In a video shared on X by @oluwa_crystal, the preacher said a woman is not supposed to have her own money.
She insisted that even when a woman collects salary, she is supposed to hand it over to her husband to keep.
She noted that it is the husband who would decide if the wife should get some money to spend or not.
Her words:
"You are a salary earning. You earn more than your husband. You earn N100k every month, your husband earns N80k every month, as a virtous wife, all your salary belongs to your husband.
"Your salary account should be your husband's account. Change your salary account to your husband's account. Your husband should be the one receiving your salary. You are your husband's property. It is not 50/50, you give your husband 100% of that money. It is your husband hat will now decide to give you if he will give you.
"Like me, I receive N200k in a month, I don't touch from that money until my husband insists me on touching it. My salary account is my husband's account. Whenever they want to pay me salary, my husband receives it."
However, Raez Jewels, a relationship expert has said the pastor was giving a wrong advice to married women.
She told Legit.ng:
"The pastor is delusional. It’s ok to be obedient to your husband but not foolish and that’s a very wrong thing to say or do."
