I will do thanks giving in the church if RENO is rejected. He was the person who started calling our president drug baron. He also vowed never to work with Tinubu. He has no integrity and can compromise on national issues as an ambassador.

Sadly, even if Reno gets through with the screening and eventually gets an appointment as ambassador.
The county of his designation will reject him.

He's trouble is just starting. Some strong unknown organization will make that happen

Bitter ones were waiting to mock Reno and FFK if they couldn't make the list, now they are in serious pain issuing silly statements as if their opinion matters in national issues. The person you said Reno abuse didn't complain and how is that your business if he chose to nominate him?
While you and helinus are busy collecting 40k allowances... Una Oga, Reno and FFK are enjoying appointments

You're a patriotic citizen. We will teach those haters a political lesson they'll live to not forget by rewarding Reno for insulting and dehumanizing Tinubu.

Reno is a patriot like us!

Imagine nominating someone like Reno to an ambassador......... Despite all the insults he poured on Tinubu angry

Well,even if the nomination is to be considered,let him be the Nigerian ambassador to either Columbia or Mexico angry.
Colombia and Mexico??
Let him go to Eritrea or South Sudan.

don't mind them, some of us know this allegation is just a smoke screen, Reno's real offence was the constant exposure of the numerous lies told by certain tribe In the country, which they termed "hate speech" Looking at the people leading the charge for his disqualification alone, says a lot. I wonder why they are crying more than the bereaved..it's pure eye service laced with ulterior motives grin grin
So you’re saying you don’t have a problem with Reno Omokri calling the Nigerian President a drug baron and even daring him to go to court if he isn’t?

Wonderful

I keep telling people... I am not a supporter of Tinubu but you see, his political intelligence needs to be studied. See now, how he has successfully led Reno to the gallows!
He made Reno eat and when Reno is comfortably relaxed, he's pulled out the trigger...

Its just a matter of consience.

Reno is a disgrace to the national image of a country even in Sudan and Benin republic will reject him as long as there is an internet enabled device to run a background check on him.

Reno Omokri was the spokesman of a terrorist organisation. He was the spokesman of MEND. MEND killed hundreds of Nigerian soldiers and naval officers. This kind of person has no business being an ambassador.
Reno Omokri is such a snake that Tompolo, yes the same Tompolo who was the head of MEND and who got a federal government pipeline protection contract worth over 150 billion naira, doesn't even want to associate with him anymore. Reno is a sellout and a snake.
Reno was a never a spokesman for MEND. He only worked for Jonathan. I don’t like his ways too but let’s say things as it is.

Tinubu dropped some pieces of Agbado for the hen and the hen kept following him. Not knowing he’s been led to the slaughter house. Lol

The question should be, who got him nominated lol? The president himself and I'm sure he 💯 boldly did it, so why are you crying more than the bereaved? With this your analogy,I'm sure you will agree with me that,those of you who took the allegation and ran with it, is as guilty as Reno

Tinubu is appointing only the disgrace people to Run a disgrace government of nigeria, notting neu If Mr. Reno Omocri IS appointef AS the Central Bank governor or Embasodor.
The country is bledding already
Re: Senate Divided Over Reno Omokri’s Nomination As Past ‘Drug Baron’ Remark by casualobserver: 11:45am On Dec 01, 2025
To start with, The president doesn’t compile most of the names. Many of them a president has never met of heard of. At least half of any list of appointees are sent by party hierarchy. For example Tinubu is on record as saying he only needs 8 ministers. What that means is that his core agenda are defined by those 8 ministries.The others are to pacify/settle the party. Similarly, he probably has identified a handful of countries of the 104 missions that are a priority to him. It is to those he will send his core people and the rest he doesn’t care who is the ambassador.


I don’t think there is anyone more universally loathed like Reno Omokiri. It would be most befitting if his nomination is rejected. That said if he is cleared, I am almost certain he will be sent to an obscure country.

IF THE SENATE DOESNT DO THEIR JOB AND DISMISS OMOKRI

WHEN HE BECOMES AN AMBASSADOR INTERNATIONAL MEDIA WILL ASK HIM,


RENO OMOKRI WHY WORKING FOR A DRUG BARON ?

RENO OMOKRI HAVE YOU ALWAYS MADE BASELESS UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS LIKE THIS ?

IS PRESIDENT TINUBU A DRUG DEALER ?

DID HE BRIBE YOU WITH THE AMBASSADORIAL POSITION ?



THESE ARE A FEW QUESTION,INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTS WILL ASK HIM ON THE WORLD STAGE. THESE QUESTIONS WILL EMBARRASS ALL NIGERIANS.
PLEASE DO US THE FAVOR NOW AND REFUSE HIS CLEARANCE. DONT START ANOTHER CIRCUS SHOW,DONT MOCK OUR COUNTRY ON THE WORLD STAGE.
If he recants, it will show the type of character he is and how disgraced Nigeria is. If he maintains his stand, it will be him vs his latest god. Either way, him and his oga will give bad impression.

“I can't do it. It's just against my principles. Some people can do that. It's not in my DNA. I can't do it.
So you did DNA transplant and can now work with Tinubu, abi?

What a shameless and dubious individual.

The senators should reject the nomination

So your whole argument is basically, ‘If someone makes a claim, and others repeat it, they’re all guilty. That’s not how anything works. Public figures get criticized, accused, questioned, that’s normal in a democracy. If the allegation is false, there’s a very simple solution: a court can settle it.

Reno said what he said and even invited legal action. Silence isn’t a defence, and neither is attacking people who simply discuss a public conversation. Instead of asking why people are talking about the allegation, maybe ask why the person with all the power, lawyers, and influence isn’t challenging it in court.

Crying more than the bereaved? No. Some of us just prefer accountability over blind loyalty

OP,Why Are You Trying To Pre- Empt The Red Chamber SENATORS And For What Reasons?
It's Well known to All NIGERIANS that Reno Omokry and Peter Obi Are Not Having A Good Time,
•But What Is Wrong With Obedient Footsoldiers On The Social Media - trying to Undermining the Ambassadors List At the Senate, Especially In Reno- because he is presently having an Unending Feud With Obi and So What?
-Obedient Should Grow - up in Political Sagacity and Drop the Toga of Past Immaturity,
•FOR POLITICS IS ABOUT- PERMANENT INTEREST- NOT PERMANENT ENEMIES and this makes the Game to be Very Interesting 🤔.- even in America and Other Western Countries - Where We Copied DEMOCRACY FROM!
Please,Allow Reno and Others - Ambassadors Nominees -to BREATH, afteall,they Are All NIGERIANS!
Except And Only -IF They Would Not Perform.
Let Their Performance Speak 🗣️ for them!
