Pastor Bolaji Idowu strode to the pulpit last Sunday, eyes wide with conviction. He painted a simple picture: imagine negotiating a deal on an empty stomach. Now swap that deal for a romance. Dating without a steady income, he warned, is like settling for crumbs when you deserve the whole loaf.
He told of young singles chasing fleeting affection, only to discover their “hunger” drove every choice—attracting partners drawn more to necessity than genuine connection. Instead, Pastor Idowu urged, build yourself first. Cultivate skills, chase that promotion, nurture your dreams of travel and success. When your plate is full, you’ll date from strength, not scarcity.
As laughter and nods rippled through the congregation, Idowu’s final plea rang clear: secure your future before you open your heart. Only then can love flourish on solid ground.
