Ogbonna’s message highlighted the manipulation of faith for personal gain by unscrupulous clergymen. He emphasized that such deceit not only tarnishes the reputation of the church but also shatters the trust of believers, leaving many emotionally and spiritually scarred.
“It’s heartbreaking to see pastors using fake miracles to deceive and exploit vulnerable people,” Ogbonna wrote. “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.”
The actor’s strong words were a call to action, urging religious organizations such as the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to take a firmer stance on the issue. He advocated for stricter regulations and accountability measures to ensure that those who misuse their positions as pastors are held responsible for their actions.
Ogbonna also warned the public to be cautious of social media trends that disrespect Christianity by turning the faith into a source of viral content, a phenomenon he believes cheapens the gospel’s message.
“Christianity should never be used as a tool for likes, views, or viral content,” he said. “It’s about truth, love, and humility not fraud, manipulation, or mockery.”
The actor’s message concluded with a powerful reminder that true miracles are rooted in faith and sincerity, not in deception. He urged both the government and religious bodies to act in defense of the faith, ensuring that integrity and truth remain at the core of Christianity.
Ogbonna’s post has sparked discussions across social media, with many echoing his concerns and calling for greater scrutiny of religious leaders who exploit their positions for personal profit. His message resonates with a growing movement within the Nigerian Christian community to restore faith and trust in the church.
