    Stay away from hungry women – Daddy Freeze tells men

    Controversial media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, has advised his fellow compatriots against getting married or dating a lady earning below them.

    He advised men to do away with women who cannot place them on monthly allowances.

    He urged them not to desist from marrying “hungry” women, saying “enough is enough.”

    Daddy Freeze said men should be bold in demanding from women what they can offer them before deciding to marry.

    Speaking in a recent Instagram live session with fans, Daddy Freeze said: “Stop marrying girls that are hungry. Enough is enough! Before you marry a girl, ask her, ‘What are you going to do for me?’ Start asking. Start being bold. Ask her, ‘How much are you paying me as allowance monthly?’

    “Any woman that cannot give you a monthly allowance is not worth your time. Stop marrying beneath you. Adenuga’s child will marry Dangote’s child. Have you ever seen any Adenuga’s child marry a bricklayer? Do you know who Dangote’s daughter married? She married a former Inspector General of Police’s son. 

    “Then you a whole man you’re going to marry someone that’s earning half of your salary or struggling to earn what you are earning. If you earn N10,000 per month, look for a woman that earns N30,000 per month. And the woman must be beautiful and curvy as well as good in the bedroom. Isn’t that how they rate us?”

    Bambam blasts Daddy Freeze for ridiculing God

    Former BBNaija housemate, Bamike Olawunmi aka Bambam has blasted controversial media personality, Daddy Freeze for allegedly belittling God.

    The mother of two boldly advised Daddy Freeze to embark on a profound soul-searching mission, urging him to confront his Creator and seek answers as to why he was placed on this earth.

    The Nation reported that Daddy Freeze stirred reactions after explaining a number of reasons why he cant worship God, whom he referred to as “god.”

    He boldly stated that he can’t serve a god who couldn’t resurrect Mohbad, a god who allows tithe-paying children to go hungry and destitute, and who can’t halt election rigging.

    However, using biblical parallels, Bambam rebuked Daddy Freeze by describing God as a spirit who needs a physical body, a vessel he can use to carry out his works.

    She stated that most Christians are too focused on their personal problems to work with God only for miracles that the eyes and ears have not seen or heard.

    She highlighted the fact that many people expect God to come down and do their Jobs for them.

    BamBam jogged Daddy Freeze’s memory on how we offered ourselves when we came into this world, to be a vessel that God uses to do his works.

    In her words: “God is a spirit, they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth. He needs a physical body, a willing vessel who will partner with him to execute his perfect will in the earthly realm. It is not his will that any should perish but that all may come to repentance and have everlasting life

    “We speak of God this way because we expect him to come down and do all these things himself, you and I are meant to do ALL these things you’ve listed sir”.

    In Mark 16:17-18, the bible says

    “We are too busy doing our own thing and are not available to work with God to resurrect the dead and perform miracles that eyes have not seen, ears have not heard. Our faith is not even a grain of a mustard seed yet we have very powerful tongues to judge and criticize him”,

    “Let’s quit these tables and start taking responsibility for OUR purpose here in the earth realm. We actually offered ourselves when we came into this world, we have forgotten. Go back to your Maker and ask him why you’re truly here. This will fill that aching void you can’t explain. It’s beyond the life we currently live”.

    I can’t serve a god that couldn’t resurrect MohBad – Daddy Freeze

    Controversial media personality Daddy Freeze has said that he cannot be a servant to a god who cannot resurrect young people like MohBad and singer Osinachi.

    His comment comes days after the General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye narrated a miracle where God changed the weather for his sake in America.

    Pastor Adeboye spoke to his audience about how he was invited to a programme in Colorado, during the winter.

    Because the pastor disliked the cold, he prayed to God to make winter stop for the time he was there and it happened.

    Daddy Freeze slammed the man of God, saying he will not serve a god that can’t save young and promising artists like Mohbad and his servant Osinachi.

    He went on to say that he cannot serve a god who watches his children, who pay tithe, suffer hunger and penury due to the fall of the Naira currency.

    He wrote: “I can NEVER serve a god that stops the snow but cannot resurrect young people like MohBad, or his servants like Osinachi.

    “A god who watches his tithe paying children in hunger and penury yet cannot stop the free falling Naira, despite his son’s declaration in 2016.

    “A god whose angels were watching over polling booths, yet rigging went unabated. I think it has NOW come upon us to change the narrative of what our parents considered to be ‘god*.”

