Many still believe that the public were merely treated to a drama, the day Jim Iyke was said have fallen to the ground several times at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN). If indeed that was fictitious, a sequel is already trending, with the actor’s stylish marriage proposal to Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buari.
Buari, the fair-skinned screen diva, played up the romantic lines on her tweeter handler, capturing them in a story that makes a good prose:
“What kind of wedding would you like?” he asked, and stole another kiss before she could reply. “…The kind that turns you into my husband.” She touched the firm line of his mouth with her fingers. What kind would you like?” He smiled ruefully, saying: “A fast one.”
Reports on the actor’s visit to the church indicated that he was being delivered of a negative spirit that has prevented him from getting married. A two-minute video on the church’s website shows the actor struggling with several officers of Pastor TB Joshua, the head of the church, as they fought to keep him still. The session, as shown in the video got the thespian sprawling on the floor, after falling several times, and shouting incoherent words.
Notable actor Segun Arinze was among those who felt that the Jim Iyke encounter at SCOAN was a charade. He said: This Jim Iyke’s deliverance video at the Synagogue trending looks too contrived. It’s a big embarrassment. Has anyone ever seen demons come out live and speak? Una fit stand demons? Una carry Nollywood enter Church, abi? How much did he get paid? I’m just wondering…”
Film producer Charles Novia also expressed his reservation. “I just feel that deliverance issues are personal. Not with cameras and klieg lights. De demon na star? All I can say is that ‘whatever floats your boat, brother’. Better send those poor women you have dated to same church for same.”
“I have long trained myself not to be swayed by public opinion. Now, I am ten times stronger in my conviction. To helpers, critics, cynics, sceptics, God is in charge,” replied the actor.
And now goes the undaunted thespian, whose most recent tweet may suggest that indeed, his conviction about the SCOAN deliverance has opened his eyes to the strength of his love for the Ghanaian actress: “For years, she stands in the space beside you in the eye of dark storms. She makes something as unfathomable as love seems easy. She is the one. Heaven testifies,” he wrote.
With unbelief, many still feel that both actors are merely playing a game with the public, with pointers made to Iyke’s current reality show tagged ‘Jim Iyke Unscripted.” The actor and businessman, with a personal thirst for the arts, in a recent interview with The Nation had described his new TV series as a confluence of his life.
But SCOAN may just score a point, and put the criticisms to an end if Iyke finally makes real, his vows to Buari, in spite of odds. What started as a secret relationship between the two has now snowballed into an open affair. Iyke’s most celebrated relationship was with Jamaican Keturah Hamilton, which many thought would end up at the altar after six years of sizzling romance. Buari is known to have a love child for Ghanaian footballer Michael Essien with whom her love story had earlier revolved.
