Media personality and columnist Reno Omokri has sparked conversation online after sharing his perspective on the significance of virginity in marriage.
Taking to his Twitter page, Omokri highlighted that a woman’s virginity is one of the most valuable gifts she can offer in a marital relationship.
According to him, if a woman brings her virginity to the marriage, she does not need to contribute anything else physically to ensure the stability of the union.
He urged men to “bring the rest” to the relationship, noting that virginity contributes to a husband’s physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being.
“As long as a woman brings virginity to the table, she does not have to bring anything else physically to that relationship to make it stable. You, as a man, should bring the rest. The best gift your wife can give you is her virginity. Once she enters the marriage, that quality adds value to you physically, spiritually, and emotionally. The connection between you and her will be almost mystical,” Omokri tweeted.
He further advised young women to preserve their virginity until marriage, even if peers ridicule them.
“So, my counsel to young people out there, especially, but not exclusively, to females, is this: Keep your virginity until marriage. Your friends may laugh at you, but that laughter is without mirth. It is what the Lukumi Yoruba call Erin Ika.
You can be like them in one minute. But they can never be like you in one million light-years!”
Omokri’s message has reignited debates about traditional values, modern relationships, and personal choices in contemporary society.
