‘White people gave us Christianity’ – Nedu Wazobia blasts Olympics opening ceremony outrage

Nedu Wazabia, a Nigerian media personality, has criticized the viral outcry surrounding the blasphemous drag queen depiction of the Last Supper at the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony.

Nedu expressed his disgust with Christian’s indignation on Naija 102.7 radio station, questioning the veracity of the outrage.

“The Olympics ceremony where they used drag queens for the last supper pictures,. I just went to ask people this question, why are you people complaining?”

He claimed that because Westerners introduced Africans to the Christian faith, their rage at the Olympic board was misplaced.

Nedu stressed, “Is it not these same people who gave you the religion? If they decide to alter it, what is your business? Why are you people angry? It’s annoying me that you people are angry.”

He continued, “Christians have been vexing and it’s then who introduced us to the religion. And this alteration isn’t new; I’ve been seeing it in the past Olympics and laughed. Are you people stupid? For lack of a better word, don’t be angry that I said that. If they decide to paint another picture, they can. It is not Davici who painted the last supper picture?”

His statement comes in response to the outcry over the display of a blasphemous depiction of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” opening ceremony. The ceremony, which included drag queens, a transgender model, and a performer dressed as the Greek god of wine, has sparked widespread criticism, notably from religious communities.

Christians all throughout the world condemned the sporting body for blasphemy, and the Olympics’ spokesperson, Anne Descamps, apologized for their acts at a news conference.
