“I became poor but it was not spiritual. They [pastors] locked all my financial streams as in they put calls through” — Daddy Freeze Accuses Nigerian Pastors of making him

Recounting his encounters, Ifedayo Olarinde popularly known as Daddy Freeze stated that no preachers has attached him based on his idea of tithing and he feels worried for his safety.

The controversial journalist and On Air Personel has claimed that Nigerian pastors has subtly locked all his streams of financial income, all because he spoke up against tithing.

It appears that the journalist had an interview with Iyabo Ojo where he recalled his criticism of tithe and it’s ‘supposed’ benefits. He explained that the backlash has caused him to be blacklisted in the media and entertainment industries.

While narrating his ordeal, the O.A.P narrated that no preacher has counter or attacked him based on what he said and as such he fears his life is in danger.

He said, “When I started going against tithe, there’s no Nigerian pastor that didn’t respond. I just came and read the bible to them: Deuteronomy chapter 14, if you read from verse 22, it said, ‘Eat your tithe by yourself.’ I read it. Verse 26 said, ‘If the place the Lord your God has chosen for you to pay your tithe is too far away, sell the tithe and take the money when you get there use it to buy wine, beer, anything you want and celebrate in the house of the Lord.’

“I said so our tithe is to buy Hennessy and beers in the house of the Lord? I quoted it as the bible and presented it to them, mention any GO [General Overseer], they all responded. One top GO that I used to look up to said, ‘There’s one fellow on the internet, he said you should not pay your tithe.’ I said wow! Guess what? Their members took the video to them and said, ‘Look at this, they said we should not pay tithe and they’re quoting the bible.’ That was when I realised that church is a business.

“I was afraid. I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going to become poor. And yes, I became poor but it was not spiritual. They [pastors] locked all my financial streams as in they put calls through. I would have a job coming, I would just go to the job and they would say… Till now, they’re still doing it.”

It appears that Daddy Freeze’s career may be diminishing but he affirms that it is not spiritual but rather pastors are at the top impeding his success due to what he has said about tithing.
