ONE of the lead Counsels of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has accused a social commentator, Mr. Reno Omokri, of consistently making insulting and derogatory posts against the Igbo and presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in last year’s general elections, Mr. Peter Obi, for financial gains.

Ejiofor, in a statement on Friday, August 9, said the former presidential aide earns his major income from impression revenue he receives from Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) after making his “controversial and unfounded claims.”

According to Ejiofor: “Reno deliberately crafts insulting, derogatory and disdainful posts targeting the Igbo 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.”

He insisted that comments and engagements from Ndigbo would only promote Reno’s business by sustaining traffic and popularity on his platforms, adding: “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.

“Here is what you can do to stop Reno and his business: 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.”
