Pastor Ibiyeomie's wife explains why she advises against befriending divorced women

By Enitan Abdultawab

Pastor Peace Ibiyeomie, the spouse of Pastor David Ibiyeomie, urged married women to exercise caution when forming close friendships with divorced women who have neither reconciled with their former spouses nor intend to remarry.

She delivered this counsel during a Mother’s Day service at Salvation Ministries in Rivers State, noting that some divorced women publicly criticize marriage while privately maintaining relationships with men.

“Do not follow a divorcee as your friend even if she is your sister. Teach her, either she reconciles with her husband or she remarries,” she said.

Ibiyeomie added that certain single and divorced women publicly dismiss the importance of men yet continue to engage in intimate relationships behind the scenes.

“She will tell you that men are not important but meanwhile she goes behind your back to have affairs with men. I have seen so many examples of single ladies.

Some of them told me the truth that it is a lie, that even as they are in church, they follow men. One opened up so much to me, that is why she wants to remarry,” she said.

She questioned why some women persist in condemning marriage while simultaneously maintaining romantic liaisons.

“They keep saying the man is not important. If he is not important, why are you sleeping with him? So stay on your own if you say a man is not important,” she said.

The pastor also warned that bitterness stemming from failed marriages should not be projected onto others.

“That your marriage is broken does not mean you should break another person’s marriage.

Therefore, the company you keep will either keep you up or pull you down. Leave a meaningful legacy that you will be remembered for,” she added.
