Ifeanyi Ejiofor, one of the lead Counsels of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has accused a social commentator, Reno Omokri of consistently making insulting and derogatory posts against Igbos and the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi for financial gains.
Ejiofor in a statement on Friday, said the former presidential aide has his major income from impression revenue he receives from Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) after making his “controversial and unfounded claims”.
“Reno deliberately crafts insulting, derogatory, and disdainful posts targeting the Igbos, in his relentless ethnic baiting against Igbos, and the person of Peter Obi.
“Why? Because he knows that by provoking you, he can drive up traffic and engagement on his posts”, he said.
According to Ejiofor, comments and engagements from Ndigbo will only promote Reno’s business by sustaining traffic and popularity on his platforms.
The statement added, “And to your estimation, you think that a man who earns this outrageous sum will change pattern, he cannot unless YOU STOP HIM.
“His strategy is simple: manipulate your emotions to increase his content’s reach and revenue.
“By constantly engaging him to possibly dislodge his often deliberate falsehood, you become an enabler of his intentions and flourishing business. He is not a patriot in the affairs of this Nation, it is only for business enterprise.
“Here is what you can do to stop Reno and his business: Ignore his provocations. Silence speaks volumes. Unfollow him. Do not give him the satisfaction of your attention. Spread the word. Let others know how he operates”.
