competition in their market. Many better alternatives already exist, so why will they intentionally demarket themselves this way?

CAN is a JOKE. The hierarchy of CAN shld be REMOVED & REPLACED with credible leaders. They didn't seek redress when Deborah was lynched in Sokoto. They didn't seek redress when elrufai & KashimSM made mockery of Jesus; it's Peak Milk, they seek to boycott. Make UNA GETAT!

Please everyone should stop being 'offended ' HABA.

We now know who they truly are. Shame

Oh please this is a good concept

Peak milk was only trying to exhibit how peak milk is important to us using that portrait.. I don't know why this is causing issues . Is it because it was done during this Easter period or what? Make we dey channel our vexation to the right place, abeg

What kind of blasphemous advert is this? Isn't there a law against this?

Why do most brands do things like this.

There are better things to be focused on ,not this. But I mean ,there’s no such thing as bad publicity so I think it’s a good thing for the brand . It won’t stop people from buying 🤗

If such a thing happened it's very unethical. No one should insult the Religious Sensibility of another.

Can they portray Mohammed in this pattern 🤔

Huuum! People see and reason things differently. If CAN didn't react, some Muslims may decide not to buy peak milk again because it is used in relation to Christ. We are crazy for what we are not practising accordingly. Yeye!

Nothing offensive here. Isn't this the narrative pushed about Easter? Didn't CAN teaches us how Jesus was bruised and nailed on both hands, all for our sins? So if Peak Milk is narrating same to us, what's the offense? CAN should stop this pettiness.

I am a graphic designer and I'm open for jobs pls

You can say or do this with other religions or their prophets. If you try it, the country will burn. This making nonsense of our faith has got to stop.

Like they have another one they are producing by their self iranu jatijati 😏

That one na their problem....

Wow....blasphemy

CAN still get mic for hand ?. Lol

Let them come to my house to stop me

Was the advert in bad taste? Yes. Was it offensive? No Can should concentrate more on fixing its battered image before indulging in a public relations war Abi dem wan fight religious war over a spilled can of milk ni?

Is CAN a paper lion? No action only threats?

This is actually offensive to Christians. And the fact that they had to post it on a Good Friday made it all worse. How will you feel if someone makes mockery of your religion?

why can't you people allow Jesus to fight for himself as you christians use to tell Muslims

U guys have lost relevance. U can boycott it. Others will consume it

This advert is so dumb!!! How does the bruised can relate with the milk or buying it. Rubbish!!!

As if they so care about the Christians. Same people who will see their own people die in their numbers yet they only pray for the church. We pray for milk drinkers. Trust me if they ask me to stop taking peak milk i will start drinking in cartons. Rubbish.

CAN-TIN

This is highly insensitive and condemnable. They should do better.

Every tom, dick and harry getting offended by every lousy bit of information. Lousy trend.

This is satanic add

This advert makes no sense, How do you link a Messiah with a milk product, What exactly is the connection? Peak should do better, Shame!

Empty threat. Nobody takes them serious again. If APC took them serious they wouldn't have fielded 2 muslims for president. They knew they could always bring in tribalism to sail through. Most GOs are from SW who didn't see anything wrong with it. CAN has lost its worth

Well , I think the product is down with this if other alternate product good in advert this is enough to bring there profit down.

As if CAN dey drink milk. After Peter obi used u people in election and you fail, na peak milk u guys want pour your anger

Christianity has been turned into a business venture, that's what you get when monetary values surpass principles

Nice one. Shey una no go drink milk again abi na just peak milk? At least price go reduce now bcos of low demand. My days of drinking garri is back

Terrorists Christian's always fighting for their Lord, your Lord can't fight for himself

No more peak milk in my house. Nonsense peak milk:

RakaFatima Extremist🤡🤡

Them and who? The more the boycott the more we will buy it

CAN, I can assure you has found an opportunity to cash out. Wait and hear nothing more!

