How she married the native doctor
Obi recalled that one certain day she had visited the man's shrine when he told her of the 'spirits' prophecy of their union.
After debating it with her mother, Obi eventually gave in as she would later find out there was a calling to be a traditionalist upon her.
The lady expressed joy at being a traditionalist, stressing that those who had mocked the move before are now celebrating with her.
Mixed reactions trail her revelations

"Pastors are not your problem as a prayer warrior watin carry you go there in the beginning... it agreed we have fake pastors but the real ones too dey so abeg at the end all man go give account of himself "
Chinedu Henry reacted:
"Madam will you keep kwayet, you were only desperate to get married as age is no longer on your side or probably because of lolo title that's involved, abeg marry your chief priest in peace and leave Christianity out of it."

"You were never a Christian. You be prayer warrior and you dey carry problem go native doctor place. Both you and the pastors coming there are not Christians. We don't judge you for your choices, but don't eat chicken and call yourself vegetarian, please! Papi.."

"I also observed something, this lady focused on spirit husband and church deliverance, who else has this feeling that she is talking about her self, and that is why she visited the native doctor at first. Abeg marry ur native doctor, we've seen a lot of things in this our country, and nothing the surprise us again."
Lady who dumped Christianity to be a high priestess of a deity opens up
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that a high priestess of a deity has stated that her husband is an elder in the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Yeye Lara Fashola-Fanimokun told Legit.ng in an exclusive interview that though born into a Muslim family, she started seeing visions and could tell future events as young as age 7.
Upon making religious and spiritual investigation, the maritime lawyer was told that there is a higher calling upon her life.
Lara said even as a prophetess, she still felt amiss until the call to be a high priestess was answered.
