According to the cleric, in many developed countries, young people at the age of 18 have already left their parents’ houses and are taking responsibility.
He further claimed there were teenagers in Silicon Valley who are already billionaires, while a Nigerian man is still in his father’s house at 28 running errands.

Pastor Kingsley stated:
“I don’t know why a man should be above 23 or 24 and not be married. Your mate in animal kingdom has grandchildren, and your mate at 18 in developed countries has left their parents’ house, which exposes them to responsibility really quickly."

To those of you attacking him, it’s obvious the situation of the country has restricted your brain. In developed countries, at 24 you are already working and in your own apartment."

"This is so WRONG! Stop putting unnecessary pressure on people. This is why people marry wrongly."
No Pastor is permitted to pressure members to get married
According to Tobi Oluwatuyi, one of the responsibilities of a pastor is to teach and pray to destroy any embargoes on marriage and not to pressure members.
"Pastor should be the last resort to run to when there's too much pressure from parent, family and peers but the reverse is the case now," he said.
