Reno compares Ademola Lookman to Davido and Kemi Badenoch

Former presidential aide and social media personality, Reno Omokri, Reno compares Ademola Lookman to Davido and Kemi Badenoch.

Reno disclosed this in a post through his X account on Tuesday after Lookman was crowned the CAF Footballer of the Year for the past year. The striker stunned the world when he spoke Yoruba in his concluding remarks.

Reacting, Reno said that rather than behaving like Davido and Badenoch, who mocked Nigeria on the global stage with their comments, Lookman used the opportunity to speak positively about Nigeria.

”Ademola Lookman Showed Davido and Kemi Badenoch That Wisdom Is Not by age.

Recently, the singer David Adeleke was given a global stage to do whatever he wanted and deliver any message.

S@dly, Mr. Adeleke used the opportunity to speak in an American accent. Not only that, he used that American accent to talk down on Nigeria and tell the world not to invest in Nigeria because, as he put it, Nigeria’s “economy is in sh@mbles”.

Coincidentally, a month after his f@ux pas, Kemi Badenoch, probably inspired by Davido, used her British accent to talk down Nigeria, calling us “a very poor country” where the police r0b citizens.

When we thought it was all bad news, God gave us a breath of fresh air in the youthful Ademola Lookman, who used the global podium granted to him by his winning the 2024 African Footballer of the Year award to promote and project Nigeria and the Lukumi Yoruba language to the world.

Wisdom is not by age. If not, Ademola Lookman, who is just twenty-seven, will not have displayed greater wisdom than David Adeleke, who is thirty-two, and Kemi Badenoch, at forty-four.

 Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala spoke Igbo on the podium of the WTO in Geneva. In terms of prestige, she is FAR above Lookman. My campaign is not for the Lukumi Yoruba alone. It is for all sub-Saharan Black Africans to learn to speak their language and not use ability to speak English or another colonial language as a measure of intelligence.

Besides Lukumi Yoruba and Hausa, every other Nigerian language, including Fulfulde, is gradually dy!ng out. General Buhari is half Fulani and half Kanuri. Yet, he cannot speak either Fuifulde or Kanuri.

Let me give you an example. All six Governors of the Southwest bear full Lukumi names: Jide Sanwa-Olu, Seyi Makinde, Dapo Abiodun, Ademola Adeleke, Abiodun Oyebanji, and Orighomisan Aiyedatiwa.

No other zone in Nigeria has all its governors bearing ethnic Nigerian names as first and second names. They either bear Arabic or European names as first names or even first and second names.

If we truly want to be the Giant of Africa, we must take affirmative steps to preserve our language and culture so we can have children like Ademola Lookman.”
