Veteran Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has claimed that the entertainment industry is largely controlled by what he described as “demons” and was created to promote satanic values.
Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Joey Akan, the actor alleged that many people in the industry are driven by self-glorification, elevating themselves to the status of demigods, which he believes reflects the principles of satanism.
Iyke also recalled a period in his career when he believed he was extraordinary because fans often cried or fainted at the sight of him, but said he later realised it was a form of self-idolatry after embracing his faith in God.
He explained that it takes conscious efforts for people in the entertainment industry to be connected to God and not self-worship or any form of satanism.
He said, “There is no bigger enabler than the entertainment industry. This is where demons live. Entertainment is totally created and orchestrated to extol the virtues of Satanism.
“What in the entertainment industry glorifies God except you intentionally or consciously pursue him? Is it the blatant life?
“What do we extol that is godly? I am not saying God doesn’t exist in the entertainment industry, I am saying the entertainment industry is predominantly created for satanism.
“As a creative, to create is to mimic God. But in the entertainment structure many serve self. You can’t serve God and serve self. That is a conflict of interest. Serving self is satanism itself.
“When you extol yourself to god-like status when you think you should be worshipped or the laws should not apply to you anymore, you are literally worshipped.
“I have been there. I have see people cry when I walked into a room and I look at them and I think I am special. No you are not.
‘Once you find your place with God, you will understand what is special. What is special is being able to find God in this place that is devoid of his presence.”
