10 controversial statements by counsellor Lutterodt

Popular radio and television relationship counsellor, Reverend George Lutterodt, is in the news again, after asking people who disagree with him not to insult him

Mr Lutterodt has come under intense criticism in recent days for calling on women not to marry men who cannot take care of them.

In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, he suggested that a lot of those criticisms have been informed by poor media reportage.

“I am just warning those who are speaking loosely to be careful of what they say. If you quote me verbatim, I am ok, but if you misquote me, then you are bringing the wrath of God over your life,” he said.

The marriage counsellor said he had to call one blogger to apologise and retract some "lies" written about him

"I think that people must learn that we do not insult. Many say I am harsh but I believe I am straightforward and passionate about what I do,” he added.

"When a National Service Person proposes to marry a woman, that lady should report him to the nearest Police Station."

"Dating is not a relationship."

"If you are a woman and you date one man for more than two weeks then there is something wrong with you."

"You don't marry for yourself, you marry for your family. Don't marry because of love, marry because of feeling."

"A man who is not ready for marriage is a man who cannot feed himself 3 times a day plus snack."

"A man who is not ready for marriage is a man who wakes up in the morning and cannot eat the food 'his neck loves.' He waits until 11am and he eats banku, tuna, groundnut soup and drinks more water."

"Never allow a poor man to marry you. A poor man's marriage will kill you early. And when you die you will go to hell."

"If a man has reached the stage of marriage and his mother and father are afraid to tell him to go and marry, both parents are witches and wizards."

"If you are a beautiful woman and you walk around and men are afraid to ask you out or hit on you, buy a big mirror and fix it in your room and cry."

"Report any man who is not married to you but uses your picture as his DP(display picture) to the police and get him arrested."

"A man is not ready for marriage when he lives in 'obey the wind' self contain. 'Obey the wind' self contain is a room you partition with cast-off ('foes') curtains and you hold the middle with pegs and when the wind blows, you see chamber and hall."
