New Photos of Apostle Selman and Sandra Areh in Canada Fuel Relationship Speculation
Fresh images of Apostle Joshua Selman Nimmak, the founder of Eternity Network International (ENI), alongside his church worker Lady Sandra Areh in Canada have surfaced, triggering a wave of mixed reactions across social media platforms. The pictures, released by the media team of Koinonia Global on February 20, show Sandra kneeling before Selman as he attempts to lift food with a toothpick, both adorned in matching outfits. This visual has reignited longstanding rumours about their relationship, which have circulated since 2019, with some speculating they might be dating.
Concerned Woman's Open Message Urges Apostle Selman to Act
In response to the photos, Jessica Obioha Nwankwo, a Nigerian mother, penned a candid open message to Apostle Selman on Facebook. She advised him to "man up" and pay Sandra's bride price, arguing that he is enjoying the benefits of marriage without formal commitment. Jessica urged Selman to visit Sandra's family in Anambra State immediately upon his return from Canada to initiate marriage discussions. Her message highlighted the perceived intimacy in the photos, noting Sandra's service and their coordinated attire.
Social Media Reactions to the Woman's Appeal
The woman's message has sparked diverse opinions online. Some users, like Anastensia Okechukwu, criticized the public nature of the appeal, suggesting it should have been a private conversation. Others, such as Christ Ozor, expressed concern about the implications for Selman's ministry, advising men of God to avoid close relationships with women if not ready for marriage. Meanwhile, comments from David Joel Ajeh and Joe Joe questioned the dynamics of the situation, with some implying spiritual marriage or calling for Sandra to speak up herself.
Background on Selman and Areh's Connection
Further insights into their relationship have emerged from previous reports. A lady named Tanko Lami shared findings that Selman and Sandra have been close since their university days, with Sandra being one of his earliest ministry supporters. They have reportedly grown the ministry together, though Tanko noted Sandra lacks an independent online presence, raising questions about her role and visibility. Apostle Selman is currently in North America for ministerial engagements under Koinonia Global, adding context to the Canadian visit.
The ongoing discourse underscores the public's fascination with the personal lives of religious figures, blending elements of faith, tradition, and modern social media scrutiny. As the story develops, it continues to draw attention to the boundaries between private relationships and public expectations in Nigeria's religious community.
