Famous Nigerian Pastor Ebuka Obi reveals why he is a virgin

The founder of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach (ZPMO) in Nigeria, Ebuka Obi, has disclosed why he is a virgin.

The 44-year-old pastor is known for his controversial teachings about sex. He has notably referred to men putting their genitals in their wives’ mouths or engaging in oral sex as sinful.

During an interview with the BBC Igbo published on BBC Pidgin on Monday, the famous prophet, who has often been accused of arranging miracles, disclosed that he vowed celibacy to God twelve years ago.

Mr Obi, also a singer, said: “I have never dated or slept with a woman before. If any woman claims I’ve been with her, let her come forward and say it. It’s not as though I’m looking for any specific qualities in a woman to marry—if that were the case, there’s no type of woman I haven’t encountered.

“What’s holding me back is that I want to hear from God for direction, and He hasn’t directed me on anything about marriage yet. I’ve prayed tirelessly but haven’t received the slightest sign about who or when to marry.”
