The young man, in a TikTok video posted by @akb_extraordinary1, opined that any woman who does not have a minimum of GH¢10,000 in her bank account is not eligible and ready for marriage.

"Any woman looking for marriage should stop praying for a husband if you don't have at least GH¢10,000 in your bank account. You are clapping and praying to God for a husband, yet you don't have GH¢10,000, then it means you are not serious. You don't work, you don't have money, and you want to carry all your burden on the man," he said.

He consequently urged young women to work hard to earn a living for themselves but to also avoid shouldering all the financial burden in marriage.
