Media personality, Tolu Oniru, Toolz, has criticized Pastor Faith Oyedepo, the wife of prominent clergyman Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church Worldwide, over her recent testimony about a miscarriage scare.
Pastor Faith caused a stir on social media when she shared the story of how her husband reacted when she thought she was having a miscarriage while pregnant with their first son. She claimed that when she saw blood, she told her husband about it, and he boldly rebuked her and asked to be served his meal, telling her that she could not have a miscarriage. This tweet received backlash from some individuals who felt that the bishop should have been more empathetic and supportive towards his wife, rather than dismissive of her concerns.
OAP Toolz was one of the many people who were displeased with Bishop Oyedepo's reaction to his wife's miscarriage scare. According to Toolz, the logical thing to do when bleeding during pregnancy is to seek medical attention at a hospital, not to cook food for anyone. She expressed her anger that Nigeria has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the world, and someone is suggesting that women ignore bleeding during pregnancy and instead go to the kitchen.
In her words, "Please don't do this. If you're bleeding from a possible miscarriage...go to the hospital. The last thing you should be doing is making food for anyone. I'm so annoyed! Nigeria has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the world, and someone is here saying ignore bleeding during pregnancy and enter the kitchen. 🙄"
The issue of maternal health is a significant concern in Nigeria, where a large percentage of women die from complications related to childbirth and pregnancy. It is important for individuals in positions of influence to be mindful of their words and actions, as they can have a significant impact on the lives of others. p]
