Actor IK Ogbonna calls out pastors using fake miracles to exploit vulnerable people  

Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has taken to his social media account to take a swipe at pastors who use fake miracles to exploit their congregation and vulnerable people.

The fair-skinned thespian who took to his official Instagram page to call out such clerics stated that fake miracles which have become commonplace mock Christianity.

He noted that such acts stain the true essence of Christianity and also turn the faith into a spectacle of selfish gain resulting in broken trust, and faith manipulated for profit.

“Fake Miracles Are Mocking Christianity. It’s heartbreaking to see pastors using fake miracles to deceive and exploit vulnerable people.”

“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,” he added.

The actor addressed the audience, asking people to abstain from utilizing Christian imagery on social media and challenged those who were responsible for these lies to take responsibility for their actions.

“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.

“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.

“I call on the government and religious bodies like the Christian Association of Nigeria to step up, regulate, and hold these bad actors accountable. Christianity is about truth, love, and humility—not fraud, manipulation, or mockery. Let’s stand together to protect the integrity of our faith!” he concluded.
