Tonto Dikeh urges men to step up during courtship

Nollywood actress and evangelist Tonto Dikeh has shared her thoughts on courtship among Christian singles. While speaking in a video, Tonto urged men to step up when courting a lady for the purpose of marriage.

She explained that some men adopt ‘low effort’ methods during courtship. She noted that they should not rely solely on spiritual declarations as a substitute for genuine effort when pursuing a woman for marriage.

“This is a very funny topic, but it is one that we actually need to discuss. So, if you are a brother in the Lord, come forward; this is for you. Why do church brothers think church sisters don’t require gifts? What about this low-effort thing you put into wooing or pursuing a woman? Church brothers would say, ‘God sent me to you,’ and blah, blah. God can send you, but using spiritual language to mask emotional laziness is a distortion of God’s character. Saying, ‘God told me you are my wife,’ is not an excuse to bypass intentionality and practical effort,” she said.
