A Former aide to Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has today described Nigerian Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka as someone who delves into public figures affairs.
Omokri is reacting to claim by the writer that Nigerians are prying into his privacy.
The dramatist, Mr.Soyinka had in a media event held at Freedom Park on Lagos Island, said he will hold a private funeral on the day the United States’ president-elect, Donald Trump will be sworn in.
In his statement on twitter he added that he won’t be holding the funeral based on his disapproval on US president-elect but for the death of common sense in Nigeria.
He had said, “Why do Nigerians wail louder than the bereaved?
“I am embarrassed to occupy the same nation space as some imbeciles and morons. I am planning my Wolexit, which could be internal or external.”
But reacting via his Twitter handle, @renoomokri, the former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan said the Nobel Laureate should not be wailing when his privacy is invaded, adding that Soyinka is the chief nose poker.
Omokri wrote, “Soyinka the chief poke noser into the affairs of others to the extent of calling a First Lady “Hippo”, is angry at the invasion of his privacy!
“That we don’t have a Nobel Prize doesn’t mean we can’t reason. You can’t boast about a thing publicly and expect it privately discussed.”
