The Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 held on Friday 26 July, 2024 with so many cultures on display; including a beautiful performance from Canadian sonorous singer, Celine Dion.
An event described with so many positive words by different personalities, however, former Minister of Culture and Tourism of Nigeria, Femi Fani-Kayode, has a totally different view of a part of the show.
According to Femi Fani-Kayode:

“This gratutious insult on Christianity at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics is unacceptable. Nothing depicts the moral, religious and social degeneration of the West more than this show of shame. If they had insulted Islam in this way Paris would have rightly been on fire by now. Sadly Christians are far too accommodating and weak and are comfortable with their faith being rubbished at every turn. I would be going too far if I suggested that someone should have dropped a b*mb on them all at this ceremony but the least we can do is to boycott the Olympics and refuse to even watch it on television. As for Western civilisation, it is all over for them. These shameful events in Paris prove that. They shall soon disappear like a puff of smoke and the glory and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ shall fill the world.”
