Social media celebrity, Toke Makinwa, has thrown her weight behind General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor EA Adeboye, over the advice he gave to men and women seeking marriage.
The clergyman can be seen in a video that has gone viral on social media telling women “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 when anybody comes to you and say, ‘Sister, thus sayeth the Lord, you are going to be the star in my firmament,’ ask him — ‘What is your job?’”
In another video, he advised men, “Marry a prayer warrior! Don’t marry any girl who cannot pray for one hour non-stop. Don’t marry a girl who is lazy! If she is lazy when she is single, what will happen if she is married?”
Toke, who is seeking divorce from her husband, Maje Ayida, over allegation of infidelity and cruelty added her voice to the online debate that has been raging since Adeboye’s statement were made public.
Check out her intervention in the tweets she posted on Wednesday below.
Pastor Adeboye did not say anything bad, if anything I would hope the women take the advice on men seriously

A man is to provide for his household and not the other way round. If he has no income, he should not marry #Deep but true

The issue of praying for an hour, it is said that a man is the roof and the woman the foundation of the home. If the wind blows the roof….

The foundation remains. Men too should pray but because women pay more attention to detail, it is important to know how to pray
