Summary
Pastor Daniel Oyewande faced widespread backlash online after a viral video from a romance talk show revealed he had lost emotional and physical attraction to his wife. In the video, he described her as no longer "appealing" and expressed feelings of being "tired" and "fed up."
Pastor Daniel Oyewande has come under fire online following a controversial video in which he openly discussed losing emotional and physical attraction to his wife. Speaking on the romance talk show Love Gist, the pastor revealed feeling “tired,” “fed up,” and no longer finding his wife “appealing” or “attractive.”
He went further to say this led to a lack of intimacy and increased emotional reactivity. He added that he decided to seek guidance from a mentor.
“So I had to go to a mentor to talk to her about it, that I don’t know what is happening, but I’m not… attracted to her as it were,” he explains.
He added that she surprised him after the mentor talked to his wife. She drove him to a hotel under the guise of seeing someone, but instead revealed a romantic setup: “I saw roses on the floor, roses on the bed, and I saw a table set before me.”
The pastor describes having a significant positive change in his feelings following his wife’s gesture.
The video, which has since gone viral with over 2.9 million views, 555 comments, and 3,000 retweets, has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation.
One user, @_folaajibola, reacted,
“Christian ladies need to learn that a man can be anointed yet thoughtless and wicked. Don’t love a man just because he’s anointed; love him because he loves you, and he is kind. Some anointed men will disguise their wickedness as ‘principled’ and are very unteachable.”
Reacting to the video, @Munachim_ _ expressed shock, tweeting, “The mentor apologised on her behalf because you didn’t find her attractive anymore?”
Also, @samoalfred commented, “She didn’t do anything to you, yet she ended up apologising for something she didn’t do, and you accepted it, knowing she was not at fault, without ever looking inward. Congratulations.”
The episode further sparked broader conversations about emotional abuse, accountability in marriage, and the pressures placed on women to maintain peace in relationships, often at the cost of their dignity.
