"We Have Normalised Paying Millions In Bride Price For Something That One Man Ate For Free With Less Than โฆ5000". Popular social critic, Reno Omokri writes to Nigerian men.
"If Southern Nigerian men travel widely, I don't know if they will still have an appetite for Nigerian women. Please fact-check me. In India, no matter how beautiful a woman is, you are not paying any bride price if you marry her. Rather, her family will give you a dowry for marrying their daughter. Again, I strongly encourage you to fact-check me. And mind you, Indians don't play with bridal vรญrginity. Sad to say, they can k!ll their own daughter if it turns out that after paying a dowry to a man to marry her, she is discovered not to be a virgin. Meanwhile, in Southern Nigeria, we have normalised paying millions in bride price for something that one man ate for free with less than โฆ5000. Men and women were not created equally by God. You do not have to like it. I am not even sure I like it. You just have to accept the truth. It is an honourable thing for a woman to lose her Vรญrginity to her husband. Save it for the marital bed, not one bush close to your campus, or his car parties by the road!".
