Ghanaian social media personality and actress, Efia Odo, has expressed strong disapproval of the recent Kiki challenge, labeling it as “disgusting” and disrespectful to Christianity.
In a passionate statement shared on her X, Efia Odo did not hold back her feelings about the viral challenge, which she believes has crossed a line by involving elements of Christianity and the church.
“That Kiki challenge is a disgusting challenge. Do all the sexy shit y’all want but leave Christianity and the church out of it. Y’all not afraid of God and will do anything ’cause it’s a trend.”

Efia Odo’s criticism reflects her concern that the challenge, which has seen numerous participants, including celebrities, engaging in provocative behavior, is inappropriate when it touches on religious themes.
She believes that there should be a boundary that respects religious institutions and faith.
The Kiki challenge, initially a dance craze to the song “In My Feelings” by Drake, has evolved into various forms, some of which have included imitations of religious figures and settings. This has sparked controversy and divided opinions on social media.
The Kiki challenge made girls hold Bibles in church attires and then transition into baddies in almost unclad outfits.
Efia Odo’s remarks have added to the ongoing debate about the limits of trends and challenges on social media, especially when they intersect with sensitive topics such as religion.
Her call for respect towards Christianity has resonated with many of her followers, who share her sentiment about the need for boundaries.
As the conversation around the Kiki challenge continues, it remains to be seen whether Efia Odo’s comments will influence others to reconsider their participation in such trends.
Her stance highlights a broader issue of how social media challenges can sometimes blur the lines of respect and propriety in the quest for viral fame.
Netizens have commented on Efia Odo’s post with some condemning her and others agreeing with her statement.
“I really agree with you, at least they should use a dictionary for the trend. Using a Bible doesn’t seem right.”

“I agree, they are holding the Bible from the beginning like they are serious Christians who fear God, meanwhile I’m not sure they even read it. Could be they even bought it just for the trend, sigh.”
Eddie
“I love you more for this. They can’t bring their filth to Church.”
Sir Lomo
“That kiki challenge is very disgusting. Do all your Christian stuff and leave our sexy steeze alone. Y’all not afraid of satan and will do anything because it’s a trend.”
KwesiPino
“Finally, you spoke my mind. It’s really bad. Imagine if it was another religion. We all know what will happen. Christians have been taken for granted dor so long.”

Socialite Reveals Going Back to Christianity
Ghanaian actress and socialite, Efia Odo shared that she experienced a lack of fulfillment when she chose to stop worshipping Christ at one point in her life.
She recalled that her upbringing was deeply rooted in Christianity, and she was raised with values that align with the Christian faith.
The socialite revealed that her desire to seek God independently led her to stop attending church and ultimately cease worshipping Christ.
“I was born in a Christian home, I worshipped Jesus all my life. Yes, at one point I wanted to find God on my own and distanced myself from the church. I felt empty when I stopped worshipping Christ.
“Now I’m back in Christ and no one can convince me otherwise. If you think I’m brainwashed, then so be it, I don’t need to be saved.”

Efia’s statement was in response to a question from a social media follower about her religious beliefs and current faith status.
She also mentioned that she is a member of The Makers House Chapel.
