The pastor wives 3️⃣

Written by Oluchi M. Okike

How can the smallest voice in the room end the loudest war?
While three women battle for power, one quiet usher holds the truth that could tear down everything—and raise something unexpected in its place.

Joy Benson was the kind of woman no one noticed. She moved with the grace of someone used to staying in the background. A soft-spoken usher. A single mother. A face often hidden behind white gloves and church protocol. But on that Tuesday morning, she became the headline.

The Press Conference
The church gates were flooded again, but this time not with fighting wives or chanting members. Joy stood alone, flanked by two women from the legal aid clinic and a file of documents.

No makeup. No drama. Just quiet pain.

She held up a photograph—an old, blurry image of her and Pastor Gideon at a beachside retreat.

She didn’t cry. She didn’t shout. She simply said,
“He promised to protect us. But when I got pregnant, he begged me to keep it secret. Said it would destroy everything. So I did… for eight years.”

In the photograph, a small child could be seen playing in the background. Her daughter.

The media had questions. Too many. But Joy didn’t stay long.
She handed over the DNA report—signed, verified, and stamped.

And just like that, everything changed.

The Silence That Followed
Mama Glo refused to speak to the press.
Chinaza went completely off-grid.
Stella collapsed at a pharmacy later that day and was taken to the hospital.

Inside Fire River Ministries, the congregation began to murmur.
Some felt betrayed. Others confused. But the board had to act quickly.

By the following Sunday, a church bulletin was released:
“Pending further verification, the burial of Pastor Gideon is on hold.”

Chinaza’s Secrets Surface
Just when things seemed to settle, something unexpected broke online.

A clip.
Grainy, uncut, but chilling.

It showed a deliverance session from five years earlier. A private, behind-the-scenes moment somehow leaked to the internet.

In it, Pastor Gideon was praying over a woman possessed by a "marine spirit."
That woman… was Chinaza.

The video showed her writhing, screaming, speaking in a voice not her own.

And at the end, Pastor Gideon whispered something into her ear—words the microphone barely picked up.

But someone enhanced the audio and shared it again.

It sounded like he said:
“Your secrets are safe with me… as long as you stay mine.”

People were stunned.
Was Chinaza delivered—or marked?
Was she a wife—or something darker?

And if so… why would he marry her?

Stella’s Test Results Arrive
Meanwhile, Stella was discharged from the hospital.
Her test results came in.

The truth?

The child in her womb was not Pastor Gideon’s.

The betrayal cut deep. Not just for the church, but for Stella herself.
She had loved him. Or maybe… she had loved the platform.

In an emotional online video, she confessed:
“We were already drifting. I didn’t know I was pregnant until after his death. I thought… I could still belong.”

It went viral.

People wept. People mocked. People debated. But one thing was certain: Stella had nothing to gain anymore.

The Unexpected Shift
Then came the twist no one could have predicted.

Instead of hiding or fighting, Mama Glo did something no one expected.

She went live on Facebook.
She told her story—not with anger, but with grace.

How she met Gideon in the early days, when he was a young boy preaching with cracked lips and torn Bibles.

How she fed him, clothed him, prayed for him.

How she sold her wrappers to help him print flyers.

And how, after all the fame, he stopped calling her “wife” and started calling her “burden.”

But she ended with a smile.

“I don’t need his name to prove my worth. I knew who he was before the world knew. I only came to give him a proper burial. Now… let the truth rest with him.”

That video reached over 2 million views in two days.

And Then Came Joy
As the church leaders deliberated over what to do, the members quietly began to do something else.

They visited Joy.

Bags of food. School supplies. Little envelopes tucked with handwritten prayers.

A hashtag was born:
#WeChooseJoy

And for the first time since the chaos began, the church found unity—not through titles or tradition—but through compassion.

The Board decided to honor Pastor Gideon with a private burial.

No wife would lead.
No cameras.
Just peace.

And standing beside the casket, holding the hand of her daughter, was the woman no one had noticed… but who had always carried the truth.

May his soul rest in peace

How the Poor Homeless Girl He Picked Up from the Street Restored Peace to His Family

Episode 2: “The Secret Daniel Was Hiding”

Amanda had never known peace like this.

