Nigerians react to Pastor Adeboye's advice to singles on marriage

Nigeria: The General overseer of the Redeem Christian Church of God RCCG Pastor E.A Adeboye on Tuesday, August 2, advised single men not to marry women who cannot cook, that are lazy and cannot pray for at least one hour. He also advised women not to marry men who do not have jobs.  His statement has however sparked mixed reactions on social media, as some Nigerians believe that the message will reduce their chances of getting a spouse. See reaction below

His advise:

“Don’t marry a man who has no job. Before God gave Adam Eve, he gave him a job. He said this is the garden, keep it. So those who come to you and say sister, thus saith the lord, you are going to be the star in my firmament, ask him what is his job.

If he tells you he is a contractor, ask him to show you evidence of all the contracts he has done because the contract he is talking about is you. He wants to live off you. Don’t be a fool. If he hasn’t got a steady income, don’t marry him.”
