Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Freeze, a Nigerian radio presenter and TV host, has lashed out at Nigerian pastors over their failed marriages.
He compared them to some regular celebrities who sometimes display unpleasant photos and get criticized always for their strange lifestyle yet still hold on to their marriages.
Freeze asked about the general challenges couples are faced everyday, and said that pastors were expected to be a good definition of a perfect marriage but since some of them have failed should people still seek counsel from them?
Below is the picture he shared and the questions:
Couples above; Charlie Boy and Lady Di, Maheeda and Hubby.
Couples below; Pastor Oyakhilome and former wife, Pastor Okotie and former wife.
Looking at the above couples there are so many things I can deduce.
1. Don’t judge a book by its cover. 2. The least likely to win very often win.
Is it also safe to ask…..
1. Since Maheeda and Charlie Boy succeeded at marriage while these pastors failed, is it better to get counseling from them, rather than the pastors?
2. Is there something they know that the pastors don’t?
3. Do the pastors themselves need to be counseled by the couples on top?
4. Are we getting the whole concept of marriage wrong?
5. Does everyone really have someone made for them?
6. Is cooking as important as one pastor claimed?
7. Did the pastors not hear from God before they married their former spouses, or did they hear wrong? You know ’56’ sounds very much like ’66’ but they are 2 different numbers.
8. Is sexuality more important than we are are made to believe?
9. Should more women try to emulate Lady Di and Maheeda so their marriages can last?
10. Are you in the wrong relationship or marriage?
11. A pastor I know preaches that oral sex is a sin, is this true and could the lack of it, have anything to do with the breakdown of pastoral marriages?
Answer as honestly as your conscience permits you! ~FRZ
