[quote author=Kajaard post=136339481]Lol the man Reno has come again

But there is some truth in what he is saying.

I see no reason why we should be paying bride price for a non virgin [/quote
So In essence what should be paid as rites for a womans head then? Or is he implying a non virgin bride should be given freely by her father?

MrIcredible:
You just contradicted yourself by mentioning Mary. Complete contradiction and nonsense.
Why did you think God didn't pick a non virgin to birth Jesus?
Because God care about purity and chastity and morals.

There's no where in the world a man of value with common sense will pick a girl that has been ran through over a virgin.
Stop deceiving yourself.

The scriptor even said,
BEHOLD, A VIRGIN...

"Stop judging so that you may not be judged!" (Read Matthew 7:1-4)

Sanctimonious Omokri, a man who dumped the wife of his youth for a young woman is the same man sounding so pious and beyond sin!

Nothing wrong in sending a message but it must always be seasoned with salt (Read Collosians 4:6)

Jehovah God hasn't discarded the non-virgins. He still loves them. (Read Psalms 103:8-14, Psalms 130:3-4, Isaiah 1:18, Luke 7:36-50).

Merry100:
In Scripture, women were treated with dignity; Jesus Himself uplifted and respected women regardless of their past. There isn't a single verse in the Bible where God rewarded a woman simply for being a virgin.

Mary being chosen wasn't a reward for her virginity; it was to fulfill prophecy, align with the lineage of David, and emphasize a miraculous birth.

If your logic held, Mary Magdalene wouldn't have been the first to witness the risen Christ. Virginity has never been presented as a qualification to be valued, blessed, or favoured by God.

She was the first yes, but her non-virgin status was punished by Him not allowing her to touch him. Even Thomas that doubted could touch him, but she couldn't. An unmarried non-virgin woman is more unclean than a sane man. Facts
John 20:17-18 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her

Lezzlie:
Mary was chosen for her virginity, same with Sarah. Remember why God made sure Sarah was not defiled all through their journey?

The greatest miracle on Earth is Jesus' virgin birth because God knows women retain the DNA of a man who got them pregnant.

Before you project your limited knowledge and repugnant ideas, get educated.

So you're saying God doesn't want Jesus to be stained by virtue of Mary being rammed by many dicks? Lol

it is established science that women retain DNA of any man who got them pregnant for life whether they carry the pregnancy full term o lr not.

There's a reason people of old require virgin wives. If you check Sarah's journey with Abraham, you will see how God fought that no king slept with er after Abraham's denial. That was so Isaac will not be tainted, same thing with Jesus' birth hence the Son of God will be born pure

. You kind of shifted my line of thinking after reading your contribution. Keep it up.

africanusvu:
, walahi this foolish man is 100% right on this one
I am proud I married a virgin and am enjoying her seriously even after four kids, still very firm

I married single mom,
So if u wanna marry widow, u will not pay any dowry?? Assuming his daughter become single or widow, so she can't remarried again??

So a man who marries a woman who isn't a virgin, might just be having kids who doesn't share the same DNA with him. Small wonder, I've often heard people ask kids who they take after, especially when the kids don't behave like the father.

This is something else bro. Still asking a woman for her body count, is tantamount to looking for her trouble. It's why I get they're very sensitive about that topic. Suffice to say aside science telling us, women know these things. Kai!.

Jay1jay2:
Custom and tradition demands you do it regardless of virginity . This dude is a big time attention seeker

No U are wrong
Custom and tradition demands U return the bride price if the woman is found not to be a virgin on her wedding night.

Premarital sex is very wrong and should be condemned by all.

247man:
He didnt say dont marry non virgins na…. Why e dey pepper u?

He is simply saying if u pay bride price for a non virgin, u are simply helping the guy who dis.virgined ur babe to pay the bride price he owed ur babe’s parents. Chikena.

You said it so casually, but actually, the bible confirmed what you just said...
“If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgins. Exodus 22: 16 - 17 (NKJV Bible).

RedboneSmith:
So in essence, you believe what you are paying for a woman's hymen? I can't tell you how creepy that is.

Nobody cares about a woman's hymen.

What men should be paying for is chastity, discipline, morality and virtuousness.

Enough of gaslighting men. Say no to premarital sex.

Reno has gone back to his calling!
At least he expects his female mates to respond.

First time I would comment on a Reno's topic. He does make sense, but the issue I have with posts like his and others is that they never call out men's lascivious behaviours. If women are to remain chaste and men are to frolick around, how would the women be chaste? Do the men have sex with ghosts?

Emeskhalifa:
So why was non virgin not chosen to carry the child of God?

It wasn't about virgin or non-virgin; it was about Jesus. The virgin birth was a specific condition for Jesus coming into the world, not a way to elevate or favour a virgin or virgins. Mary was simply the kind of vessel that could fulfil that condition.

NotOfThisWorld:
This man is 51-years old. The way old Nigerian men are obsessed with women's virginity is quite creepy. You won't hear Micheal B.Jordan, Damson Idris, Aaron Pierre say something like this. It's always the most unattractive [Nigerian] men, smh.

To be honest, I would have no problem with this if the economy was flourishing. Ironically, in countries with flourishing economies, the old men aren't neck deep into a woman's vagina.

Honestly, Nigeria should become rich so some topics go to rest.

Lmaooooo

See wetin you write?

