Nigerian Pastor Renounces Christianity, Converts To Traditional Religion In Official Video

Published

on

The leader and founder of Image of God Evangelical and Prophetic Ministry has publicly renounced Christianity and embraced traditional religion, making the announcement in an official video where he appeared dressed as a traditional priest.

In the video, the pastor openly criticised Christianity as a foreign religion brought to Africa to deceive people, and credited his mentor, Olusegun Olatunji, along with his children, for guiding him through his spiritual transition.

He also introduced himself under a new traditional name, marking his full departure from his former Christian identity.

The announcement quickly spread across social media, drawing a wave of mixed reactions.

While some criticised the decision, with several commenters affirming their continued faith in Christianity, others expressed support for his choice, viewing it as part of a broader pattern of Africans reconnecting with indigenous spiritual traditions.

What exactly influenced his decision remains unclear, though the development adds to a growing number of similar cases across Nigeria in recent times, including a Catholic priest who left the church after 17 years to embrace African traditional religion.
