A 29-year-old Canada-based lady has sparked debate online after urging women to stop praying for marriage during the Hallelujah Challenge.

In a viral video shared on X, she said she doesn’t pray for marriage despite being 29 and not desperate.

She asked, “Let women normalise not praying for marriage at Hallelujah Challenge. I’m 29 and I don’t pray for marriage and I’m not desperate. What happens to a man praying for a marriage? Why is a man not praying to marry me?”

According to her, she focuses on personal growth, financial stability, and good health rather than marriage, saying it’s the best decision she has made.

Her remarks stirred mixed reactions online.

Maney wrote: “Funny how women say they’re not desperate but still want a man praying for them. So who’s the desperate one now? If you’re truly not praying for marriage, why care if a man is? Let everybody face their own prayer point abeg.”

Samlech added: “It’s not desperation to want marriage, but it shouldn’t be women doing all the praying either.”

House of Ary commented: “Location has a lot to do with topics like this. There’s usually a shift in perspective. Environment shapes exposure, and reshapes priorities. Many change their views on marriage, success, or family once they experience life in a different space. It’s not denial, it’s growth.”

Kelvin said: “Sometimes I stop to wonder what’s your business in people’s lives. Social media has made it easier to open your camera and make your opinion even if nobody cares. Someone joins the Hallelujah Challenge to pray for marriage, you join to pray for something else. What’s your problem with the other person praying for marriage? You all need to learn the habit of minding your business.”
