Nigerian media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, has expressed skepticism about the authenticity of miracles performed in Nigerian Pentecostal churches.
These miracles are, according to him, staged and primarily target individuals who are easily deceived.
He argued that while the miracles performed by Jesus in the Bible were verifiable, no Nigerian pastor has ever replicated such miracles on a well-known public figure.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Outside The Box podcast, Daddy Freeze stated, “I’m sorry, but I don’t believe in any of the miracles performed in Pentecostal churches. I have no issue with the pastors themselves, but I simply do not believe in 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.”
