Spiritword members have taken followership to a new level as they curse Chef Dammy for accusing their Pastor, Adegoke Jeremiah.
Chef Dammy, a Guinness World Record aspirant had raised the alarm over alleged relentless threats and intimidation from individuals whom she tagged “people of God” and her pastor, Adegoke Jeremiah, a.k.a Billionaire Dollar Prophet.
In a surprise Instagram post on Thursday, the 300-level Mass Communication student of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), said that she had been threatened and bullied, leaving her living in constant fear for her life.
The 24-year-old chef said she had been threatened by her pastor and others she described as ‘people of God’.
Chef Dammy wrote in an Instagram post, “By the time we are done with you, you will not be able to stand on your feet again.” This was from the acclaimed “people of God” among many of the countless insults, curses, threats and bullying she reportedly received.
‘‘I’ve been in constant fear for my life. Myriad times, they’ve tried to destroy me as promised, but with God, I keep moving as if nothing ever happened. Shouldn’t we have gotten over this? I mean, it’s four months already; guess you will not stop until I stop breathing?”
Chef Dammy also recalled a past confrontation with her pastor wherein he challenged her faith and urged her to ‘prepare for war.’
She said, “The first time the man of God tried to challenge my God, he failed, and then he told me to prepare for war; I know about gods, and that is why I chose the undefeatable God. Surely they shall gather, but they that be with me are more than they that be with them
Chef Dammy is now a recipient of curses after her church members cursed her on their WhatsApp group for calling out their Pastor.
A church member of Spiritword global mission made a video recently requesting for evidence of the accusations she made against the man of God.
However, it seems that is not all as other church members of the Spiritword church have expressed their anger in a barrage of curses for the young girl.
They shared several chats and voicenotes insulting the Chef. One of the members, Peniel in the group wrote;
“@ChefDammy
Out of everyone that has left spirit word, you’re the du_lest of all, the stu_idest (if the word exists), the most id@tic one.
After everything the pastor has done for you
He clothed you, he fed you, he gave him fame but this is the stupid thing you want to repay with
I swear you’re m@d, you’re cr@zy, it won’t be well with you, you won’t escape poverty forever
Shebi you still dey trek from admin to your hostel, you go still trek from ado to Oye
F00lish and insolent idi0t
Omo irankiran”
It is currently unclear what seems to be the bone of conflict between the chef and her once-supportive pastor, but Chef Dammy has promised to open the can of worms soon. Recall that her cook-a-thon was aired via the church’s Facebook page.
Meanwhile, she questioned the actions of those who profess to be “people of God” and pondered the conflict between their professed faith and their actions.
Although sketchy, Chef Dammy said the public outcry is just a glimpse of what she must have encountered these past months, as she promised to keep her fans updated.
“Assuming I had died a few days ago, people would’ve understood better what I’ve been facing by the testimony of those around me. But I’ll still try and bind my piece because it is a testimony that others can learn from”, she said.
However, reacting to Chef Dammy’s allegation, Mr Jeremiah, via the church’s Facebook page, noted that the Cook-a-Thon was not Chef Dammy’s Idea alone, that two other people were involved, and that 50 church members approved.
The church also shared a video showing the WhatsApp messages where the idea was conceived and approved on the church’s WhatsApp group.
He also noted that the church hosted the cook-a-thon, which ran for 120 hours.
Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES, the spokesperson of the Church, Paniel Idowu, said that Chef Dammy’s behaviour took a different turn after the cook-a-thon and that she never returned to the church.
She said, “Chef Dammy is making up stories; she left the church after putting up ‘a lot of stunts’’.
Explaining the ‘stunts’ chef Dammy must have pulled, the church spokesperson said, “She started pulling back from the church a week after the church a week after the cook-a-thon ended. She left the church and took her ATM, even though the church took care of the expenses of running the cook-a-Thon; when the money was disbursed, she just left.”
The church’s spokesperson said that before the cook-a-thon, Chef Dammy lived with other congregation members, until her newfound fame.
She said, “Her fans gifted Chef Dammy but never returned to the church, even if the church did not ask for the money. She had already disbursed the money, according to her, but that was not the church’s concern, even if the cook-a-thon was not entirely her idea, as the church bore all the expenses.”
The church emphasised that nobody had been in contact with Chef Dammy since, and they were shocked at her recent posts.
The church also said that Chef Dammy should release evidence where the pastor or any congregation member threatened her.
She also noted that the church’s pastor would only react when Chef Dammy came clean or provided evidence to back her claims.
