Ex Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has come out to pen an important message to Nigerian men.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, one of the reasons why God made a man’s facial skin tougher than a woman’s own is so that he can take a woman’s slap without retaliating.

He added that men should try as much as possible to leave the room if they are ever slapped, as that will prevent provocation.

His words, “Dear men,
Nobody should EVER slap anyone. But even if a woman slaps you, NEVER slap her back. Leave the room. Don’t be provoked. One of the reasons why God made your facial skin tougher than a woman’s own is so that you can take a woman’s slap without retaliating! It is a very ungentlemanly thing to do. And even Christ taught this: If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.’-Matthew 5:39.”

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.
