Ossai Ovie Success, the Senior Special Adviser to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, has sparked controversy with a social media post condemning a photo shared by Nigerian gospel artiste, Sunday Theophilus, showing him holding his fiancée by her waist.
In his post, Success addressed Theophilus directly, denouncing the act of holding his fiancée’s waist as immoral and against the principles of Christianity. He emphasized that such actions are taboo traditionally and convey immorality to the public.
As a minister of God, Success asserted, Theophilus is transmitting immorality to the world through the photo, suggesting that it equates to engaging in sexual intercourse with the woman. He urged Theophilus to repent for his actions and seek forgiveness from God.
The post has ignited debate on social media platforms, with some supporting Success’s stance on morality, while others criticize it as an intrusion into personal matters.
Neither Theophilus nor his fiancée has responded publicly to Success’s remarks at the time of reporting. However, the controversy highlights the intersection of personal beliefs, public perception, and social media scrutiny in Nigeria’s entertainment and religious spheres.
