- Evangelist Ebuka Obi ignited a firestorm of reactions with his bold stance on a man’s priorities in gift-giving.
- With unwavering confidence, Obi presented a challenging dilemma between two foundational figures in a man’s life: his mother and his wife.
- Obi made his views clear on which of these women deserves the honor of receiving a car first, sparking intense debates and fueling a heated conversation on social media.
Evangelist Ebuka Obi, the outspoken General Overseer of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, has thrown fuel onto an already heated debate after declaring it outrightly wrong for any man to buy his wife a car before securing one for his mother.
In a viral video from his recent ministration, Evangelist Obi’s words were strikingly direct, labeling any man who prioritizes his wife over his mother in such a way as a “fool at 40′, sending shockwaves through his congregation and netizens alike.
Obi urged men to reflect on the lifelong sacrifices of their mothers, women who nurtured and raised them through hardship and triumph.
He questioned the judgment of any man who, despite knowing his mother’s sacrifices, chooses to place his wife first in such a grand gesture.
The cleric argued that a mother’s sacrifices are unparalleled, selfless, and often go unthanked, whereas a wife, though significant, is someone he met later in life. To him, a mother’s love transcends all, a constant even before a man meets his life partner.

Supporters of Obi’s stance championed the idea of honoring the foundational bond with one’s mother above all, while others defended the bond of marriage as an essential partnership.
