PoliticsDAVIDO Vs RENO: Was Davido Right To Use The FIFA World Cup Stage. by muyico(op): 7:21am On Jun 12
🔥 DAVIDO vs RENO: Was Davido Right to Use the FIFA World Cup Stage to Demand Freedom for Kidnapped Oyo Children — Or Did He Just Make Things WORST
💥 The Moment That Split Nigeria in Two
On the world's biggest sporting stage — the FIFA World Cup Countdown Concert in Los Angeles, in front of a global audience of millions — Nigeria's Afrobeats king did something nobody expected.
Davido appeared on stage wearing a custom jacket inscribed with the names of the victims and the message "BRING THEM HOME" boldly written across the back — drawing global attention to the abduction of 39 schoolchildren and seven teachers in Oyo State. Before his musical performance, he paid a tribute to the tragedy for the international audience, explaining that the names on his jacket represented the captives. He noted with sadness that the names printed in red signified victims who had tragically lost their lives while still in captivity. (FlightGlobal)
The internet erupted. Nigerians wept. The world noticed.
And then Reno Omokri opened his mouth — and Nigeria erupted all over again.
📍 First — What Happened in Oyo State
On May 15, 2026, armed gunmen attacked three schools in Oriire Local Government Area: Baptist Nursery and Primary School in Yawota, Community Grammar School, and L.A. Primary School in Ahoro-Esinle — abducting around 39 pupils, including toddlers, and seven teachers. (YouTube)
Toddlers. Kidnapped from their classrooms. In Nigeria. In 2026.
The principal of one of the schools released distress messages that broke the nation's heart. Some of the children have since been confirmed dead. Others remain in the bush, in the hands of armed kidnappers, as their families wait, pray, and grieve.
This is the tragedy Davido chose to shine a global spotlight on.
🎤 Davido's Side — "I Have a Voice. I Used It."
By displaying the message on an international stage, Davido used his global platform to amplify calls for the safe return of those still in captivity. Photos and videos of the performance quickly circulated online, prompting praise from many Nigerians who commended the singer for drawing international attention to the abduction crisis. (The Sun Nigeria)
The argument for what Davido did is simple and powerful: the Nigerian government has been dragging its feet on insecurity for years. Politicians talk. Children die. The only thing that sometimes forces action is shame — and nothing creates shame faster than a global spotlight.
Davido didn't start the kidnapping. He didn't make the children less safe. He made their names known to the world. And for families still waiting for their children, that visibility may be the difference between a government that ignores them and one that is forced to act.
⚖️ Reno's Counter — "Publicity Is the Oxygen of Terrorism"
But Reno Omokri — Nigeria's Ambassador-Designate to Mexico — is pushing back hard, and his argument is not without weight.
Omokri maintained that while the intention behind such advocacy may be noble, public campaigns often produce consequences that many people fail to consider. Drawing from his personal experience, he said security officials had warned him that excessive public attention could make captives more valuable to their abductors. (Wikipedia)
He went further, sharing a painful personal lesson:
"I was informed by top-level security officials that my activities were actually making Leah Sharibu's release less likely," he said. "By raising her profile, I was making her too valuable as a hostage to her captors." (Wikipedia)
And then came the Chibok reference:
Omokri referenced the global #BringBackOurGirls movement, arguing that heightened attention around the Chibok girls case complicated rescue efforts. "If #BringBackOurGirls had not been made such a global phenomenon, their abductors would not have increased security around the girls," he said. (Military.com)
He added that increased visibility can make victims more valuable to abduct (Military.com) — essentially raising the ransom price and the ego stakes of those holding them.
🧨 The Problem With Reno's Argument
Here is what many Nigerians are firing back with online — and it is a fair point:
The Chibok girls are STILL missing — over a decade later. The quiet approach didn't work either. Leah Sharibu is still in captivity. The discreet, behind-the-scenes strategy that Reno is advocating has a very poor track record in Nigeria.
If silence and discretion were the answer, where are the results?
And there is something else Nigerians are noting: Omokri has also previously defended the Federal Government over the Oyo abductions, arguing that it is unrealistic to expect the government to provide security for every school across the country — and that insecurity in Nigeria should be viewed within the wider context of growing security challenges across the Sahel region. (NigerianFLIGHTDECK)
For many, that reads less like strategic advice and more like deflection on behalf of an administration he now serves as ambassador.
🤔 The Real Question Nigeria Must Answer
Both men raise legitimate points. But the bigger question sits underneath this debate:
Why is Nigeria still in a situation where a global music star has to use a FIFA World Cup stage to beg for the release of toddlers kidnapped from their classrooms?
Not Davido's jacket. Not Reno's press statement. The Nigerian government's failure is the story. Every day those children remain in the bush is a day the administration has failed its most sacred duty — protecting its citizens.
🗣️ Tell Us — WHO IS RIGHT?
Was Davido's global advocacy a brave and necessary act? Or did Reno Omokri make a valid point that publicity only empowers kidnappers? And after years of "quiet diplomacy" that hasn't brought back Leah Sharibu or the Chibok girls — is silence really the answer?

Crime'falana: How U.S. Rescued Kidnapped American With “sleep Chemical” In Sokoto by muyico(op): 11:55am On Jun 09
'Falana: How U.S. Rescued Kidnapped American With “Sleep Chemical” In Sokoto Forest, 2020'

"Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has spoken about how the United States rescued kidnapped American citizen Philip Walton in Nigeria in October 2020. In a video shared by TVC, Falana said Walton was abducted in Niger Republic and taken to a forest in Sokoto State.

He stated that the U.S. government deployed surveillance drones and was able to locate the exact area where Walton was being held. Falana said when American troops arrived at the kidnappers’ location, they sprayed chemicals that forced both the kidnappers and their victims to sleep. The troops then moved in, rescued their citizen, and eliminated the terrorists.

“I strongly believe America can provide such chemicals for us to fight these bandits,” My Take."
