Daddy Freeze reminds Christians that Christmas is the celebration of Pagan god Nimrod's birthday

CONTROVERSIAL Popular Cool FM disc jockey (DJ) Daddy Freeze has asked Nigerians celebrating Christmas to stop fooling the world into believing that the day represents Jesus Christ’s birthday as it is about the celebration of the Pagan god Nimrod.

Radio show host and presenter Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, has been campaigning relentlessly against the exploitative tendencies of Nigeria's wealthy pastorprueners who fleece off their members, demanding 10% of their earnings. His campaign against these tithes has put him on a collision course with these wealthy clergymen who are not only well connected politically but also have very deep pockets.

Upping the ante, Daddy Freeze added mire fuel to the fire yesterday, reacting to a video where American pastor Brother Benx, disagreed with Christmas and Easter celebration, stating that there was no biblical documentation to back up such dates. Daddy Freeze educated Nigerian Christians that birthdays are pagan rituals under pagan gods and not of Christian origin.

He went further to add that Jesus Christ never celebrated his birthday or any birthday at all. December 25 of the winter solstice, used to be celebrated as Nimrod's birthday before Christianity took over from Paganism as Europe's official religion and proceeded to adopt most of its festivals.

Daddy Freeze wrote on Instagram: “You can’t just conjure up a date and fool the world into believing it’s Christ’s birthday when it’s actually Nimrod’s birthday that coincides with the winter solstice of the druids and pagans. Christ never celebrated his birthday or any birthday at all, so why bring him into your pagan rituals and under your pagan gods?

“At the request of pagan ruler Herod Antipas' step daughter Salome, at his birthday party, John the Baptist was beheaded. Birthdays are of pagan, not Christian in origin, so celebrate your birthdays all you want but just keep Christ out of it."
