Nigerian, self-proclaimed financial expert GehGeh caused an uproar on social media after depicting himself as Jesus Christ in a crucifixion-like pose.

In the series of pictures he shared across his social media pages, GehGeh wore a crown of thorns with blood-like stains on him as he referred to himself as Nigeria's problems.

The post, which went viral, garnered more than 234,000 views and hundreds of condemnations from Nigerians, especially Christians, as many labeled it blasphemy.

GehGeh later clarified that humans are not God, and urged followers to prioritize good hearts over religious conflicts.

Following the backlash, GehGeh, in a tweet, wrote: "No let anybody deceive you, man no be God and our God is a merciful God. Na una put religion for head God no really send wetin una dey do, just have a Good heart and worship him stop fighting for him."
