“Don’t sleep with a widow, her late husband’s spirit will come after your income” – Pastor claims
A Nigerian pastor has generated reactions online after making controversial remarks about widows, warning men against having intimate relationships with them.
While addressing his congregation during a church service, the cleric claimed that widows remain spiritually connected to their late husbands, insisting that any man who sleeps with a widow could face spiritual consequences.
According to him, no widow is truly alone because the spirit of her deceased husband is still attached to her.
In his words shared on X (formerly Twitter), he said:
“No matter how nice a widow is, don’t ever sleep with her. There is no single widow on earth because every widow is married to the spirit of her late husband.”
The pastor further alleged that any man who becomes sexually involved with a widow risks having his source of income attacked by the spirit of her late husband.
He advised men to avoid such relationships, claiming there are people who can testify to the consequences of ignoring his warning.
“If you sleep with her, that spirit will come after your source of income. You can go and ask people who have been sleeping with widows,” he added.
His comments have since generated mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians debating his claims, while others strongly disagreed with his remarks about widows.
