Nollywood film-maker, director and media consultant, Niyi Akinmolayan has revealed that pastors are the worst set of people to seek marital advice from.
According to Akinmolayan, pastors and their wives don’t represent marriage in its raw form because they usually need to keep up appearances for the sake of the ministry.
He went further to advice both the married and the singles not to attend any marriage seminar organized in their place of worship without inviting divorced people. He shared this thought on his social media page.

“Actually, the worst people to take marriage advice from are pastors. Pastors and their wives usually need to keep up appearances for the sake of the ministry so they don’t represent marriage it its raw form. In fact, if they do marriage seminar in your church without inviting divorced people, don’t attend.”
As expected his statement has elicited different reactions from Nigerians.
