Legal luminary, Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, claims social media influencer Reno Omokri’s online attacks on Mr Peter Obi and Ndigbo at large are to increase his social media earnings.
Ejiofor said Omokri knows that by provoking the emotions of Ndigbo, there would be reactions, hence Mr Omokri would enjoy more traffics to his handle, thus increasing his earnings.
Ejiofor posted on his Facebook page that, “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.”
To Impoverish Omokri, Ejiofor suggested that “[Ndigbo should] 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.”
