Reno Omokri Shouldn’t Praise The Lack Of Queues In An Oil-Producing Country – Frank Edoho

Popular media personality, Frank Edoho has come out to blast Reno Omokri for hailing the government because there are no fuel queues this holiday.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it is sad to see how Nigeria has become so third world that the absence of fuel queues and fuel scarcity in a so-called oil-producing country is regarded as a sign that things are getting better.

He added that Reno should stop praising the current government for achieving what should be a norm.

Reno wrote, “This is the first Yuletide season in the history of Nigeria where the following things are co-occurring:

Fuel price has reduced and there are no fuel queues or petrol scarcity, and for the first time, Nigeria is exporting refined petroleum products to Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Food is costly but very much available.

The Federal Government owned inter state public transport has been made free of charge for the duration of the holidays.

The new Minimum Wage is being paid to federal workers. And there have been no incidents of terrorism or insecurity outside the theatres of operation, which in itself is reducing in territory, even as both Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, who have been behind much of the instability in the Southeast of Nigeria, are behind bars.

We may not be where we want to be as a nation, but things are gradually getting better in Nigeria in many ways.

As a Nigerian, you have enough reasons to smile this period.”

Reacting, Frank wrote, “We are so third world that the absence of fuel queues and fuel scarcity in a so-called oil-producing country is regarded as a sign that things are getting better. Reno, please stop.”

WOW.
