Nigerian media personality and social commentator, Daddy Freeze, has advised men to discourage their wives and girlfriends from maintaining close friendships with other men.
He gave the advice while reacting to the reported marriage between Pastor Jimmy Odukoya and Mo Jasmine, who has been described as the clergyman’s female best friend.
The reported marriage has generated widespread reactions on social media, with many expressing surprise over the development.
The conversation gained further attention after an old photograph resurfaced online showing Odukoya serving as a groomsman at Mo Jasmine’s previous wedding.
Reacting in an Instagram video on Wednesday, Daddy Freeze questioned the idea of women having male best friends, citing the clergyman’s reported marriage as an example.
He said:
“It’s okay to have a male bestie, it is okay to have a male bestie, hmmm. Male bestie wey be pastor don marry auntie oo.”
The media personality subsequently urged men to take steps to separate their wives from their male friends, warning that such friendships could eventually develop into romantic relationships.
He added:
“Male bestie na groomsman for their wedding ooo. See, if your wife has a male bestie, drive them now. Start picking your phone and start driving all your wives’ and girlfriends’ male besties. Pastor don marry bestie ooo.
“It’s sweet now because the pastor is fine and the bestie is fine. The day they will collect your own wife, no con cry meet me inside DM oo. I have spoken.”
Daddy Freeze’s comments have added another dimension to the online debate surrounding Odukoya’s reported marriage, particularly the boundaries of close friendships between married people and members of the opposite sex.
