Awon bishop esu, don't bring rubbish to our Christian religion biko. Baba Adeboye we follow.

All of them are confused because they are speaking from their own point of view and not holy spirit inspired message.

The Bishop is right .... we need to read for understanding and not to criticize. What exactly was he saying? Isn't it that Oyedepo is laying out a personal opinion as if it's Biblical? Most of the listeners do not read the Bible and will give it as Biblical. He is also saying that a woman must know how to cook should not be top priority in deciding if a man should make her his wife ...that there are other factors that are more important. Maybe many men followed Oyedepo 's opinion ...married oloshos because they can cook verrry well. Then what?

We want to check the lives of those Bishops
There are meany Bishops with plenty sidechicks.
Anyone who doesn't have sidechicks and who had been married over 40 years is who we will take seriously.
Re: Bishops Disagree With Adeboye On Marriage Advice To Men by bluefilm:
But do men actually need adeboye to tell them this truth?

Some things are just better left unsaid because that's pure common sense

Just as women overtly and covertly state that they cannot stay with a man who cannot provide, so it should be with men when it comes to settling down with women who cannot cook

To cut it short, any woman who cannot cook is a man

So guys, do you really want to marry your fellow man?

So, this bishop's daughters cannot cook or will not be willing to be cooking for their husbands? Let the bishop tell his sons-in-law that Adeboye is wrong in this case

Insisting that a woman must cook for her husband may not be biblical. But a woman insisting on getting married and not cooking for her husband is also not biblical.

David Oyedepo said that it is poverty that makes a man to expect his wife to cook for him. No bishop disagreed with Oyedepo despite the fact that that statement is not a biblical standard. This is simply because what Oyedepo said is what many Gen z ladies want, and in most cases, church leaders are interested in what will bring more members and not what is biblical.

Adeboye has now said what many Gen z ladies do not want, a bishop disagrees with him.

As Adeboye's statement is not a biblical standard, is Oyedepo's statement a biblical standard?
Is this what you grasped from reading the above? I had to stop after the first paragraph when it dawned on me you didn't understand the response they gave to the RCCG oversea

MartinCorridon:
If you like, as a man, marry a woman who can't cook.

I don't share bills at all, I pay 100%. If I want to support with household chores, that's my own prerogative.

But if you share bills, you should also share chores too.
And when you have problems paying because of lack of finances the marriage breaks isn't it? Don't even say that bullshit escues that you can't be in that situation because this is not about you but about people who have this mentality and plethora if men have been in conditions of lack which led to divorce because their wives refused to enter into that realm if paying bills because they used to eating free meals all their lives .

That is his personal opinion and he is entitled to it. Come to think of it, it is easier to learn how to cook in this age.
Re: Bishops Disagree With Adeboye On Marriage Advice To Men by MightySparrow: 6:24pm On May 03
End time archbishop. By the time the husband is keeping late hours, jumping from one joint to another, meeting different girls, the eyes of the wife and her bishop will open.


By the way, which home is a wife who cannot cook is coming from?

I don't know how many Yoruba girls you dated to come to that assumption. You only need to date a real one to give you a brain lift grin
I was born and bred in Yorubaland, and I’ve been eating the food for God knows how long. Because of that, there is really nothing you can tell me on this topic.

If cooking is just about boiling water, pouring in rice, and mixing oil with pepper and basic spices, then anyone can do that. But the pure art of cooking? Nah, I am not convinced yet. The unspoken truth is that a proper Yoruba girl struggles to serve soup without a base stew.

Anyone can throw ingredients together to survive, but can you cook a truly delicious meal? That is where the real test lies.
Re: Bishops Disagree With Adeboye On Marriage Advice To Men by Prdo: 6:29pm On May 03
This is not for everyone and the bishop should not be angry with Daddy GO, because the counsel is not for the bishop, his congregation or for every christiàn for that matter.This is just an admonition of a father to his sons and daughters.

Many things were said in the sermon "Excellent Counsel" to children, youth, unmarried boys and girls, adults and the elderly. Why is it that the aspect of cooking or a wife being hospitable is now an issue ?

SpencerForbes:
I get his angle 💯. It’s obvious his daughters probably can’t cook, so he’s worried that if men actually follow this advice, his kids will remain unmarried at 40.

Go and teach your kids how to cook!!!

How can I marry a woman, and when I’m heading home from work and she says there's food, I’m not even excited or rushing back just to taste my wife’s meal?

Employing a cook is the absolute last thing on my mind. Even if I do get one, and my wife still can't prepare a special dish once in a while just to make me happy, I'd honestly sack the cook.
Big man! How many cooks your papa employ for your mama? Make una dey form nonsense.. undecided even if my money long like Dangote na my wife and female children go dey do kitchen job...a job i did even as a rich man's son? Taa!
Re: Bishops Disagree With Adeboye On Marriage Advice To Men by stagger: 6:36pm On May 03
My grandfather sent all his daughters (my aunties) to my mum to learn how to cook. That is how good a cook my mum was.

