Nigerian comedian Funny Bone has criticized former presidential aide Reno Omokri for his recent online mockery of Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party.
Omokri ridiculed Obi’s statement regarding his commitment to remain married even if his wife were to be unfaithful. He referenced a scandal involving Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the Director General of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), who was recorded engaging in sexual activities with several women, including his brother’s wife, a cousin, and the sister of the President of Equatorial Guinea.
In light of this scandal, Omokri questioned how a person who is indifferent to his wife’s infidelity could possibly be concerned about corruption among government officials. He further pondered whether the president prioritizes public funds over his wife’s loyalty, reflecting on the implications of the bank’s name.
“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!”.
Reacting to it, via his comment section, Funny Bone lashed out at Omokri.
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”.
