A woman recently sparked fresh controversy online in response to Pastor Nathaniel Bassey’s prayer condemning infidelity. Instead of supporting the call for marital faithfulness, she reframed the issue as a numbers game, suggesting that monogamy is unrealistic given gender ratios.
Her comment read: “Papa abeg.. pray another thing oo. Our number plenty pass men….. na to dey share man now oo else some people might remain single. Gov should declare it now, two women for one man.”
The remark trivializes both marriage and moral accountability, reducing commitment to a logistical problem rather than a personal and ethical choice. By jokingly proposing state-sanctioned polygamy, it reinforces harmful stereotypes that women must compete for men at all costs. Critics argue that such rhetoric normalizes infidelity, undermines self-worth, and distracts from deeper conversations about respect, values, and healthy relationships.
