A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has warned against de-marketing Nigeria.
Omokri in an opinion shared on his verified X (formally Twitter) handle on Tuesday, believes that anyone who de-markets Nigeria make things more difficult for the average citizen.
Omokri stated this while praising Ademola Lookman, who was recently named the 2024 Confederation of African Football Footballer of the Year.
He stated that Lookman has always promoted Nigeria and not any politician or political party.
He wrote, “Nigerians must understand the difference between their leaders and their country. If you denigrate a Nigerian politician, I am not sure anybody will call you out. But when you de-market Nigeria, you make things more difficult for the average citizen. Nigeria needs foreign investments. They create jobs and improve lives.
“Ademola Lookman gets it. He has never promoted any politician or political party. He has always promoted Nigeria. Leaders come and go, but Nigeria is forever. Direct your criticism at politicians, not at Nigeria.”
Lookman on Monday evening, dressed in a traditional way and addressed the audience in a native language despite having been born and grown up in Wandsworth, in the United Kingdom, Dailyeconomy report.
Dailyeconomy had recently reported that the Nigeria music star, David Adeleke alias Davido while speaking with international media claimed that Nigeria’s “economy is in shambles,”indirectly telling the world not to invest in Nigeria.
Also, the Nigeria-born newly elected leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, on an international stage accused the Nigerian politicians of mismanaging public funds and also discrediting the Nigerian Police Force, stating “My experience with the police in Nigeria was very negative, and coming to the UK, my first experience with the police was very positive. The police in Nigeria would rob us.
“I remember the police stealing my brother’s shoes and his watch. It’s a very poor country, so people do all sorts of things.”
