Reno Omokri Emerges 21st Most Talked About Person in Africa
Author and public affairs commentator, Reno Omokri, has emerged the 21st most talked about person in Africa for 2024, according to Top Charts Africa, using Google algorithms.
“To God be the glory, I was named the 21st most talked about person in Africa for 2024 by Top Charts Africa, using Google algorithms. This proves you do not have to de-market your country to be relevant.
“You can command respect and win the ears of the public and the media by projecting positive things about your country. You do not have to promote your country’s leaders. But it is your duty and should be an honour to use whatever influence you have to promote the nation God saw fit to make your country of birth.
“As long as I live, I promise to use my lifetime to glorify God and uplift humanity by being the best advocate for Nigeria and her people. So help me, God,” Omokri said in a note.
Some Nigerians have also been felicitating the author. “I congratulate Reno Omokri on being named among the most talked-about persons on the African continent for 2024, as announced by Charts Africa using Google algorithms.
“This recognition affirms his very vocal and patriotic promotion of Nigerian culture and peaceful religious and ethnic coexistence in Africa. I look forward to Mr. Omokri continuing to use his voice to project Nigeria in positive light in the new year,” said Nigeria’s Information Minister, Mohammed Idris.
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode said: “I am so proud of you my dearest aburo @renoomokri. Through thick and thin you have stood for your beliefs and have defended our beloved nation.
“This is a well-earned and well-deserved accolade. May God continue to be with you and may He continue to use, bless and protect you.”
Besides, a former presidential spokesman, Doyin Okupe, described Omokri as a global ambassador.
“I heartily congratulate my younger brother Reno, on being named among the 30 most talked-about people in Africa for 2024 using Google Trends. Reno, you are a global ambassador for brand Nigeria, and your patriotism is without equal. Well done, and congratulations again!”
Media entrepreneur, Senator Ben Muray-Bruce, also spoke glowingly of Omokri. “I congratulate my friend and brother on being included in the Top Charts’ list of the 30 most talked-about people in Africa for 2024 using Google Trends.
“At number 21 on the index, you have shown that speaking positively about your country can take you further and give you more influence than using your platform to magnify the negative. You are a brand ambassador for Nigeria, and this could not have happened to a better person,” he said.
