Founder of David’s Christian Centre, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo, has cautioned women against relying on men for financial support, stressing that such expectations are cultural rather than biblical.
In a recent sermon, the clergyman emphasized that the Bible advocates hard work and personal responsibility, not dependency. According to him, women should not expect men to shoulder their financial needs.
“It never favours you. That thing was a cultural idea. It’s not biblical. What the Bible says is that he that does not work should not eat,” he said.
Pastor Okonkwo questioned why women who previously sustained themselves before marriage or relationships suddenly shift the responsibility of survival to men. He described such attitudes as “poor people talk,” noting that individuals from well-to-do families are raised with the mindset of self-sufficiency.
