Nowadays it’s a common thing for women to have someone they
call ‘spiritual father’. They always depend on these ‘fathers’ on so many
things like taking major decisions in their lives. And this varies from older
women to undergrads who are now beginning to adopt this life style. These
fathers vary from white garment churches to muslim clerics and also herbalists,
they believe in these fathers so much that they practically live their lives
for them. Some are powerful while some are fakes. In the name of solving their
problems, they extort money from them or take advantage of them sexually. Some
have even ended up becoming wives to these so called ‘spiritual fathers’.
It has also be
observed that a lot of married women consult these spiritualists to seek help
for stability in their marriages,seek for fruit of the womb, promote their
businesses or get more favoured by their husbands most especially the ones that
have more than one wife. The young ladies issues in getting spiritual help so
they can extort more money from their rich married boyfriends,to hook a guy in
a relationship and some that are into business go their so they can become
richer, what is most shocking is that these young ladies are either young grads
or undergrads.
Most of these ladies
get involved in self destruction because what had never been a problem before
they visited the spiritualists now becomes a problem. So many marriages have
crashed because of liaison with spiritualists. Some ladies have been found
attractive by these spiritualists and have been jazzed by them, some have left
their husbands for these men and became second wives. The ones looking for
fruit of the womb have gotten pregnant by these spiritualists, some are aware
these children aren’t for their husbands but still end up giving them to their
husbands and some don’t know because they were hypnotized in this act.
Right now so many
women cannot even utter what have
transpired between them and these spiritualists because they are shameful, and
they are living in shame, because they never believed they would have been
involved in the act. So many marriages have also crashed because of this.
