In the video, Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere explained how he came to adopt Aboy as his son after the child was dumped by a stranger who, to this day, has not been located, identified, or come forward to claim him.

4. "He cannot eat; somebody has to feed him. Somebody has to do basically everything for him."

Mr. Godwin Ogwuche, the head of GoRu Marriage Therapy and Counseling Services, when contacted, spoke about the right and wrong of arranging a marriage for a physically challenged person.

In Aboy's case, Mr. Godwin Ogwuche said:

“From an ethical and psychological standpoint, this is a very sensitive issue. Marriage is supposed to be based on consent, understanding, and personal choice. For someone who depends entirely on a caregiver for daily living, the key question is: Can this person truly understand what marriage means and make that decision independently?"

“In this case, reports show that the man cannot carry out basic activities like eating, bathing, or even communicating effectively without assistance. That raises serious ethical concerns."

“If a person cannot understand the responsibilities of marriage, communicate consent clearly, or function independently to some level, then arranging a marriage for them can cross into control rather than care."

“However, I will also say this: The intention may come from a place of compassion or a desire to give the person companionship. But good intentions alone are not enough. Ethics requires that the person’s dignity, autonomy, and long-term well-being are protected."

“So, ethically, it is only right if there is clear understanding and consent, professional assessment (medical/psychological) to ascertain how fit he is to handle marriage, and no pressure, manipulation, or incentive influencing the decision. Without these, it becomes questionable.”

Also, in another instance, Legit.ng asked if it was right for Aboy to get married despite not being fit to carry out or perform any task on his own.

He shared:

“From a therapeutic and practical point of view, marriage is not just about love; it is about partnership, responsibility, communication, and shared life. If someone cannot perform basic daily tasks or communicate effectively, as reported in this case, then realistically, they may not be fully prepared for the responsibilities of marriage."

“In this situation, the relationship may function more like a caregiver-patient dynamic rather than a typical marital partnership. That does not mean the person does not deserve love or companionship; they absolutely do. But marriage, as a structure, requires a certain level of capacity and understanding to be healthy and sustainable."

“So, professionally speaking, the concern is not whether he deserves marriage, but whether he is mentally, emotionally, and functionally equipped for it, and whether the woman fully understands the responsibility she is stepping into.”

In a similar story, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian lady took to social media to question Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere’s plan to offer money and benefits to a woman who marries his autistic adopted son, Aboy. The lady expressed her opinion on what the pastor should have done for Aboy instead of arranging a marriage.

Lawyer speaks about Aboy Chibuzor’s marriage

Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that a Nigerian lawyer said the marriage between Apostle Chibuzor’s son and a single mother might not be legal.

In a video, the lawyer gave two reasons. First, he said that just having a wedding in church does not make it a real marriage unless the church is officially allowed to perform marriages. Second, he said that a person who cannot understand what they are doing cannot get married legally, and he said the pastor’s son cannot fully understand.
