Priest Under Fire Over Tongue-To-Tongue Anointing (Video)
By Benjamin Abioye

A Nigerian priest has defended his viral tongue-to-tongue anointing, claiming it is rooted in the Bible, but his explanation has sparked widespread criticism and debate.
Priest Eminent Baba Aladura Alvert Okikiola Oluwasegun Ogunwusi has responded to widespread criticism after a viral video showed him transferring anointing through a tongue-to-tongue kiss with his congregation.
Defending his actions, the cleric insisted that everything he did was based on the Bible, referencing Genesis 48:10 as justification.
He stated, “Everything I did is in the Bible, and I have done nothing wrong.”
His defense, however, has sparked further debate, with many questioning the biblical basis of his actions. Social media users expressed shock and disgust, with some outrightly rejecting his explanation.
A user, @drkenon2, called the act “terribly disgusting,” while another, @eduguypimp, criticized the priest’s age, saying, “Oga, you are more than 50, there are some things you shouldn’t be doing.”
Some questioned the biblical reference he provided. @oladdytwo2 argued, “Madness! The issue of Jacob—did he do that with strangers or his grandchildren? Let this fool read Hebrews 8:7.” Similarly, @MichaelDan206 asked, “Where is tongue-to-tongue in the Bible?”
Others made sarcastic comments about how religious figures twist scriptures. @Chivicson remarked, “This Bible don suffer for some people hand sha.” Meanwhile, @LukeObhokhan warned about the health risks, saying, “In this current world? Did you know your health status or his? That is homo!”
Despite the backlash, a few individuals supported him. @queensomto stated, “I don’t see anything wrong with this.” However, the majority of reactions condemned the practice, with some questioning why people still fall for such religious acts.
With the controversy still unfolding, many are waiting to see if the priest will provide further clarification or if religious authorities will intervene.
