In a video making the rounds online, the cleric expressed his concerns, arguing that some aspects of modern gym culture may be inappropriate for married women, particularly when they involve close physical contact with men who are not their husbands.

While some Nigerians agreed with the pastor, saying married couples should establish personal boundaries that respect their relationship, others argued that gyms are professional fitness environments where trainers are simply doing their jobs and that men and women alike should be free to exercise without suspicion.
