A Nigerian marriage counsellor, Pastor Bisi Adewale has cautioned women against spending extended periods abroad caring for grandchildren, warning that prolonged absence endangers marriages and leaves elderly husbands vulnerable.
Adewale who is the founder of Family Booster Ministry International and the College of Marital Success, issued the warning in a video posted on his Facebook page on Monday.
“Another thing I hate is for a woman to escape to Canada to go and do Omugwo for three years. Very bad. Very, very bad. Now a 75-year-old man is now going all around buying boli, buying groundnut, at his age. It is not good,” Pastor Bisi Adewale
Adewale said he had made a personal pact with his wife that they would always travel together, regardless of where their children lived.
“I told my wife, I said the children may move abroad. They can do everything. If you are going for Omugwo anywhere, we are going together. And I told my children — if your house is small, I have money. I will get a hotel. I will stay nearby,” he said.
