Reno Omokri Sparks Debate With Comments On Virginity, Marriage Values

Social commentator and influencer Reno Omokri has sparked mixed reactions online after asserting that the greatest gift a wife can offer her husband is her virginity.

Speaking on the value of virginity in relationships, Omokri highlighted its significance in building strong and enduring marriages.

He dismissed public ridicule as trivial, referencing the Yoruba concept of ‘Erin Ika’, and emphasized that maintaining moral integrity outweighs the pursuit of fleeting social approval.

He said: “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.”

He emphasised that a woman’s virginity is the greatest gift she can offer her husband, noting that entering marriage with such purity enhances the bond between them physically, spiritually, and emotionally creating an almost mystical connection.

He further said: “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!” He added .

Omokri’s remarks have ignited widespread discussion online, with many praising his moral stance while others criticised his views as outdated and gender biased.
