In a country gripped by poverty, promises of instant miracles are big business — and many self-proclaimed pastors have turned desperation into profit.
The recent disappearance of fashion entrepreneur Ejiro after joining a viral Instagram prayer group has raised red flags.
She reportedly shut down her business, sold her belongings, and vanished — triggering concerns about cult-like manipulation.
Ejiro’s sister also addressed her mysterious disappearance in an emotional post on Instagram.

What Makes a Religious Cult?
These groups often isolate followers, demand total obedience, and use fear and guilt to control. They may preach Bible truths, but behind the scenes are scam tactics:
-
Cut off from family
-
Forced to quit jobs
-
Sell assets for “kingdom seeds”
-
Blind loyalty to one leader
-
No financial transparency
-
Fear-based teachings
Not every prayer group is a church — some are cults in disguise, powered by control, fear, and false hope.
If it feels off, it probably is. Don’t confuse spiritual hype with truth.
