“This election says a lot about the power of the Christian bloc vote” – Reno Omokri says

Reno Omokri says

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has opined that the 2023 presidential election says a lot about the power of the Christian bloc vote.

In a post shared via his Instagram page, Reno asserted that even though Christians heavily supported Peter Obi and voted for him in the election, he didn’t win which speaks numbers about the influence of Christians in Nigeria.

According to him, despite the fact that the votes of Nigerian Muslims were split between three Muslim candidates, Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and Rabiu Kwankwanso, one of them still won the election.

Reno Omokri says

Reno further advised Christians not to play the religion card in future elections because it won’t serve them well.

Sharing a photo of Labour party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, with Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor Paul Enenche, Reno wrote;

“The Islamic vote was divided three ways amongst Waziri Atiku, Asiwaju Tinubu and Kwankwaso. Meanwhile, the Christian vote was largely united behind Obi. Yet, look at the result! No matter the provocation, Christians must NEVER allow future elections be about religion. It will not serve us well! We are in the heat of the moment and people are not yet thinking calmly. When you say these obvious truths, some of the very people who would benefit are the first to insult you with the vilest abuse. But no matter how we sugarcoat it, this election says a lot about the power of the Christian bloc vote.

Oya, insult me. The people that don’t know how to insult know how to vote and we are seeing their power.”

In other news, controversial media personality, Solomon Buchi, has berated popular music executive, Don Jazzy, for not being vocal about the election.

Solomon, in a series of tweets, tackled Don Jazzy for being quick to use his platform to promote half-naked girls, but keeping mute about the 2023 election.

According to Solomon, eventhough he has huge respect for the Mavin Records Boss, he believes he should have done more to encourage people to participate in the electoral process, rather than going radio silent.

The social media commentator tweeted,

“I like Don Jazzy’s personality and what he’s done in the Nigerian secular music space. However, how are you so swift to promote young girls on IG displaying their bodies, always shaking bum and boobs. But not same energy towards the elections.

I’m not saying you must support PO, but at least ginger the youths, the same way you promote young girls that have lost shame on Instagram. It’s exasperating to see us major on minors and minor on majors.

I am saying, sensitize young people to take political involvement as much as they do with doing rubbish on Tiktok. As a social critic, I see how important it is for culture shapers/influencers to encourage the masses. It boosts morale. Influence should not be wasted.”

“Why I decided to stay in South Africa and not work in Nollywood” – BBA star, Tayo Faniran

Big Brother Africa star, Tayo Faniran revealed that he turned down acting chances in Nollywood because he was earning more money overseas.

He claimed that after the reality TV show finished, he could have easily gotten a role in a Nigerian film, but he chose to stick with his more profitable modeling job in South Africa.

However, Tayo claimed that because he was not a resident of the nation, he was not given as much exposure as they do for their citizens.

He said;

“Nollywood was there for me after I won BBA. However, I was living in South Africa then and working as a model, so I was earning more money. The entertainment industry in South Africa was doing well, and Nollywood was not attractive to me at that time. Hence I didn’t pursue it then.
Unfortunately, the same South Africa I wanted badly did not project me the way they would have projected their citizen. Nigeria is my home. At a point, I felt I was not getting the things I needed to build my acting career.”

However, Tayo stated that he is currently interested in pursuing an acting profession in Nigeria and that he would give extra performances.

In his words;

“When my fame was at its peak, I had offers to act but I did not desire it at that time. But, with the way I am ‘hungry’ for it now, people should expect good performances whenever they see me in movies. All the roles I have got in Nollywood were by merit. Also, I am ready to learn.”

“It’s nobody’s business if male skit-makers choose to dress like women” – Comedian, DeeOne

Nigerian comedian and ex-Big Brother Naija housemate, Adedayo Aderombi, popularly known as Dee-One, has shared that he does not believe there is anything wrong with male skit makers dressing like women.

He asserted that they are using their creativity, and it was unfair to criticize them for doing so.

DeeOne claimed that since some people found them amusing, it was also no one’s business how content producers choose to practice their art.

He said;

“I don’t think dressing like a woman is wrong. Also, it is not right for anybody to tell another person how to express their creativity. There will be people who find that person funny. If you don’t find a particular comedian funny, just move on. It is nobody’s business. It is about the individual’s creativity and the best way they feel they can express humour. I genuinely find some of them funny.”

The stand-up performer who also operates a comedy club insisted that there is a distinction between skit makers and stand-up comedians.

In his words;

“My comedy club is well attended. Even though skit makers are churning out a lot of content, more people are still attending comedy clubs. They are two different markets. The Gen Z love to go on TikTok to watch skits. However, the people who take out time to attend comedy clubs are much more mature people.”

“Years ago a Nigerian military ruler was acting like he owned the country, when his cup became full God removed him permanently” – Pastor Adeboye writes addressing the general election

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has addressed Nigerians after Saturday’s presidential and national assembly elections.

Pastor Adeboye recounted how a Nigerian military boss felt he owned the nation and went about murdering people as he pleased. He detailed Biblical passages to show how God is greater than earthly leaders. He added that God forever removed him when the military leader’s cup was filled.

The RCCG General Overseer also cautioned those in positions of authority not to let it get to their minds because God is ultimately in control.

He wrote;

“There are many great leaders in this world. However, there is Someone called the Most High, the Almighty (Psalm 91:1). He is higher than the highest (Ecclesiastes 5:8). Isaiah 66:1 says heaven is His throne and the earth is His footstool. According to Revelation 19:16, He is the King of kings. Put in modern terms, He is the President of all the presidents in the world.
The Most High God rules in the affairs of men (Daniel 4:25). In Daniel 4:34-35, the king of the country considered as the superpower in the world at that time confessed that the dominion of the Most High is forever.
Thus, once in a while, when one earthly leader or the other is beginning to feel big and in control, God teaches the fellow a lesson and shows the whole world that He is still in control. God demonstrated through the Coronavirus pandemic that despite the sophistication of the leaders of the world, they are powerless without Him and so they must surrender to His Lordship.
Proverbs 21:1 says He is the one who controls the heart of kings like rivers of water. When an earthly king is beginning to prove stubborn and refuses to bow to His Lordship, He can deal with the fellow in one of two ways. The first is by shifting something in the king’s brain so that he would begin to act like an animal. After a while, when he has learnt his lesson and really seen who is in charge, God would then restore his sound mind and He may even restore his throne too.
This is what happened to Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:30-37. The second way that the Most High can deal with such a king is to harden his heart and then destroy him, using him as an example to the whole world that He is still sovereign. This is what happened to Pharaoh in Exodus 15:4-6.
Something similar happened in Nigeria a few years ago when a military head of state was acting as if he owned the country, killing people and doing as he pleased. When his cup became full, God removed him permanently.
If you find yourself in a leadership position, don’t let it get into your head; always remember God is the one truly in charge.

God is still ruling in the affairs of men and His dominion is forever.”

Omoh I’m grass root to the core and you see those ones they are loyal to the core cos they respect people’s choice and they know I have right to choose whoever I want”
