Ezinne Nwanorue, a Nigerian woman residing in Canada, has captured public attention with a unique stipulation for her husband's visa sponsorship. She requires him to make a public video pledge, swearing never to be unfaithful if he relocates to Canada.

Nwanorue, who identifies as a "prophetic intercessor, certified marriage counsellor, wife and mum of three boys," believes this condition is divinely inspired. She insisted that her husband, Franklin Nwanorue, must post the video on Facebook and WhatsApp, declaring that infidelity in Canada would lead to his death, invoking the name of Jesus.

Before my husband can be given a visa to Canada, he must make a video confessing and post on Facebook and his WhatsApp status that if he comes to Canada and cheats on me, his wife, Ezinne Maryjane Nwanorue, he will die, in the name of Jesus.
