The General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM) has once again drawn public attention after announcing plans to arrange marriage for one of his adopted daughters, who lives with autism. This comes only weeks after he facilitated the marriage of his autistic adopted son, sparking renewed debate about faith, family, and disability inclusion.
According to the pastor, the daughter, identified as Chiemeka Chibuzor, is 21 years old, can hear and speak well, and is ready for marriage. He outlined strict conditions for any prospective husband: the man must be young, not disabled, and willing to accept a lifetime support package. The package reportedly includes a permanent house registered in both names, a guaranteed salary, and regular supervision visits by OPM staff to ensure she is not mistreated.
The announcement has generated mixed reactions. Supporters argue that the pastor is providing security and dignity for his adopted children, ensuring they are not abandoned or left vulnerable. Critics, however, question whether framing marriage in transactional terms respects the autonomy and consent of individuals with disabilities.
The pastor’s earlier decision to marry off his autistic adopted son was met with similar controversy, with many praising his commitment to inclusion while others raised concerns about agency and choice.
This latest move underscores the broader conversation about how faith‑based organizations approach disability, marriage, and social responsibility. While the pastor insists his actions are rooted in compassion and protection, the debate highlights the need for sensitivity and respect when addressing the lives of vulnerable individuals.
