The “Lord’s Chosen” trend continues to dominate social media, with the latest additions being popular figures Veekee James, Tomike Adeoye, and Osas Ighodaro. In a recent skit, the trio hilariously recreated the trend’s signature phrase “I am a Chosen,” leaving many viewers amused.
The skit featured Veekee James, known for her public displays of affection, acting as if she was choking from her husband’s excessive love. Tomike Adeoye, in a playful response, slaps Veekee with a bouquet of flowers, while Osas Ighodaro gives a disapproving look. The scene concludes with Osas repeatedly asking Veekee “Who are you?” to which Veekee responds with the trend’s iconic phrase “I am a Chosen.” Tomike joins in by declaring herself a “Chosen” as well.
However, the trend has also sparked debate. Social media activist Verydarkman has criticized a viral testimony from a Lord’s Chosen church member who claims to have overpowered his kidnappers through divine intervention. VDM has expressed concern over the testimony, calling on the Christian Association of Nigeria to address such claims.
The “Lord’s Chosen” trend, while amusing to many, has raised questions about the appropriate balance between humor and religious sentiment. The trend’s widespread adoption by celebrities suggests its enduring popularity, but its implications for faith and public discourse are still being debated.
