Ensure You Are Financially Independent Before Moving Abroad – Reno Omokri

Ex Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has come out to urge Nigerians considering emigration to think twice before pursuing the idea of greener pastures abroad. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, there is an instant change in attitude from friends who move to settle abroad due to their new environment not meeting up to their expectations, and several immigrants who thrive overseas are actually financially independent already.

Reno added that most people who thrive in a foreign land already engage in businesses that do not require physical presence or leveraging intellectual property.

WOW.

Reno Omokri (born 1974) is a Nigerian author and social media influencer.

Omokri was the host of Transformation with Reno Omokri, a Christian teaching TV show broadcast (for one season) on San Francisco’s KTLN-TV and Detroit’s Impact Network.

As the Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan, he was noted for using social media to conduct surveys and draw attention to the projects of the Nigerian Government.

During Nigeria’s 2019 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission postponed the election previously scheduled to hold on Saturday 16 February 2019 by a week. As the election postponement was announced only 5 hours before the polls were to open, Nigerians were angry since many travelled long distances to vote, only to be frustrated. As a result of their frustrations, Omokri initiated a program he tagged #BusesForDemocracy, which provided free transportation to voters to their polling unit irrespective of who they intended to vote for.
