“People who have never acknowledged my contributions to nation-building are quick to discuss my private life all in a bid to bring me down.

“Well, sorry to disappoint you, you can’t bring me down.

“God lifted me, designed and equipped me for a divine purpose on earth.”

Reno Omokri bares thoughts on preachers not attending TB Joshua’s funeral

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has addressed those criticizing general overseers of Nigerian churches who did not attend the funeral of late Prophet T.B Joshua.

The funeral service of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) preacher and founder took place on Friday, July 9 at the church premises in Lagos State.

Reno Omokri has slammed those criticizing top general overseers for not showing up at the funeral ceremony.

He mentioned that Nigeria’s economy is dying and the topic on the Internet is about those that did not attend the funeral of a dead man.

Reno stated;

“People usually only attend the funerals of men and women they associated with during their lives.

“If you did not associate with someone while that person lived, and more importantly, that person also did not associate with you in their lifetime, it is hypocritical to go to their funeral.

“Nigeria generated ?3.4 trillion in 2020, and spent ?3.3 trillion servicing (not repaying) debt, and our priority is who did or did not attend a dead man’s funeral?

“The man has died and cannot un-die.

“But our economy is dying when our government spends 95% of its revenue servicing debt!

“That is why $1 is now ?504.

“Let us focus on issues that matter!”

This is coming after controversial media personality, Daddy Freeze took time out to criticize renowned General Overseers for failing to pay tribute to TB Joshua.
