A Canada-based Nigerian woman, Prophetess Ezinne Nwanorue, has sparked widespread outrage on social media after publicly celebrating the death of her mother-in-law and declaring that others she described as “witches and wizards” would also die. 
Ezinne made the controversial remarks in a Facebook post on Monday while sharing the funeral poster of her late mother-in-law, Comfort Chika Nwanorue.
In the post, she described the deceased as a “wicked witch” and claimed she was speaking from her position as a prophetess.
She wrote, “One wicked witch is down: my dead mother-in-law, Comfort Chika Nwanorue, rest in pieces in hell with other dead witches; your members will soon join you. I am the weapon fashioned against all the witches and wizards and all the evil people in the world; you all shall go down in my hands. Very wicked beings.
“You people should repent now and accept Christ; if not, you won’t escape the judgment of de@th from my hands, in Jesus’ name. Amen. These people have dealt with me in this life; they found out about my destiny, and they did everything within their power to bring me down, but I thank God for helping me discover who I am and coming through for my destiny; I am now in my season of manifestation, and no one can stop it.
“They will all go down in my hands as God empowers and permits me, in the name of Jesus. Amen. I am talking from the place of my office as a prophetess of God Almighty. Prophetess Ezinne Maryjane Nwanorue.”
The post quickly went viral, attracting mixed reactions from social media users. While a few supporters defended her claims, many others condemned her for celebrating the death of a family member and making statements perceived as threatening.
The latest controversy has once again thrust Ezinne and her family into public attention.
The prophetess and her husband, Franklin Chimaobim Nwanorue, previously made headlines after she reportedly made his relocation to Canada conditional on his publicly taking an oath of fidelity.
According to an earlier report by PUNCH Online, Ezinne instructed her husband to record and publish a video declaring that he would die if he became unfaithful to her after arriving in Canada, saying the directive came from God.
In the now-viral video, Franklin accepted the condition, declaring, “I confess, and I promise that if I come to Canada and cheat on you, let me die in the name of Jesus.”
He also pledged to remain faithful to his wife and to be a good husband and father to their children.
Ezinne later alleged on Facebook that despite taking the public oath, her husband had been involved with another woman, claiming he had “still slept with one of his side chicks” after making the declaration.
Her latest Facebook post celebrating her mother-in-law’s death has further intensified public scrutiny of the family’s ongoing dispute.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Franklin Nwanorue nor any other member of the Nwanorue family had publicly responded to Ezinne’s latest remarks.
