OPM Pastor Sparks Reactions Over Offer To Support Any Man Who Marries His Autistic Daughter

He outlined specific requirements for prospective suitors, noting that interested individuals must be young and both physically and mentally fit. In return, the pastor promised a range of benefits, including lifetime financial support, free accommodation for life, joint ownership of a newly built property for the couple, and periodic unannounced welfare checks by OPM representatives.

Chinyere also emphasized that the initiative is aimed at securing a stable and happy future for the young woman. This development comes shortly after a similar widely discussed arrangement in which he facilitated the marriage of a non-verbal autistic man, an event that generated mixed reactions over issues relating to consent, dignity, and ethics. Following the earlier backlash, he reportedly supported the couple with a Lexus vehicle, a plot of land, and an ambassadorial role within the church’s autism and Down syndrome support programme.
