Addressing men who maintain relationships outside their marriages, the pastor questioned why some husbands expect their wives to remain faithful while allowing themselves relationships with other women.
She reportedly said: “If you are keeping girlfriends but your wife cannot keep a boyfriend, you are a hypocrite.”
Omakwu reinforced her position with the expression, “What is good for the goose is good for the gander,” arguing that neither spouse should be permitted to engage in conduct that would be unacceptable if the other partner did the same.
She also commented on the differences in how men and women respond to marital unfaithfulness. According to her, women are generally more willing to forgive unfaithful husbands, while men often find it difficult to forgive wives who commit adultery.
The pastor further emphasized that marriage involves a conscious decision to remain committed to one person, regardless of the difficulties that may arise.
“When you decide to choose one person to marry, it means I have looked at all the men in the world and all the women and I decided you are the one. So come rain, come shine, we are together,” she said, according to reports quoting the video.
Her remarks were reported by Nigerian news outlets, including The Gazette Nigeria and Linda Ikeji's Blog, following the circulation of the video on social media.
The comments have brought renewed attention to discussions about gender expectations, marital fidelity and equal accountability between husbands and wives.
Omakwu's central message was that faithfulness should be a shared responsibility in marriage, rather than an obligation imposed more strictly on one partner than theother.
