A woman has ignited widespread debate on social media after sharing her experience at a singles’ prayer session held at her brother-in-law’s church, where she urged women to see marriage as a meaningful achievement rather than something to downplay.
In a viral post, the woman recounted how the pastor invited singles who were “tic-tac” of being unmarried to come forward for prayers. According to her, the response at the altar was telling.
“You needed to see how women flooded the altar. They ran like it was a competition,” she wrote. “I counted 37 women and just two men. None of the women were under 30, while the men were about 40 and above.”
Reflecting on the scene, she advised women not to dismiss marriage in the name of independence or societal pressure.
“Women, don’t let anyone convince you that marriage isn’t an achievement,” she cautioned. “Ignore bitter women who tell you that once you’re independent, you can replace the role of a husband. They’re not being honest. Many of them still crave the touch of a man, later get married quietly and leave you stranded in confusion. Please, receive sense.”
Her comments quickly drew mixed reactions online, with users sharply divided.

@Reho_saj added: “Man needs woman, so also, woman needs man. Don’t be fooled, we need each other in this journey of life.”
Others pushed back against her stance. @JoschwaKalejaiye commented: “No need. Let angry misandrist keep deceiving young women.”
Meanwhile, @Gardenrhoish offered a more nuanced take: “You need to qualify the type of marriage that is an achievement—a good marriage. Facts are more than half of marriages are bad. There is no achievement in managing a bad marriage. Leave those who decide to be single alone. Better single than baby mama.”
The discussion continues to trend, reflecting ongoing tensions around marriage, independence, and societal expectations placed on women.
