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:

A full time Housewife is the most proactive service engagement with the least pay. Let us change this narrative, one home at a time

I ve heard say she stayed home to raise her children while her contemporaries were junketting & accepting speaking engagements.

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

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
