A video showing a pastor performing a healing ritual with gari has sparked reactions online, after he was filmed lifting the food skyward in prayer before feeding it to a sick congregant.
In the clip, the church member was seen sitting quietly on a plastic chair while the pastor stood over him, holding up a small bag of gari tied at the top.
With his arm raised, he prayed fervently, asking God to infuse the gari with a spirit of healing so that the man would be restored to health the moment he ate it. Once the prayer ended, he handed the gari to the sick member, who ate it without hesitation.
The exchange, captured against the backdrop of a rural compound with a motorbike parked nearby, has drawn a mix of reactions from viewers since surfacing online.
Some see it as a genuine act of faith and compassion toward a struggling member of the congregation, while others have questioned the practice, with several commenters expressing skepticism about tying spiritual healing to something as ordinary as gari.