If you're a Christian and you work for peak company or factory, oya resign with immediate effect as form of protest. Na when hunger show you 99. Then you'll know say Jesus no send you message. Dey play

Boycott ko boycott ni. Una think say na sterling bank ? Make una stop all this nonsense religious fight. Both Christianity and Islam should be kicked out of Africa

Misplace priorities that's really what I think here, CAN should that Christianity is not religion, but a way of life, let's use this period to bring more men unto salvation than going after peak milk

But you cannot boycott church, go on protest over the killings of Christians in Southern Kaduna 😭😢😢😢

I like my Muslim brothers. Every shop selling peak product would have been on fire by now. Try it na. 😂😂

I don’t understand what just happened

The last time it was Sterling bank with their agege bread, today it's peak milk. Why are they always trying out their washed out creativity on christianity? Well, we will get back to you guys later, incase if the agbado family sent you guys to distract us. It won't work. So focus

Last year was sterling bank 😂 😂 😂

What a lame idea. The board that approved the idea should be annulled. Comparing can of milk with Our Lord Jesus is an insult. CAN ought to announce this in all churches. Christians take this lightly. If this was done against a the Muslim I trust they won't take it easy.

Let them do one. We are focused on the main issues.

What is CAN ? They didn't say anything when the ruling party choose a Muslim/Muslim ticket 🎫,didn't talk during Debora's death killed by some m^slims, didn't talk during the Owo Church Massacre when so many Christians were k!lled,recent Benue k!lling & so many k!llings in NG

What's wrong with this advert Everybody,Fame are facing crucifixion in Nigeria They're just expressing their feelings

This is pure insensitivity from Friesland. How can the battering, bruising, bleeding, and the crucifixion of Christ now be equated with what Peak milk has been through. Let them experiment this during the birthday of the Muslim messenger of Allah let's check something.

Na only this type of fight them like

Mumu CAN vexing for a mere picture of a can of milk, when there are bigger issues facing the country.

Rubbish!! Insult to the body of Christ. Can they mock Muhammad and still do business in Nigeria?

Which can please? Where is the threat? On Twitter? IG? or Facebook? Link please

Such a stupid advert.

No need Christ is risen. New beginning

I believe the owners of PeakMilk are anti Christ. My Lord Jesus Christ is indeed merciful and slow to anger. If not...

CAN will surely pull new strings. Am tired of all this attack against each others. I don't know when we will grow and wise up in this country. If they believe the Advert is detrimental to Christianity they should let God himself judge. We human want to Judge all.

This is not a creative copywriting ad, why didn't they test the ad before exposure as standard practice? Brand marketing should learn to draw the line between creative work and religion in a market like this.

How is this offensive? Abi CAN want trend?

Peak milk just hit it wrong trust me....you can't ridicule a religion....all in the name of advert....its abnormal...

😄😄😄😄😄

What have the Christians association done for the killing by fulani federal government of Nigeria, who use boko haram to kill Christians

Which Christian Association woo na ni gan. Na something wey no make sense dem go put mouth, whoever is making that threat na him family e dey talk for . I be Chriatian and i no dey boycott anything for here.

Make dem REST jooooo

I really don't know why people still buy peak milk with that watery taste

How’s this offensive?

If it’s WhatsApp chat now, they will kill Deborah.

May God forgive them for they know not what they are doing...

My take: knowing how sensitive religious matters re in this part of the world, people should be careful on the choices of their contents. Last time, it was a banker using bread. I trust no one will try such with other religions. But Christians ll always be played. I rest my case.

It's about time they started to speak against some of these nonsense that's been going on in various areas including some music videos

CAN angry over a can of milk...

The company and the people who approved this advert should be sanctioned, the other time it was Sterling_Bankng and agege bread.

In the end,,,everybody goes to hell....

GenZ be doing the most, no deep reasoning and maturity, just mad concept and vibes.

They should ask Brazil how it went with them!

