Reno Omokri says according to the scriptures, bride price is only paid for brides who are virgins, IgbereTV reports.

Taking to his Twitter handle on Saturday November 7, he wrote:

"What I am going to say will shock people. Scripturally, Bride Price is ONLY paid for virgins. Don’t argue with me. Argue with God. See Exodus 22:16-17. By virtue of Scripture (and also in traditional African society), you pay no Bride Price for non Virgin.

That's because scripture was written by Arabs and Jews of the Middle East, and it is part of their own culture and custum 2000 years ago


Bride price is a cultural thing and it is dumb to jettison your own culture for Arab and Jewish culture


Just imagine if Biblical Joseph had insisted virgin Mary had a bastard since he never disvirgined her, and he had being close minded forming Alpha Male, will there be bases for religion, will Jesus had have such loving upbringing

Hope you married your wife as a virgin? And I hope your children are virgins... if No, then shut the Bleep up.
Before you come here and start shaking unnecessary tables.
Nonsense
PS- Don't quote me cause I won't be replying.

This thread go hot

Babe forget, the table don already scatter

That's one of the Old Testament laws that no longer hold sway in the New Testament dispensation.

The way this man is being over opinionated about ladies issue, I'm very sure there are a lot of underground FBI agents doing investigation to incriminate him

Kaytixy:
why are you guy or ladies pained? Firstly, to get bleeped by a man who is not ur husband is a great sin. So all of una wey dey tok no he virgin again dat na why una dey vex.

Who's vexing here? I'm for abstinence until marriage, but I know how to spot misogynistic statement when I see one.

HenryThegreat1:

Malachi chapter 3 vs 10 is what testament?

Of course OT, and it's even talking about divorce.

Starhearts:

Wetin dey new testament version

The most visual Bible message that cuts across both testaments about premarital sex is that it's a grievous sin. Payment or no payment of bride price is simply an OT tradition.

Reno at it.
Man has been saying the truth since 1970s

Shock us how? Na Buhari we be?


Let me balance here and observe how this thread go be.

End sharia law anywhere

Guys do you think American will push for the second after homosexual bill


Like reducing the legal marriage age for girls to 12 years old.

And as homosexual was welcome over there so be it with the legal age bill

If we wan follow this law, all the girls wey dey nairaland no go get bride price

Reno Omokri should spare us his sermons.
Man sabi Bleep up sometimes.
What's this one for kwanu

Ok

This man should just say we should not be paying bride price anymore then.. because if that should be the case then only 1 out of 100 will receive bride price....

I agree with Reno.
All this girls with big hole waiting for bride price is a crime.
What should i pay for? Used hole?
You are joking.
Long before i married my wife, I always tell myself that it's either a virgin or i remain single or a single father.
Finally married a virgin.
Non virgins need or deserve no bride price.
They are loosed people

Really there is very little man can demistify based on metaphysical situations or occurrence ...it's more of the more you search the more you realise you need to know more hence the circle is never complete whilst trying to sound metaphysically correct!!!

I focus more on what I have capabilities to do and work towards improving my inner thinking and mindset ....it's the way to go as humans and you can never know it all!!!

This table you are shaking eh... Many people dey on top

If I paid your bride price and you are not found at home my money will be refund even what I spent for the marriage.

Heresies!

That's why Americans and Europeans don't indulge in such practices
Most girls today are veterans in sex
Argue with the Bible verse he(Reno) quoted

This naughty pastor shouldn't let village people hear him o....
He wants to spoil market for those people that like to draw up long lists for intending grooms to settle

How many virgins of marriageable age are left in this entire world sef?

What's tha business?

This same topic was debated on Ashawo beer parlour, and Reno won scripturally

Reno on the beat

Wahala be like bicycle
