Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo has revealed that one of his greatest regrets in his 30 years in ministry is not helping single people get married earlier during a service on marriage and also gives reasons why he went into matchmaking.

“One of my greatest regrets in these thirty years is not helping single people get married since. Before, I was just leaving it to preaching and praying,” he said.

He explained that many faithful women in churches have prayed for husbands for years, yet remain unmarried. “

Today some are all almost 50, and they have not married. Most of the churches I preach at, the pastors call me and say, ‘Help our sisters. We have faithful sisters, prayer band, choir, serving the Lord, but no husband.’”

According to him, some are privately struggling. “People are crying every day. They are just pretending in church. They are crying. They are tired of life.”

He said this led to the creation of a platform to help singles find partners, but they discovered another challenge. “We found out that a lot of people that want to be married are not ready to be married.”

He recalled finding good men for women in their 30s and 40s, only for some to reject them over seemingly minor reasons.

“You will see a 42-year-old woman we found good men will say “But I have been begging and praying.’ Then when we bring a man she will say , ‘I don’t like his haircut.’”

He added: “Some people, self, it’s not matchmaking that is their problem. They are not even matchable. No matter how you bring, they won’t agree.”

Okonkwo also spoke about women freezing their eggs, saying, “Do you know how much freezing egg costs? And they say you pay to sustain it.”

“These are the things nobody will talk about in church, but they will att@ck me for addressing the issue on ground,” he said.
