“By constantly engaging him [Omokri] to possibly dislodge his often deliberate falsehood, you become an enabler of his intentions and flourishing business. He is not a patriot in the affairs of this Nation, it is only for business enterprise.
“Here is what you can do to stop Reno and his business: Ignore his provocations. Silence speaks volumes. Unfollow him. Do not give him the satisfaction of your attention. Spread the word. Let others know how he operates” – Ejiofor

Ren Omokri, former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan spreads “deliberate falsehood” and makes insulting and derogatory posts against Igbos and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) to gain traction and money on social media, one of Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has said.
Omokri earns his major income from impression revenue received from Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter) after making his “controversial and unfounded claims,” Ejiofor stressed in a statement at the weekend.
It has also been alleged that Omokri is being paid by the All Progressives Congress (APC) operatives, and especially Bola Tinubu, to rubbish and demarket Obi as part of the President’s plot to win re-election in 2027 by hook or by crook.
Ejiofor advised those who object to Omokri’s dishonesty that the only way to “stop him” is to “unfollow” him on social media to drain out his cash cow.
“Reno deliberately crafts insulting, derogatory, and disdainful posts targeting the Igbos, in his relentless ethnic baiting against Igbos, and the person of Peter Obi.
“Why? Because he knows that by provoking you, he can drive up traffic and engagement on his posts,” he alleged.
Ejiofor argued comments and engagements from Ndigbo promote Omokri’s business by sustaining traffic and popularity on his platforms.
“And to your estimation, you think that a man who earns this outrageous sum will change pattern, he cannot unless YOU STOP HIM.
“His strategy is simple: manipulate your emotions to increase his content’s reach and revenue.
“By constantly engaging him to possibly dislodge his often deliberate falsehood, you become an enabler of his intentions and flourishing business. He is not a patriot in the affairs of this Nation, it is only for business enterprise.
“Here is what you can do to stop Reno and his business: Ignore his provocations. Silence speaks volumes. Unfollow him. Do not give him the satisfaction of your attention. Spread the word. Let others know how he operates.”
