Reno Omokri, a Nigerian novelist and attorney, recently published his thoughts on white/church weddings on social media.Information Guide Nigeria
The former presidential assistant encouraged individuals to break free from religious enslavement by stating that a church wedding is not essential.
Contrary to popular opinion, Omokri argued that a pastor or prophet cannot put holiness on a marriage.
Instead, he emphasised that only the parents of the couple marrying are qualified to bestow such sanctity.

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 parent’s blessing. After God, parents”
Omokri’s remarks call into question the importance of a religious wedding, although he emphasises the importance of parental approval and their role in the marriage.
However, many individuals disagreed with him, and some did so for genuine reasons.
It is crucial to note that Omokri’s thoughts reflect his personal perspectives and beliefs on the subject and are designed to spark debate and urge a reconsideration of social conventions around marriage and religious rites.NYSC Portal
