Radio star, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze has cried out to Nigerians to hold Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries, Port Harcourt, Rivers State responsible should anything happens to him.
This is coming after, Pastor Ibiyeomie called him a bastard, threatening fire and brimestone for insulting prominent preacher, Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel whom he described as his father.
However, in his reaction, Daddy Freeze stated that; “Even if you have a gun to my head, I’ll still speak the truth. I was devastated by Pastor Ibiyeomie’s video because of the content.”
“I didn’t insult Bishop Oyedepo as Pastor Ibiyeomie claims, but simply drew the religious leader’s attention to a part of the bible.”
“Correcting the scripture is not an insult. Christ was criticized, Peter was criticized, Paul was criticized, even the Pharisees were criticized, so there’s no way you’re going to preach a message from the scriptures that you’ll not get criticisms.”
“I find it very devastating that just to get to me, Pastor Ibieomie will drag the whole Somalia nation. I’m very proud to associate myself with Somalians because they’re a beautiful people. It is hate speech to undermine them with derogatory words, like there’s anything wrong with the Somalians.”
“Pastor Ibiyeomie, I don’t know if you realize that a threat to life is a criminal offence…. If anything happens to me, I hope you know who to hold responsible.”
“You went on again to undermine the noble profession of broadcasting. I’m a proud broadcaster for the last 25 years. I’ve dedicated my life to this beautiful, noble profession…”
“I take my children to the radio station to watch me work with the hopes that one or two will take over the profession. Broadcasting is not something to be ashamed of.”
“I think Ibiyeomie should apologize to every journalist, every broadcaster, for undermining our work.”
“I was called a “half-caste” by the pastor, the word “half-caste” is “racist” and Ibiyeomie shouold apologize to victims of racism.”
“You called me a “bastard”, “You say I’m not my father’s son. I put it to you to prove who my real father is.”
“Are Ibiyeomie’s utterances in “synchrony” and “symphony” with the teachings of Christ.”
