Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian comedian Derrick Kobina Bonney, popularly known as DKB, has expressed his disagreement with recent advice from Pastor Mensa Otabil, the founder and general overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC).
Pastor Otabil’s advice to singles to marry without amassing wealth was seen as old-fashioned by DKB.
Nonetheless, DKB reacted to this advice in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the nature of marriage has evolved since Pastor Otabil tied the knot.
He mentioned that financial problems are currently a top reason for divorce, recommending that individuals should focus on achieving financial stability before getting married.
“I am just coming from jogging, and my pastor, you know I am an ICGC member, and my pastor, Dr. Mensa Otabil, is angry about marriage. Daddy, calm down. The world has changed. He said if you want to be rich before you marry, there’s something wrong with your head,“ DKB began.
He continued, “Daddy, if you go to divorce court, ninety per cent of the cases are money issues. Daddy, we are waiting to get money before we get married. Daddy, your time was better. This time, if you don’t take care, you go marry the devil.”
Pastor Otabil also proposed that early marriage could be a solution to the problem of premarital sex among young people.
Nevertheless, DKB disputed this idea, stating that marriage is not the answer to sexual immorality; rather, self-restraint and self-discipline are the true solutions.
“Marriage is not the antidote for fornication; it is not at all. The antidote for fornication is self-control, Daddy. There are a lot of married people who are even more active on the single market than actual bachelors,” DKB added.
