A recent video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) features a Catholic priest singing Nigerian artist Ckay’s hit song “Love Nwantiti” from the altar, sparking a flurry of reactions online.
In the viral clip, the priest, while delivering a sermon on how husbands can enhance their romantic gestures towards their wives, began singing the popular track. This unconventional approach was part of his message encouraging men to embrace romance and use love songs to connect with their spouses. The event took place at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Tere-Ama, Port Harcourt.
Reactions to the video have been diverse:
– Actor Yemi Solade commented, “Point on.”
– One user, King_Jozef, humorously speculated, “This priest get babe. Nothing wey anybody fit tell me.”
– Donracy praised the priest’s demeanor, saying, “Reverend Father with steeze, composure, demure and very mindful.”
– Ekene Udemadu appreciated the priest’s positive outlook, stating, “A priest with a positive sense!”
– I Am Ever Chris noted, “He just said the truth, but over-religiousness will not allow some people do this.”
