Why so wicked? A section of Nigerians mock Ruth Matete amid husband’s loss

On Sunday, Ruth Matete lost her Nigerian husband, Beloved John but a couple of Nigerians took the opportunity to instead backlash the Kenyan singer.

Ruth and her late hubby, Pastor Beloved John tied the knot in November 2019, in a ceremony criticized by many, who branded her a ‘husband-snatcher’.

Pastor John was allegedly still married to one Juliet Aihinomo Idehen with whom they sired two children.

However, the Nigerian pastor still thanked all his haters, affirming that him and his wife – Ruth Matete – were doing good and would continue doing well through God’s blessings.

Hubby’s note

Sadly though, however inhumane one can get, there are times when compassion needs to precede cruelty and for Ruth Matete, the time is now for her critics to just take a back seat.

Instead of standing in solidarity with her, as she grieved her late husband, who has left her carrying their unborn child, some Nigerians took a swipe at the Kenyan gospel singer.

Singer, Ruth Matete

An online user lashed:

Ruth, you refused to tell John the truth. John was married here in Nigeria, blessed with two lovely kids.he abandoned his family in Nigeria and pitch a tenth with you.for you not have tell him the TRuth…God will surely asked you someday. Even after we his family members called you,send you messages on Facebook to desist from this act, you still hold on to another’s woman’s husband.

Cautioning her that a man’s unjust ways lead to destruction. Before urging her to repent and ask John’s ‘other wife’ for forgiveness.

“No words are enough to comfort you” Kambua’s emotional message to bereaved singer, Ruth Matete

These must be trying times for gospel singer, Ruth Matete who lost her husband last week Saturday, after succumbing to burn injuries.

Darkness engulfed the Kenyan singer’s heart and home, following a gas explosion in their home that saw her husband spend days fighting for his life in the ICU/HDU.

Ruth Matete still held on strong, for the sake of their unborn baby and her husband.

Pastor Beloved John was doing well, even feeding himself, until the cruel hands of death snatched him away from the earth.

None of us can even try and fit in Ruth Matete’s shoes, but it must be immense for her.

Singer, Ruth Matete

All this is bearing in mind that the two had their nuptials only in November 2019 and Ruth, who is in her first trimester, has been left behind with a child to bear and bring up.

Fellow gospel artist, Kambua, had ‘not enough words to comfort’ the grieving singer because none of the events can be explained yet.
