Pastor Bolaji Idowu of Harvesters Church has advised jobless individuals to avoid relationships, warning that love without financial stability may be driven by desperation, not genuine affection.
- Pastor Bolaji said poverty-induced relationships can feel right until financial independence reveals true preferences.
- He cautioned that hunger, not love, often drives attraction when one is broke.
- A viral clip of his message sparked mixed reactions across social media and comment sections
Some commenters agreed with the pastor, calling it “hard truth,” while others criticized his stance as materialistic and dismissive of love formed during life’s struggles. Stories from couples who started with nothing but love also emerged in response.
Should financial readiness be a prerequisite for relationships? Or does love thrive best when tested by hardship? The debate continues.
