“Why men need side chics” – Preacher reveals, netizens react
Nigerian preacher has mentioned the four important reasons why a man needs a side chick
The pastor explained in an Instagram video that, despite what is commonly believed, men need women by their sides in addition to their marriages.
He disclosed the four key reasons for side chicks’ importance.
The first explanation offered by the pastor was stupidity. He said that having side chicks is the finest way for a man to look dumb.
In response to a question about why guys are still searching for Coke after they have one, he pointed out that Coke in a bottle, can, or plastic is still Coke.
He identified premature death as the second reason why males require a side chick.
According to the preacher, a guy who wishes to pass away too soon must overwork his heart and stuff his body with unnecessary items.
He mentioned shame and embarrassment as additional reasons. A man who enjoys dishonor and shame, according to him, needs a side chick because that’s what he will eventually get.
According to him, a man should only require a side chick if he enjoys difficulty and turmoil.