On top advert? Religion in African eh

Nothing wrong here, just some CAN with misplaced priorities...I'm also a believer

This is pure blasphemy....But thanks be to God for grace and Truth through our Lord Jesus Christ

Nothing is wrong with the message. Infact I love the message they passed with this creativity

Misplaced priorities 😂😂

Is this offensive? Maybe I didn't find it offensive because I am not a Christian. However, if the Christians find this offensive, the company should bring the advert down and apologize accordingly.

Peak is to expensive compared to other milk products, its already boycotting itself 🤔

Religious madness is disturbing Africa in general..They fight for their gods more than the gods fight for himself,let alone for them...

I guess it wasn't intentional, but there should always be patient before posting.

This people sha

I’m not boycotting anything, i love peak milk

They should so we atheists can get Peak milk at cheaper rate and enjoy it in peace

CAN competing with MURIC

There's no offense in this adverts, it's harmless, all those nonesense things some of your pastors and prophets are doing in their churches are worse than this. Brood of vipers, shameless hypocrite group of people!

Painful that Jesus is not around to turn Water to Milk for them.

Them now fit, CAN wey no dey united, them never control themselves na to curb wetin Nigerian Christians dey drink.

That is why Christianity is still the best, nobody fights for religion.

Na today we don dey see all this blasphemy against Christian faith, as a Christian we are Christ follower, we forgive those who trespass against us,you don't make fun of Christ, rather u make fun of yourself

Please why is it that in Nigeria we fight for our God but when it comes to our rights we wait for God to come and fight for us

Abeg, we ain’t extremist. They should boycott Buhari and his cohort APC invites first not peak milk wey if I add Amstel Malt inside, drink am, e go give me quantum blood. CAN should know that we don’t fight for our God but our God fight for Himself. He deems it fit whom to fight

CAN is fighting against CAN peak milk, we're waiting for the final whistle.

The use of Peak milk is unfortunate and a known offensive and thoughtless attack against a peaceful Faith. We are used to it. The message of Christ's sacrifice for the world cannot be reduced to a tin milk. We will give love for all sorts of attack/s in step of the Master.

Make them rest jor, even if this is wrong, does that mean they want to fight for Jesus? Hypocrisy sha

Religious war 🤦🏽‍♂️

If you watch all their ads now, you'll see that they are very passionate about Islam. It's an Islamic milk.

Who are they representing me or their individual pocket?

Joblessness

I won't even buy it again😂😀😅😃😁🤣

A very lame advertisment,who go buy a bruise can of milk? If u don't ve a neat Can of milk,i am not buying The person that brought this idea and the board that approve it should be ashame of themselves, people should learn when to drop the bar and know their limit.

They cant try that with islam

We no de fight for our God. This does nothing to what Jesus did for us. It doesn’t in any way diminish the power of the Gospel unto salvation.

I no know when my people go realize say religion no really dey important in human life, just try do good whenever you can and avoid wickedness and you're good to go..

Spilled milk has divided Christianity in Nigeria CAN as top echelon are threatening a boycott while followers find no fault in the advert... Who are those on the fence 😂😂😂😂

lol y’all make movies every year , make low self esteem members carry crosses that’s already been carried for us all by our Lord, Jesus Christ and y’all wanna be mad at this lol 🤡

Are Christians throughly United !

How many are they lolzz toothless bull 🐕 s nonsense 😎🚬

I can't see anything offensive about this advert.

What kind of advert is this?

Christian’s and dramas

Everwidom They are on their own. RUBBISH!

Christianity, the most peaceful and loving religion in Nigeria ♥️

Some of these easter designs, I know they were trying to be creative, but it ended up being weird.

This advert is wrong in all sense.

All the whole things happening in Nigeria, na this one they decide to put mouth

The downfall of Peak Milk.

Terrorist Muslim crushing Christians as they bleed in both sides on Easter day killing, the message is clear. Don't forget Muslim Muslim terror jihadist ticket is ending the ZOO.

This is actually a good ad

Insulting advertisement.

