Media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, also known as Daddy Freeze, has doubted miracles recorded in Nigerian Pentecostal churches.
During a recent episode of the Outside The Box podcast, Daddy Freeze stated that he does not believe in the miracles claimed by Nigerian pastors.
Daddy Freeze argued that the miracles attributed to Jesus in the Bible were verifiable and involved well-known individuals, whereas Nigerian pastors have failed to perform similar miracles on public figures.
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.”
