A fresh wave of controversy has hit Nollywood after actress Angela Okorie publicly called out her colleague Ruth Kadiri over a viral statement linking spirituality with artificial intelligence.
The drama began after Ruth Kadiri shared a video on Instagram, claiming she received a revelation that the Holy Spirit could be described as the “first AI.” In her message, she warned that many people are gradually replacing spiritual guidance with artificial intelligence, relying on it for answers instead of prayer.
According to her, this shift could have serious consequences if Christians are not careful.
Her statement quickly gained attention online — but not everyone agreed.
Angela Okorie reacted strongly in the comment section of a blog post, dismissing the claim and questioning its spiritual basis.
“Which Holy Spirit? Go and sit down and shut up your mouth. This nonsense has to stop,” she wrote.
Her response has since fueled heated debates across social media, with many Nigerians divided over the issue.
While some people believe Ruth Kadiri was simply using a metaphor to explain spiritual guidance in modern terms, others feel the comparison between the Holy Spirit and AI is inappropriate and misleading.
On the other hand, some users have supported Angela Okorie’s reaction, insisting that spiritual matters should not be mixed with technology in that way.
The situation has now evolved into a broader conversation about religion, technology, and how modern tools like AI are influencing beliefs and daily life.