It had been three weeks since Daniel rescued her. Every morning, she woke up to sunlight pouring through clean windows, the smell of breakfast floating from the kitchen, and the sound of birds—not screams.

But peace, she soon learned, didn’t mean perfect.

Daniel’s home was big, beautiful, and calm on the outside. But something about it felt... heavy. There were rooms no one entered. People in the house spoke in hushed voices when Daniel wasn’t around. And every night, he disappeared into the study and stayed there for hours, alone.

Amanda didn’t ask questions—not yet. She was just grateful.

One rainy afternoon, Amanda stood by the window, watching raindrops race each other down the glass. She was lost in thought when Daniel’s younger sister, Mira, walked in.

“You really changed things here,” Mira said softly.

Amanda turned. “Me? How?”

Mira smiled sadly. “Before you came, Daniel barely spoke. After our parents died in that accident, he shut everyone out. Especially Desmond. The two of them blamed each other for everything.”

Amanda lowered her eyes. “I didn’t do anything special.”

“You reminded him what it means to care again,” Mira said. “But...” she paused. “There’s something you don’t know.”

Amanda’s chest tightened. “What is it?”

Mira hesitated. Then whispered, “Daniel used to be engaged.”

Amanda blinked. “Used to?”

“She left him. Right before the accident. She said he changed. That he was hiding something.” Mira looked at Amanda carefully. “Be careful. I love my brother, but there’s a side of him he never talks about.”

That night, Amanda couldn’t sleep. Her mind replayed Mira’s words over and over. Daniel had been nothing but kind, but now she noticed things she hadn’t before—the way he flinched at certain sounds, the way he locked his study, the nightmares that made him shout in his sleep.

One evening, Amanda passed by the study and saw the door slightly open. Inside, Daniel sat with a photo in his hand, his back to the door. She almost walked away—but then she heard him whisper a name.

“Sarah... I’m sorry.”

Amanda froze.

She stepped back quietly, her heart racing. That night, she barely slept.

The next morning, she found Daniel in the garden, alone.

“Can I ask you something?” she said gently.

He looked at her. “Of course.”

“Who’s Sarah?”

Silence.

The birds seemed to stop singing.

Daniel looked away. “She was the woman I was going to marry.”

Amanda nodded slowly. “What happened?”

He sighed. “I... I wasn’t the man she thought I was. After our parents died, I made choices. Cold ones. I got involved in things... to protect this house, this family. But it cost me her.”

Amanda stepped closer. “And now?”

He looked at her. “Now I’m trying to fix everything. Starting with you.”

She felt her chest tighten again—but not from fear. From something else. Something deeper.

Amanda didn’t know where this journey was leading. But one thing was clear—Daniel had saved her.

And maybe now... it was her turn to save him.

My girlfriend Olivia chased me out of her house after I told her that I will go ahead and marry Amaka the girl my mom betrothed me to.

I could see the anger on her face. I knew that I disappointed her. The 20million I sent to her which she returned back was nothing compared to the love I have for her.

According to what my mother told me. Amaka's father has already given me time to marry his daughter or else all the assets I had will be seized.

If I didn't marry his daughter, I will end up losing all I have. He gave me the position of an assistant manager to prove to me he can make me the owner only if I married his daughter. The whole situation was complicated.

I went back home that day, sitting on my sofa. I told my mom that I would go ahead with the wedding.

My mother was happy when I told her. "So Amaka has to move in to your room". My mother said to me. I nodded to yes. Amaka oya go and pack your bags from the guest room and move into your husband's room. My mother said to Amaka.

I watched as Amaka packed her bags to my room. Just then I received a call from my best friend Jide. "Howfa bro, how did the conversation with Olivia go"? Jide asked me over the phone.

"I have decided to marry her". I said to Jide. Now you are talking, you are a man. Jide said to me praising me. I decided to marry Amaka. I said to him. Amaka? Jide asked me to be sure he heard what I said right. Yeah. Bro, that's the best decision now. I said to Jide.

