Reno Omokri Backs Femi Otedola’s Marriage Counsel, Citing Submission as Pillar of Marital Harmony
In a fresh commentary shared on Instagram, former presidential aide Reno Omokri has endorsed billionaire Femi Otedola’s advice on marriage, particularly emphasizing the role of submission in maintaining marital unity.
Responding to Otedola’s address to his daughter, Temi Otedola, at her wedding, where he referred to her husband as her “boss” and urged her not to escalate marital matters outside the home, Omokri highlighted the wisdom behind the counsel:
“Your father is a pauper, yet you say you can’t marry and submit to any man. Femi Otedola is a Dollar billionaire, but he publicly tells his daughter to submit to her husband as her boss.”
Omokri added a cautionary note:
“Think about that, without submission in marriage, there will be division and ultimately a collision that can lead to a major disillusion and the dissolution of the union.”
The remarks reference the high-profile wedding of Temi Otedola and Oluwatosin “Mr Eazi” Ajibade, which included ceremonies in Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland. At their Iceland wedding in August, Otedola famously told his daughter: “He’s your husband and he’s your boss. There’s no more dad. Don’t call me.”
What It Means
Cultural Resonance: Omokri’s endorsement brings attention to traditional views on marital roles, often centered around submission from one partner as essential to harmony.
Support from a Public Figure: Coming from a well-known commentator, this stance adds a layer of validation and sure to spark conversation.
Potential Debate: While some may agree, others could challenge the notion of submission as outdated or hierarchical, particularly in modern, egalitarian relationships.
