NEHLIVE:
In a video shared on Twitter today, Pastor Adeboye advised men not to marry girls who cannot pray for at least one hour, who cannot cook and a girl who is lazy. He said;

"Any girl who cannot pray for one hour non stop, don't marry her. Don't marry a girl who is lazy. If she is lazy when she is a girl, how is she going to cope when she is married and have children? Don't marry a girl who cannot cook". The utterance of the man of God however raised serious dust. Some people concurred with what he said, while others think the man of God was being bias.

Pastor Adeboye however also advised women not to marry a man who has no job. See the video as shared on Twitter. Guess the equation has nkw been balanced...

"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. A man is to provide for the house and not the other way round. If he has no income, he should not marry. Those who do not work should not eat and if they can't eat, they can't even marry" he said

Everything he has said here is Biblical.

Unless you do not know your Bible, I do not see what is wrong with what he has said.

On a serious note, its the gospel truth, you have no business with marriage if you can't take care of responsibilities. I am with him on this one.

shut up there what do u know... even in your Bible there are poor families... you go school up to Msc no job yet, you want wait till you are 40 before u marry... my people say marriage is blessings if I wan dash u money if u single I will give u small, but if married I will give u reasonable amount...

Toks2008:


And my question what will happen if a lady marries a "jobfull" man and he becomes jobless after marriage?

By the way how many jobless youths Redeem church dey help on a regular basis asides the few they employed.

That moment when a supposed man of God flies in private jet, he tends to forget the reality around him.

Good question. What vow did you take? For richer or poorer... through thick or thin..

Marriage is filled with ups and downs.
If a man losses him job , the wife must be supportive.

Absolutely saying the truth.............God bless u Sir.

Sunofgod:
Him don dey craze...

who if I may ask?

What if after marriage he gets sacked from office. She should divorce him abi? Cos at dat point he has no job...

Papa u said the truth which is bitter!
nairaland fellas abeg una, let's hit the road and streets and show them the stuff we are made of.
hustle up guys!
common hustle hard!

Hehehe hehehe I like this one

When I married my wife, I had no job but I held unto God. And God gave. Me a job a month after my wedding. God sees the heart if ur intentions are good He will bless your marriage. And never bring u disgrace

Elzends:
1st don't marry outside rccg
Now, don't marry a man without a job


Redeem ladies go hear am

Oga, why the vituperations? I am not the cause of your frustration, if I am not working, I won't think of going the marriage route, its common sense, how will you take care of family, borrowing?begging? or stealing? Marriage is a blessing alright but no haste to go in it, if you can't stand on your 2 feet.

DickDastardly:
I support him 100% .... all this APC paid posters shouldnt expect to get married soon cos thats no job.

As much as I hold his submissions in high regard, I'll like us to be more realistic in terms of how God speaks to us.
WHAT IF THE MAN LOOSES THE JOB IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WEDDING?


SHOULD SHE PACK OUT?



I wish to lend my VOICE with all sense of remorsefulness AND HUMILITY that IF GOD IS LEADING A LADY TO GET MARRIED TO ANY ONE, such lady should go ahead.

IT'S A HARD NUT, ONLY THE WISE CHEW IT, I have met several men whom all they have to offer is sex and money. I tell you if I meet one as such who is responsible enough, and knows where he is going in life, even though he has no JOB at the moment, I won't think twice to tie the knot.




My dear Lady don't get discouraged...... The words is for someone in the HOUSE!

Trina0936:
Yes oh! Its now time for the ladies to speak!
Any poor/jobless man should better look somewhere else because I ain't poor and I have a goodpaying job while still searching for a better one!
So men play your role or forget about marriage! Thank you Baba Adeboye!
You only said the truth and nothing but the truth

I smh for the ladies who will follow his advice.

Abeg where is the job sef? even those who have jobs are losing it?

Because he was fortunate to get a jobs in those days and he now lives on the tithes and offerings of members have made him lose touch of the reality.

