Netizens React With Mixed Feelings
However, the prayer video did not sit well with some social media users, who questioned her decision to post it publicly.
Femi wrote, “This is disturbing to watch … please add graphic content.”
Another user, Awareness, commented, “At this point she’s just doing content. Must you post it online?”
Dika added, “Nigerian Pentecostal churches are another form of mammon group (anti-Christ).”
Emex said, “Speaking in tongues is outdated. Anyone speaking in tongues is speaking gibberish.”
Somik also questioned the act, writing, “I still don’t understand the concept of setting a camera to pray. Why not pray in secret?”
Despite the backlash, others defended the actress, saying faith expressions differ and should be respected.
