Reno Omokri has reacted to the statement made by Pastor David Ibiyeomie on Sunday about OAP, Daddy Freeze.
During his Sunday sermon, Pastor Ibiyeome verbally attacked Freeze, placing a curse on the day the OAP was born and calling him a “bast*rd” for insulting Oyedepo who he said is his father.
The clergyman went on to question the OAP’s paternity, asking if “they know his father? Does Daddy Freeze have a father? That half caste who is a Somalian.” He said

Pastor Ibiyeome said: “People who have fathers don’t insult fathers. He is insulting him because he has no father. You can never insult a father if you have a father. He has no father.
Reno Omokri reacting to his statement said: “Dear Pastor David Ibiyeomie,
Christ was insulted, but He did not insult back. “When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate”-1 Peter 2:23.
“@DaddyFreeze was wrong to say what he did on Oyedepo. But my Christian brother, you are even more in the wrong to have insulted him. He is no bastard. I know both his mother and father. His father is a Muslim Yoruba businessman that has contributed much to Nigerian society and his mother is the first female vice chancellor of a Nigerian private university, and a Professor of law. By calling him a bastard, you not only insulted him. You insulted his mother. Christ would never have done that! Daddy Freeze is cantankerous. He is sometimes (but not always) a credit to Christianity, but he spoils that by engaging in needless controversy for the sake of notoriety and social media following. Face him and challenge him on that, whether publicity or privately. But it is not right to insult him seeing as Scripture says “a servant of the Lord must not quarrel”-2 Timothy 2:24.
“And a child who does not know his father is not a bastard. There are illegitimate parents. But there are no illegitimate children. God helped me build an orphanage. I did not steal to build it. I did not build it with donation from church members. I built it with my own money. How do you think my children will feel to hear what you said knowing they were abandoned at birth? I am in tears as I write this.”
I have hitherto respected Pastor Ibiyomie but this drinking of panadol for another man’s headache in the name of loyalty is something else. It pains me to see men of God acting the assistant Jesus part that no one assigned them.