God didn't not choose Mary because she be virgin but as an olosho abi? It's called the virgin birth of Jesus for God's sake.

Virginity and DNA test are two things that drive you coo-coo and I love it.

He wasn't rewarding her, it was simply to sent Jesus into the world in a miraculous way.

That is why it is called the virgin birth of Jesus for God's sake, not the miraculous delivery experience of Mary😂

muyico:
This man again?? Ur daughter virgin? Your wife married virgin?

yes...he said it several times that he married his Ethiopian wife a virgin

My coz wey marry as a virgin is now a single mother, virginity doesn't keep a man, marriage isn't all about a woman 50/50... Some kind characters from both genders untop marriages will make you know more.
Just like bad women dey bad men self dey period.

Women Are biologically equipped to be with one man. Science doesn't lie and psychology says it all.

Women with many body counts are bound for sadness and unfulfillment.]

Women are the greatest scam on earth propped up by liberal weaklings.

A woman who isn't a virgin is coming as a deficit and humiliation unto her husband.

The greatest thing a woman can give a man is her body.

Jay1jay2:

Which culture and tradition?

As far as I know, Yoruba tradition does not support sex before marriage because at the wedding night, if the husband did not 'meet her at home' , the wedding is null and void and the bride price is returned. That's the essence of the white cloth given to the husband on the wedding night...the white cloth is expected to be stained with blood of to prove virginity

So which culture are you referring to?

Was Reno 2 wives virgins wen he married them? Didnt he do the traditional marriage rites?

Merry100:
😂🤣🤣 Bride price can't even cover groceries for a month, yet some people be emphasizing it like it's a big lottery win.

Bride price is not that deep; it's just tradition. Some families even collect it and hand it right back.

Yes but let all our ladies and Gen'z' know that there was a time people married with virginity, don't think someone will come and pay 1Million plus for retired olosho or call girls or hookups girls as it's call today.

Government should pls make the Law, no virginity to payments on any lady.

reno Omokri’s commentary is a cocktail of misinformation, religious manipulation, cultural distortion, and sexist ideology.

First, his supposed distinction between “dowry” and “bride price” is not universally valid. The terms have overlapping and culturally specific meanings. Across African societies, there are various systems of marriage gifts — lobola, ime ego, diya — and none are strictly defined by “virginity.” His attempt to anchor the legitimacy of bride price solely on a woman’s virginity is historically dishonest and deeply misogynistic.

Second, his biblical cherry-picking to support sexual purity myths is appallingly manipulative. If we are to use biblical law as a yardstick, then we should also endorse slavery, stoning, and polygamy.

Why stop at virginity? Scripture is not a weapon to justify oppressive cultural practices. The Bible also teaches compassion, grace, and love — principles Reno conveniently ignores in favor of patriarchal control.

Third, his claim that a non-virgin woman cannot be a “bride” is both laughable and dangerous. It suggests women’s worth is solely in their hymen. That mindset fuels toxic shame, stigmatization, and violence against women. Bridehood is a social construct, not a biological certificate.

Fourth, his reference to European traditions is laced with irony and ignorance. The same Europe he praises for dowry tradition has long abolished virginity tests, bride prices, and archaic marriage customs. Yet Reno wants Africans to cling to them, proving once again that his “deep thinking” is nothing but a shallow pool of contradiction.

Lastly, the moralistic tone on sexuality and marriage is hypocritical coming from someone who was a presidential media aide during an administration riddled with scandals. Before preaching sexual ethics to millions, he should reflect on the moral rot he defended in government.

You better grow sense.
Why shouldn't I judge?
Why shouldn't you be judged based on your actions?
I judge everyday and I don't mind to be judged.
Judging is very vital for human existence, survival and system. The only reason why we have rules and rule of law is for the purpose of judging.
If you don't want to be judged, watch your ways.

Absolutely not, Jesus forgives and takes away sin completely, He doesn't discriminate. You can't be in Christ and be condemned. If anyone be in Christ...

Why are you using baseless assumptions to disagree? Many of you twist anything just to discredit women; you twist history, the Bible, or anything at all.

You ignored the many Bible translations that say "Do not cling to me" or "Do not hold on to me" and focus only on the one that says "Do not touch me"; just to push a biased interpretation.

The actual Greek phrase Jesus used in the passage literally means "Stop clinging to me." Though, it can also be translated as "Do not touch me" or "Do not hold on to me."

The statement "stop clinging to me" reveals that Mary Magdalene was holding on to Jesus, possibly out of joy or not wanting to lose Him again. But Jesus was gently telling her that things were changing; He was returning to the Father, and from then on, people would relate to Him in a new, Spiritual way, not through physical presence.

If you keep holding on to your ideology, you're indirectly claiming that Jesus lied; because He gave a reason that is not related to your assumptions. He clearly stated: "I have not yet ascended to the Father."

Do you think the same Jesus who clearly told Peter, "Get behind me, Satan," wouldn't plainly tell Mary Magdalene she was unworthy to touch Him because she wasn't a virgin?

Keeping wailing and comparing
You go tey for house and dem do you know table tennis tire...

It has a lot to do, God is not a partial God, He demand purity from both female and male.

They must not hand it all back. They must collect a portion of it, no matter how small. Otherwise, you didn't pay oo. Example, collect#20k, return 19k. Money must enter hand.
