"Nigeria Will Survive" - Reno Omokri Prophesies Upon Nigeria
Social media Influencer, Reno Omokri has prophecised that Nigeria will survive and thrive despite everything happening this year, 2024.
In post he shared on social media, he encouraged his followers to have faith that Nigeria will pull through no matter the problem the country is going through.
The activist has continued to show support for the country and ask Nigerians to trust the system.
"In 2024, Nigeria will survive. Nigeria will thrive.
In Yeshua's Name!"
Reno Omokri has also encouraged Nigerians to speak their native language and bear their native names.
"In England and America, you meet Western-born children of Western-born children of Yoruba parents, and they all have Yoruba names and can speak Yoruba. No exaggeration. Now, understand me. I am referring to children born to parents who were themselves born and raised abroad. These are third-generation immigrants. And they still speak Yoruba.

Meanwhile, right there in Nigeria, many people can't speak their native language, and God forbid that they bear their native names.
Since you were born, how many Yoruba have you seen besting Victor Moses or Joy James? But that is now the in thing in Southern Nigeria. You go to expensive private schools in Lagos and Abuja, and sadly, other than children of Yoruba parents, all the other children tend to bear European, Arabic or Hebrew names.
Liam, Xavier, Aleona, Dwayne, Isabelle, Roberto. And when you see these children, you feel so sorry for them. Their parents do everything possible to de-Nigerianise them. Their hair, their dress, and sadly, even their skin. Oh yes. They now bleach children.
I mean, how can you sit down and be in your right mind and then name your child Victor Moses? What a spectacular lack of imagination!
Other than Yoruba, I am unsure how many Southern Nigerian languages will still be spoken in fifty years.
In Nigeria and abroad, you have university professors of the Yoruba language. Professor Wande Abimbola, the former vice chancellor of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, is the first of many.
Let me ask you this question. How many professors of other Southern Nigerian languages have you seen?
Learn from the Yoruba. Go to Peckham in London, and you will hear very serious Yoruba. If you are a JJC, you will think these are local Nigerians who just arrived in England. Try to speak English with them. When they answer you in perfect British English, you will realise that Ajoke is not a joke!
I have been visiting, studying, or living in England since 1986. And the only Nigerian language I hear being spoken loudly and publicly, and regularly in England, is Yoruba.
So much so that they now have a prime-time Yoruba language-based comedy series in the US titled Bob Hearts Abishola, starring B list US actor Billy Gardell.

If your language dies out, what will you do or say the day the owners of the English language decide to tell you about yourself? Or do you think they don't know you are an African that is just borrowing their language? Dey play."
