The Truth About Reno Omokri Is Sad - Mike Arnold

The truth about Reno Omokri is sad. I’ve seen it up close. Last year, on his birthday safari in Kenya. He stayed at my home in Texas. Most recently, he hosted me in Abuja. Reno doesn’t lie like most liars. He lies calm, cool, and constant.

‘Reno Omokri is a pathological liar, hypocrite, seeking appointment’ —Ex-US Mayor, Mike Arnold.

A former Mayor of Blanco, Texas, in the United States, Mike Arnold, has taken on a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, whom he described as a pathological liar and hypocrite who is only driven by what he gets and not for the good of the people.

Ex-US Mayor Mike Arnold claims Reno Omokri paid Arise TV $3000 for an interview, release ‘sleazy’ video

A former Mayor of Blanco, Texas, in the United States, Mike Arnold, has released another bombshell on a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, whom he had earlier described as a pathological liar and hypocrite who is only driven by what he gets and not for the good of the people.

Media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has become the latest Nigerian to throw jabs at former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, after ex-US Mayor, Mike Arnold, exposed his alleged hypocrisy and lies. Arnold, who is the founder of Africa Arise International, was in Nigeria on a fact-finding mission on the ongoing religious persecution debate on the invitation of Omokri, but ended up disappointed over what he described as Omokri’s two-faced insincerity and manipulative tendencies.

In a series of posts on X., Arnold had described Omokri as a pathological liar and hypocrite who is only driven by what he gets and not for the good of the people. But unlike the very outspoken Omokri, almost a week after the American dragged him, he has refused to make a response, which has made many believe he is guilty as charged. While reacting to the development, Ibe, in a post he shared on his X handle on Friday, challenged Reno to come out and defend himself and prove Arnold wrong. Referencing an old post he made on June 14th, Ibe said it is now glaring that Arnold is right by describing Reno as a fraud and a barefaced liar. ‘In the light of the revelations made by Mike Arnold about Reno Omokri, it has become necessary that I REPRESENT my post of JUNE 14, which every word has been confirmed by Arnold: RENO is indeed a SCAM and SCUM!” Ibe wrote.

“Reno Oh Mockery,

“Reno Omokri, you are a classic case study in psychological projection, an insecure man so desperate to escape his own failures that he accuses others of the very flaws that define him. “Credibility and Reno Omokri in the same grammatical environment? Oh, what a mockery. That’s an oxymoron so wild it should be banned by both logic and language.

“Reno, you need help. Whether clinical or spiritual, that’s for you to decide. But what’s beyond dispute is that you are a master of treachery, a Judas Iscariot, an unrepentant opportunist whose reputation precedes him like a foul stench.

“Even those smiling beside you today do so with suspicion, fully aware that your loyalty is as steady as quicksand. “You claim my principal has been “good” to you? Let’s not pretend. That phone call you trumpet was likely just another pit stop in your never-ending pilgrimage for personal ‘goodness.’ Your kind of goodness isn’t ethical; it’s transactional, scavenging like a hyena sniffing out its next meal. “You also said you never attack your friends unless they strike first. Really? Then what did Peter Obi ever do to deserve your endless, pedestrian, vitriolic, and abusive attacks? Or was his popularity simply a threat to your ego?

“You parade yourself as a pastor, but you are a pastor just like Simon the Sorcerer. Your fidelity to God, truth, and even family is nonexistent. A man who has no qualms about having two wives preaching morality to others?

“That’s comedy dipped in hypocrisy. And now, you want a political wife in Tinubu and a side chick in Atiku? Sorry, Reno. Nigeria isn’t your polygamous playground. That riverside romance has failed spectacularly. Ashawo kobo kobo!

“But since you seem obsessed with the idea of credibility, here’s a challenge: instead of clowning around on the imaginary Lagos-Calabar expressway, why not explain how Government College, Lagos, managed to award a certificate to “Bola A. Tinubu” in 1970, two full years before the school was established?

“Better still, if you really care about truth and character, join the call for the FBI to release Tinubu’s drug records in the United States. Or has your newfound loyalty erased your former fire and fury about his criminal past?

“Atenu, like you flip opinions faster than a wind-tossed leaflet. You speak of credibility “unlike others.” Others, like who, Reno? The very people you once stood with before you betrayed them for crumbs and clout?

“Let it be clear: you are expendable, Reno. Loud, treacherous, desperate, and utterly irrelevant. No amount of delusion or self-adulation will save you from that truth.

“Reno, oh, Reno, what a Mockery!”

𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐛𝐮'𝐬 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐬: 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐝? -- Ugo Egbujo

In exercise of his prerogative powers of mercy, Tinubu pardoned a convicted murderer on death row. He also pardoned drug barons. He pardoned a kidnapper. That power was given to him on trust by the people. In a country ravaged by insecurity, every message from the leader should reflect a ruthless determination to stamp out crime and give the fear-wracked populace a new lease on life. How much can we trust Tinubu?
