The incredible video of renowned Nollywood actor Jim Iyke being 'delivered' at Synagogue Church for All Nations shocked the world last weekend. The video which has since gone viral, saw the 'bad boy' actor seemingly out of control of himself as one of the 'Wise Men' of controversial prophet TB Joshua prayed for him.The video which has gone viral over the social media networks have also generated a lot of controversy with some notable personalities laughing at the whole incident with scorn.

Iyke, mostly known on and off the screens as a 'bad boy', has insisted afterwards that his 'deliverance' was not faked as some people are suggesting. He even goes ahead to count himself 'lucky' to be among the '1% born-again celebrity Christians' after the incident. Most of the controversy however has to do with the obvious question - "What exactly was Jim Iyke delivered from?"

Obviously the answer cannot be witchcraft because it will be the last thing Jim Iyke will want the world see him being delivered from. The answer to that question may however lie in the past life of the handsome Nigerian. People close to the glamorous actor insist that his character on screen is not that different from the real life that he leads. He has found himself in trouble several times and most of them has to do with assaulting women or duping people under false pretense.

It was widely reported in May 2010 that the budding actor had abandoned his role during a shoot in the city of Benin, Nigeria. He was subsequently arrested and forced to make amends. In 2011, the Police in Abuja, Nigeria had to arrest the actor and force him out of his car because it was tinted. Nigerian lawmakers outlawed the use of tinted-window cars in the country in January 2011. He was arrested in May.

His biggest scandal however was in 2011. Nigerian businesswoman, Habiba Abubakar reported to the Nigerian police that Jim Iyke has defrauded her to the tune of 15 Million Naira under the pretext of giving her 15 percent stake in his entertainment empire Untamed Records Ltd. He however failed to honor his side of the bargain and was eventually arrested and arraigned before a court in the Nigerian capital city of Abuja. He eventually owned up to the charges and apologized to Habiba.

His social life has also not been without controversy. He is reported to have dated several ladies in the Nollywood industry. Surprisingly, the star is still not married. His recent love interest however is Ghana's Nadia Buari. The two have been going out for about six months now.

With all the above challenges, it is just natural that the star did run to TB Joshua for help. :However, the bizarre way that he behaved during the whole exercise has got many people wondering if he was indeed possessed. From the video and the actions, it is obvious that the guy was possessed by a 'very bad' demon.

For those making fun of Iyke, especially Segun Arinze, it is indeed worth pointing out to them that it is very easy to laugh when you are not in the fire. The guy may be free from all his troubles and that is really what matters.

Good luck Jim!
