A social commentator, Reno Omokri has claimed that there would be an epidemic of unmarried women in Nigeria if the country had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to more countries.
This he blamed on the “Industrial Money Obtainer culture” of Nigerian women, especially those from the southern part of the country.
He said he was not surprised that popular gospel singer, Moses Bliss married a Ghanaian woman, adding that “their women tend to be easier to relate with than many Southern Nigerian women.”
In an X post on Sunday, Omokri noted that “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.”
He claimed that “Nigerian men are considered a catch by South African and Kenyan women.”
He added: “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!”
