Nigerians Drag Reno Omokri as Old Tweets Resurface: “Your Daily Dose of Hypocrisy…” — Mike Arnold Fires Back
By Passman Akpos
A fresh wave of online drama erupted on Nigerian social media as commentator Mike Arnold confronted outspoken political activist Reno Omokri with screenshots of his past tweets, accusing him of inconsistency and “performative activism.”
The clash began after Arnold posted a compilation of Omokri’s 2023 tweets on Nnamdi Kanu, El-Rufai, and national security—tweets many Nigerians say sharply contradict Omokri’s current positions. Arnold captioned the compilation: “Your daily dose of hypocrisy…” — a jab that immediately ignited heated debate across X (formerly Twitter).
The Tweets in the Spotlight
In the resurfaced posts, Omokri had argued that:
Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai committed “treason” by allegedly introducing a state-level legal tender during the 2023 naira redesign crisis.
Nnamdi Kanu’s continued detention was unjust and alienating the South-East.
Festus Keyamo’s call for Peter Obi’s arrest was “provocative.”
Critics now claim Reno’s recent commentaries contradict those earlier positions, prompting users to accuse him of cherry-picking outrage.
Nigerians React: “Table Shaker Meets World Shaker”
Nigerians wasted no time diving into the drama, flooding the comments with sarcasm, banter, and pointed criticism.
Some reactions read:
“Table shaker meet world shaker. Let the table continue shaking.”
“Imagine Reno without Arnold. Man would have thought he reigns supreme.”
“If hypocrisy were human, we’ve found one in O’Mockery.”
“Ndaa Mike, you dey give that guy him paracetamol like PRN.”
“Reno will soon run back to delete his old tweets. Records don’t lie.”
“He was shaking the table, but you just pieces the table.”
Others praised Mike Arnold for what they described as “fearless fact-checking,” while some suggested Omokri’s critics were merely recycling familiar talking points.
A Trending Online Showdown
What began as a simple screenshot post has evolved into a full-fledged viral moment, with phrases like #TableShaker, #EarthShaker, and humorous interpretations of “O’Mockery” trending across Nigerian social media spaces.
As of press time, Reno Omokri has not publicly responded to Arnold’s latest call-out, but users predict the saga may continue—especially as more archived tweets are expected to resurface.
One commenter summed up the online mood:“The table shakes, the world shakes… but receipts always remain.”
