esnbrutality:

Finally I hailed the cho cho cho King of Nairaland.

May you live long on Nairaland.

esnbrutality:
13 KINGs killed..

No be cho cho cho

Another lie from a cho cho cho King on Nairaland.

Name the 13 killed.

QuinQ:
I've seen at least two Nigerians say they entered UK with SA passports

Name the Nigerians. Anyone can fabricate an untruth on SM, most especially QuinQ.

esnbrutality:
We have started counting your own ...

The ones your esnbrutality eliminated in your villages can never match up to the SW, even if you counts to your grave.

Just because I said Aunty Remi to shake body and send something, Nairaland bots threw me away. I don't usually write on a post again once bots says my write up is smelling, but this one touches me , so Aunty Remi biko help give this child First Class rehabilitation. Ese pupo.

Anty Remi Tin no dey read Nairaland. Send your memo directly to Aso Rock.

The Czech's team are not that fantastic too, but the early own goal might be their saving grace.

Diezani should leave God out of it. If man could not convict her for her atrocities while in govt because of her topnotch lawyer, heaven has her complete records of them. And she can't escape the final judgment, unless she repent and restitutes all she stole like Zacheus the taxmaster in the Bible.

Kobicove:
Ma how much dem don steal from you?

The way you are defending GTB upandan on dis thread, maybe you are working with them, or a major shareholder with the bank.

I am supporting England to win the WC, though it might be impossible.

This is great, no one expected her acquittal. That's the beauty of the western jury system.

This is the eldorado moment that RandDigital and IronGalaxy are expecting to happen after they have hatefully expel all foreigners from their country.

Not a fan of VDM, because I am an old schooler, but I like his radicalizing our youths towards the protest culture in the country. Nigerians are too complacent to our leaders failures. This needs to change.

According to a report by Vanguard on June 16, 2026, Ambassador-designate to Mexico and former presidential aide Reno Omokri has publicly responded to Afrobeats star Davido following a heated social media exchange that emerged from differing views on advocacy efforts related to abducted schoolchildren.

The disagreement, which attracted significant attention across social media platforms, began after Omokri criticized comments and advocacy messages associated with the award-winning musician during a FIFA World Cup-related event.

His remarks sparked a reaction from Davido, leading to a public confrontation that quickly became a trending topic among supporters and observers.

The controversy has generated widespread discussion about the role of celebrities in public advocacy, as well as the responsibilities that come with using influential platforms to address sensitive national issues.

In a statement released through his social media account on Tuesday, Omokri addressed the singer directly, expressing concern over the nature of the response he received. He said he was surprised by the language reportedly used by Davido during the exchange, arguing that individuals who enjoy international recognition should be mindful of their conduct in public conversations.

According to Omokri, public figures wield significant influence and are often held to higher standards because of the impact their words can have on audiences around the world.

He maintained that discussions involving humanitarian concerns, particularly those affecting vulnerable victims and their families, should be approached with care, dignity, and mutual respect.

The former presidential aide stressed that disagreements are inevitable in public discourse, especially on issues that evoke strong emotions. However, he argued that differences of opinion should not result in personal attacks or the use of offensive language.

Omokri further highlighted Davido’s achievements in the global music industry, describing him as one of Nigeria’s most recognized cultural exports.

He noted that the singer’s international success has earned him a platform that extends far beyond entertainment, placing him in a position where his words and actions are closely watched by millions of people.

He suggested that such visibility carries responsibilities that go beyond music, particularly when engaging with topics that attract national and international attention.

According to Omokri, celebrities often serve as unofficial representatives of their countries and can influence perceptions through their public conduct.

The dispute originated from Omokri’s earlier criticism of Davido’s advocacy efforts concerning abducted schoolchildren during a FIFA World Cup-related concert. Omokri had questioned the context and presentation of the message, raising concerns about how such advocacy campaigns are framed before global audiences.

Davido’s response to the criticism subsequently intensified the conversation, resulting in an exchange that quickly spread across social media networks. The incident prompted reactions from fans, commentators, and public affairs observers, many of whom weighed in on the broader issues of celebrity activism, accountability, and freedom of expression.

As the debate unfolded, supporters of both men defended their positions. Some argued that public figures should be encouraged to use their platforms to draw attention to important social causes, while others emphasized the need for careful messaging and constructive engagement when addressing complex national issues.

Despite the public disagreement, Omokri insisted that his concerns were not directed at Davido personally. Rather, he said his comments were focused on the manner in which advocacy campaigns are conducted and communicated to the public.

He maintained that influential personalities should exercise caution when discussing matters involving victims of tragedy or issues that carry significant national sensitivity. In his view, thoughtful and respectful communication can help ensure that important causes receive attention without creating unnecessary controversy.

