The unidentified preacher made these remarks while reacting to a recent claim by Pastor Gideon Danso that he got married with GH¢600.
Speaking to his church members during a sermon over the weekend, the Ghanaian preacher said it was not possible to marry in this era with GH¢600, as claimed by Pastor Danso.
"I heard a story about a pastor marrying with GH¢600. Well, that’s his choice, but I beg to differ. How can you use GH¢600 to marry? The Uber you brought, the car you brought — how much did you take? We shouldn’t deceive the generation. GH¢600 cannot marry. I beg to differ because the car you brought, you bought fuel," he said.
"When you came, you were wearing a dress — the two of you, husband and wife. Even after, you eat. So don’t say you used GH¢600; rather say that you did your wedding moderately. Because if you say you used GH¢600 and I try GH¢600 and it doesn’t work, I might call you a liar," he cautioned.
Pastor Gideon Danso, the head of the Empowerment Worship Centre, recently tied the knot with his adorable UK-based wife.,Gina Nipah.
The couple had a simple private ceremony with only their close relatives and friends in attendance.
Speaking about the wedding to his congregants, Pastor Danso claimed he spent only GH¢600.
This statement, however, sparked a flurry of reactions, with many Ghanaians sharing their views on it.
