Nigeria – Controversial comments by Pastor Emmanuel Iren on women’s happiness spark debate

A video with Pastor Emmanuel Iren has gone viral. In it, he claims: “It is also statistically proven that the more men a woman has had, the less satisfied she is with a man.”

This statement sparked a heated debate among Nigerians and elicited mixed reactions.
One user criticized the underlying idea of ​​controlling women’s sexuality, demanding: “Men’s need to control women’s sexuality is something else. Leave women alone. Go talk to your fellow men about sex.”

Another pointed to the lack of evidence for such claims, stating: “When it comes to statistics, it is up to the interviewer or people around to ask the interviewer about the source of such statistics.”

Most of the time people make things up and say it as if there was actually scientific research behind their out-of-the-blue nonsense.”

Some defended the pastor’s position. One comment said, “You don’t have to prove anything to them! Let them keep sleeping around and tell them later.”

Others offered a nuanced view of relationships: “As a woman, you only need one man who can fulfill your needs and desires. You don’t need more than one if you really want to enjoy this life. One person you trust, love and respect is enough. As a man, you just need to be a man to satisfy your woman. Be there!!”

Finally, one user suggested simplicity in the pastor’s message: “I honestly think a pastor should just say that sex before marriage is a sin… simple as that.”

There’s no need to decorate it like a motivational speaker. So what if I rub glue on the tape?”
