Singer Chike Opens Up About His Spiritual Path, Past Life Moments and Why He Stopped Going to Church

Singer Chike has opened up about a personal moment that shaped his relationship with church and faith. Recalling a period from years ago, he explained that attending a particular church became uncomfortable after he ran into someone from his past.

According to him, “the chick that was leading the praise and worship, we had history. And I couldn’t… I’m like… I was having flashbacks. And she was kabashing, and I’m like… who’s that.” He said the encounter left him feeling out of place, adding that he stayed only a week before leaving. Chike emphasized that his decision wasn’t about rejecting Christianity.

“Not because I don’t believe in God, because I do,” he said. He recalled a moment early in his career when he prayed for guidance while living in Primewater Gardens with his then-girlfriend. “I just said a prayer. I just said, God, I don’t have anybody. I don’t have anything. Just help me.” He also spoke about accidentally consuming a strong edible shortly after releasing his first album.

“Three, four days into the release of my album, I didn’t even know where I was. You know, but that was it.” For Chike, the structure of church simply doesn’t align with his lifestyle. “So I don’t… Church is not for me. There are things that I like, that I would not be able to do,” he explained, adding that what matters most whether in public life or leadership is doing right by others. “You just need to do right. By the people. By the people. By the people. Not necessarily leave a certain… Look, since I’m Christian, not certainly live a Christian life …”

The Federal Government of Nigeria has opened diplomatic talks with the United States following President Donald Trump’s threat of possible military action over alleged killings of Christians. Information Minister Mohammed Idris said communication channels with Washington are active and that the situation is being clarified. He dismissed claims of religious persecution, insisting Nigeria remains a multi-faith nation and that the conflict is not religiously driven. Idris also accused US-based lobby groups linked to a proscribed separatist organisation of spreading misinformation. Trump had ordered the Pentagon to draft an attack plan after warning that Christianity was “facing an existential threat” in Nigeria.

31 U.S. lawmakers praise Trump for reinstating Nigeria as country of particular concern.

Thirty-one members of the united states congress have commended former president donald trump for reinstating nigeria’s designation as a “country of particular concern” (cpc), a status reserved for nations accused of severe violations of religious freedom.

In a joint statement released by Rep. Robert Aderholt, chairman of the house values action team, the lawmakers described trump’s move as a bold and moral step to confront what they called the persecution of christians in nigeria. Aderholt said the decision revived hope among nigeria’s christian communities and reaffirmed america’s commitment to defending global religious liberty.

House majority whip tom emmer hailed trump’s courage, calling him “a leader unafraid to defend people of faith,” while republican chair lisa mcclain condemned the killings in nigeria as “a moral outrage.”

Representatives chris smith, josh brecheen, mary miller, and mark alford urged for stronger u.s. sanctions and action against perpetrators of religious violence. smith, who chairs the house subcommittee on africa, said the move corrected the biden administration’s earlier decision to lift nigeria’s cpc status in 2020.

Trump had announced the reinstatement on his truth social page, warning that christianity faced an “existential threat” in nigeria and vowing that the U.S. would not ignore the killings. rep. riley moore, who raised the issue in congress, praised trump’s “moral clarity and leadership.”

However, nigeria’s government rejected the allegations, saying its conflicts are driven by crime, insurgency, and socio-economic issues — not religion. minister of information mohammed idris said the u.s. report was based on misinformation. President Bola Tinubu also reaffirmed nigeria’s commitment to religious freedom, stressing that the nation’s constitution guarantees equality and peaceful coexistence among all faiths.

Christianity facing existential threat in Nigeria Trump issues another warning.

United States President Donald Donald has issued another warning over what he described as an existential threat against Christianity in Nigeria.

Trump said the US can’t stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, making it a third time the US President made such a threat.

The White House in a post on X on Wednesday shared a video of Trump saying that thousands of Christians were being killed in Nigeria.

The video contained much of his earlier remark about alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.

However, in an accompanying text with the video, Trump said the US stand ready, willing, and able to save “our Great Christian Population around the World!”

“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening there, and in numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian Population around the World!,” the White House wrote on X, quoting Trump.

Trump had earlier designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern, further threatening military action against Nigeria.

The US President cited what he described as ongoing violence against Christians and the failure of the government to protect religious minorities.

