Odumeje Says TikTok Can’t Handle His Miracles
Written by MAX FM on November 7, 2024
Popular Nigerian clergyman Odumeje has spoken out about why the video-sharing platform TikTok reportedly blocked him from its site. In a recent sermon to his congregation, the controversial preacher addressed the issue, revealing the reasons behind TikTok’s decision to disconnect him.
Odumeje, known for his unconventional preaching style and widely publicized “dangerous miracles,” has been a polarizing figure in Nigerian media. During his service, he explained that his unique approach to miracles—often involving dramatic displays of faith and intense acts of healing—has led to significant criticism. According to the preacher, these “dangerous” miracles, which include dramatic healing sessions and highly theatrical events, have drawn the ire of certain groups, particularly those who don’t believe in his methods.
Odumeje claimed that these detractors, who oppose his style of ministry, have influenced TikTok’s decision to restrict his presence on the platform. He suggested that they lobbied the platform to ban him, accusing his content of promoting what they considered harmful or misleading practices. The clergyman expressed his belief that his enemies were using social media to target him and block his ability to reach a wider audience.
Despite the setback, Odumeje remained defiant, asserting that his spiritual work would continue regardless of social media restrictions. He emphasized that his ministry had already gained significant recognition and influence, even outside of mainstream social media platforms. According to him, his faith and the miracles he performs are what truly matter, not the platforms he’s able to use.
The incident has sparked debate, with some defending Odumeje’s right to practice and share his beliefs, while others remain critical of his controversial methods.
