Former presidential media aide, Reno Omokri, has mentioned that men were not created to be lovers but to be providers.
In a post shared on X, the former presidential aide stated that when a man provides for his lover or family, he automatically provides love as well. He shared this opinion while arguing that love is never sufficient for a marriage.
‘’Love is NEVER sufficient to build a marriage,” he mentioned via his post. He continued, “There are other more important things. Like emotional maturity and financial stability.”

“A marriage without love can last if there is maturity and fiscal strength. But it cannot last if there is love without money and being emotionally hardy. Look back to your grandparents. Were they in love? But their marriage lasted eighty years,” he wrote further. In conclusion, “God did not create man to be a lover. He made him a provider. By providing money, he also provides love!”

Reno Omokri’s Political Career
Omokri was a Vice President of Joe Trippi and Associates, a U.S. political consulting firm.
As the Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan, he was noted for using social media to conduct surveys and draw attention to the projects of the Nigerian Government.
On New Year’s Day 2025, Reno Omokri became the first Nigerian citizen to abseil down the Victoria Falls and climb back up with nothing other than ropes and a harness. He did this to promote awareness for Africans to travel within Africa.
The feat was captured on video, and James Chinotimba, the Manager of Abseil Victoria Falls, witnessed, documented, and verified the record with his staff.
The extreme adventure traveller is previously known for hiking up the Inca Trails in Machu Picchu, Peru, and the treacherous slopes of the Phnom Kulen mountain range of Cambodia. Mr. Omokri also hiked in Nepal and flew over Mount Everest in 2019.
