Those who can leak for you can also leak against you. I speak in parables.Reno Omokri
You might have known that Reno Omokri was the Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, but I bet you might not have heard of Reno’s Nuggets. Mr. Omokri has been daily dropping ‘gems’ on twitter. We had to get in on the action. Disclaimer: Follow these nuggets at your own risk.
1. On the role of wives in their husbands’ friendships.

Dear wife,

Criticizing your husbands choice of friends reflects badly on you. You were once a friend before a wife #RenosWednesdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 20, 2016

This one has over 50 retweets!
2. On ladies’ make up. Especially the foundation.

Dear ladies,

Deep foundation makes a house strong but it doesn't make a face fine. #RenosWednesdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 20, 2016

He has obviously not heard of Mac foundation.
3. To all single men with a side eye at baby mamas.

Dear single men,

There is no glory in having a baby mama. Even dogs and goats have baby mamas. Have a married mama! #RenosTuesdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 19, 2016

Louder. For those at the back!
4. The parable of the hungry young man and the cook.

Dear young men,

Everything tastes good when you are hungry, so don't marry the cook because you are hungry. A parable #RenosTuesdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 19, 2016

This had us like: “Preach, Reno, Preach!!”
5. Another one to the ladies!

No matter how a house is painted it cant make the inside finer. Likewise, painting your face cant improve your character #RenosTuesdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 19, 2016

*throws make up purse away*
6. This confusing tweet on abortion that really means well.

If your parents had aborted you, you will not be here, so don't contemplate sex until you are ready to be a parent #RenosMondayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 18, 2016

Zip up!
7. This head-scratching tweet about money and life.

Number your days, not your money. You know how much money you have left but you never know how many days you have left #RenosMondayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 18, 2016

How do you number your days when you don’t know how many you have left?
8. Straight people will overcome gay people with successful marriages.

The best way to destroy the satanic idea of same sex marriage is to make your own Godly Opposite sex marriage a success #RenosMondayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 18, 2016

Oh lord, fix this!
9. This smart tweet about quality of friends.

The day you need to borrow a large sum of cash is the day you learn that one good friend is better than 100 acquaintances #RenosMondayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 18, 2016

He’s not wrong.
10. This tweet shading Adams Oshiomhole.

Obviously if your name ends with the word HOLE you will be afraid of holes, but Goodluck is the portion of Jonathan! #RenosSaturdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 16, 2016

*hot tears of laughter*
11. To all the men with side chics.

Dear married men,

You don't see that side chick when she wakes up without make up, so cut your wife some slack #RenosSaturdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 16, 2016

“Men want to have sex with sexy women, but they save classy women for marriage. Go for class not sex!” – Reno Omokri
12. Single ladies may or may not be shirts.

Dear single lady,

The shirt that too many men try on ends up as window display in the shop. I speak in parables #RenosFridayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 15, 2016

I’m not sure.
13. There is a sea of cleavage and buttock-baring girls out there, guys!

Ladies, dont give in to peer pressure. A decently dressed girl stands out in a sea of cleavage and buttock baring girls #RenosThursdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 14, 2016

Seriously.
14. To the women with in-laws – and Brazilian hair.

Dear married women

If you can love hair that's not yours, you can also love in laws though they're not ur relatives #RenosWednesdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 13, 2016

I love this one.
15. This one nullifying the power of the bottom.

Times have changed. Bottom power no longer gets women as far as brain power can. Ask @HillaryClinton and @NOIweala #RenosWednesdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 13, 2016

I’m hurt.
16. Married men also may or may not be cats.

Dear married women,

Feed cats at home so they dont eat trash outside. Starving cats are easy prey. I speak in parables #RenosTuesdayNugget
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 12, 2016

I don’t know anymore. If you enjoyed these, and you want more, you can just go to Reno Omokri’s twitter page to feed yourself.