The former presidential aide also warned that confrontational exchanges on social media can sometimes distract from the underlying issues being discussed. He argued that when public debates become overly personal, the original concerns risk being overshadowed by the conflict itself.

Reaffirming his position, Omokri called for greater civility in public discourse and urged influential figures to engage critics with restraint, regardless of the circumstances. He emphasized that constructive dialogue remains essential in a society where public conversations increasingly take place on digital platforms.

In his final remarks directed at the music star, Omokri expressed disappointment over what he described as the tone of Davido’s reaction. While acknowledging the singer’s contributions to Nigeria’s global image, he argued that personal insults should have no place in discussions involving matters of public interest.

“You are an international celebrity whom Nigeria is proud of. Coming to insult me on my Instagram profile with such vulgar words should be beneath you,” Omokri stated.

BarrElChapo:
You are right bro, I see three women now 😁

Your cataract is getting worse, sue your ophthalmologist.

The match is not exciting, unlike the Belgium Egypt match yesterday.

Too boring, France is going nowhere this tournament if this is their level of playing.

BarrElChapo:
I see two men and a woman in the Center. Congratulations Njide

Change your eyeglasses, it is turning you blind. There were two beautiful women and a handsome man in the pic.

bjdon:
Dream on bro. If you do that, you will suddenly see Tiv fighting Fulani, Ijebu fighting Ibadan, Esan fighting Bini, Ijaw fighting itsekeri, Anambra fighting Ebonyi....
Tribalism is deeply ingrained in us sadly

Not in Yorubaland, they won't fight each other.

Let's separate for once into at least 6 nations, and relocate each tribe to their region. Peace will reign, tribalism and violence will cease or be almost eliminated, and economic development and positive competition among the separated nations will speedily start.

IronGalaxy:
Don't dare tell us what our problem are.. dont dare patronize us, South Africa is also the least of your problems, your problem is your oppressive government and the bandits tearing your country apart.. focus there

When the retaliation comes against your country men across the world in years to come (because it will surely come), l hope your won't be here on Nairaland shouting discrimination and negative profiling of your people, the way you are gloating concerning other nationals predicament in your country.

Now that you are delirious that other nationals are treated like refugees in your country, when that time comes, enjoy it too.

kpankpangolo:
You sure she was mentally okay? I know Africans believe chaining a mentally ill person is a temporary solution. If the symptoms don’t go, at least the person will remain hidden to avoid disgracing his/her lineage.

You always find excuse for every unimaginable crime committed by your people. Be humane for once.

Chochocho:
From all this your comments one will tell your hatred for Igbos without even mentioning it , I will advice you free your mind from hate before it consumes you

Where did he mention Igbo in his comment? Your victim mentality is way too high. Minimise it.

oluwaseyi0:
Underdogs are not performing too badly in this tournament

Yeah, see Cape Verde, see Egypt performing far above expectations today against the star studded teams of Spain and Belgium. The pundits were surprised with their draw matches.

stanluiz:
Fulani militas are the nuclear bombs that is bombarding them.

From average person to school children and teachers then follow by pastors and traditional rulers. Everybody dey collect for SW.

When you were collecting yours from the IPOB UGMs and the Simon Ekpa's auto pilots, the whole Nigerians were pitying you. No it is your turn to make fun of the other regions facing bandits incursion. Remember they are around your backyards too, therefore don't assume that your region is inviolable.

stanluiz:
You have said it all.

Soludo lacks that aspect of wisdom. He will go into political oblivion the moment his second tenure ends in 2030.

OK.

stanluiz:

It is a lie, Soludo or Umahi will be the first Igbo politician that will rule Nigeria. All other regions are in support of them because of their liberal and non tribal attitude to politics.

Olamideayomide:
My advise to everyone please don't allow this evil people called terrorists to kidnap you o.
It's not glaring that our government don't care about us again and I believe our military suppose to take proactive steps on this insecutiy issue.
Question is:
Why waiting till they kill the general before they started the whatever operation they call it?
How many bandits leader have they killed when they burst their hideout?

Our government are not sincere.

If you like don't choose wisely next year.

And who is the Rambo between Atiku and Obi that you believe will enter the jungle to kill all the bandits and the insurgents? Is it not the same compromised army they will inherit?

dozymars:
Umahi does not represent South East. Tinubu only has 1 vote from South East and that vote is from Umahi.

E go shock u when the results trickle in in February 2027, u go nearly faint.

Speaking as no fan of Tinubu, but dat na the reality.

What is apparent is that Tinubu is not Jonathan. To win him, an incumbent president, requires God's intervention. Without that, with 31 governors on his side, he is a shoo-in for the presidency in 2027, and with high margin too.
