Popular Nigerian cleric Apostle Johnson Suleman and gospel minister Dunsin Oyekan have spoken strongly against malice and silent grudges in relationships, at a time when TV host Frank Edoho is facing a public marital crisis with his estranged wife Sandra.
Frank and Sandra's matter has been trending online after allegations of a secret affair with singer Chike, which many linked to Frank Edoho's statement about keeping malice in his household.
During an old interview with Teju Babyface, Frank Edoho explained that malice was his preferred way of punishing his partner, saying he could stay in the same house with his wife without speaking to her for a long time if she crossed the line.
His words quickly drew attention as many linked the ongoing crisis to this behaviour.
Apostle Johnson Suleman teaches on malice
However, in a video currently trending on social media, Apostle Johnson Suleman told his congregation that men who keep malice are dangerous, stressing that such behaviour can destroy marriages.
He illustrated how a man who blocks and unblocks his partner on social media repeatedly is still better than one who stays silent for days.
The clergyman urged ladies to run away from such partners, as they are worse than herbalists, and are capable of enslaving their wives in the relationship.
“A man that keeps malice is worse than a herbalist. If you get married, it’s trouble. You’ll be in the same house and always be the one saying sorry. That is like slavery.”
Dunsin Oyekan speaks on malice
Another trending clip showed gospel singer Dunsin Oyekan teaching his church that he avoids speaking on issues until he understands God’s perspective.
The soulful singer noted that while people may hear noise and thunder, God’s voice is often quiet, before joking about his own ability to keep malice.
If you wonder why I don’t talk on many issues online, it’s because I want to first understand from God’s perspective before I open mouth and talk… Ah, you don’t know me. I can keep malice.”
Immediately, he mentioned "I can keep malice", the church members who know the story of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host burst into loud cheers and laughter.
Though neither minister mentioned Frank Edoho directly, many worshippers connected their words to Frank's recent statement.
The video has ignited online debates as it continues to trend.
