Some of his well known stands are:
- He advices men not to date women under the age of 25 as they are still immature
In his own words:
”And I want to warn men to leave university students alone. Don’t date University girls. They’re not yet 25 and their brain and personality solidifies at 25.
You don’t know who you’re dealing with if she’s 23. First, she’s very unstable, she gets overwhelmed easily, she gets excited easily… 24 and below, leave those girls alone…. If you love your sanity, leave those girls alone.”
- He believes a man should not marry more than one wife. In fact, he terms this as selfish since it is only to promote the man’s desires.
- He advises men to stop sending fare.
- Young women dating married men are selling their dreams.
- He advises that in a family one should not strive to succeed alone as they won’t enjoy that success.
