Reno Omokri, a Nigerian author and lawyer, recently expressed his views on white/church weddings through his social media platform.
The former presidential aide conveyed his belief that a church wedding is not obligatory, urging people to liberate themselves from religious bondage.
Contrary to popular belief, Omokri asserted that a pastor or prophet cannot confer holiness upon a marriage.
Instead, he emphasized that the only individuals capable of bestowing such sanctity are the parents of the married couple.
In a series of tweets, Omokri stated:
"Someone said church wedding is necessary because pastors are God's representatives on Earth. To that man, my question is this: What are your parents? Devil's representative? No blessing on Earth is greater than a parent's blessing. After God, parents"
While Omokri's remarks challenge the notion of a church wedding's significance, he emphasizes the importance of parental blessings and their role in the marital union.
However, numerous people didn't agree with his view of things while some did see reasons in his words.
It is worth noting that Omokri's views reflect his personal beliefs and perspective on the topic, and they are intended to encourage critical thinking and reevaluation of societal norms surrounding weddings and religious practices.
