Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has revisited a distressing chapter, recalling being exploited by six pastors who preyed on his desperation for a miracle in 2013.
In 2013, Jim Iyke made headlines after a video of him utterly losing his cool during an interactions with the late Synagogue Church’s head, Pastor TB Joshua, with whom he sought help for his ailing mother.
The actor, reflecting on the incident during an interview with Teju Babyface, expressed regret for succumbing to desperation and highlighted the financial exploitation he endured from multiple spiritual leaders.
He said, “The only thing they could do was attack my personality, attack my integrity, I’ll never be desperate again in my life.
“Desperation was what took me there, to take my mother there, hoping that a man of God, quote and unquote would heal her.
“She lives here day and night, I still have conversations with her, she’s never left. When I’m done praying with God she is the next person, I know how many times my mum appeared to me in dreams, if she were to live twenty TB Joshuas will not stop her”.
Jim Iyke noted that Prophet TB Joshua was not the only spiritual leader he sought out while discussing his experiences.
He claimed to have approached five or six different men of God, and he didn’t mince words about how they exploited him and stole his money.
The actor added, “It was her time, nobody would have made me enter that space, he wasn’t the only one I went to, I have been to five or six men of God, is it because I don’t want to mention names?? How they drove me the money they took from me.”
