A Canada-based Nigerian prophetess who previously went viral for making her husband swear a public death oath has sparked fresh outrage by celebrating the death of her mother-in-law on Facebook. Prophetess Ezinne Nwanorue shared a funeral poster of Comfort Chika Nwanorue along with a provocative message that has drawn widespread condemnation.
Background of the Death Oath Video
Ezinne Nwanorue and her husband Franklin Chimaobim Nwanorue became a national talking point after she required him to swear a public death oath as a condition for relocating to Canada. In the viral video, Franklin declared on camera: "I confess, and I promise that if I come to Canada and cheat on you, let me die in the name of Jesus." He also pledged to remain faithful and be a good husband and father to their children.
Allegations of Infidelity After the Oath
Despite the dramatic oath, Ezinne later alleged on Facebook that Franklin had been unfaithful. She claimed he had been involved with another woman despite the public declaration, indicating the oath had little effect on his behavior.
Celebrating the Mother-in-Law's Death
On Monday, Ezinne posted the funeral poster of her late mother-in-law, Comfort Chika Nwanorue, on Facebook. Her accompanying message read: "One wicked witch is down: my dead mother-in-law, Comfort Chika Nwanorue, rest in pieces in hell with other dead witches. Your members will soon join you." She further described herself as "the weapon fashioned against all the witches and wizards and all the evil people in the world" and claimed that the deceased and her associates had spent years trying to destroy her destiny. She signed off with her title as a prophetess of God Almighty, stating that she was now in her season of manifestation.
Public Backlash and Lack of Response
The post attracted widespread criticism online, with many Nigerians condemning her for publicly celebrating a family member's death, regardless of any grievances. Neither Franklin nor other members of the Nwanorue family had publicly responded to the post at the time of writing.
