As the Christmas season approaches, popular Nigerian televangelist, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has encouraged unmarried men not to give money to their girlfriends at the expense of their moms.
The controversial man of God and General Overseer of Omega Fire International Ministry (OFM) noted that relationships in the twenty-first century had now devolved into a commercial affair, with women using men to suit their financial requirements.
“A young man met a lady, and the next thing she said was, “What are you going to offer me?” Is a relationship a commercial transaction?
If a lady asks you what you’re going to offer her, you should ask her what she’s going to give you or what she’s already given you. Don’t disregard your mother by giving money to a woman with whom you are not married.
I’m counseling you so you don’t have to spend Christmas in anguish. Your mother is in the village, your siblings haven’t eaten, your parents are trapped, and you’re amassing Christmas funds to present to a woman you’re not married to.
Can I offer you some advice? If somebody puts you under pressure this month, switch off your phone and turn it back on in January if you can’t manage it. Only enable it if you wish to communicate with people who are important to you. “This Christmas, don’t give money to any lady; instead, take care of your family,” Apostle Suleman advises.
He also counseled unmarried women not to rely on men for a living, but rather to seek God for business ideas and possibilities. Let me say something to you as a young lady. If you look up to a man for a living, you are restricting God’s ability to bless you. When you pray to God, he will provide you with business ideas.
If you have a business concept, you may be a woman and employ and feed men. I’ve toured the world and met young girls who were so privileged and wealthy that they hired men. So, how long will you survive on men’s handouts? “Start brainstorming ideas and looking for business prospects,” advised Apostle Suleman.
