A viral video of popular cleric Evangelist Ebuka Obi has stirred widespread reactions on social media after he shared his views on the difference between investing in men and women.

In the video, the evangelist claimed that men are more likely to remember people who supported them during difficult times, while women often move on after entering new relationships.

Evangelist shares controversial opinion

Speaking in the viral clip, Ebuka Obi said: “Invest in a fellow man there is possibility that he will remember. But when you invest in a woman, when she will remember you is when she’s in need again.

Men hardly forget. One day they will remember that this man helped them when they were in secondary school.

But women, if they meet another relationship, they have moved on. If she even see you in a vehicle, she will do like this (waving).

When a woman move, when a woman meets another man, she forgets everything you have done for her. But a fellow man cannot even forget easily.”

The comments quickly gained attention online, with many users expressing differing opinions on whether the cleric’s statement reflected reality or unfairly generalised women.

Social media users react

The video triggered mixed reactions, with some agreeing with the evangelist’s observations, while others argued that gratitude depends on an individual’s character rather than gender.

Reacting to the video, Ugoo wrote: “We might call this generalisation, but this is commonly true. Do something for a man today, it could be a favour or a gift, instantly, the man feels like he is indebted to you. Everything going on in his head is how he can better repay you, but I can’t say the same for women.”

Chinemeluma commented: “I believe he’s coming from the angle of people investing on their girlfriends, female friends and male friends. Because there’s nothing wrong investing on your daughter or sisters.”

Another user, Eby’s Lady, disagreed with the cleric’s position, writing: “It’s not true man of God. Investing in a woman it’s not only in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. Women don’t forget who invested in their lives no matter where she finds herself period!”

Mazi Okwuoma also challenged the statement, saying: “This isn’t a gender issue, it’s a character issue. There are plenty of ungrateful men who eat your money and act like they don’t know you, and plenty of loyal women. People just need to stop investing in the wrong individuals.”

EM added: “A man will remember who stood by him when he had nothing even 10 years later. Loyalty isn’t forgotten easily.”
