Gospel artist Moses Bliss' decision to marry a Ghanaian bride has stirred discussions, fueled by remarks from social commentator Reno Omokri. In an Instagram post, Omokri expressed understanding for Bliss' choice, attributing it to the perceived ease of relating with Ghanaian women compared to their Southern Nigerian counterparts.
Omokri delved into the complex landscape of relationships in Southern Nigeria, pointing out the prevalent belief that expressions of love often translate to financial obligations. He criticized what he termed as the "Industrial Money Obtainer culture" among some Southern Nigerian women, warning against marrying individuals influenced by such attitudes.
The post further highlighted Omokri's observations on the commercialization of romance in Southern Nigeria, urging a cultural reorientation, particularly among women.
The commentary raises questions about the impact of financial expectations on love and marriage in the region, prompting broader discussions on cultural shifts and societal expectations.
