He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, there is really nothing wrong in giving money to people, but giving money to get attention doesn’t make any sense.
Reno added that God does not actually reward nice people, He rewards wise people.
His words, “Nothing wrong in giving money to people. But, donβt go into debt to show people how much you love them. Even worse is going into debt to try to belong to a clique that already knows who belongs and who doesnβt. Use your money to get wealthy, not to get attention!”
“When you feed the poor, God feels you. When you feed those that are richer than you, God deals with you. Your wisdom is profitable. To you. Your foolishness is also profitable. But to others. Not you. How can you give someone what your havenβt given your mother?”
“God does not reward nice people. He rewards wise people.”
WOW.
Bemigho Reno Omokri (born 1974) is an author and lawyer. Omokri was the host of Transformation with Reno Omokri, a Christian teaching TV show broadcast (for one season) on San Francisco’s KTLN and Detroit’s Impact Network. He is the founder of a multimedia project, Build Up Nigeria, and has produced a series of short films in the U.S.
He is the pastor of the Mind of Christ Christian Center in California and Abuja. He is also known for using social media to project the Gospel. Omokri continues to write articles for major newspapers (mainly political OpEd and Christian material).
On August 17, 2017, the Department of State Security attempted to arrest him at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja but failed. Three days after the failed arrest attempt, the ruling party in Nigeria, the All Progressive Congress, named Omokri, along with former President Goodluck Jonathan and Governors Nyesom Wike and Willie Obiano as some of those showing “hatred, narrow-mindedness and meanness” to President Muhammadu Buhari.
He was one of three spokesmen to the former President, and is credited with pioneering the use of social media for political purposes in Nigeria.