At 26 I would have married your likes cos I was controlling millions from my IT business and just one crazy event sent me to square -10 and I had to work my way up again so abeg what will happen if I had married you before the negative turn around?

Pastor Adeboye goofed big time...if he said this in the 80s and maybe 90s I guess he will be making sense but saying this now where the jobs are not even there will be catastrophic to zombies who have no minds of their own.

These days guys are adviced to struggle their way to success but a regular paid job or regular income must never be used as criteria to marry a man.

Dangote did not have a steady income when he started but today he controls billions

My advice to reasonable ladies is to marry a guy who knows his onions and who is determined to make it in life.

Whats d role of RCCG in d development of the society...he jst gave some 'valid' advise, but is it jst abt talkin-talkin-talkin...??

Sweetlemon:
I'm so happy to hear this! Nigerian men are fast becoming too lazy for my liking, taking advantage of "I don't want a liability" to look for only ladies with regular source of income to marry because they are too lazy to make enough money on their own. The situation is seriously getting out of hand. The kinds of gists I hear these days about male gold diggers ehn....

hey lady don't mistake lack of opportunity for laziness. Many Nigerian men belong to the hard working category, but lack of opportunity do limit them from being productive and stable income earners. A Man should only be dubbed lazy man when he shies away from obvious opportunities.

kudos to you and your wife sir!

Mr. Adeboye is entitled to his opinion. Being a pastor does not make him an Alpha and Omega in every aspect of human endeavour. I take this to what I usually take his untested opinion to be just his usual opinions.

Old age is catching up with Adeboye for sure, pray one of these days he won't read verse upside down.
A man who saw a pregnant woman by Ilesha/Ife road with her car parked after leaving hospital Cos doctor said the baby inside her is dead and needed to be evacuated through CS.
I wonder which hospital will release a woman who had lost baby inside her or a woman who'll leave hospital after such news to come to road side of all places.
Adeboye said, " I touched her stomach and the baby came back to life"
PASTOR ADELAIR, I hail ooo..............

sorry for provoking your anger but I guess the truth is bitter... I blem the self acclaimed man of god

Sunofgod:

...old age has crept in on him. He is not crazy. He does not speak for God. He spoke for himself. So ignore him.

tunshe:
This is common sense. Although there are few exceptions! There are cases where unemployed man is supported by his wife and he later got a job.

However, there's distinction between being lazy and being unemployed.

The society must balance the fulcrum to make life worthy of living.

Lack of jobs will increase crime rates and abundance of unmarried ladies will increase promiscuity.

So you see it's all common sense! Everyone has a role to play. The government, individuals and even the religious bodies.

good u'v said it all

Sunofgod:

Show some respect pls.

Anyone who disagrees with the Pastor should give his sister or daughter to a jobless man. Then we'll know how far.

Thanks daddy.

May God continue to bless you sir.
I preach the same thing for guys of nowadays, its mostly common with illiterate yorubas and hausas, you see a small boy gets a girl pregnant and the next thing, struggled marriage, they now start struggling to survive and bring innocent children into the world to suffer with them, turning them into hawkers, labourers and all that.
It's so demeaning, i advice a guy should at least get something steady coming in and at least be comfortable a bit before bringing a wife and children into the table.

For me it makes sense that way.... NOT forgetting the wife must also be doing something too and not just a mere parasite

clap for yourself wiseman, so u dnt know even eduacted n rich people do it too, and it doesn't av to b yoruba or hausa igbos do it,think b4 u talk not talk b4 u think,flavor is igbo,uju is igbo etc dey av kids out of marriage psquare dem b igbo so no bi poverty cos am n no b only dos u mention ur tribe self dey do am either rich or poor

It's not unexpected. This is on point. No matter how small, get something to do before going to the aisle with the woman of your dream; it generates respect. She won't be eating 'Thus saith the Lord' when the reality dawns

good u'v said it all
And if the guy has a job, she marries him and after marriage he eventually lost his job, she should divorce him and wait for another working class guy. or may b start praying 1hour a day for a new job. so if she can't pray for 1hour God will not answer her prayer?
