Speaking on day 4 of the ongoing Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) annual youth convention, Mrs. Folu Adeboye said, "There should be no confusion in the house of God. You have to go to your Pastor first to consult for marriage before your parent."

She backed her point with Psalm 16: 8–11 which says, "I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved."
