Nigerian author and social media commentator Reno Omokri has stirred online debate with a post advising men not to marry based solely on love unless they are financially prepared.
Known for his thought-provoking commentary, Omokri shared the advice on his Facebook page, urging men to wait until they can “add money to love” before tying the knot.
His post has since gone viral, drawing mixed reactions.
“No woman wants to marry to suffer. It does not make her a gold digger. God put that desire in her,” Omokri wrote. “She is not just thinking about herself. She is thinking about the children. If you have nothing but love, don’t marry. Wait until you can add money to love.”
He argued that women seeking financial stability in a partner should not be criticized, as it reflects natural instincts and responsibility.
While many users praised the post as realistic and wise, others accused Omokri of promoting materialism and reinforcing stereotypes.
The post is one of several social media messages through which Omokri regularly shares his personal philosophies on life, relationships, and success.
