Popular Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze has weighed in on the ongoing debate about interfaith marriages between Christians and Muslims, arguing that love should take priority over religious differences assigned at birth.
His comments came in response to recent statements by Pastor Iren and media personality Solomon Buchi, who both cautioned against such unions.

The controversy started when Pastor Iren warned Christian women against marrying Muslim men, explaining that while the relationship may seem peaceful initially, conflicts would arise due to fundamental differences in beliefs about Jesus Christ, and would affect worship practices and children's religious upbringing.
Media personality Solomon Buchi also joined the discussion, stating that Christian-Muslim marriages are not part of God’s plan and could leave children spiritually confused.
Daddy Freeze, in a video shared on his Instagram page, dismissed these warnings and criticised pastors for discouraging interfaith unions.
He stated that religion and tribe are identities people inherit at birth without choice, while love is a personal decision that should not be restricted by imposed beliefs.
“Most of the pastors said it’s bad, you are unequally yoked, blah, blah, blah. If you are thinking like this, then you deserve the government you have. Because Nigeria’s two biggest problems are tribalism and religion.”
The broadcaster explained that people defend religions they did not choose, pointing out that faith is largely determined by geography.
He emphasised that while tribe and religion are assigned, love is a matter of choice and should not be sacrificed because of doctrines.
“Love is your choice. Someone loves you, someone has been good to you, and they want to marry you. And then you are relying on a choice they made for you to stand against a choice you can make for yourself. You’re a fool.”

"This is how I lost the love of my life. She's Muslim and I was Christian at the time (not religious anymore) and her excuse at the time was that her family would not approve of us getting married at the time despite both of us being in love with each other. Religion has caused so much danger and damage in Nigeria."

"God bless you daddy freeze. This is what I have been saying. We didn't choose our religion or tribe. We all grow up believing and loving the choices they make for us. And neglecting our own beliefs. What if all we believe in, is a lie?"
