There have been mixed reactions on social media following the sermon of a Nigerian pastor identified as Kingsley Okonkwo about intimacy between men and woman and how God wants things to be. Nigerian singer, Simi, was not pleased with his view and has since weighed in on the issue. When it comes to sex and relationships, a lot of people in today's society appear to be fighting what is considered the norm which is; men want sex and women, marriage. However, this Nigerian pastor set many people off with his recent preaching about the issue. In the now viral video, he is heard preaching to an all-female congregation about men and the psychology behind their behaviour. According to the pastor, God put a lot of sexual passion in men expecting women to obey God's command by denying men of these pleasures until marriage. That way, both parties end up getting what they want; sex for the man and marriage for the woman. READ ALSO: Personal letter from the Editor-in-Chief of Legit.ng (
