  • Her message left many with mixed reactions as some condemned it and urged ladies to wait on God, while some agreed with the pastor

Seventh-Day Adventist preacher Pastor Elizabeth Mokoro has advised women who are only focused on education to consider finding spouses or risk meeting unsuitable partners.

In a video shared on TikTok by @raila...baba, Mokoro urged women not to spend so much time seeking the highest education status before they consider getting married.

"Do not take so much time to get married. A video showing You are hitting 24, and you must still finish your masters, saying you must be stable and enjoy your money. At 28, you are doing your PhD, and then you realise the only man available is your agemate. You are 28, and he is 28. It is hard to find someone many years ahead of you. They have already married others. Then you have them, the same age, getting married," she said.

Mokoro added that women mature faster than men, so when they marry their agemates, they think at a higher level than them.
