The man, identified by his TikTok handle @saintsteven3, posted a now-viral video that has left many speechless and others in the comment section offering unsolicited spiritual advice.

Inside the Shrine: Man Seen in Ritual Setting

In the emotional clip, the man is seen seated in what many online users described as a “shrine,” surrounded by traditional and spiritual symbols — a clear shift from his Christian background.

According to his confession, he had served God faithfully for over 43 years but still found himself struggling with poverty, hunger, and lack of basic things like a car or a house.

Then he dropped the line that shocked the internet:

“I gave God 43 years of my life and I still dey beg for food, no car, no house. I think it’s time to give satan a chance in my life. I wan check something.”

Omo! That “I wan check something” line hit people differently.

💬 Reactions Trail His Bold Declaration

As expected, netizens did not hold back. While some condemned his decision, others showed empathy for his pain. A few even tried to sway him back to the “right path”:

• @Tè: “And you think Satan will give you something without collecting something back in return?? Please stick with God.”
• @mhiz Sarah: “God never fails. There is something you are not doing right. You can’t be serving God and doing nothing.”
• @Biggest Beko: “Dm me for wirecheck, credit card top-up, DDA wire active too, no log fee needed.” (🚨 Looks like someone missed the point entirely 😂)
• @Mark Roland: “This is not satan. This is ancestral ways. But you must ask your soul first if it aligns.”
• @Onia Naturals: “Wait o, I thought they said where two or three are gathered, God is there? Even in a shrine, God still dey?”

Final Thoughts

While many may not agree with the man’s decision, one thing is clear — there’s a growing frustration in silence among people who feel forgotten in their faith.

Omo, it’s a reminder that spiritual and mental health go hand-in-hand. If you ever feel this low, please talk to someone. Help is out there.

May this man find peace and clarity in whatever path he walks — but may it not cost him more than he’s ready to pay.
