Why you can’t be feminist and Christian same time – Reno Omokri explains

Nigerian author and lawyer Reno Omokri has said it’s impossible for a person to be a feminist and a Christian.

He tweeted: “You can be a feminist, or you can be a Christian. But you can’t be a feminist and a Christian. A Christian wife must submit to her husband. A feminist does not submit to a man. Thus, feminism (as is currently defined) cant coexist with Christianity. ”

A follower responded: “Thats your opinion and it’s alright. It been your opinion however doesn’t not make it true for everyone else. I’m a Christian and a proud feminist!”

And Reno replied:

My marriage to my beauty queen wife and my preference for organic food, are my opinions. But the contradiction between feminism and Christianity is not my opinion. Ephesians 5:22 makes it a fact:

“Wives, SUBMIT yourselves to your husbands”

Reno Omokri was one of three spokesmen to the former President, and is credited with pioneering the use of social media for political purposes in Nigeria. He is the only one of those three spokesmen who remained loyal to former President Jonathan after his departure from office, and was described by Newsweek as a “conduit” of Goodluck Jonathan.
