Veteran Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has claimed that the Nigerian entertainment industry is largely built around values that promote satanism.
Naija Brain reports that the actor made the assertion during an interview with media personality Joey Akan, where he spoke about the spiritual challenges within the entertainment industry.
According to Iyke, the industry often encourages self-glorification, with many individuals elevating themselves to the status of demigods instead of acknowledging God. He argued that such behaviour reflects the principles of satanism.
The actor stated that remaining spiritually grounded requires deliberate effort, insisting that entertainers must consciously seek God rather than become consumed by fame, ego and self-worship.
He said, “There is no bigger enabler than the entertainment industry. This is where demons live. Entertainment is totally created and orchestrated to extol the virtues of Satanism.
“What in the entertainment industry glorifies God except you intentionally or consciously pursue him? Is it the blatant life?
“What do we extol that is godly? I am not saying God doesn’t exist in the entertainment industry. I am saying the entertainment industry is predominantly created for satanism.
“As a creative, to create is to mimic God. But in the entertainment structure many serve self. You can’t serve God and serve self. That is a conflict of interest. Serving self is satanism itself.
“When you extol yourself to god-like status, when you think you should be worshipped or the laws should not apply to you anymore, you are literally being worshipped.
“I have been there. I have seen people cry when I walked into a room, and I looked at them and thought I was special. No, you are not.
“Once you find your place with God, you will understand what is special. What is special is being able to find God in this place that is devoid of His presence.”
