Lead pastor of David’s Christian Centre and a popular relationship coach, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo has sparked mixed reactions after unveiling a Christian matchmaking platform, Mentor To Marry, with membership packages costing up to N700,000 annually.
The platform, which is aimed at helping Christian singles find intentional and God-centred relationships, comes amid growing conversations about the financial pressures surrounding modern relationships and marriage.
Okonkwo, in a post shared on X, lamented what he described as the increasing commercialisation of relationships, arguing that financial expectations have made it difficult for some young men to find genuine love.
Unlike conventional dating platforms, Mentor To Marry requires intending members to undergo an eight-week process involving mentoring classes, personal assessments and guided reflection before gaining access to its matchmaking services.
According to the platform’s guidelines, membership does not guarantee that users will find a partner or get married. It also has strict rules prohibiting harassment, fraud, catfishing and explicit content.
A free community option is reportedly available for singles who are not ready to commit financially to the paid membership packages.
However, the announcement has drawn criticism from some Nigerians, particularly over the cost of membership, with several social media users questioning the affordability of a platform designed to help Christian singles find marriage partners.
