Media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, better known by his stage as Daddy Freeze, has questioned the evidence of miracles at Pentecostal churches in Nigeria.
In a recent Outside The Box podcast, Daddy Freeze declared that he doesn’t think Nigerian pastors’ claims of miracles are real.
Daddy Freeze contended that while Nigerian pastors have failed to work comparable miracles on public persons, the Bible’s account of Jesus’ miracles was verified and featured famous people.
He cited examples of high-profile individuals, such as Dora Akunyili and Mr. Ibu, who were afflicted with serious health issues not healed by Nigerian pastors despite their prayers.
Daddy Freeze said: “I’m sorry but I don’t believe in any of the miracles in any Pentecostal church. I don’t have a problem with the pastors but I don’t believe their miracles.
“My IQ is 156. I will have to be pretty dumb to be able to [believe in miracles in Nigerian churches]. Christ walked into the temple on a Sabbath and there was a man with a withered hand and Christ healed him. Christ raised Lazarus from death.
“He raised the Pharisee’s daughter also from the death. He healed blind Bartimaeus. Everybody knew blind Bartimaeus. The woman with the issue of blood, there were some very prominent people who we all know we healed by Christ.
“But in Nigeria today, there’s nobody… Dora Akunyili was dying of cancer, every Nigerian G.O prayed for her, they couldn’t heal her.
“Mr Ibu was deteriorating to the point they have to amputate him and nobody could heal him. And then he died and nobody could raised him. Don’t tell me you did miracles. I want proofs.”
