The wife of the Ghanaian pastor said: What began as a dream relationship, she said, has gradually turned into a source of deep frustration and unhappiness.
“I have a husband who is a pastor of one of the biggest Pentecostal churches. We dated for two years without sex. But in my head, I felt maybe he wasn’t manly enough, that’s why he made that decision. One day, during one of his visits to my place, I decided to romance him just to see if he was really manly.

Trust me, I liked what I saw. Every woman would have liked it. It was very huge and long. So I said to myself, ‘This man is for me.’ I was so proud of him—because if you are that long and still have self-control, then I must be the luckiest lady who’s going to enjoy everything.”
According to her, problems began immediately after their wedding when her husband rejected a simple request: her desire to take a shower before intimacy.
“So, three years into our dating, we got married. On our wedding night, we didn’t do anything because we were so tired. The next day, we promised ourselves it would happen. After the thanksgiving service, we returned to our hotel and I quickly wanted to take a shower because I was sweaty from all the dancing.
But he told me not to bathe because he likes it ‘dirty’. In my head, I thought, how can someone like it that way? I was sweaty. But after going back and forth, I gave in and let him do what he wanted. Honestly, ever since that moment, I haven’t been happy in my marriage.”
She revealed that her husband has repeatedly insisted that she neither bathe nor shave before sex—a demand that has since become a daily rule in their marriage.
“Would you believe me if I told you I haven’t shaved since we got married? Every morning, he tells me not to shave before he goes to work. And when he wants to have sex, he tells me not to take a bath that entire day. So if he wants it today, it means I can’t bathe all day. It has been extremely frustrating. I don’t know if this is normal. I’ve been treating yeast infections repeatedly, and he doesn’t even care. Whether I have an infection or not, he will still lick it clean before penetrating. Because of how bushy it is, it becomes painful when he tries to do what he wants to do.”
The woman says she now feels emotionally trapped and physically worn out—caught between keeping up appearances as a pastor’s wife and silently suffering behind closed doors.
A funeral ceremony in Aleto, Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State, reportedly turned tragic on Friday after a pastor collapsed and died while delivering a sermon on the certainty of death.
The cleric was identified as Deacon Steve Eyo, the Resident Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Aleto.
He was preaching before more than 300 mourners when he suddenly collapsed as he was concluding his message.
Eyo’s sermon was titled “The Certainty of Death and Hope Beyond.” According to eyewitness accounts cited by multiple local news outlets, he began preaching at about 1:10 p.m., speaking about the inevitability of death and urging those present to live their lives with the awareness that nobody knows when death will come.
In illustrating his message, the pastor reportedly compared life to going to the market, explaining that some people leave early while others remain until later, just as some people die young while others live longer.
About 15 minutes into the sermon, at approximately 1:25 p.m., Eyo reportedly collapsed while rounding off his message.
His sudden fall initially confused some mourners, with eyewitnesses saying some thought the pastor was demonstrating the suddenness of death as part of his sermon. The situation quickly became clear, however, as church ministers, choir members and others rushed to his aid.
People at the scene reportedly prayed for him while individuals with medical knowledge attempted to administer first aid. He was subsequently taken to a nearby medical facility in the same ambulance that had been hired to convey the remains of the deceased person whose burial was taking place.
He was reportedly confirmed dead at the hospital, after which his remains were taken to a mortuary.
The circumstances surrounding Eyo’s death have not been publicly established in the reports reviewed, and no specific medical cause of death was disclosed.
However, the timing of the incident has left mourners and members of the Aleto community deeply shocked because of the subject of his final sermon.
According to eyewitness accounts, Eyo had urged the congregation to “number your days and prepare, for it can happen anytime” shortly before he collapsed.
The incident transformed what had begun as a solemn farewell for one deceased person into another moment of mourning, as attendees were confronted with the sudden death of the minister delivering the funeral sermon.
Nigerian dancer cum entertainer, Iweh Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, has spoken about his ordeal following his release on bail in the United Kingdom.
Naija News recalls that Snaresbrook Crown Court had earlier fixed September 15 for plea and trial preparation in Poco Lee’s sexual offence case.
The case stems from Poco Lee’s visit to the UK in August for the Davido and Friends concert, which was held at the Crystal Palace Bowl in London on August 14.
However, during a video call with social commentator, VeryDarkMan, Poco Lee said his main concern while he was away was the welfare of his associates and the impact of his absence on their business activities.
The dancer maintained that he is innocent of the sexual allegation and his mind is pure.
He said, “I was just being myself. God sees my heart. My only worries were about my people. Jago could not do anything business, and I didn’t want to stress anyone.
“If I was inside there and I did what I was accused of, I would have felt I was paying for my sins, but since I knew I didn’t do what I was accused of, my mind is pure.
“Nobody would have wanted to associate themselves with something like that, but Burna Boy stood by me, Jago and some of my other guys.”
VeryDarkMan, who shared the video call on social media, also praised Nigerian singers, Burna Boy and Rahman Jago for their support.
In the caption accompanying the video, VDM wrote: “I just got off a video call with @rahman_jago_ and @poco_lee. I guess the next narrative will be this is AI. THERE IS A REASON WHY I BRAG WITH INTEGRITY, I AM NOBODY’S mate, WHEN I talk take it to the bank.”
