Clergyman Bolaji Idowu recently offered sage advice to men seeking lifelong partners, emphasizing the importance of financial compatibility. “Date your pocket size,” he urged, encouraging men to prioritize finding women whose financial status aligns with their own.
Idowu’s words of wisdom stemmed from concerns about the cultural pressure to host elaborate weddings, which can lead to financial strain and stress. “You don’t need an extravagant wedding or expensive attire,” he reassured, advocating for simplicity.
The clergyman cautioned that marrying beyond one’s means can have severe consequences, including financial hardship, loss of peace of mind, and even health issues like heart attacks. “Find women who are your size financially,” he advised, emphasizing the value of practicality in relationships.
