A Nigerian medical doctor, Dr Sina, has publicly reacted to a viral miracle video involving Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, stating that based on medical facts and professional observation, he does not believe the incident qualifies as a genuine miracle.
A video of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome healing some individuals who were reportedly unable to walk had earlier circulated widely across social media platforms, drawing massive attention and stirring intense reactions from believers, critics, and medical professionals alike.
Medical Doctor examines the miracle
In a detailed breakdown shared online, the doctor explained that he carefully reviewed the video multiple times, slowing it down frame by frame and closely examining the body movements of the individuals described as crippled or paralyzed.
According to him, several physical, muscular, and neurological signs typically seen in paralyzed or long-term crippled patients were noticeably absent in the footage.
Dr Sina noted that medically, a non-functional or paralyzed leg often presents with abnormal angles, unusual rotations, muscle stiffness, or visible muscle shrinkage due to prolonged disuse. However, he claimed these important features were not evident in any of the individuals shown in the video.
He also pointed out moments where some individuals appeared to move their legs freely and naturally, including crossing them effortlessly, which he stressed would be extremely difficult or impossible for someone who is truly paralyzed.
Dr Sina speaks on typical relearning to walk after incapacitating conditions
He further argued that even in a hypothetical situation where healing happened instantly, the human brain would still require time to relearn movement, balance, posture, and coordination after a long period of immobility.
In his professional opinion, the immediate jumping, walking, and sudden energetic movements seen in the video did not align with how neurological recovery usually occurs in real medical cases.
While emphasizing that he personally believes in miracles as a Christian, Dr Sina maintained that, strictly from a medical standpoint, the video did not present enough scientific evidence to conclude that a true miracle had taken place.
He encouraged viewers to slow down the footage themselves, observe carefully, and consult trained medical professionals for proper evaluation rather than relying solely on emotional reactions.

“I took a look at this Pastor Chris’ video and as a medic I slowed it down and examined critically.I zoomed into the legs of the so called ” crippled” and here is what I’d say
1 If truly one is crippled , As Medics we know that the particular leg that’s crippled or non functional will assume an angle or rotation , None of the “crippled” had that angle which means most of them had fully functioning leg muscles.
2 If you look well there is a particular woman there that crossed her legs. If you are crippled aka paralyzed you can’t summon muscle power to bring your legs to make that angle
3 I tried to zoom even though I wasnt able to see clearly , usually when one has been crippled for a while there is tendency for the muscle to be asymmetric due to disuse, (except they’ve been having physio) took a look at all of them well, even though difficult i didn’t see physical signs of being crippled.
4 Even if we assume they were crippled for a while. If they miraculously got new nerves and muscles cells.Jumping off the bed, the brain and other organs will still have to remaster movement. Balance and a little stagger.The jump was spontaneous and not looking like a need for remastering.
Were they really crippled from the beginning ?
5 Slow the video and zoom zoom and check the occasional movement of the lower limb muscles of some of them ( show your doctor friends) that shows signs of intact nerve and muscle control
So are they really crippled?PS- crippled will mean paralyzed or Paraplegic ( medical word)
Do miracles exist? As a Christian yes.But is this a miracle? Looking at medical facts evidenced i don’t believe it is a miracle denovo.
You can fact check yourself”
