Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo, leader of David’s Christian Centre, launches “Mentor To Marry,” a Christian matchmaking platform aimed at bringing together singles through faith-based mentoring and matchmaking. Multiple outlets report that the service includes annual membership packages that can cost up to ₦700,000, alongside services such as mentoring, assessments, and facilitated introductions.
Outlets also describe a public backlash after the platform and its pricing were announced. Critics question whether charging high fees for relationship services commercializes love or misaligns with the pastor’s stated views on modern relationships. Other coverage characterizes the reaction as mixed, with some viewing the initiative as organized support for Christian singles while others focus on concerns about pricing and perceived motives.
Across the reports, the dispute centers less on the platform’s stated Christian purpose and more on the cost and how it is presented, including why such a premium tier exists. The articles place the controversy within broader debates about the commercialization of dating and how faith communities should approach matchmaking services.
