Review on Christimagechurch
Christ Image Church (part of CIBF) is a website that presents itself as a Christian church under the name Christ Image Church Worldwide. It offers standard church content: What We Believe, Sermons & Media, Plan Your Visit, Contact Us, etc. The website lists a phone number +234 703 591 4013, contact email info@cibf.org, and link(s) to Facebook, giving appearance of real organization. The site claims community, faith, fellowship, outreach, worship, sermon archives led by “Pst. Godfrey Omah Eibijay” among its clergy. It promotes values of love, faith, church service, etc., standard for a church website. The site’s design appears functional, and at least some pages (Home, Sermons & Media, Contact Us) are populated.
Despite this, there are signs of inconsistency or incompleteness: some content placeholders (e.g. “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet …”) appear in About Us or About sections, suggesting some parts are not fully edited. Some pages are minimal (e.g. Plan Your Visit has almost nothing besides the title). Also, some content appears duplicated, which suggests possibly templated / generic site building. There is no obvious “donate” or “give” function visible in what I saw, suspicious if this is a church seeking support. No verifiable information about registration / leadership beyond pastor name is found (or at least in the parts I saw).
Given this, the site looks like a legitimate church page or at least pretending to be one, but there are several red flags or reasons to question whether it is entirely authentic, up to full expectations of transparency for religious organizations.
Notable Keypoints to note on christimagechurch
Minimal content on some pages Some pages have very little content (“Plan Your Visit” page is almost empty), which suggests either incomplete work or that they don't want to share certain details.
Website structure with standard church pages Pages such as “What We Believe”, “Sermons & Media”, “Plan Your Visit”, “Contact” are typical for churches. Helps appearance of legitimacy.
“Author: superadmin” default content (“Hello world!” post)** The presence of default WordPress boilerplate (“Hello world!”) shows site may be new or still under development. Churches normally replace default posts early. This is suspicious.
Use of placeholder text (“Lorem ipsum …”) This is a red flag: shows parts may not be fully developed. Could be oversight, but weakens credibility.
Incomplete / Generic Content
The presence of the standard placeholder text (Lorem ipsum) and the default “Hello world!” post indicate that whoever built the site didn’t finish all areas. Either they neglected to replace default content or intentionally left gaps. That raises question: is the site a quickly set up facade more than a fully functioning church resource?
Lack of Leadership Transparency
While the pastor is named (Pst. Godfrey Omah Eibijay), little other leadership or organizational history is given. No mention of physical address of the church premises that worshippers can attend, details of staff, or organizational registration. Churches usually share such information to build trust.
Absence of Donation / Giving Function
If it is a “church”, especially Christian church which relies on congregation giving, one expects clear information on how to join/give/tithe/donate. This site does not show (in the parts I saw) any such mechanism. If donations are solicited elsewhere, not featuring them is concerning for transparency.
Minimal / Empty Pages
Pages like Plan Your Visit have very minimal content. Visitors expecting details such as meeting times, venue address, what to expect will find little. That suggests site is either not finalized or possibly not meant to serve real congregants in a local area.
Possible Use as Front for Donations or Information Harvesting
In some scam websites, church identities are misused to collect donations, personal data, or to create legitimacy for other fraudulent activities. The phone and email may be real or could be fake, but without verifying those, public trust is vulnerable. The incomplete site could be a sign that the site is a low-effort front.
No External Verification or Presence
I did not find credible evidence (in the search I did) of external verification of this specific branch (Christ Image Church, Godfrey Omah Eibijay) beyond the site itself. For example, no independent news sources, reviews, or directories confirming active services, community presence, or members who testify. Churches normally have local presence which is visible outside their domain. Also the CIBF (if stands for something) is referenced by email domain which might be broader, but if that domain is shared with other sub-churches, verification becomes necessary.
“Superadmin” / Default Content Left Live
The fact that site still has default WordPress content (Hello World) suggests that site owners may not prioritize their website being fully representative; could be neglected or built just for appearance. Lack of care could point to deceptive or temporary site rather than serious church outreach.
Given all that, the site could be:
A legitimate church that has not completed building its website, or poorly managed site.
Or a front / partially created site aimed at appearing legitimate but possibly used for questionable purposes (data collection, soliciting donations without accountability, or misrepresentation).
At minimum, the site lacks some of the trust-building transparency one expects from a real church.
