Controversial cleric Odumeje has announced that he does not celebrate Christmas in the conventional sense.

Addressing his congregation in festive attire, Odumeje explained that he observes “Chrismarity” instead, a term he believes better reflects the spirit of Christ.

He said that while Christmas feels like merely performing a mass, Chrismarity embodies a more Christlike and joyous celebration.

“I am not celebrating Christmas, but I am celebrating Chrismarity. That is Christly. That is enjoyment. Christmas is like just doing mass. But Chrismarity is everything. It is Christlike. Merry Christmas!” he declared.
