Author and TV host, Reno Omokri, has condemned the Paris attacks while urging Africans and Asians to set themselves free from mental slavery.
The former media aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, said it is a display of low self esteem for Africans and Asians to put French flags on their profile as a result of the Paris attacks when they do not put their own nation’s flag on their profile when terrorists attack their own nations.
“Terrorism is evil and condemnable. But we should not only cry when it happens in rich nations. We should treat it the same wherever it occurs. I sympathize with France, but why are Africans and Asians putting French flags on their profile when they do not put their own nation’s flag on their profile when terrorists attack their own nations? Are French lives more precious than their own brothers and sisters who are killed daily by home grown terrorists like the satanic Boko Haram and Al Shabab,” he queried.
The New Media savvy preacher, added that Africans and Asians should stop worshiping the Europeans.
“Africans and Asians should remember the words of Bob Marley and “emancipate yourself from mental slavery”. Terrorism is bad everywhere and not just in Paris. In every area of our lives we exhibit this low self esteem. We celebrate and worship European soccer and denigrate our own leagues. Now we sympathize with European victims of terror and are indifferent to our own victims. In Nigeria there are 1.5 million citizens displaced by terror. Cry for them first my brothers and sisters,” he said on his Facebook post.

Reno Omokri . You are the slave and same time bias with evil inside of you. When Boko Haram first Strike I believe 99.9 Nigerians where against it and came on social media to sympathise with affected family. Same way Nigeria went on social media when over two hundred girls where kidnapped. Which result to hag tag #BringBackOurGirls. Not just in Nigeria and Africa. It was campaign world over. World president, actors, actress and celebrities where all against it. Despite the lackadaisical way Nigeria Government and her army is handling the fight against Boko Haram. Boko Haram like you said are home grown terrorist while that of France is foreign terrorist they attack France cos France is against them. Never say Boko Haram attack Nigeria instead they are there in the North killing. Yet borders are open for them to escape and reinforce to come back. Not less than 3 days they are fishing out the terrorist , their families and how they entered France. Over 3yrs what has Nigeria Government and army have to show to Nigerians and Africa about Boko Haram? Nothing. We heard they are being sponsored by some politicians. How many of these so called sponsors have they arrested and questioned or jailed? None. Nigerians are sick and tired of complaining or waiting for good news from our leaders and army. So they have to live, sleep with eyes open praying for God intervention. Cos anything can happen over night.

ReplyDeleteLook at you Mr Reno, you are far away in the USA advising us of freeing ourselves of mental slavery. Who is suffering from mental slavery if not someone like you. Nothing is wrong with showing solidarity to the French people by flying their flag on Facebook. Wake up dude!