After my conversation with Jide, I finally went in to have a shower. I saw Amaka sleeping peacefully on my bed. After having my shower, I came to the bed and laid down. I started remembering all the good times I had with Olivia. How I promised her that I was going to marry her no matter what happened. All the time we spent together. That night all my thought was about Olivia.

Amaka woke up in the middle of the night and saw my head up. Baby ain't you sleeping? Amaka asked me trying to be romantic. I will sleep later. I said to Amaka. I can't sleep if you won't sleep. Amaka said to me trying to be babyish. Come on just sleep. I said.

After much persuasion from her I decided to sleep. The following morning immediately I woke up preparing to dress to work. My mother came into my room.

"Amaka's father would like to see you this evening". My mother said to me. Okay. I replied my mother.

Immediately I finished having my bath, Amaka already arranged some clothes that I will be wearing to work.

I went to work that day, again I didn't concentrate much at work, I kept on thinking if I made the right decision in choosing to marry Amaka. I mean I'm talking about my future here. The manager of the company made matters worst.

Maybe he is angry that I'm his assistant manager, rumor has it in the company that he wants his girlfriend to take that position. Since I was promoted as the assistant manager he has been looking for every slightest opportunity to query me.

Ayochidi your incompetence in this company is becoming out of hand, sometimes I wonder what the MD saw in you to make you my assistant manager. I promise you when I finally get promoted as the MD, You will be the first on my list to be fired. The manager yelled at me after I showed him the work he asked me to help him do, which he was supposed to do by himself. Get out of my sight. The Manager said to me.

I quietly left his office. At the end of the day. I went home and prepared to join my wife to be to go see her father.

When I got home Amaka was already getting ready. I went to the shower to take my bath. Immediately I was done, I dressed in my native wear and off we drove to go see my father in-law and my mother in-law.

When I got to Amaka's parent house they already prepared to receive me. In-law you are already here? Make yourself at home. Amaka's father said to me.

So I'm sure your mother must have told you everything. Amaka's father said to me. Yes sir. I replied. Good; Good, have you officially proposed to my daughter yet? He asked me. No sir. I replied. No problem. We Will have to plan a proposal party. A big one. Amaka's father said to me. Okay sir. I replied.

Then he handed me something in an envelope. What's this sir? I asked Amaka's father. "That's an agreement document in marrying my daughter". Amaka's father said.

What? I asked. Just go through it, before signing it. He said. Just then Amaka's mother called someone.

"Olivia get me the red wine on the bar". Amaka's mother called out. And immediately my girlfriend Olivia came to our table with a red wine.

What was Olivia doing here? I said to myself in shock immediately I saw her.

Amaka just let out an evil smile immediately she saw the shock on my face.

To Be Continued.

Title: Promise 6

"One thing that has really helped me enjoy my marriage is this, I don’t check my husband’s messages. I married a very charming man with a noble job that takes him around the world like a bird. Every single day, he meets beautiful, smart, educated, and hot women.

And yes, I know those young girls who love fine zaddies are not smiling, they will definitely try to get his attention. But honestly, I don’t even act like they exist. I don’t imagine things, I don’t check his phone, I don’t go through his private messages. He’s my man. I’m his wife. And my purpose is simple, to give him peace, that’s my power.”

“CAN TWO PEOPLE BE IN LOVE AND STILL BE INCOMPATIBLE?”

Two people can be madly in love, light up when they see each other, finish each other's sentences, can't seem to stay away from one another, and yet behind the smiles and chemistry, there's tension. Arguments that don’t get resolved. Deep needs that remain unmet, and over time, love alone doesn’t seem to be enough to hold them together.

This is because love is a feeling. It’s powerful, emotional, and sometimes irrational. It's what draws you in, makes your heart race, and convinces you this is the one.

But compatibility? That’s the everyday stuff. It’s how well your values, life goals, communication styles, beliefs, and habits align. It’s what determines whether two people can actually do life together peacefully and productively.

You can love someone deeply and still struggle to communicate effectively with them.

You can feel butterflies and still clash when it comes to handling money, raising kids, spirituality, or dealing with conflict.
Here are Signs of Incompatibility Despite Love
You love spending time together but argue about everything that matters.

Your goals and life visions are constantly pulling you in opposite directions.

