Popular socialite Charly Boy has responded to comments made by Pastor E.A. Adeboye regarding marriage.Speaking
to his congregation, Adeboye had told the man not to marry women who
couldn’t cook or pray for an hour, and told women not to marry a man who
didn’t a job.
“Don’t get it
twisted; in as much as I flow with his definition of a good woman, from
his statement I see that the obvious way to his heart is through his
stomach and of cause through prayers. Good, No wahala!
“However
our amiable Pastor rubs it in when he starts to yarn Akpata, “Marry a
warrior, if a girl cannot pray for one hour, don’t marry her. Don’t
marry a girl who is lazy, who cannot cook. She needs to know how to do
chores and cook because you cannot afford to eat out at all times” Hmmm
na wa! Really? Seriously?
“So if my wife to be can’t rant, chant,
shout and generally carry on as a prayer warrior, praying for a whole
hour, the woman doesn’t deserve a wife status. Abi?
“Oga Pastor,
that one na missyarn. Over praying does not make one a better husband or
wife, because the world especially Naija is filled with fake people and
“fakest” pastors.
“Does a man having a job guarantee that he will
make a good husband? Does a woman knowing how to cook guarantee she
will make a good wife? Haba.
“Ok I get it, the Nigerian god has an
ear infection, so we must shout and pray for hours because that’s the
only way he may listen to our prayers, right? I know that a man is
supposed to marry a helper and not a cook or a house girl.
“By the way, is anything wrong with encouraging your young male congregation to learn how to cook and do chores too?
““Do
not marry a worldly lady” what the heck does that mean? Is it about
being materialistic or just being fashionable, looking nice. I guess in
your book we can’t be good Christians if we got swag and we are trendy.
Judge, not pastor.
“We must all not look like Deeper Life people
to have a personal relationship with God. By the way, if you want to
start writing your own commandment you may as well write your own
version of the bible for your congregation. Na una way.
“Being
married should never define a man or a woman. Marriage in a few years
anyways, will be out of fashion. Being married is only nice if we are
lucky to pick a partner who will be our friend, if not, that may be hell
on earth.
“All of us must not get married if our threshold for
nonsense and garbage is low. The world is obviously changing and we are
no longer in the 60s. Who wants to be suffering and smiling? Most
importantly marriage should not be a milestone for anyone. Yes o.
“Like
I always say, it will take two to tango. Marriage only works when
partners are determined to make it work. It can never be a merit badge,
or a status for happiness. Many of us are enslaved in our myopic mindset
that makes a mess out of what should really be a good friendship. So
Oga Pastor Adeboye, watch your yarns because a lot of people look up to
you, Biko. I don talk my own.”
