An African pastor has made headlines on social media with her words of advice to young women in search of a husband. In a video posted on Twitter/X on October 30th, she spoke to an audience about the importance of being "packaged" well in order to attract a man.
She began by advocating for a cheerful attitude, going out often, and wearing wigs when you do. She suggested that natural hair does not make a woman attractive to men.
"The Bible says that will have friends must first show himself friendly. You're squeezing your face, 'nobody is calling me', but this is how your face is," she said. She then went on to explain that women should visit places where there may be potential suitors, and always put their best foot forward.
"Friday night, you're at home. Monday, you're at home, Tuesday, you're at home. Instead of you to be smiling, be shining your teeth anywhere you are. When your friends are hanging out, say, 'I'm coming.' When your colleagues are going to one say, 'Maybe that's where my husband will be. Let me dress up and join them.' Show yourself friendly, and then you will have friends," she said.
The pastor also encouraged women to spend money on hair and make-up products, rather than their natural hair. She even demonstrated her point by dramatically flipping her wig. "Go and spend that money on hair. Draw your brows, buy lip gloss, and look good. Natural hair is not selling market. When you marry you off your wig because you have entered, there's nothing they can do about it. But before you enter, don't be caught unfresh. Never. Package yourself well," she explained.
The video sparked a heated discussion amongst social media users. Some women were offended by her comments on natural hair, while others praised her for her words of wisdom. The pastor concluded her speech by encouraging women to look their best at all times, even at weddings, with "snatched" waists and Aso Ebi Nigerian outfits.
In the end, it's up to the individual to decide how they want to take her advice. But one thing is for sure: her words have created a buzz on the internet and sparked a lively debate.
