BEWARE: Are there religious cults in Nigeria targeting successful people?

If we had a coin for every time someone claimed “God called me,” we’d all be rich by now.
In a country plagued by poverty and hardship, promises of instant miracles and supernatural wealth are a powerful lure. And many so-called prophets and pastors have learned how to use this desperation as a business model.
They assure you that it’s not juju. You’re praying. You’re fasting. You’re doing “the Christian thing.” So it must be right. But what if it’s not?
The truth is, some of these prayer groups are not churches, they’re cults. Dangerous ones at that. Recently, the disappearance of fashion entrepreneur Ejiro sparked nationwide concern. After getting involved with a controversial Instagram prayer group, she reportedly shut down her thriving business, sold all her possessions, and vanished without a trace.
While her story continues to unfold, it raises an urgent question: How do you know when you’re in a religious cult?
A cult is typically a group defined by extreme religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, often centered around a single leader or a distorted version of truth. These groups manipulate, isolate, and emotionally control their members, using fear and guilt as tools of obedience. They look religious. They may quote the Bible. They may even perform miracles. But beneath the surface lies coercion, exploitation, and harm.