However, the Nigerian government strongly denied persecution of any religious group in Nigeria.

President Tinubu replies Donald Trump over Christian Genocide Claims.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has responded to US President Donald Trump, saying that Nigeria does not tolerate religious persecution.

The Nigerian president made the statement in response to Trump’s Friday announcement redesignating Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern.” Trump had claimed that Nigerian Christians were facing an existential threat, pledging that the US would protect them.

“Since 2023, our administration has actively engaged with Christian and Muslim leaders alike and continues to address security challenges affecting citizens across all faiths and regions.

“The characterisation of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality, nor does it take into account the consistent and sincere efforts of our government to safeguard freedom of religion and belief for all Nigerians.

“Religious freedom and tolerance are core tenets of our collective identity and shall always remain so. Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it.

“Our constitution guarantees the protection of citizens of all faiths, and our administration remains committed to working with the United States government and the international community to deepen understanding and cooperation in protecting communities of all religions.”

Stop Spreading Hate — Choose Peace and Understanding

Religion was never meant to divide us.
Islam teaches mercy. Christianity teaches love. Both call for peace, justice, and compassion toward all people.

The world doesn’t need more voices spreading hate in the name of God — it needs people who reflect God’s love, patience, and kindness.

Let’s stop using religion as a weapon.
Let’s build bridges, not walls.
Let’s remember that humanity comes before any label.

Peace starts with how we speak, post, and treat others — even those who don’t share our faith.

"Igbo Traditional Religion is Superior to Christianity" — Filmmaker Tobe Osigwe.

Nigerian filmmaker and practitioner of Igbo traditional spirituality, Tobe Osigwe, has claimed that Odinala the indigenous Igbo religion is superior to Christianity and other organised faiths.

Speaking during an interview on 90MinutesAfrica with Rudolf Okonkwo, the Theatre Arts graduate described Christianity as “a secondary school,” while comparing Odinala to “a university.”

Osigwe, who is also a practising dibia, argued that any Igbo person who seeks deeper spiritual knowledge after practising Christianity would eventually find themselves in traditional religion.

“Anyone who has gone through Christianity and still wants to advance spiritually will discover that the next step is traditional religion. Igbo traditional religion is higher than Christianity and other organised faiths,” he asserted.

He added that many Igbo people remain in Christianity out of fear.
“They are afraid of hellfire. But some of us know that hell doesn’t exist, it’s a myth created to sustain Christianity and keep people from questioning it,” he said.

While urging the Igbo to reconnect with Odinala, Osigwe stressed that such a return must not ignore the importance of education. According to him, meaningful technological progress can only follow when education and tradition go hand in hand.

“The ways of our ancestors are about ethics and values, but science is another matter entirely. Tradition cannot replace science,” he said. “Igbo elites should pursue education that drives technological growth, and then integrate the moral systems of Odinala. The Chinese learned technology from the West but kept their own values. I don’t want to go back to an analogue lifestyle, but to use our traditional ethics to protect and guide modern society.”

I have never tried to convince my wife, who’s a pastor, to convert from Christianity to Islam — President Tinubu discloses as he urges Nigerians to embrace religious tolerance.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Nigerians to embrace peace, love, and tolerance across religious divides, stressing that h+tred should never be an option in the nation’s quest for unity.

Speaking during a condolence message, the President said that the teachings of love and mutual respect should form the foundation of human relationships, regardless of faith or background.

“Hate is not an option for us; love is what we preach that we should love one another. Nobody can deter what God has ordained. God’s ordained actions and prophecies are what matter,” Tinubu said.

The President, who spoke about his interfaith marriage, explained that he was born into an Islamic family but has never allowed religion to create division in his home. “I inherited Islam from my family and I didn’t change, but my wife is a pastor and she prays for me.

There’s no confl+ct, and I have never at any time tried to convince her to convert to Islam. I believe in freedom of religion because we are praying to the same God. We are answerable to the same Almighty, and our deeds and character will be judged by Him. How we treat our fellow beings is what truly matters,” he said.

Tinubu concluded by offering prayers for the repose of the late Lydia’s soul, asking God to grant her eternal rest and bless all she left behind. “To Almighty God, we pray to accept the soul of Lydia and give all that she left behind blessing and glory. May her soul rest in peace,” he added.
