Jim Iyke Asserts Nigerian Entertainment Industry Promotes Satanism
Veteran Nollywood actor Jim Iyke sparked controversy by stating that the Nigerian entertainment industry is largely designed to promote satanic values. He argued that many industry figures prioritize self‑glorification, behaving as demigods, which he equates with satanic worship.
Iyke emphasized that maintaining a genuine connection with God requires deliberate effort amidst an environment that encourages self‑exaltation. He warned that when individuals elevate themselves to god‑like status, expecting special treatment, they are effectively engaging in self‑worship—a practice he identifies as satanism. The actor urged creatives to recognize that true creativity mirrors God, not self‑aggrandizement, and to seek divine presence even in a sphere he perceives as spiritually barren.
Reflecting on his own career, Iyke recalled moments when fans reacted with awe, making him feel special, but he reminded himself that such feelings are misleading. He concluded that finding one’s place with God reveals what is truly special: the ability to sense God’s presence even where it seems absent.
