Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has shared the true story behind him going to Prophet TB Joshua’s church back in 2013.
The outspoken actor in recent interview said he attended the church because his ailing mother needed healing desperately
Hear him: “At that point, If you tell me there will be a cure in hell, I will go. So I went with my security, P.A and my sister. When we got there we were put in a room, but there was constant insistence for us to come down to the church. So I said no, that the arrangement was that you lay your hands on her. So we went into the church and when the whole thing about touching people started, I found it laughable. I remember asking my sisiter: ‘Is this what we came here for? Let’s move mummy out of here and keep looking for medical help’ .Then we were about taking her to South Africa
“Next thing I was touched .I cannot explain what happened to be within that space of time, within that five minutes. They said that I said some stuffs but I found that extremely embarrassing”.
The actor noted that he felt embarrassed and carried the bitterness in his heart for years concerning the issue.
“The reason I felt bitter about it was that at the end of the day, my mum didn’t get healed and I still lost her. So people were saying all kinds of things about my experience .People said I got paid for that charade, for me that is the highest level of insult. It took the birth of my son to let that issue go because I was bitter about it for years”.