How can a woman enter a man's house without learning how to cook? Absolute nonsense.
Re: Bishops Disagree With Adeboye On Marriage Advice To Men by Jman06(m): 6:40pm On May 03
These ones would be fast to tell us what roles men should play in marriage but once anyone talks about women's roles they'll start trying to shift the goal post.

Bishops under the aegis of the Ecumenical Synods of Bishops, Archbishops, Apostles and Senior Clergy have disagreed with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over his warning that men should not marry women who cannot cook.

Adeboye gave the warning while sharing marital guidelines for young men during the May edition of the Holy Ghost Service on Saturday.

He cautioned that marrying based solely on beauty or ignoring practical considerations could lead to what he described as a “deep trap.”

The cleric stressed that spiritual discernment and domestic competence should take precedence over physical attraction and social status, warning men not to be carried away by outward appearance.

He said, “There are many demons that are very beautiful. If you marry because of beauty, you might choose a demon. I’m not saying all beautiful people are demonic. If it’s beauty alone that leads you into marriage, it’s a deep trap.

Citing Sarah and the Shunamite woman as biblical examples of hospitable cooks, Adeboye said, “Don’t marry a girl who cannot cook. We are talking of excellent counsel. Only I can tell you these things. Even if a prophet says this is your wife, if she can’t cook, say ‘Thank you, keep her.’”

Commenting on the warning, the International Secretary of the Bishops, Archbishop Osazee William, disagreed with Adeboye’s position, describing it as an opinion rather than a scriptural standard.

William, while speaking with Sunday PUNCH said, “Is it scriptural for a man not to marry a woman who cannot cook? Even men can cook. This is not directly opposing the father of faith, who is a revered God’s general, but this is an opinion.”

The President of the International Fellowship of Ecumenical Ministries argued that cooking ability should not be used as a major yardstick for marriage, noting that character and values are more important.

He added that individuals who lack cooking skills could learn over time, stressing that marriage decisions should be based on broader qualities.


“What about a good cook that is a witch? What about a woman who can cook and becomes obsessed with cooking to the extent that she loses character? You can know how to cook and not be neat or hygienic. Man shall not live by bread alone.

“If a person does not know how to cook, the person can learn. You can even buy a cookery book. I think the yardstick for marrying is a good, godly and industrious character.”

According to him, economic realities have also reshaped family roles, with some women serving as breadwinners and having limited time for domestic duties.

“There are so many women who are breadwinners and do not have time to cook. You can be a good cook and all you know is cooking and nothing else. Men need more than delicious meals. Such a career woman only needs to employ a good cook,” he added.


Earlier at the programme, Adeboye also advised men to reconsider marriage plans if a prospective bride insists on a wedding that could plunge them into debt.

On personal appearance, the cleric warned against excessive use of cosmetics, including false hair, eyelashes and nails, urging men to look beyond outward beauty.

“Don’t marry a girl who does not do things in moderation. No matter how close you are to a wedding and your girl is suggesting a wedding that is going to cost you everything you have and get you into debt, call it off.

“The girl you are going to marry must not be heavily made up. If you look at the girl, the hair on her head is from India. The eyelashes are false. The nails of the hand are false. The nails of the toes are false. You must ask yourself the question, ‘What is behind the mask?”

Citing the Bible, he added that excessive makeup could be a sign of concealment, referencing the character Jezebel in 2 Kings 9:30–37.

I don't know how the matter concerns them. Pastor Adeboye has repeatedly said that when he speaks that way he is speaking to his children and not folks like them who do not belong to his church. They are free to disagree with him and not ensure they properly bring up their daughters to know how to cook and keep home. He is not speaking to everyone.

Well, different strokes for different folks.

I can cook but I do not like to cook often, especially because I'm a busy person.

I do the bulk cooking and store.
My husband helps with prepping day to day meals like boiling rice,spag, heating up soups/stews. He also preps quick meals especially for the kids.

There is no woman who can not cook.
It's actually very easy to cook in recent times.

That said... A serious woman should have basic culinary skills before marriage and motherhood.

Re: Bishops Disagree With Adeboye On Marriage Advice To Men by babadots: 7:16pm On May 03
If any discerning person reads this very well, they'll see that both the Bishop and Pastor Adeboye said the same thing. The problem came with the Bishop now latching on to just one piece of Pastor Adeboye's message and making a mountain of the mole hill.


Godliness and industriousness were exactly what Pastor Adeboye was advising, while discouraging vanity. So what exactly is wrong with that? Is Bishop trying to trend by all means necessary?

Re: Bishops Disagree With Adeboye On Marriage Advice To Men by Olufemiolaolu(m): 7:51pm On May 03
A woman that cant cook definitely lacks home training and she isn't well brought up. The so called bishop criticizing Papa Adeboye should allow their sons to marry such illtrained women. A wife's role is to nurture her family.
