Nigerian pastor, Bolaji Idowu, has spoken on the issues and realities of marriages, weighing in on the topic of infidelity and forgiveness.

The televangelist, while speaking during a Sunday survive explained that while he understand the perspective of forgiveness in cases of infidelity, the wronged partner also has the liberty to walk away.

He noted that most people believe that pastors who preach forgiveness in such situation also advocate for acceptance despite the betrayal.

“The truth is, to cheat in a marriage, always remember that the person has the option to forgive, but forgiveness does not mean they will stay in the marriage. It means that I can also walk away. You must also remember that, because sometimes the way we preach in church is almost as if the lady has no choice than to forgive and stay there. Listen to me, I understand that perspective, but there are other perspectives also open, legally and spiritually, the person you cheated on can move away,” he stated.

The cleric further warned about the dangers and consequences that can come with infidelity

“And I’ve seen people cheat and they came back and gave their wife HIV,” he added.
