Pastor Funke Felix-Adejumo is known for her no-nonsense, can’t-be-bothered-to-pander-to-your-sensitivities sermons. In this particular message, she took on stay-at-home mums and financial dependence.

This tweep takes exception to Pastor Funke’s message:
This week, Ololade Ajekigbe wrote an article titled How To Know If You Are Poor. In that article, she gave an illustration of a woman who’s been married couple of years losing her husband and reverting to poverty because she’d been a housewife at her husband’s request and had no savings to fall back on, but she has five children. It’s this bracket of women Pastor Funke was speaking to.
Twitter weighs in:
You see @funkeadejumo is someone who I 've bn listening2 since 2004. The real culprits are those who trend 1min out of a 1hr sermon

It is not your location that defines ur dignity. It is ur results that take away insults. You can be a Solution Point from ANYWHERE

The same men who say they like a smart, independent women are the same that will still complain about the woman being a career woman.

In my opinion, to some extent, the preacher is right…because I personally experienced it. If my mother wasn't financially independent…

My point is that you and your partner should discuss what will work for you guys. If you're not on the same level with regards…

I know of a woman whose husband passed away and couldn't afford to pay the school fees of her kids just because she was a house wife

What if ur husband dies or divorces u? What's ur plan B as a woman. A woman has to b financially independent cos a man may nt always b there
