Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has shed light on the reasons behind Nigerian gospel singer Moses Bliss‘ decision to marry a Ghanaian woman.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, Reno Omokri claimed that Moses Bliss’ decision is rooted in his perception of Southern Nigerian girls’ attitudes towards money.
According to him, many girls from Southern Nigeria place a high emphasis on financial support, expecting a man to spend not only on them but also on their entire family.
He claimed that if Nigeria had easier access to visa-free or visa-on-arrival arrangements with more countries, there might be an increase in unmarried women within the country.
Omokri suggested that Southern Nigerian men, upon encountering women who are less money-conscious during their travels, may become less inclined towards relationships with Nigerian women.
The presidential aide noted that Nigerian men are highly regarded by South African and Kenyan women.
He further expressed concern over what he sees as the urgent need for cultural reorientation among Nigerian women due to the prevalent commercialization of romance.
Reno Omokri wrote, ‘’I can understand why Moses Bliss married a Ghanaian. I have been to Ghana, and their women tend to be easier to relate with than many Southern Nigerian women.
“In fact, is love without billing still possible in Southern Nigeria? In our part of the world, ‘He is loving’ means ‘He is spending’. When you tell many Southern Nigerian girls, ‘I love you’, they hear, ‘You owe me’. Especially those with Industrial Money Obtainer culture.
“If you marry the Industrial Money Obtainers, I pity you. The billing will become industrial. You will look after her and her entire family. No capping. And better not expect gratitude. In their eyes, you are doing your duty.
“If Nigeria had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to more countries, there would be an epidemic of unmarried women in Nigeria.
“Because when Southern Nigerian men travel within Africa and outside Africa and encounter beautiful women who are not money conscious, they quickly lose their appetite for Nigerian women. Already, Nigerian men are considered a catch by South African and Kenyan women.
“We urgently need a cultural reorientation amongst our women. Especially in Southern Nigeria. The monetisation of relationships in Southern Nigeria is just too suffocating.
“I am well-traveled, and I am yet to see the level of commercialization of romance I have seen in Southern Nigeria. I call it as I see it!”
