Why is "I'm a Chosen" trending in Nigeria?

The Nigerian internet space is awash with multiple clips of testimonies from members of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries.

Staunch members of the popular church in Lagos are seen wearing a yellow apron, with "I'm a chosen, who are you? inscribed on it. They seem to declare the words anytime they are in danger.

It is unconfirmed if Victor Adetunji is a member of the church.

A member shared his testimony, narrating how a lion saved him from the kidnappers' den.

According to Punch, the man recounted:

“Something touched my back, lifted me like an aeroplane, and carried me to the expressway. When I landed, I turned to see what had carried me—it was a lion. The lion then raised its paw, pointed me in a direction, and said ‘bye-bye’ as I went.”
