Nigerian human rights activist, Reno Omokri, has advised against helping poor men who are married with many children.
The former presidential aide, in a post shared via his Twitter handle this morning, said men who are poor and yet married with many kids need to suffer to be a lesson to other people in their ‘class’.
According to him, people need to stop justifying helping such people to help them learn and know better than to have kids they can’t cater for.
“Stop justifying giving help to a poor man because he has a wife and many kids. Let him suffer! Such a man needs to suffer, so that other people see him suffer and learn not to have kids they can’t cater for. Or we will have MORE of such in society, if you help them
If you keep helping men for the sole reason that they are poor and have many kids, their mentality will be: born as you like, God will use people to help you train them. Your ‘kindness’ feeds that mentality, and creates a population explosion leading to insecurity!” Reno tweeted.
Meanwhile, Nigerian music video director and cinematographer, TG Omori, has said people should do away with cameras when helping the needy.
Omori, who stated this in a tweet on Tuesday, May 17, while addressing several societal issues, said acts of giving or helping the poor shouldn’t be publicized.

Grace David Bolu, the wife of the Sound Engineer, David Imoh, who was lynched and set ablaze by commercial motorcyclists in the Lekki area of Lagos state over N100, has spoken up.
The mum of two granted an interview with Guardian NG, where she explained what transpired on the tragic day of the incident.
The 36-year-old, who works as a senior Technical Officer at Ijede Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Ikorodu, Lagos, disclosed that the incident happened on Thursday, May 12.
According to her, the claims that her husband was a passenger of the motorcyclist is false, as he only came out to help his colleagues who were being beaten by the motorcyclists.
She also alleged that Beer Barn, the social pub where her husband went to play on that ill-fated day, turned him away when he tried to run inside to escape the angry mob.
Her words:
“I got to know about the incident on May 13, 2022, through his colleague, Melvin. I was in the church at Ajao Estate when the call came in.
“My husband only came out of Beer Barn to intervene when his colleagues were being beaten over N100 change and they started calling them yahoo boys and ritualists.
“My husband was inside the bar setting up instruments, while two of his colleagues were the ones that patronized the motorcyclist and had an argument with the motorcyclist over N100.
“The motorcyclist had agreed to convey them to their destination for a fee of N400, but they gave the bike man N500. He told them he does not have N100 balance and Dave’s colleagues persuaded him to accept N300, which was the only change with them with the promise to balance him N100 next time they come to the area to play, but motorcyclist refused. So, they started arguing.
“When the situation degenerated, some people ran inside to call the rest of the members of Legacy 360 band, which my husband was part of. They stepped out with the hope of rescuing them, but when they got there, they discovered that riders were more than the number they could handle. My husband and others ran back into the bar, but instead of the manager to help them, he sent my husband back that he doesn’t know him.
“When the manager pushed my husband out, his other colleagues were rescued, they unleashed the anger of not catching his colleagues on him.”
“My husband was not just beaten, they put tyres on him as if he was a robber.
The bereaved woman, who is still shaken by the sad incident, described her husband as a loving and caring husband and father who would go any length to help people.

Sometime ago, I was involved in a car accident in Abuja. I suffered a concussion to my head and had to wear sunglasses for a while. When taking pictures with others, I would leave my sunglasses on and many complained that I didn’t want my face to show in pictures with them. Some even assumed I was being proud, being a star 😃 They were totally oblivious of the true situation. Not all things are truly what they appear to be. Many are hiding alot and showing the best side on social media. Focus on the majors and forget the minors. Thank God
everyday for all blessings, great and small.

The Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Sunday Babaji, who spoke to newsmen, revealed that the female suspect, Jennifer, conspired with the other two male suspects and murdered the victim so as to be with the victim’s partner, Edward Achadu.
The police said Jennifer who is Edward’s alleged ‘estranged lover,’ poured corrosive substance on Stephanie in a bid to separate her from Edward.
The CP said the Maitama Division had on April 15, received information about the body of a middle-aged lady lying on the road.
Following the receipt of the information, Babaji said, crime scene investigators (CSI) were quickly dispatched to the area and transferred the body to the hospital, where a doctor on duty verified her death.
He stated the initial attempt to profile the victim’s face failed owing to her disfigured face, which he felt was caused by exposure to a corrosive substance.
According to the CP, a discreet inquiry revealed that the dead is Terungwa Stephenie, a 26-year-old Corp member who lived with Edward Achadu at City Homes estate Lokogoma.
He said it was discovered that she left home with her one year and five-months-old son on April 14 and never returned home. A day later, the son was recovered at Holy Trinity Catholic Church upon a call placed through to one of the Paternal relatives.
The CP stated that discrete and painstaking Investigations by Tactical and Intelligence assets of the Command attached to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID) led to the arrest of three suspects.
Babaji said the suspects criminally conspired and murdered the victim to separate her from Edward Achadu to pave way for the female suspect and estranged lover of Edward, Jennifer Temba, to have him to herself.
According to him, investigation has been intensified to reveal groundbreaking facts that could lead to the arrest of fleeing participant(s) in this criminal act.
He said the suspects would be charged to court upon the conclusion the investigation.
However, the female suspect told newsmen that the deceased only came to her house to collect phone the day she was found dead and denied any involvement in the act.
She said the male suspects were the ones that told her that they wanted to kidnap the deceased to demand for ransom.

Boom! I decided to register for JAMB in order to compete with his score line😂😂 Funnily, it made the young man to sit up when he saw me reading, browsing for points and sharing ideas with him😍😍
As an art student, I had to make efforts to study the latest recommended African/non African literary – novels, plays, poems etc from 2022 – 2025🥺🥺. I must confess, it wasn’t easy. But it was worth it 🍉🍉
Right now, everyone is waiting for JAMB results to be released so that the challenge will be completed. I pray we both cross the margin line successfully because there is a reward attached to the highest JAMB score💃💃💃🎉
