— A lighthearted remark by Catholic priest, Reverend Father Emmanuel Fada, has stirred both amusement and debate among Nigerians after a passenger on an Ibom Air flight shared his comments on a sensitive matter.
According to the passenger, the priest explained that “It wasn’t a sin that you saw her nude while watching that video because you didn’t expect it. But if you went back to watch it again, you have to go for confession.”
The priest, blending humor with moral guidance, further added that for those who had indeed “sinned” by watching such content more than once, he was available to take confessions — jokingly noting that it would be “at a very minimal fee.”

While some have praised Reverend Father Emmanuel’s witty approach to addressing morality in the digital age, others have cautioned that the joke could be misunderstood, especially regarding the Church’s stance on sin and penance.
