Reno Omokri blasts Netizens mocking Monday Okpebholo for inability to pronounce Edo State budget
Former Presidential aide and social media personality, Reno Omokri defends Edo State Governor after he made a mistake while delivering the state’s budget.
Recall, that there was a mild drama yesterday on the Edo State House of Assembly floor when Governor Monday Okpebholo struggled to pronounce the figures for the state’s 2025 budget.
The news caused a lot of reactions with some people defending and some people criticizing Governor Okpebholo. Reno Omokri took to X, to defend Okpebholo. He said,
”On this Edo State Governor and his difficulties with the English language, his critics display the deepest inferi0rity complex and colonial mentality.
Is intelligence defined by your ability to speak English? How many Chinese speak English? Yet, they are taking over the world. India is currently the fastest-growing economy on Earth, with a growth of above 7%. Yet, Indians do not speak English.
They speak mostly Hindi. You cannot speak your own native language, and you m0ck a man fluent in Bini and Esan, the two most spoken languages in Edo State? Please fact-check me: Ability to speak multiple languages is a sign of deep intelligence.
Governor Monday Okpebholo is more intelligent than you who can only speak English. This is the pseudo-intelligence that is destroying Africa. We have translated the Bible into almost all African languages, yet we do not have science textbooks in any of our languages.
As a people, we define intelligence by our ability to speak fancy, high-fluting English, the snootier, the better. Yet, we cannot feed ourselves, build our own infrastructure, or develop our indigenous military-industrial complex.
Who told you the English man wants to hear you speak, sing and act in your low-level English? Is that not why they make you take TOEFL and IELTS before you get a student visa, even if you have a PhD?
Most Niger Delta languages will go extinct in fifty years. The South African language Xam is now totally extinct. All because Africans want to speak English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic better than the true owners of those languages.
Only Lukumi Yoruba and Hausa are expanding. Lukumi Yoruba is even spreading outside Nigeria faster than within Nigeria. ALL other Nigerian languages are contracting. Go and learn your language instead of m0cking the Edo State Governor!
Reno Omokri.”
