Activist and lawyer, Reno Omokri, has chided critics who label women seeking to know more about the finances of their fiancés’ as gold-diggers.
Omokri stated that every would-be bride should be worried about their partner’s income before walking the aisle.
The former aide to Goodluck Jonathan, who made the statement in a tweet he shared on Saturday, further emphasized that a man’s income can either make or mar a marriage.
In his opinion, it is important to discuss such issues before marriage because many divorces and broken homes are caused by rifts arising from lack of money.
He said; “Dear men,
“If you ask a girl to marry you and she enquired about your income, she is not necessarily a gold digger.”
“A wise woman must know the income of her proposed husband because it affects the outcome of the marriage.”
“Most divorces are caused by lack of money.”
