He's one of Nigeria's most influential and well-respected pastors in a country that is fervently religious, so when Pastor Enoch Adeboye speaks, people listen. Although sometimes a little later than intended.
In the past few days a YouTube video
(which was posted over a year ago) has set digital tongues wagging. It
began as a simple sermon from the pastor advising young people on
marriage. But one line sparked a social media fire.
"Don't marry a woman who can't cook," Pastor Adeboye said to
rapturous applause. "A girl who cannot cook will not be a good wife."
He went on to issue his decrees for those on the hunt for a husband too.
"Don't marry a man who has no job…A man is to provide for the house, not the other way around."
It's not clear who first shared the video
or why it has resurfaced now. But it has been trending all week with
more than 30,000 tweets, with it appears about equal numbers supporting
or opposed to the pastor's advice.
