Manhood enlargement doesn’t make men effective – Pastor Adeyemi
Daystar Christian Center founder, Pastor Sam Adeyemi, recently addressed the pressing issue of body image concerns among men, specifically the perceived need for manhood enlargement.
Speaking to his congregation, Adeyemi emphasised prioritising inner development, meaningful relationships, and self-acceptance over bodily comparisons.
Adeyemi shared a personal anecdote from his secondary school days, recalling classmates who secretly measured themselves with a ruler, comparing physical attributes to meet societal standards.
He criticised this practice as detrimental to self-esteem.
Adeyemi said, “One of the major pressures we have is body image problems. It is terrible to compare your body with mine. Setting standards on what the body should look like and then you find out you fell short. It is so bad.
“I went to an all-boys secondary school. I still remember a day that some of my classmates went somewhere and by the time they came back, we now found out what they went to do. They went with a ruler to measure their private parts and to compare.
“Nothing destroys self-image more than that. It is nonsense. If you are a young guy, let me encourage you because it is all over the internet now. You will see either medicine or a Chinese method of elongating your manhood.
“It is a lie, it is not the length that matters but the effectiveness, the skills and love for your spouse. So for God’s sake wait till you get married. Don’t let them kill you.”
