Nigerians in Haste to Show Their Talents as Controversial Influencer Reno Omokri Seeks Nigerian Designer to Reproduce His Latest Suit Using Local Fabric

Controversial Nigerian influencer and political commentator, Reno Omokri, has sparked a wave of interest after announcing on social media that he is in search of a fashion designer who can replicate his latest suit using only Nigerian-made fabric. Omokri, known for his outspoken views on politics and social issues, posted a picture of himself in a stylish suit and asked his followers for recommendations of Nigerian designers who could recreate the look.

“I am looking for a Nigerian designer who can replicate this design using ONLY made-in-Nigeria fabric. Do you know anyone?” Omokri asked in his post, which quickly went viral.

The response has been overwhelming, with many Nigerians eager to recommend their favorite designers or promote their loved ones’ businesses. Some have even suggested young, up-and-coming tailors, hoping to give local talent a platform through Omokri’s wide-reaching social media influence.

“Please check out my brother’s brand! He makes quality suits with local fabrics,” one enthusiastic user commented. Another wrote, “This is the perfect opportunity for Nigerian designers to show what they’re capable of. We have so much talent in this country.”

While many praised Omokri for supporting the promotion of Nigerian fashion and local fabrics, others questioned whether this was another publicity stunt from the controversial figure. Known for his strong opinions and political affiliations, Omokri often divides opinions on social media.

However, his call for a Nigerian designer has shed light on the country’s fashion industry, with many appreciating the emphasis on using locally produced materials. In this case, Omokri’s followers await his decision, hoping it will spotlight a talented Nigerian designer and promote the use of indigenous fabrics in fashion.
