Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo Launches N700K Matchmaking Platform

Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo, founder of David’s Christian Centre and a well-known relationship coach, has launched a faith-based matchmaking platform called “Mentor To Marry.” The platform offers annual membership packages ranging from N70,000 to N700,000, aimed at connecting Christian singles seeking intentional, marriage-focused relationships through mentoring, assessments, and guided matchmaking. The pricing structure has generated significant debate on social media, with many Nigerians questioning the high costs associated with accessing a service intended to help individuals find life partners.

Critics, including users on X such as @gatsegwasiPhD and @DaraMoren1, have expressed concerns about the commercialization of relationships, arguing that such high fees may exclude those without financial means. Despite the backlash, some defended the initiative, suggesting that professional matchmaking services are valuable.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Neo commented that paying for counseling might help individuals make better relationship choices. The discussion continues to divide opinions on social media regarding the platform's value and accessibility.
