Former presidential aide and social commentator, Reno Omokri, has cautioned men to be deliberate and discerning when choosing a life partner, warning against marriages anchored solely on financial dependence.
Omokri offered the advice in a post shared on his social media platforms, where he urged men to avoid marrying women who view marriage primarily as a means of funding expensive lifestyles or shouldering extended family responsibilities.
Drawing a clear line between what he described as a “buddy” and a “burden” in marriage, Omokri advised men to seek partners who are committed to building a shared future through mutual contribution, rather than those who expect one-sided financial sponsorship.
“Dear men, marry a woman who wants a husband and life partner, not one who wants a financier for her expensive lifestyle someone to take care of her parents and siblings and shoulder all her future demands,” he wrote.
The commentator stressed that marriage is a partnership that requires effort and value addition from both spouses, noting that a healthy union thrives on shared responsibility rather than total dependence on one partner’s resources.
He further argued that happiness alone should not be the foundation of marriage, describing it as temporary and often shaped by changing circumstances.
“It is not the best idea to marry someone who makes you happy. Happiness depends on happenings and, therefore, is not stable. Instead, marry someone who adds value to you. Value lasts and can lead to joy, which is a stable form of contentment,” Omokri stated.
According to him, the true character, compatibility, and expectations of a partner often become more evident after marriage, particularly when couples begin living together and navigating real-life responsibilities.
