Mildred Okonkwo, a popular clergywoman, believes that girls who ask for money for transportation are lazy and thus useless.
She said this while preaching to her congregation at a recent church service.
According to the female pastor, men should avoid marrying women who are sluggish in their search for a life partner.
She contended that the fact that the man has to be forced to give the lady money indicates that the lady the man is dating or about to marry is a poor girl.
