“The day my wife cheats, she will definitely die” — Pastor declares
A Nigerian pastor has stirred debate online after making a strong statement about infidelity in marriage, declaring that his wife would not survive the day she cheats on him.
The “man of God,” during a sermon shared widely on social media, said he does not prioritise marrying a virgin but warned that unfaithfulness would carry grave consequences.
Cleric’s Strong Warning on Infidelity
In his words, “If I want to marry, I don’t care if the woman is a virgin or not, besides I don’t pray to marry a virgin,
Whether she’s a virgin or not, it’s nothing to me but the day she will open her legs for another man, she will definitely diéd..
Because cheating on me will reduce my anointing and the heavens won’t be happy with me.
You don’t marry someone and cheat on them, I am not a jealous person but you will leave this world if you cheat on me after marriage”.
The cleric stressed that loyalty in marriage is non-negotiable and insisted that betrayal would not be tolerated under any circumstance.
His comments quickly attracted mixed reactions from members of the public, with many debating the tone and implications of his remarks.
Public Reactions
A social media user identified as Mary wrote: “Cheating is a deal breaker for many people, and that boundary is valid. Marriage is a covenant built on loyalty and trust. If someone knows they can’t stay faithful, it’s better not to commit at all. Faithfulness isn’t control, it’s a choice you make every day.”
Another user, Jah-Bless, shared a similar view, stating: “Honestly, cheating isn’t just a betrayal of trust, it’s a breach of the covenant of marriage.
If someone marries knowing full well that they might cheat, it makes you question why they married in the first place. Loyalty and commitment aren’t optional, they’re the foundation.”
However, Araboriota offered a different perspective, writing: “Loyalty in marriage is important, and it’s valid to feel strongly about cheating. However, saying a partner will die for cheating is extreme and unhealthy.
Marriage should be built on love, trust, and respect not fear or threats. While cheating is hurtful, people handle it differently: some leave, some seek counseling, and some forgive. It’s okay to set boundaries, but a healthy relationship should feel safe, not terrifying.”
