Controversial media personality, Reno Omokri, has shared his insights on the marriage of renowned Nigerian gospel singer, Moses Bliss, to a woman from Ghana rather than his home country.
The couple recently celebrated their union in a lavish ceremony that drew the attendance of numerous Nigerian celebrities in Ghana.
Omokri, reflecting on his brief stay in Ghana, explained that he believes Ghanaian women are more relatable compared to many Southern Nigerian women. He pointed out that in Ghana, and some other countries, women are capable of expressing love without expecting monetary compensation from men.
Moreover, Omokri highlighted the potential impact of visa-free or visa-on-arrival access in Nigeria, suggesting that it could lead to an increase in unmarried women in the country. He argued that Nigerian men who travel within Africa may encounter women who are not solely motivated by financial considerations, influencing their preferences.
Why Moses Bliss married from Ghana and not Nigeria
“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 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 commercialisation of romance I have seen in Southern Nigeria. I call it as I see it!”