You feel unheard, unseen, or unvalued despite the affection.

You're always trying to “fix” or “change” each other instead of accepting one another.

It’s painful. Because it creates a confusing emotional space—“If we love each other this much, shouldn’t it be enough?” But relationships aren't just about feelings; they’re about functioning well together over time.

Many people stay in unhealthy or chaotic relationships simply because they are in love. But love alone won’t resolve deep incompatibilities. It won’t change someone’s core values or lifestyle choices.

This is because love isn't always enough to build a stable, and fulfilling relationship.

So, understanding this truth helps you to make wiser decisions—whether it’s walking away or choosing to work intentionally on your differences. Because in the end, the goal isn’t just to fall in love—it’s to stay in love, grow together, and enjoy peace while doing life side by side.

Today is not about food.
It is about your lifestyle.
What can wreck you and leave you broke for life.

Some of you cannot even afford good food because you are saving money for betting.

Let’s be clear:
Betting is a toxic habit.

It doesn’t just drain your finances.
It wrecks your mind, your peace, your body.

Stress.
Anxiety.
Depression.
Self-hate.
Regret.
Shame.

Before women start feeling like saints, let me say it loud:
Betting is destroying women too.

Betting apps have made it easier for both men and women to dive headfirst into this madness.

Women, be warned.
The emotional trauma can be worse for you.
The shame cuts deeper.
The guilt can be unbearable.

Betting will destroy you.
It is a financial and emotional black hole.
It will suck you in and spit you out broken.

You are not just gambling money.
You are gambling your sanity, your relationships, your dreams, your health, your future.

Do not be fooled by the glamour in their adverts.
Do not be seduced by the thrill of a quick win.

Betting is a demon that will consume you whole.

It is a habit that will cling to your soul like a disease.
And once it takes root, breaking free will be a battle most people never win.

Choose life.
Choose sanity.
Choose freedom.
Choose your future.

Do not gamble with your destiny.

WE HAVE TURNED TO SPIRITUAL MEANS. WE’VE STARTED FROM KOGI AND KWARA - ADEGBENRO OGUNLANA

According to Punch, as insecurity escalates across Nigeria, various forest-based security groups have renewed their call for federal recognition, insisting they can combine traditional spiritual methods with local expertise to combat terrorism. Among them is the Agbekoya Farmers’ Society, whose Secretary-General, Adegbenro Ogunlana, revealed that spiritual interventions have already been deployed in parts of the country, following directives from the Ifa oracle.

He said, "We have turned to spiritual means. We’ve started from Kogi and Kwara."

According to Ogunlana, sacrifices were carried out across Yoruba-speaking regions, including Kogi and Kwara states, to ward off attacks. He claimed some community members aiding terrorists had been apprehended, stressing that the spiritual approach aims to restore peace and combat threats from within.

He lamented the absence of centralized leadership in Yorubaland and expressed concern that state institutions often discourage self-defense, even as terror groups operate using spiritual tools.

Ogunlana emphasized that the intervention became necessary as violent attacks continued to plague Yoruba communities, especially those with significant natural resources.

In response, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, acknowledged the worsening security situation and noted that discussions were ongoing with senior Yoruba leaders. He pointed to intelligence reports indicating that terrorists have infiltrated strategic areas, particularly mineral-rich communities. Adams warned that the infiltration of Ibadan and other cities suggests a deepening crisis, which the political class is largely ignoring.

Meanwhile, the Commander of Patrol and Guards for the Nigeria Forest Security Service (NFSS) in North-Central, Alhaji Muhammad Ahmed, urged President Bola Tinubu to sign a pending bill that would formalize their operations. He disclosed that the NFSS, formerly known as the Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Service, already has Senate and House approval and is only awaiting presidential assent.

Ahmed emphasized that real hunters, distinct from administrative personnel, possess spiritual abilities vital to confronting the nation’s security challenges. He claimed these operatives understand the terrain of the forests where terrorists hide and have encountered them on several occasions.
He expressed strong confidence that once the NFSS is legalized, spiritual forces alongside traditional bushcraft will be strategically deployed to neutralize criminal threats. Ahmed believes this dual approach will drastically reduce violence and restore national security.
