Apostle Johnson Suleman has urged singles to rethink how they approach dinner dates, stressing that such outings should be about getting to know one another and not an opportunity to get a free meal.

 

Speaking during a sermon, the Omega Fire Ministries founder addressed both women and men, offering practical advice on what he believes should be the right attitude before agreeing to meet someone over dinner. According to him, both parties should show responsibility and avoid putting themselves or the other person in uncomfortable situations.

 

He began by speaking directly to women, encouraging them not to see a dinner invitation as a chance to satisfy their hunger.

 

“Going out on a dinner date is a platform for familiarisation. It's not a cure for starvation. What are you doing carrying takeaway? What are you doing with takeaway? Don't you have respect for yourself?”

 

Suleman went on to share what he described as two important pieces of advice for women before heading out on a dinner date.

 

“As you're placing orders, please, as a lady, here are two pieces of advice I will give you if you're going on a dinner date.

 

Number one, eat very well from home. Number two, have money in your bag to order what you can pay for in case he doesn't pay. A dinner date is a platform for familiarisation, not a cure for starvation. So it's very important. Eat very well before you leave home. Make sure that when you get there, you don't feel like eating. Just say, 'Give me water.' If he asks why, you say, 'No, just give me snacks.'

 

Or simply have enough money in your bag to pay for whatever you order. That's for the sisters.”

 

Turning his attention to men, the cleric said they also have a responsibility to plan dates within their financial means instead of choosing expensive places they cannot comfortably pay for.

 

“And you as a brother, don't take someone on a dinner date to a place you know you can't afford. By the time you get there, you start behaving like a p0ssessed person. 'How much is water?' They say, ₦2,000, and you say, 'Eeeh. How come.?'”

 

His message centered on preparation, self-respect and financial responsibility from both sides. Rather than focusing on the food or the bill, he encouraged singles to remember that the main purpose of a dinner date is to spend time together, have meaningful conversations and learn more about each other.

 

Throughout the message, Suleman maintained that neither person should attend a date expecting to be fed at someone else's expense or trying to impress beyond their financial capacity. In his view, being prepared before the outing helps avoid awkward moments and allows both people to focus on building a genuine connection instead of worrying about the cost of the evening.
