David’s Christian Centre (DCC) founder and lead pastor, Kingsley Okonkwo, has come under fire after launching “Mentor To Marry (MTM)”, a Christian matchmaking platform with a ₦700,000 package for high-profile singles seeking potential partners.

Mr Okonkwo, a relationship and marriage expert, announced the platform’s launch on his X page on Tuesday, saying he sympathised with men of his generation over what he described as the commercialisation of relationships.

He said the commercialisation of relationships among women had made it almost impossible for young men to find true love, adding that he launched the platform to help address the situation.

The pastor wrote: “When we were young, all you had to get was a girl’s phone number, but now all they want to send is their account number. Now you are expected to pay rent, school fees and transport before you are taken seriously.

“If you are a guy and feel relationships are out of your reach because you are not rich or you just want to meet godly, well-mentored ladies from all over the world, then you have to join.”
