Without a doubt, it has now become a norm for prophets, pastors and other clerics to make bold assertions tagged prophecies at the end of a year or beginning of a new one regarding events that have yet to unfold.  Expectedly, the year 2021 was not short of such prophecies.  However, SaharaReporters observed that many of the pastors were more careful with their prophecies this year following the backlash they got in 2020, as none of them made a direct reference to COVID-19 and its effect, in their prophecies.  Nigerians are known to be very religious people. A report by Council on Foreign Relations noted that religion is central to the lives of most Nigerians, whether they self-identify as Christian or Muslim.  Particularly for the Christian citizens, many look forward to these prophecies which are customarily focused on politics, economy, natural disasters and general optimistic predictions about the future of religious adherents. However, while some of the prophecie...

Former Nigerian presidential aide, Reno Omokri is of the opinion that a virgin bride is the only one that is deserving of a full bride price. According to him, the highest valued wife is a wife who is married as a virgin. He shared this thought on his IG page. He wrote: ''Dear men, Look at the Alaafin of Oyo. 83, and still having babies. Therefore, never accuse any woman of marriage desperation. Your timeframe and her’s are not the same. You are being selfish if you date any woman for five years without genuine hope for marriage. However, ladies should not give men sex as a means of luring them to marriage. Everyone is equal as human beings, but not all wives are equal. The highest value wife, according to Scripture, is a virgin wife. She is the ONLY Wife of which full bride price should be paid-Exodus 22:17. Traditionally, the White Wedding dress is ONLY for virgins''