Sahara Reporters are you sure about this information? Stop peddling unverified news or show us where CAN made this statement

Mumu can...... Is dat a thing.... People are keed on daily basis no comment from u.... Na Jesus wen giv em life for us una wan pretend to fight for

Bffr 😒

No Responsible Christian will see this subversive image and still consume this product without the Company’s apology and withdrawal of the evil image. Only JESUS was bruised and pierced us!

..Will they stop me from buying peak milk?

CAN would leave weighty matters and be chasing shadows.

Y’all it’s not the wording, it’s the imagery

Boycott ke, what will happen to the ones I have already… 😂

0x3f11a865ea376e63d9eccf72173cb7abbd4c11a9

This is wrong.

This is classic creative work

I'm yet to see anything wrong with this 'Branding' sha

Na only dem go boycott ... No be dem go tell us wetin we go do🤣

PeakMilk you should fire your entire marketing team. They do not have your best interests..

CAN! Are you now fighting for GOD? you don't do that, please.

If you were to try this crazy advert in nigerianistan with Islam;religious war will breakout from the jihadist movement and Christ has been denigrated/disparaged as a tin of milk.Peak milk company must Learn to respect other religions &tensions in nigeria!

I go still drink peak milk with pap

Christians are not that stupid, stop carrying fake news 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Sincerely this is condescending and insensitive. It is an insult to the Christian faith PeakMilk , will you attempt this level of disrespectful post with Muslims?. Woke christians ,it is not everything you neglect and overlook.They will attempt worse in the nearest future.

Misplaced priority

Assistant Jesus has spoken. Peak Milk beware!

Nigerians have put religion in every single thing of their life

Peak is wrong for doing this. They could put it up any other day but on Easter nope

Why would CAN want to boycott peak milk CAN? Can they notice they have something in common

Let them go ahead now everything about them is religious war 🤣

Our dear neighbour Mohammed would never be privy to such treatment 😭 We’ve all lost the plot lol

Stop the threat and act without sending them warning.

Those this mean any offense at all

I personally stopped using this product.

Them and who is boycotting it...they should go and sit down. Is this the problem we are facing in the country that they have refuse to stand for the truth. Misplaced priority.

U don’t make fun with anything, if they really did this, they really deserve boycotting

CAN BANNING CAN MILK

I might need someone to explain a bit cus I don’t get it

CAN sha, that's how they were supporting a bad market for PRESIDENT too. What do they intend to gain by this now?

Everybody want to be creative, but there's no creativity in degrading the person of our Lord Jesus Christ with a tin of milk

Seems all the Nigerian companies or companies in Nigeria really went all out to mock Christians this Easter season with their Easter messages/Adverts

And how is this ad offensive? Is just a bloody ad ffs

It is offensive actually

Last year it was Sterling_Bankng , this year it is peak milk. Hmmmm

Rule no 1 In Nigerian PR market don't run any stunt with any Religion. You will tumble before your eyes.

danomilk_ng has been my brand of choice

If JesusChrist can be likened to PeakMilk, and the whole World irrespective of tribes, culture, race, language, etc. drinks Peak - it connotes the scripture which says desire the Sincere Milk - which is the Word of God. GodOverEverything

How is this offensive?

Na una business

Why does Peak always do this crap , is it for clout

This is satanic from the pit of hell. We condemn this.

Abeg abeg abeg

“As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. ‘Good teacher,’ he asked, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ ‘Why do you call me good?’ Jesus answered. ‘No one is good – except God alone. Unambiguous statements from Jesus.

Was he not bruised and pierced for our sins.

_screenshoter

Peak milk have become Christ? This is blasphemy

This CAN always having misplaced priorities

Have you see this?

😂🤣😂🤣

The graphics design was feeling sleek

There is nothing they have not been throwing at our lord since on Friday. Even police arose with Christ yesterday.

They cannot jare. No be today. Make we no dey issue threat we no fit do. Na now you go know say Nigerians no really take religion seriously. If not e reach to stop using peak milk. But what do I know. My brother fit dey work there na and na bread winner
