The Nigeria Youths Frontiers and Peace Advocates (NYFPA) has criticized social media influencer Reno Omokri for his recent comments targeting Nigerian clerics, particularly Pastor Becky Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
Omokri sparked controversy within the Christian community by referring to Pastor Enenche as a “Yahoo girl on the altar” after she emphasized the importance of tithing during a sermon.
In response, the NYFPA condemned Omokri’s remarks, calling them “inflammatory, baseless, and deeply irresponsible.” The group argued that his words were unbecoming of someone who identifies as a political activist and public commentator.
Samuel Geofrey, the NYFPA’s National Publicity Secretary, issued a statement saying, “Reno Omokri’s comments are an affront to millions of Nigerians who hold their faith and spiritual leaders in high regard. His choice of language demonstrates a profound lack of respect for Christianity and undermines the principles of dialogue and mutual understanding in a civilized society.”
The group also criticized Omokri’s controversial public history, alleging inconsistencies in his career, personal life, and political stances. They accused him of exploiting divisive rhetoric to maintain public relevance, often to the detriment of unity and constructive discourse.
Reaffirming their commitment to truth, justice, and peace, the NYFPA urged Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and work toward fostering mutual respect and understanding.
The statement added, “Omokri’s remarks not only insult Pastor Becky Enenche but also disregard the millions of Nigerians who deeply value their faith and spiritual leaders. His words betray a profound disrespect for Christianity and the foundational principles of dialogue and mutual respect in a civilized society.”
The group further expressed disappointment, stating that Omokri, who positions himself as a moral and political figure, has a reputation marred by inconsistency, self-interest, and a tendency to incite unnecessary controversies.
