- Comedian Funny Bone calls out Reno Omokri for mocking Peter Obi’s statement about remaining married even if his wife was unfaithful.
- Funny Bone lashed out at Omokri in his comment section, saying that his words were beneath him.
Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has been criticized by Nigerian comedian, Funny Bone for his recent comments about Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party.
Reno Omokri’s comments were in response to Peter Obi’s statement about remaining married even if his wife were to be unfaithful.
Reno Omokri referenced a scandal involving Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the Director General of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), and questioned how a person who is indifferent to their wife’s infidelity could possibly be concerned about corruption among government officials.
Reno wrote:
“If you don’t care if your wife is having affairs outside, how will you care if your officials are stealing government money? Look at the matter rationally. Are you saying that you will value government money more than your wife’s fidelity? Then why did you name your bank Fidelity Bank? If that is what fidelity means to you, then is our money safe in your bank?
A President who does not care if his wife has affairs outside will breed many Balthazar Ebang Engongas around him. It is a very indecent thing to have said and is indicative of disrespect for the sanctity of marriage. Such a person lacks the moral authority to be the President of Nigeria and may want to move to a country where his lax morals align with their way of life.
To even say such a thing in public is shameful!”.
Funny Bone reacted to Reno’s comments, saying that they were “beneath” him and that he should “learn to let some things slide.”
He wrote:
“Reno!!
This is beneath you.
Too low for your standards.
Too low. Learn to let some things slide.
This one, no enter, bro”.
