Hope Odumeje, Rita Edochie are happy now, Nigerians react to Ada Jesus’s death
Some Nigerians have harsh words for the Onitsha-based cleric, Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje and Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, following the death of Nigerian social media comedienne, Ada Jesus on Wednesday.
Recall that the bedridden Ada Jesus finally gave up the ghost at the hospital where she was being treated for kidney-related ailment in Abuja on Wednesday.
When her sickness got worse, she created a viral video where she pleaded passionately for forgiveness from people she might have wronged, including Prophet Odumeje and Rita Edochie.
Before then, she had accused Prophet Odumeje of conniving with actress Rita Edochie and others to stage miracles.
When her sickness got significantly worse, her family took her to Prophet Odumeje’s church to physically plead for forgiveness from him and Rita Edochie.
Following severe backlash from members of the public, Rita Edochie later announced she had forgiven her.
The late comedienne’s father also enlisted the support of the traditional ruler of Odumeje’s village to beg him to forgive her. The cleric at that point announced he had forgiven her and donated N1 million towards her treatment.
When the news of Ada Jesus’ death hit Twitter on Wednesday, many users angrily tongue-lashed both Prophet Odumeje and Rita Edochie for putting the late comedienne through so much ridicule in her vulnerable state that she deserved pity.
@Deaconmegoro tweeted: “ If it’s true that Ada Jesus is dead, then I hope Odumeje, Rita Edochie and Desmond Elliot are finally happy.”
@Mo4tea: “If you ever refer to Odumeje as a man of God, may thunder strike you dead. How he took an egoistic responsibility of inflicting Ada Jesus with a disease, distracting the family from seeking early medical care.”
@Menzem2: “Odumeje and Rita Edochie oya go and feast on Ada Jesus flesh. The antelope you shot at has died.”
@Capable05: “ Police please go and arrest that fake Pastor Odumeje and that actress Rita Edochie for publicity admiring (sic) of being responsible for the ailment that finally killed Ada Jesus. They are both evil.”
@Nasirudeen: “Don’t believe Odumeje and Rita responsible for death of #AdaJesus but they should be legally punish for their comments when the poor girl was seeking forgiveness, come to think of it, if it’s poor witch make such convection (confession) people’s would’ve stone them to death.”
@Odogwuachina: “ Ada Jesus is dead. Odumeje just got another bragging right even when he has nothing to do with it but we all know who he is. We won’t hear word again. His God must be so dangerous.”
@Tundeafodun “ If Ada Jesus is really dead, it is her time. So pastor Odumeje or whatever your name is If the God I worship knows you have a hand in this be ready to suffer in folds.”
@Oluomachii; “The Ada Jesus babe has died from kidney complications. I hope Odumeje and Rita Edochie can continue (hoarding) their forgiveness like palliative.”
@ DoctorEmto: “Ada Jesus is dead? Haaaa, how her family denied her proper medical attention and instead carried her from one place to another in search of miracles baffles me. Someone suffered from a stroke and needed proper medical attention but they had to worsen it.”
@Tomilola204: “Guess you all don’t know what we call spiritual problem, if they deal with someone spiritually they will attach one sickness to it, is Ada Jesus smoking or what cause unplanned kidney problem, all I can say is that there is one secret she knows about Odumeje that we don’t know.”
@Chinemerem: “I think the family of Ada Jesus should take her corpse to Odumeje Church and leave her there for him.”
@Brother_Silverr: “I don’t know if Odumeje’s words of curses killed Ada Jesus but My own is If you love yourself, take good care of your health. Don’t take it for granted. If you really love yourself, reduce the way you insult religious men. You fit go insult the one wey go end you.”
@Newtonikire: “I don’t care if Rita Edochie and Odumeje were responsible for the death of Ada Jesus or not. We should mind our words, for the power of life and death is in the tongue.
“The witch cried last night, the child died this morning”, is an African proverb. God knows best.”
