It has become worrisome,  absurd, and irritating to constantly listen to Mr Reno Omokri pontificating about the Labour Party Presidential candidate in the 2023 General Election,  HE Dr. Peter Obi,  (former governor of Anambra state) and an astute Businessman (Trader) who he sees as an enemy for frustrating all his gambled chances to come back to political relevance after 2023. The Peter Obi tsunami that upset the apple cart of many seems to have become a bitter pill for Reno Omokri to swallow like many have done and moved on.

It is very surprising that Reno Omokri suddenly stopped talking about his candidate in the same election,  HE Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (former Vice President of Nigeria and versatile businessman).  He hardly mentions Atiku any longer even though he showed to have loved him so much during the campaigns of 2023, rather he suddenly became a self-assigned spokesperson of Alhaji Ahmed Bola Tinubu (the Nigeria President). 
Does it mean that Reno Omokri is a fair-weather politician whose loyalty is to the highest bidder?

For instance, it is a known fact that he was a staunch supporter of Peter Obi whom he once called “THE MESSIAH” for Nigerians.  But his love later turned to hatred when Peter Obi informed him that he doesn’t give “Shi Shi”, the hatred has grown too thick for comfort and is no longer possible to hide.  The only thing he hasn’t criticized Peter Obi on is how he possibly makes love to his wife at home.

Be that as it may,  Nigerians see through every Nigerian.  If Mr Omokri bothered to stop,  pause, and think,  he should have known by now that people have grown wary of his endless tantrums and inability to be consistent and realistic about the Nigerian political atmosphere and when to keep quiet.  Even if he is paid to constantly attack Peter Obi (who doesn’t even pay heed to his noise),  at least he should apply little sense to it and less emotional outburst so that his playmate’s money can be justified.

During the Okuama Massacre and Reprisals, Omokri was silent 

Strangely, 17 soldiers were killed in Reno Omokri’s home state and some angry soldiers invaded and sacked the whole community in a reprisal attack.  Every Nigerian with a conscience took sides and condemned the atrocities from all sides.  Unfortunately,  Omokri did not tweet about it either for or against the community or the avenging soldiers because for him it was not worth his attention as far as it is not about Peter Obi.  Rather,  he chose the auspicious time to attack Dr. Peter Obi for not celebrating the Naira value gain from N1,900 to N1,600 per dollar,  even when he has no business with Tinubu’s administration in any capacity,  he simply likes crying more than the bereaved.

This singular miscalculation has earned him fierce attacks from Nigerians on social media.  I will avail you of a few so that you can understand how Mr Omokri is now seen in the opinion of reasonable Nigerians.
