“Stop using God told me” – Tonto Dikeh urges Christian men to step up during courtship

Nollywood actress-turned-evangelist Tonto Dikeh has stirred conversations online after sharing her views on courtship among Christian singles.

In a video posted on her social media page, Tonto advised Christian men not to rely solely on spiritual declarations as a substitute for genuine effort when pursuing a woman for marriage.

According to her, some Christian men adopt what she described as a “low-effort” approach to relationships by making statements such as, “God told me you are my wife,” instead of intentionally getting to know the person and building a healthy relationship.

She encouraged Christian men to move away from what she considers shortcuts in courtship and to invest more time, sincerity, and effort into developing meaningful relationships.

“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.
