A video of a Nigerian pastor helping single congregants find their soulmates has emerged and left social media users wondering if they too should visit the church and get as lucky.
In the video, the pastor calls a woman to the front and asks her if she is married. After saying no, the woman is then told to walk around the church and find a man she likes, to no avail.
The pastor further asks if there are male congregants who would like to marry the woman, and then eight run to the front!
All the men say they like her because she is beautiful. The problem is that she does not like any of them.
However, it is not all bad for the men as the pastor again asks female congregants to pick their husband from the eight men who were rejected. Women in their numbers run to the front and stand behind the man of their choice, with most of the guys ending up with more than five women willing to marry them.
The pastor then offers to pay for the eight mens’ wedding celebrations if they find a wife among the women who offered their hand in marriage in this rather unusual version of TB Joshua meets the Bachelor.

These were some of the reactions on Facebook:
“I thought he was having a great sermon by teaching the first woman that she must not keep looking forever to find someone to marry, but when he called all the other ladies who want to marry those men, that’s when I see he has lost it.”
“The pastor got tired of praying for marriage miracles to his congregates so opts for plan B.”
“If you need a ozzband you know where to go… Hahaha.. Church iyi yakanyanya.”
“I honestly don’t see anything wrong here…u pick partners from Bars, clubs, hotels.all those funny places, worse still with not even a single vision of leading the whole thing to what the purpose of a relationship should be; Only & Only Marriage.Just because its a Man of God doing it for His Children in the Lord, it should face criticism. Faithless Generation! Brood of Vipers!”
“You go to church single then come back with 5 potential wives. How great is the God.”
