“We stand by our story” – News publication insists Reno had a child with another woman as photo of him with his ‘wife’ at his child’s dedication is compared to other photos of his wife

Earlier today, Nigerian author and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri insisted that a report about him welcoming a child with another woman is false and demanded that the publication be retracted.

However, the publication who broke the news have insisted that they stand by their report as it is factual and authentic. The Will had released a report on Monday, May 17, claiming Reno Omokri abandoned his wife, Tuokpe Omokri and their three children in the US and welcomed a child with a UK-based lover.

The publication released the transcript of an interview they claim they did with Reno’s wife, Tuokpe where she states that she is not the mother of his newborn daughter.

Omokri denied this report on his Facebook and said his reputation is being smeared because he planned to stage a protest against Buhari in Paris.

Reno recently took to Twitter to ask a follower of his who retweeted The Will’s report to delete it from his timeline.

“Please delete it. Don’t propagate their lies on my TL,” Reno wrote.

And The Will responded, “We stand by our story. It is accurate and factual. Your new baby is not from Tope, your wife. We await a formal rebuttal and we will respond. Liar.”

In the same vein, Nigerians have dug out a recent photo of Reno at his child’s dedication with the child’s mother.

The photo was shared earlier this month by ThisDay newspaper which Reno reshared and wrote: “Thank you ThisDay for featuring my wife and I, with our daughter, Weyinmi Ebele, on our baby dedication.”

A handful of Nigerians are of the notion that the woman looks like Reno’s wife, Tope while others say the woman who welcomed Reno’s 4th child is different and looks Ethiopian.

Presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie also weighed in on the controversial topic.

President Buhari seeks new N2.342tr external loan

The president recently touched down France on a four-day official visit to attend African Finance Summit which will be focused on reviewing the African economy, following shocks from the Coronavirus pandemic, and getting relief, due to increased debt burden on countries.

The Summit which is to be hosted by President Emmanuel Macron, will draw major stakeholders in the global Finance institutions and some Heads of Government, who will, collectively, discuss external funding and debt treatment for Africa, and private sector reforms.

The Statement reads in parts,

”Before returning to Nigeria, President Buhari will receive some key players in the oil and gas sector, engineering and telecommunications, European Council and European Union Representative for Foreign and Security Policy and Commission, and members of the Nigerian community.”

While the Governor cannot be held responsible for the actions of a full grown adult, especially outside the jurisdiction of Ogun and Nigeria, he has since suspended the suspect from office to enable him answer the charges levelled against him.

The Governor wishes to condemn any act capable of undermining his determination to institute an open, transparent, accountable and morally upright behaviour in the State and in governance.

Men are getting comfortable with women paying their bills – Singer, Akothee advises young women to stop buying love

Kenyan musician and businesswoman, Esther Akoth professionally known as Akothee, has advised young women to stop investing in men in the name of love.

In a lengthy Instagram post the businesswoman complained about how most men are now comfortable with women paying their bills. According to her, for one to be considered a man in a woman’s world, he must be in a position to provide solutions while the woman supports him.

The founder of Akothee Safaris, noted that there is a big problem when a man is comfortable being broke and expecting his woman to fully support him.

In her words,

“By the way, let me be sincere to you and my apologies if it has landed wrongly. For you to be considered a man in a woman’s world, you must be in a position to provide solutions. Women are meant to support you,” she wrote on Sunday, May 16.

“There is no problem if a woman is working and a man is jobless. But there is a big problem when a man is comfortable being broke and expecting his woman to fully support him. Secondly, holidays feel romantic if it’s a man paying for it, or what do you think? If not let’s stay at home eat at home and use that money for our rent or so so so,”

“Women are suffering in men’s hands. Some come with big investment ideas, and my dear Women are taking loans for their men. Haloo madam jamaa amekuguza wapi,”

“Ni hali ya kutumiana, don’t waste your money investing in whom you don’t see a future with. Madam keep your money for your future. You are too young to buy love. If you start paying for love in your 20s what will you do in your 40 50s? Some men in their 50s also still expect women to take care of them. Grandpa, where is your savings.”

    Reno Omokri reacts to reports that he abandoned his wife and welcomed a child with his lover

    Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has reacted to viral reports alleging that he abandoned his wife and welcomed a baby with another woman.

    The report which made rounds on social media on Monday, May 17th, alleged that the popular writer abandoned his wife in America and welcomed a child with his alleged UK based lover.

    The lawyer has now debunked the rumour, tagging it fake. According to him, he can never engage in premarital or extramarital sex.

    Taking to Facebook, he wrote,

    “Yesterday (Sunday, May 16, 2021), I declared my intention to convene a #HarassBuhariOutofParis peaceful protest, between Monday, May 17, 2021 and Tuesday, May 18, 2021, and this morning we woke up to a salacious and scandalous story about me, that I will not even want to repeat.

