Apostle Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, has stirred mixed reactions online after advising young men to prioritize helping other men instead of women.
His message came during a recent preaching session that has since gone viral on social media.
Explaining his stance, Suleman stated that in his experience, men who support other men are more likely to build lasting partnerships and avoid unnecessary scandals. He noted that while some women are appreciative and God-fearing, helping them often comes with risks.
“As a young man, let me give you some counsel; help more males than females. ‘Aah papa, are you against the females?’ No, let the females help themselves. Do you know why? When you help a man, you have a team. When you help a lady, wait for a scandal. Not all of them, maybe ten percent… but most times you stand a better chance helping men like you,” Suleman advised.
Despite anticipating backlash, Suleman emphasized that his advice stemmed from personal encounters and that he was not seeking public approval. “I know this statement is going to go somehow but I don’t care, I am speaking from my experience. This is my opinion and I am entitled to it,” he added.
The statement has ignited a wave of reactions online, with some supporting the preacher’s perspective based on personal experiences, while others condemned it as unfair and dismissive toward women. Critics argued that his comments reinforced gender stereotypes and undermined the struggles women face.

domingo_loso added, “Valid point. Most men no dey forget the good you do for them. Men have a very appreciative nature, when you help them no matter how little, he will most likely feel indebted to you.”
georginatvcomedy opined: “If you are in the position to help, not let gender obstruct you from doing so because even God Himself helps both the sinners and the believers.”
