Nollywood Actress, Georgina Onuoha has alleged that
teachings from Nigerian pastors form part of the reasons for broken marriages
and the use of Kayamata by women in the country.
The actress said this while reacting to a statement by Mike
Bamiloye, advising single women not to be feminist as he preached against it.
According to Bamiloye, “If you are a single sister do not
join the feminist movement, the feminist movement makes you miss the will of
God for your life. If you are married do not join them either if you want to
get the best out if your marriage .
Onuoha , reacting on her Instagram page warn Nigerians to stop listening to such preaching from men of God in Nigeria , revealing that such is the reason why women in Nigeria are seen as commodities, properties and are constantly abused by the society.
Her post read: “I start questioning kind of preaching
pastors put out there on the pulpit that is why we have broken society and
homes.
To hear a man of God reduce feminism all of una dey craze.
It is high time we start reading bible by yourself and stop watching men of God
that are leading so many of us astray
“These are the kind of teachings and preaching from men of
God that are suppose to be spiritual leaders are teaching Nigerians, yet we
wonder why women in Nigeria are seen as commodities, properties and are
constantly abused by the society.
“Yet this same pastor has enjoyed the dividends of feminism
because everyone watched his wife growing up as a part of his ministry.
“I hope someone tells him that his wife being able to have a
voice and be part of his production is the textbook definition of feminism.”
According to her, teachings from pastors have made young
girls and women to use Kayamata, denying them the ability to attain their full
potential.
“It is teaching like this that has dimmed the light of so
many women in Nigeria, because they cling to the words of their pastors while
denying themselves the abilities to attain their full potential.
“It is because of such teachings that our girls and women
have been reduced to Kayamata.”
She stressed that the Bible did not teach against feminism,
adding that many pastors in Nigeria are just taking “advantage of the
scriptures, perverting it to soothe their own fragile masculinity.
“Women should demand what is due you, honor your father and
husband but never let anyone tell you you are not enough not even your pastors.
“Demanding equal pay, same respect, right to lead and be
heard is not a sin,” she added.
