BBC and their crew are something else.
Imagine going to Saudi or Islamic channel or page to say Happy Christmas knowing fully well that your followers are Muslims.. What would be their reactions ?
Some few Igbos that have Muslim friends can facilitate with them on individual basis, but posting on that page will attract backlash while some will leave the page out of anger..

BBC should respect and acknowledge the fact that Igbos are predominantly christians and stop this unnecessary provocation.

Modified.. Seems like BBC has apologized.

There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of Igbo Muslims just as there are confirmed millions of Hausa/Fulani Christians. No Muslim Hausa will take offense if the BBC were to wish the Christians amongst them a merry Christmas.The BBC was merely wishing the Igbo Muslims a happy Ed fitir but the bigots amongst you never failed to disappoint
