Evangelist Ebuka Obi, the spiritual director of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, has ignited a fierce online debate after publicly disclosing a husband's zero sperm count during his Prophetic Moments crusade. The revelation, which occurred on July 21, 2026, has drawn sharp criticism for violating the couple's privacy and humiliating the man before a large congregation.
Public Disclosure at Crusade
During the 67th day of his 100 Days of Prayer for Pregnant and Awaiting Mothers, Ebuka Obi addressed a couple who had been married for 11 years without a child. He told the crowd that the wife was fertile, while the husband had zero sperm count. "You are having zero sperm count, yes sir. Have I talked to two of you before? No sir. Do I know your medical report?" Ebuka Obi said, before turning to the congregation and stating, "If another man near her, she'll be pregnant. You are keeping her for 11 years and you are very busy."
The evangelist also rebuked the husband for initially refusing to attend the crusade, citing work commitments. The man had said he would "be busy for sure," a phrase Ebuka Obi repeated for dramatic effect.
Video Goes Viral
The footage from the nighttime outdoor gathering surfaced online on July 25, 2026, and quickly spread across social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). The clip sparked divided reactions, with many criticizing the preacher for public shaming.
User @Greener_Oba wrote: "This kind thing shouldn't come online. The pastor should know how to handle such matters. My pastor don't allow us even video in prophetic season, talkless of uploading it. You humiliated a grown man on national television — it's not good enough."
Another user, @AdaSammy3, commented: "This couple would have saved their faces if they went to a good hospital for tests. Nigerians and ignorance."
OluTemiye added: "The Holy Spirit is the spirit of wisdom — the other option is to call both of them and tell them privately if true, but 'all their works they do to be seen by men' Math 23:5."
Background and Other Controversies
This is not the first time Ebuka Obi has been at the center of controversy. In related news, Legit.ng reported that Ebuka Obi denied knowing the lady behind a fake N500 million house testimony. Additionally, the preacher recently applauded actress Regina Daniels for her unexpected act of kindness, noting that she visited the Psychiatric Hospital in Anambra State, owned by his church, and assisted in capturing mentally challenged individuals on the roadside.
The incident has reignited debates about the ethics of prophetic ministry and the need for discretion when dealing with sensitive personal matters. Many are calling for religious leaders to respect privacy and avoid public humiliation, even in the context of faith-based interventions.
