My Parents Are Worried I’m Engaged to a Pastor

Love Life is a Zikoko series on love and relationships. Deborah (30) and Oba (33) met at a bank in 2021. He was everyone’s favourite colleague and later opened up to her during a late-night stay at his family home in Ibadan. Their easy friendship soon turned into something more. Oba left his banking career in early 2023 to become a full-time pastor. They got engaged later that year, but Deborah’s parents remain uneasy about his choice to trade a stable salary for ministry work. Now they’re navigating their upcoming wedding while reassuring her family that pastoral life can provide for their future.
