Are there religious cults in Nigeria targeting successful people?

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.
