Boyfriends, Husbands are not Financial Partners - Reno Omokri Says

 

 

Controversial former BBC broadcaster, Reno Omokri, has taken a swipe at women who expect their boyfriends to support them financially.

 

According to him, any woman who needs money should rather start a business that would take care of her needs, instead of relying on a lover.

 

Omokri, who was special adviser on social media to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, had tweeted, “Start a business if you want a financial partner instead of getting a boyfriend. A boyfriend aren’t (sic) poverty alleviation scheme #RenosNuggets.

 

He is also of the view that a husband is the head of the home, but even at that, the wife may not be financially dependent on him.

 

As far as Omokri is concerned, a woman must earn any money she needs, independent of the husband — or boyfriend, as applicable. He also advised Nigerians to venture into business and be liberated from poverty.
