Saturday, January 8, 2022, as early as 6:30am, I received a call that cleared sleep out of my eyes. The caller, who hid his caller ID, explained why some men do seek spiritual help to cage their wives. The caller, who later disclosed his identity said "it is not evil to 'secure' a good wife especially when you know that her presence brings favour and prosperity into your life."

They realized that such a…
