Let me now calm down and read.

Now I have read. It might be distasteful to some quite alright. But APCON should pumpi jare. It's not as bad as how I had expected it to be before reading. It's more or less a situation of a missed attempt at being funny rather than it being blasphemous.
I am not a deeply religious person.

But this is definitely blasphemy and an insensitive derogation of the very foundation of the Christian faith. Islam would have spilled blood for this

Christ rose from the dead... Agege bread rises within the oven!

Where is the wrongful comparison?!! Where is the blasphemy?!!

Nigerian government organizations and misplaced priorities!

Even Christ would have laughed it off!
Very well said!

Like I also indicated in my earlier post here, it's just a "metaphor"
or figure of speech. The response of the APCON boss was very embarassing to deep thinkers
like us.

Semi-literacy is a real disease tbh!

There remains a thin line between funny and blasphemous, just because we christians make fun of our religion makes every other person never taking the christian religion serious.

Why are some of you so insensitive? How did this post all of a sudden became about Muslims? Sometimes we blame the actions of others, meanwhile we provoked the reaction from them in the first place

I don't know why you must drag us (Muslims) into this matter. But for what you said you 'believed', it only pointed to the fact that there is sanctity in Islam, we preserve our symbols.

If your predecessors could be so languid that they allowed Jews to crucify their 'god', I would not be taken aback to see you crying without any action if someone slapped your 'belief' in the face.

Must you drag us Provocators

If it were something relating to islam, headslammers upnorth would have burnt up several sterling bank branches.

Christ preaches peace and humidity. Its the only religion that truly preaches peace. This is highly provocative. Abubakar Suleiman, the owner needs to be arrested seriously. The advert couldn't have been published without his approval.

This has no joke or comedy in it. It's a case of poor thinking. How can you compare with risen Agege bread? Where is the connection?

Sterling Bank had it coming. Their adverts were always in bad taste and they took it to the extreme
Imagine Sterling Bank saying Muhammed (SAW) is risen like Agege bread, Sterling Bank branches in the North would have been up in flames.
Abubakar Suleiman the MD of Sterling Bank is a Muslim and that further puts the bank out there as a very foolish organisation run by a religious bigot.

Imagine what? Must you?

He has a right to react if he feel offended by sterling bank arrogance. How does closing his account affect you? If that makes him a fanatic and dumb then you are even dumber for trying to determine how he should react.

Y'all be trying to sound foolishly woke

Learn to respect people's religious beliefs

Another dumb mumu, so he can react and I can't react to him also abi! If you believe he has rights to react what made you think I also don't have rights to also react to his reaction the way I also want. Since na reaction thing.

Thank GOD we are not in the Old Testament, where taking the name of the LORD launches Instant Judgement.

Due to the Merciful nature of JESUS Christ and the Fact that as Christians we don't fight for GOD, people feel free to do anyhow in the name of being Heard.

Papa... you have Said it all.. people joke with almost everything especially here in this part of the world...no respect whatsoever angry

Sterling bank is not serious.

How can you be genuinely asking for your recent mistake and you’re telling anyone who have not sinned before to cast the first stone.

Oga you never ready to ask for forgiveness.

Apcon bill them abeg

But the forgiveness is not yours to offer in the first place, is it Ser?

Honestly the Grammar is not necessary.
APCON is useless and Nigerians for the most part are stupid, taxpayers money is spent on this rubbish and naive gullible people are bringing up irrelevant conjectures.
Would you have the same opinion if a Bakery posted this ?
Read about Charlie Hebdo or other actual cases of humor done in bad taste before flexing irrelevant English and inciting unneeded hate.(FWIW it’s Islamophobia for assuming Islam would spill blood for it)

Mehn we at war with our minds, too many misdirected rage in this country. A flyer you should ordinarily just laugh and forget the bad joke.

We are not Muslims and this does not in any way belittle our King of kings and Lord of lords, the Lord Jesus Christ.
I think the bank just wanted to be hilarious this Easter season other than being provocative.
