A self-acclaimed pastor, Prophet Apata Enoch, has sparked reactions on social media after advising people not to marry an “ugly person” while showing off his wife.
Although he did not disclose his church affiliation in the post, checks by our correspondent showed that he regularly addresses a congregation and has repeatedly spoken about his church in previous social media posts.
In a Facebook post shared on Monday, Enoch celebrated his wife’s forthcoming 50th birthday while describing her as beautiful.
He wrote, “5th of August, this my baby will be 50 years on earth, many years, my sweetheart.
I’m 54, my sweetheart 50. Don’t marry an ugly person because of old age. Open your heart and eyes.”
The pastor further claimed that he had once intended to marry another woman but was discouraged by what he described as divine guidance.
He added, “The woman I wanted to marry before, God told me I wouldn’t like her in her old age.
