A Nigerian pastor’s wife and lawyer, Jemaimah, has sparked conversation online after expressing deep concern over the growing number of married women contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) from their husbands.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Jemaimah described the trend as “alarming”, noting that it is happening even in homes that are seen as “Christian” or morally upright.

“The rate at which married women are getting STDs from their husbands is alarming, even in supposed Christian homes,” she wrote.

Her statement has resonated with many Nigerians, as it highlights not only the health risks but also the trust and moral challenges facing marriages today. While she did not provide statistics, health experts have long warned that infidelity and unsafe sexual practices remain significant drivers of STDs among couples.

Jemaimah’s post has since attracted mixed reactions — with some applauding her for speaking out, while others urged for more awareness campaigns, marriage counseling, and medical check-ups to curb the problem.

This growing concern raises questions about fidelity, sexual health education, and open communication between partners, especially in communities where such issues are often kept private.
