A church leader spoke out against people who treat widows like things that can be passed around after their husbands die. Bulus Yohanna leads the Christian Association of Nigeria for Niger State and works as a Catholic Bishop. He shared his thoughts during a special event for widows on Monday. Rev. Joshua Marcus spoke for him at the celebration. The event happened during International Widows Day for 2025.

Yohanna feels upset when he hears about families who divide up dead men's belongings and also claim their wives. He believes widows deserve respect because they are people with feelings and rights. Family members should help these women instead of making their lives harder. Widows need support during difficult times after losing their husbands. The church leader wants relatives to stop actions that cause more pain.

The bishop told widows they should work hard and take care of themselves. He wants them to start businesses if they do not have jobs. Raising their children should be their main focus. Women can become strong and independent with effort. He believes widows have the power to build better lives.

Mrs Ladi Nuhu runs the women's group for the church association. She talked about staying strong when life gets tough. The meeting's main message was about helping widows gain power and respect. Nuhu told the women to trust God and work toward independence. She reminded them that God cares about widows.
