LAGOS — Pastor David Ibiyeomie, the senior pastor and founder of Salvation Ministries has said poverty is the only reason why most men have chosen to remain unmarried.
Speaking to his congregation during his new month service on Tuesday, March 1, he urged bachelors to amass money and marry as soon as possible.
He said, “There is no man who is mature who doesn’t want to marry. It is poverty. If you have money, won’t you marry?
He went on to address unmarried men who are between the ages of 25 and 40.
According to Ibiyeomie, men who are not yet married in their 20’s are bachelors, unmarried men between the ages of 25 and 40 are ‘manchelors’ while those above 40 are ‘pachelors’.
“We have bachelors, manchelors and pachelors. A bachelors is in his 20’s. If you are between 25 and 40 and you are not married, you’re a manchelor; you have become a man and you’re not married. If you are above 40 you have become a pachelor.
“There are some pachelors who are not married not because they don’t want to marry but because there is no money.”
He said that a man can only command the respect of a woman with money, stating that women do not want to have anything to do with a poor man.
“Without finance, there will be no romance. Have you seen any woman who says she loves a man without money? I have not seen a woman who loves a man who is broke. Not one!
“No woman loves a poor man. If a wife says she loves her husband, it’s because there is money. Check the woman whose husband is not providing, you will hear things like, ‘useless man’, ‘a man that cannot pay school fees’, ‘yeye man’.
He continued, “As a broke man, when a woman calls you ‘yeye man’, just know that you are ‘yeye’, truly. You know that God has wonderful plans for you but Satan said ‘No!’ No job, no contract, no nothing, and you’re still looking.
“Fight and say, ‘This is not the plan. I can’t be this mature and not get married’. Tell the devil, ‘Clear from my way, I am not a ‘yeye man’, I must be a good man.'”
