Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze, has replied to Nollywood actor, Akah Nnani, after calling for prayers for him and everyone dealing with ‘church hurt’.
Naija News reports that the drama began when the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, urged Nigerians to prioritise work over vigils to improve productivity.
Reacting to the statement, the founder of Celebration Church International, Emmanuel Iren, opposed Peter Obi’s advice, prompting Freeze to criticize the cleric for defending night vigils.
Daddy Freeze said Pator Iren supports the practice of daily vigils because it is his source of income.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, Nnani described Freeze as a lost soul dealing with ‘church hurt.’
The actor also urged Christians to pray for the media personality, stressing that the Holy Spirit instructed him to pray for Freeze.
He said, “This is not a usual video and I believed that I was told to do it and I didn’t want to procrastinate. It happened randomly, I was praying and the holy spirit says pray for Daddy Freeze.
“It came on my radar couple of days ago when he picked on a pastor I love, care about and I know he is a genuine man of God.
“I could have responded out of anger but I decided not to but in my prayer time the holy spirit just told me to pray for him. I believe as Christians if we pray more for people than attack we would see more results.
“So I’m going to call on every Christians to join me as I pray for Daddy Freeze and everyone dealing with church hurt.”
In response, Daddy Freeze stated that Nnani and Iren need more prayer, arguing that Obi’s opinion on vigils is valid.
The media personality also implied that Iren’s defense of night vigils is “self-serving”.
He wrote, “Dear Akah, pray for Iren and for yourself. You need it more. Peter Obi made a valid point about night vigils,” he wrote.
“Iren tried defending his enterprise. All Iren’s boys are now running kata kiti trying to defend the indefensible.”