    A Nigerian proverb says the bird flew at night, and the baby died in the morning.

    The story is false. If you look at the platform that originally carried the story, it becomes obvious that it is being sponsored by the Presidency, to distract me from going to Paris, because they know that the Africa-France summit is an international platform and any protest will highlight the failures of General Muhammadu Buhari.

    That platform is notorious for pro-government stories. I am not the first perceived opponent of the Buhari administration to be targeted by them, neither will I be the last. You only need to visit the site.

    I have never and can never engage in premarital or extramarital sex. I abhor it. God forbid!

    I am so loathe to even respond to such a malicious attack on me by the Buhari administration. And I will not be baited to talk about private family issues publicly. Suffice to say that I have never had, and will never have a child out of wedlock.

    To me, it is best ignored because the devil is a known liar, and that is who has inspired those behind this story.

    Nobody can break my focus. After we are done with the Paris protest, my lawyers and I will sit down to decide if and when we should sue”.

    “This is victory for everyone” – Baba Ijesha’s lawyer speaks on how he was granted bail

    Adesina Ademola Ogunlana, counsel to embattled actor, Baba Ijesha, has given details on how his client was granted bail by a Magistrate.

    The Nollywood actor who has been in police detention for allegedly molesting comedienne, Princess 14-year-old foster daughter was released on bail on Monday afternoon.

    In a video shared online, his lawyer said,

    “Our client that has been in detention for more than 30 days has been granted bail at the facility of his detention. The magistrate that granted him bail is Chief Magistrate Toyin of the Lagos state Judiciary.

    The Chief Magistrate in partnership with the Ministry of Justice in partnership with a private organization, Police Decongestion Scheme led by a former chairman of the NBA in Ikorodu, Bayo Akinlade, visited Panti and under the decongestion scheme, visited that facility and met Baba Ijesha.

    Something was curious there. His name was not even entered as very much reliably leant. The Chief Magistrate being bold and experienced, demanded to see him and he was brought to see the team. He came towards them limping and as we have described before, he was emaciated and bail was granted to him summarily by the Chief Magistrate and this is very very commendable.”

    According to Ogunlana, the bail was granted essentially on health grounds and the Magistrate said the offense is bailable.

    “The conditions of bail are that Baba Ijesha must have two sureties. One of the sureties must be a level 10 officer, a civil servant. The other one should be a blood relation of the thespian.

    The bail is put as N500, 000 in large sum. It’s not security. It is just a bond that if he should run away, the sureties will pay that. We are very sure he will not run away. The verification is to be done by the OC Legal of the SCID Panti.” He added.

    Speaking further, Ogunlana described the release of his client on bail as good news and a victory for everyone.

    In his words,

    “It is not a victory for Baba Ijesha alone. It is for everybody. Rights must be respected. Laws must be respected. The idea of mob lynching, the idea of lopsided action when it comes to rights and privileges of fellow citizens should be decried”.

    Ogun State Gov. Abiodun’s aide and Lekki big boy arrested over $650m COVID-19 unemployment fraud in the U.S

    A Senior Special Assistant to Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun and former House of Reps aspirant, Abidemi Rufai, has been arrested in the United States for allegedly defrauding the Washington Employment Security Department (ESD) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The 42-year-old —suspected in the $650m unemployment fraud— allegedly submitted dozens of unemployment claims using stolen identities between March and October 2020.

    Rufai aka Sandy Tang used a single Gmail account to file 102 claims for ESD benefits and also used it to file for benefits in 10 other states.

    The suspect allegedly bypassed security systems at ESD using a simple feature of Gmail which allows users to create many additional email addresses simply by adding one or more periods to the original email address.

    Because the Gmail system doesn’t recognize periods, any emails sent to those so-called dot variant addresses are delivered to the inbox of the original Gmail address.

    In Rufai’s case, his original email address — [email protected] — was expanded to include dot variants such as [email protected] and [email protected].

    In January, a federal judge issued a warrant to Gmail, allowing investigators to search his Gmail account. Rufai however let down his guard by linking his Nigerian phone number to the account.

    Although the Gmail account used his fake name, the recovery phone number was the same one he used in his 2019 U.S. visa application. Also, a Google Drive account associated with the Gmail account included the picture he used in the visa application and other government documents.

    It also contained purchase confirmation emails for products that listed his brother’s address in Jamaica, New York, as the billing address. Investigators also found a massive cache of tax returns and evidence that Rufai was allegedly involved in numerous other fraud schemes.

    Bank records show that $288,825 was deposited into his bank account. He was arrested on Friday, May 14, 2021 while trying to leave the U.S. He is facing up to 30 years in prison.
