Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has voiced his outrage over fake miracles displayed on social media, condemning them as a mockery of Christianity. In an Instagram post on September 18, 2024, Ogbonna criticized pastors involved in fraudulent practices, stating, “Fake Miracles Are Mocking Christianity. It’s heartbreaking to see pastors using fake miracles to deceive and exploit vulnerable people.”
He highlighted the damage such actions cause, noting, “These acts stain the true essence of Christianity, turning faith into a spectacle for selfish gain. The consequences? Broken trust, lost lives, and faith manipulated for profit.”
Ogbonna urged those engaging in deception to reconsider their actions, asserting, “Using God’s name for falsehood is a betrayal of the gospel. To the victims, remember your faith is sacred, and true miracles don’t come from deception.”
He also called on the public to be wary of using Christianity for social media content, stating, “Let’s also be cautious not to get carried away by social media trends that disrespect and ridicule our faith. Christianity should never be used as a tool for likes, views, or viral content.”
Ogbonna concluded by calling on the government and religious bodies like the Christian Association of Nigeria to take action against fraudsters, emphasizing, “Christianity is about truth, love, and humility—not fraud, manipulation, or mockery. Let’s stand together to protect the integrity of our faith!”
