Reno Omokri, the former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has responded to the tragic passing of Nigerian pop star Oladipupo Olabode Oladimenji, popularly known as Oladips.

As reported by our source, Oladips succumbed to his demise precisely at 10:14 pm on Tuesday night. In the late hours of the previous day, videos circulated on social media depicting Oladips appearing to collapse while surrounded by friends.

Expressing his condolences, Omokri took to his X account on Wednesday to draw parallels between Oladips' death and that of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad. In a tweet, he also offered prayers, asking God to grant strength to Oladips' family in coping with the loss.

“First MohBad, and now Oladips. The similarities in the manner of their passing are eerily unnerving. Sudden illness. Allegations of self-medication. Rushed to a hospital. And then death. This is one déjà vu too many,” Omokri tweeted.

“Perhaps it is time for the Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria to approach a Health Insurance provider to offer their members affordable, accessible and quality healthcare with HMOs.

“And sensitisation and awareness need to be increased amongst the entourage of these artists on what to do in an emergency. Knowledge saves lives. Their posse needs to possess information on the right way to apply first aid if they must be around them. Let’s think of solutions, not just blame.

“We do not need tributes for our artists. We need long lives for them. It is a significant loss to Nigeria when young, talented entertainers, capable of rebranding our image internationally, meet untimely deaths.

“May God grant the family, survivors, and fans of Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji the fortitude to bear their loss.”
