Comedian IGoSave Questions Tonto Dikeh's Motives in Viral School Deliverance Incident
Veteran comedian Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke, widely known as IGoSave, has launched a scathing criticism against Nollywood actress and evangelist Tonto Dikeh following the widespread circulation of her controversial school deliverance video. The incident, which occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, has ignited a firestorm of debate across social media platforms and entertainment circles.
The Controversial School Visit and Deliverance Session
During what was described as an evangelism outreach, Tonto Dikeh and her team visited a primary school where she claimed to sense a spirit of death in the environment. This prompted her to conduct a deliverance session with the young pupils, a video of which quickly went viral across multiple social media platforms. The footage shows Dikeh engaging in spiritual activities with the children, particularly focusing on one young schoolgirl.
The video's rapid spread online triggered immediate and widespread criticism from various quarters. Social media commentator VeryDarkMan was among the first to voice concerns, accusing Tonto Dikeh of exploiting vulnerable children for content creation rather than offering genuine spiritual assistance. The criticism gained momentum as more viewers expressed discomfort with the public nature of the spiritual intervention.
IGoSave's Blunt Criticism and Questioning of Priorities
Through his Instagram story, IGoSave delivered a pointed critique of the actress's actions. The Warri-born entertainer questioned why Dikeh chose to focus her spiritual efforts on a young primary school pupil while seemingly ignoring the politicians she associates with who, in his view, are responsible for national poverty and resource mismanagement.
"You leave the plenty politicians piloting this country into poverty and milking our national treasures that are your friends; Na small girl wey dey primary school you see to go deliver!" IGoSave stated in his social media post. He went further to question the authenticity of her spiritual calling, suggesting she might be more interested in attention-seeking behavior than genuine ministry work.
The comedian's most biting criticism came when he directly questioned whether this represented a new approach to generating online content: "Abi na YouTube missionary views hustle you don start so?" This remark has become a central point of discussion in the ongoing controversy, raising questions about the intersection of celebrity, spirituality, and digital content creation.
Widespread Reactions and Concerns for the Child
Social media users have expressed deep concern for the young girl featured prominently in the viral video. Many have questioned the psychological impact of such a public spiritual intervention on a child, with numerous comments focusing on the potential stigma and emotional consequences.
Actress Doris Ogala joined the chorus of criticism, describing Dikeh's actions as blasphemous and questioning whether the actress would allow similar treatment of her own child. Ogala went further to call for official investigation by both the police and NAPTIP (National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons), suggesting the incident might warrant legal scrutiny.
Despite the mounting criticism, Tonto Dikeh has remained defiant. On Saturday, March 7, she shared additional clips from the school outreach on her Instagram account, insisting that she remains focused on her Christian mission rather than public opinion. Her continued posting of related content has only fueled further debate about her motivations and methods.
Public Sentiment and Broader Implications
The incident has sparked broader conversations about celebrity influence, spiritual responsibility, and the ethics of content creation involving minors. Many social media users have expressed discomfort with what they perceive as the performative aspect of the deliverance session, particularly given its recording and distribution across digital platforms.
This controversy emerges against the backdrop of IGoSave's own recent headlines, having reportedly spent over £10,000 on premium champagne during a London night out. The contrast between the comedian's lavish lifestyle and his criticism of Dikeh's spiritual activities has added another layer to the ongoing public discussion.
As the debate continues to unfold online, questions remain about appropriate boundaries for celebrity spiritual activities, particularly when involving children, and the growing trend of religious content creation in the digital age. The incident serves as a case study in how traditional spiritual practices intersect with modern celebrity culture and social media dynamics.
