Pastor Reno Omokri

Pastor Reno Omokri, former aide to the immediate past president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, an author and lawyer.

The  host of Transformation with Reno Omokri, a Christian teaching TV show broadcast on San Francisco's KTLN and Detroit's Impact Network, a public affairs analyst has thrown some shades at the popular TV Show, the Big Brother Naija reality show.

The outspoken Pastor shared via his official Twitter handle a thought provoking line:

"Let’s look at the facts. #BBNaija producers make about ₦50 billion. The winner gets ₦85 million. My dear, you are not making any youth rich. Secondly, how many past winners are wealthy today? ₦50 billion can start 5000 youth businesses".

Young people out of poverty but our educational sector has been badly neglected which is a serious problem,to see people waste their time watching a group of guys sitting around and sleeping around is really apalling and then spend so much to vote rubbish,D.A.M.N

 was in government so he should fund himself to be president. The only way Nigerians (youth especially) would start to donate for anyone's political ambition there has to be a sign that the government cares. But for now we don't believe in government.

Talk about those sponsoring the show .
List the companies .
Are they youths as well?.

But I won't pretend that I didn't get your point at all , if only we use the same or half of the energy during our elections to support someone like @MoghaluKingsley
 (I voted him btw),
