Speaking in a viral video, the evangelist argued that helping a fellow man is more likely to yield lasting gratitude, while women often move on once they enter new relationships.
“Invest in a fellow man there is possibility that he will remember. But when you invest in a woman, when she will remember you is when she’s in need again.
“Men hardly forget. One day they will remember that this man helped them when they were in secondary school.
“But women, if they meet another relationship, they have moved on. If she even see you in a vehicle, she will do like this (waving). When a woman move, when a woman meets another man, she forgets everything you have done for her. But a fellow man cannot even forget easily,” he said.
The remarks quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from social media users.
While some agreed with the cleric's opinion, others argued that gratitude has nothing to do with gender but is instead a reflection of individual character.
One user, Ugoo, wrote:
“We might call this generalisation, but this is commonly true. Do something for a man today, it could be a favour or a gift, instantly, the man feels like he is indebted to you. Everything going on in his head is how he can better repay you, but I can’t say the same for women.”
Another user, Chinemeluma, commented:
“I believe he’s coming from the angle of people investing on their girlfriends, female friends and male friends. Because there’s nothing wrong investing on your daughter or sisters.”
Disagreeing with the cleric, Eby’s Lady wrote:
“It’s not true man of God. Investing in a woman it’s not only in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. Women don’t forget who invested in their lives no matter where she finds herself, period!”
Mazi Okwuoma also challenged the statement, saying:
“This isn’t a gender issue, it’s a character issue. There are plenty of ungrateful men who eat your money and act like they don’t know you, and plenty of loyal women. People just need to stop investing in the wrong individuals.”
