Renowned Nigerian gospel singer and pastor Nathaniel Bassey has issued a strong warning to married men about the dangers of pursuing relationships with much younger women, saying such choices can lead to serious consequences and disruptions in family life.
Bassey shared his message in a sermon that has since gone viral online, emphasising the importance of faithfulness, integrity and responsibility in marriage. His message resonated widely on social media and sparked discussions about marriage, temptation and the values that hold families together.
Speaking directly to men who may be tempted to stray from their marital commitments, Bassey said that chasing after younger women especially outside of marriage is a dangerous path that can bring “destruction” rather than fulfilment.
In his own words, he said:
“Married men chasing young women won’t survive it.”
Bassey’s warning was part of a broader message about the importance of honouring marital vows and being mindful of the long-term impact of decisions made in the moment. He urged men to reflect on the pain, brokenness and instability that can follow when trust is broken in a marriage.
The clip of the sermon quickly gained traction online, with many social media users applauding Bassey’s courage for addressing an uncomfortable topic. Viewers noted that his approach was not rooted in judgment, but in a call to responsibility, maturity and self-control.
Some reactions on social media highlighted personal experiences, with a number of users sharing stories about relationships gone wrong and the consequences of infidelity. Others took the warning as a reminder to uphold respect and commitment in marriage, saying that healthy relationships require loyalty and self-discipline.
Bassey, who is well known for gospel songs such as Imela and Spirit of the Living God, often incorporates messages of wisdom, faith and moral living into his teachings, and this recent warning aligns with his ongoing advocacy for spiritual and ethical growth in personal relationships.
The sermon has expanded conversations around marriage and fidelity in Nigeria, encouraging many to reflect on how personal choices can shape family wellbeing and community values.
