@Geggie:”Shaking my head 😮‍💨 Marriage counselling don turn business venture for some places. If people are already coming to you for help with their marriage, charging them heavily for basic guidance can understandably raise questions.”

@Clarity:”When modern men have lost their masculinity by being puppets to women while spending recklessly for pvssies. It is best a man steps up to charge men to come to their senses. Lots of modern men should be charged for being immature in their marriage and for picking terrible wives.

@Frank:”Church business is a very lucrative in Nigeria. Even if God didn’t call you, you just need to call yourself. Learn a thing or two about psychology, tell people what they want to hear and they’d flock to you like sheep without a shepherd.”

@Donnar THE FINANCIAL SPECIALIST:”f a pastor is a certified professional counselor with qualifications, why shouldn’t they charge for their time and expertise? The issue is uncertified ones charging premium prices under spiritual authority.
