In a recent statement, social commentator and former presidential aide Reno Omokri stirred conversation with a bold perspective on bride price and modern relationships. Referring to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, Omokri suggested that God provided Adam with a virgin wife “for free” and questioned why men today pay a bride price for non-virgin women. He argued that some may have lost their virginity “for free” or for small gifts, challenging the traditional view of bride price.
Omokriβs remarks go further, implying that such attitudes contribute to a lack of seriousness in relationships, leading some men not to care if their wives have affairs. He ended with a warning, stating he would never accept a First Lady involved with “a Baltasar Ebang Engonga in business,” using a colorful expression to emphasize his disapproval of infidelity.
His comments have sparked intense discussions on social media, with some supporting his views on traditional values while others criticize his stance as outdated and insensitive.
Do you agree with Reno Omokri’s perspective on bride price, or do you think his view is too harsh?
