In a statement posted on his X handle on Friday, Ejiofor accused Omokri, a content creator, of deliberately tarnishing the image of the Igbos and Obi for financial gain. According to Ejiofor, Omokri’s primary objective is to drive traffic to his posts, thereby boosting his online business and securing lucrative engagements.

The IPOB lawyer urged Nigerians, particularly the Igbos, to disregard Omokri’s provocations on social media. Ejiofor emphasized that by remaining silent, they can effectively undermine Omokri’s strategy, which relies on their reactions to sustain his popularity. He also encouraged Nigerians to unfollow Omokri and deprive him of the attention he seeks.

Ejiofor’s statement reads:

“ATTENTION UMUIGBO! Udo diri unu, umunnem umuigbo, ndi oga adirimma.

“Meet Reno Omokri, a renowned content creator whose primary source of income comes from the financial gains he repeatedly earns through your reactions to his controversial and unfounded claims on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).

“Reno intentionally crafts insulting and derogatory posts targeting the Igbos and Peter Obi, knowing that by provoking you, he can increase traffic and engagement on his platforms. Your comments and interactions promote his business, leading to substantial returns, often running into millions of Naira and USD. If you believe that someone earning such an outrageous sum will change his tactics, you’re mistaken—unless YOU STOP HIM.

“His strategy is simple: manipulate your emotions to boost his content’s reach and revenue. By constantly engaging with him in an attempt to refute his deliberate falsehoods, you inadvertently support his flourishing business. He is not concerned with the welfare of this Nation; his interests are purely business-related.

Here’s how you can stop Reno and his business:

– Ignore his provocations. Silence is powerful. – Unfollow him. Don’t give him the attention he craves. – Spread the word. Inform others of his tactics.

“As an Igbo, you hold the power. Use your wisdom and unite to diminish his influence. Let this message spread and reclaim control from those who exploit our community for their own gain.