    “It has been proven statistically that your GO’s god is unprofitable, serve such a god at your own risk!.”

    Controversial media personality, Daddy Freeze has issued a stern warning to the upcoming social media critic, VeryDarkMan against stepping on toes in order to avoid being sued.

    During a recent session on the OAP’s podcast, he delved into the niche the VeryDarkMan created for himself by unapologetically calling people out.

    Daddy Freeze recounted how he once followed the same path until he met his Waterloo; got sued and lost the case in court.

    Without mentioning the name of the user, Freeze revealed that the notable social critic would lose his credibility in the blink of an eye if he continued on his path and ended up getting sued.

    He, however, clarified that he is only looking out for VeryDarkMan and his intention is not to drag him or condemn his ways.

    In his words: “I just need him to understand the terrain is getting into and I’ve done this same thing he did. I have been sued before; so you’ve got to be very careful when criticizing people.

    “That’s why I was warning him and he thought I was trolling him. Brother, don’t set yourself up. You have a fan base of people who believe that you are factual. By the time three people arrest you, sue you, win you, and make you apologise, nobody will take you seriously again.”

  • My pastor made me quit church – Daddy Freeze

    My pastor made me quit church – Daddy Freeze

    Controversial media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, has given reasons why he took a leave of absence from church. 

    He said his decision was spurred by his immediate expulsion by a pastor from sitting in the front row and performing due diligence as he always would.   

    This, he said, was because of his divorce saga with former wife. 

    Speaking in the latest episode of the Teju Babyface Deep Dive podcast, Daddy Freeze said shortly after his divorce in 2014, the pastor of the church he was attending asked him to start sitting at the back seat since he is a divorcee.

    The OAP explained that before his divorce, he was a church worker and was very active in the organisation of the church’s programme but he was expelled immediately after his divorce.

    He said he decided to stop going to church instead of “hiding” in the back seat.

    He said he started studying and researching the scriptures on Sundays, which led him to discover that most of the things Nigerian churches preached were “flawed.”

    Daddy Freeze said, “My marriage had always been troubled and in 2014 it came to an end. And I remember I used to do events in my church. The church minister used to pay me then to do events which I celebrated. At least, the pastor was not eating all the money, he was sharing with the people who were working.

    “I was booked for an event that I used to do for the church, and I got a call that I should cancel it because of my divorce or pending divorce drama. And I was like, ‘Because I’m going through a divorce does that remove God from me?’ I questioned that too.

    “Then the pastor came to my house and we had a conversation. He was like, ‘I’m not telling you not to come to the church but when you come to the church, sit at the back.’ And I was like what’s all this? So, that made me sit at home on Sundays. Instead of going to church and hiding, is it not better that I sit at home?

    “So, sitting at home on Sundays now started feeding the holes in my brain.”

    Why my stance on tithe made me poor – Daddy Freeze

    Controversial media personality Ifedayo Olarinde aka Daddy Freeze, has narrated his experience ever since he started speaking against tithe.

    He said at some point, he became scared for his life because of the uproar that challenged his stance on tithe.

    He said he became poor due to the backlash but it wasn’t “spiritual”, emphasising that he is still being blacklisted in the media and entertainment industry.

    He opened up in a recent podcast interview with actress Iyabo Ojo.

    Daddy Freeze said: “When I started going against tithe, there’s no Nigerian pastor that didn’t respond. I just came and read the bible to them: Deuteronomy chapter 14, if you read from verse 22, it said, ‘Eat your tithe by yourself.’ I read it. Verse 26 said, ‘If the place the Lord your God has chosen for you to pay your tithe is too far away, sell the tithe and take the money when you get there use it to buy wine, beer, anything you want and celebrate in the house of the Lord.’

    “I said so our tithe is to buy Hennessy and beers in the house of the Lord? I quoted it as the bible and presented it to them, mention any GO [General Overseer], they all responded. One top GO that I used to look up to said, ‘There’s one fellow on the internet, he said you should not pay your tithe.’ I said wow! Guess what? Their members took the video to them and said, ‘Look at this, they said we should not pay tithe and they’re quoting the bible.’ That was when I realised that church is a business.

    “I was afraid. I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going to become poor. And yes, I became poor but it was not spiritual. They [pastors] locked all my financial streams as in they put calls through. I would have a job coming, I would just go to the job and they would say… Till now, they’re still doing it.”

    Daddy Freeze maintained that “the bible does not support the tithe system that Nigeria runs.”
