In a bold admonition, Catholic priest Fr. Kelvin Ugwu has condemned the marriage between Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels as a transaction, not a union.

According to him, their arrangement was based on what each wanted — wealth and status for her, virginity and prestige for him.

No surprise then, he says, at present troubles. The sermon resonates deeply in a society where large weddings often overshadow the substance of marriage itself.

The post read in part, “Ned is obsessed with virginity. Gina is obsessed with wealth.

“In an interview with Seun of Channels, Ned revealed that he can’t marry someone who is not a virgin. A non-virgin is a turn-off to his “royal” blood.
“In a social media video, Gina alluded that she would rather cry in a Lamborghini. A keke broke driver has no chance to her “sexy” body.
“Luckily, or should we say, providentially…
“Ned met Gina,
“Gina met Ned.
“Ned has wealth, what Gina wants.
“Gina has virginity, what Ned wants.
“The requirements on both sides were met.
Their hotspots and Bluetooth were compatible for pairing.

“They paired. Transfers were made. Results were visible:
“Ned looked fulfilled and proud to show us offspring that emanated from his “virginic” exploration. Gina was happy at last and was proud to flaunt the dollars, Ferrari, and G-Wagon that emanated from her “ancestral” exploration.

“Ordinarily, none of them ought to complain. Their “wants” were met. They both got what they were pricing in the market. What they ordered was exactly what they got.

“But, and this is a very big BUT.

“Both of them have Okpolo eyes (the eyes of a frog). They want to eat their cake and have it.

“The problem between Ned and Gina is that of defining something with the wrong term.

“Ned and Gina used the term “Marriage” to define what they shared. But, if we are to be critical, bearing in mind what marriage ought to be, it is an abuse of the word. If “Marriage” was to stand and talk, Marriage would have sued Ned and Gina for abuse.

“What Gina and Ned had or still have is not marriage. It resembles it, but resemblance does not make it it.”
