Why Reno Omokri Is ‘Attacking’ Igbos, Peter Obi – IPOB Lawyer Reveals

Human Rights Activist and legal counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has asserted the reasons why former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, is consistently making derogatory comments, posts targeting the Igbos and also attacking the personality of former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi.

In a statement signed and issued via his X handle on Friday, Ejiofor highlighted that Omokri, a content creator, intentionally engages in damaging the image of the Igbos and Obi, for financial gains.

According to him, Omokri’s mission is to drive traffic to his posts to promote his online business and get the desired engagements for remunerations.

The IPOB lawyer advised Nigerians, especially the Igbos, to ignore Omokri’s further provocations on his social media pages.

According to him, their silence speaks volumes as this will amount to Omokri losing the engagement he has always enjoyed. He equally tells Nigerians to unfollow the self-proclaimed pastor and deny him the satisfaction of their attention.

Ejiofor’s Post reads:

“ATTENTION UMUIGBO! Udo diri unu, umunnem umuigbo, ndi oga adirimma.

“Meet Reno Omokri a renowned content creator whose major source of sustenance is from the financial gains he repeatedly records from your reactions on his Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), controversial/unfounded claims.

“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. Your comments and engagements will inevitably promote his business by sustaining traffic and popularity on his platforms which will make way for steady returns on his chosen career, which usually runs into millions of Naira and USD. 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.

“As an Igbo Man, you hold the power. Use your brain and stand together to diminish his influence. Let this message go viral and take back control from those who exploit our community for their gain.”
