Nigerian pastor Chukwuemeka Odumeje, also known as ‘Indaboski’, has sparked controversy with a recent warning to Nigerians against recording him in public. In a viral video, the self-proclaimed prophet expressed his displeasure with people who captured his image without permission. He made it clear that he is a prophet, not a celebrity and warned that anyone who disrespects his privacy by taking pictures or videos of him would face serious spiritual consequences.
In his statement, Odumeje declared, “I don’t do social media things,” emphasizing that his status as a prophet should be respected. He threatened to “spiritually destroy” the phones of those who attempted to record him. Odumeje’s comments, delivered in his trademark bold and flamboyant style, have drawn mixed reactions from the public. While some supporters appreciate his stance on maintaining privacy, others view it as an overreach.
The pastor, known for his dramatic style of ministry and frequent media appearances, has previously made headlines for his unorthodox approach to preaching. His latest warning has further fueled debates about the intersection of faith, celebrity, and personal boundaries in the age of social media.
Despite his controversial statements, Odumeje maintains a large following and continues to be a prominent figure in Nigeria’s religious landscape. His warning serves as a reminder of the growing tension between public figures and the invasive nature of modern-day digital culture.
