BEVERLY HILLS, June 06, (THEWILL) – Naysayers who have refused to believe that self-acclaimed pastor and motivational speaker, Reno Omokri, is capable of some of the things he preaches against, would be shell shocked to know that the man who they think can never do wrong in their eyes, was AWOL on his first daughter, Tsola’s birthday on May 30th. Reno, who has always been an advocate of raising a well-rounded and healthy family, shut out his daughter and deliberately didn’t turn up for the poor girl’s 16th birthday celebration, one of the most important days in the life of a teenager. He instead chose to spend the day hibernating with Hana, his Ethiopian born baby mama in London, United Kingdom. Whatever his issues with his estranged wife, Tuope Omokri nee Onuwaje maybe, the innocent girl obviously isn’t the reason and as such shouldn’t have to suffer for her father’s indiscretion. But like a man who is hell bent on tarnishing the marriage institution, a path he keeps railroading his numerous followers not to tow, Reno is past caring about the consequences of his actions.
Recall that THEWILL had exclusively reported a few weeks ago that Reno who likes to project a sanctimonious, holier than thou image of himself, abandoned his children and his legal wife of 14 years who is a school teacher in northern California where he lived with them and absconded to London to live with Hana, who he prefers to call his ‘wife’ and who is also the mother of his fourth child, Weyinmi Ebele Omokri. For over two years since he abandoned his family, he has allegedly refused to contribute to their upkeep including that of one of his sons who is a special needs kid. How much more ironic can it get for a man who likes to think of himself as a philanthropist, yet refuses to take care of his immediate family.
Since he denied ever abandoning his family to father a child in another continent and even threatened to sue this paper for falsehood and propaganda, an action he has cowardly refused to undertake, we ask once again; why he wasn’t at his daughter’s 16th birthday celebrations this year. Tsola who desperately craved her father’s presence for the celebration, spent it with trips to the SeaWorld in San Diego in Southern California and another to Las Vegas which coincided with Memorial Day in honour of US fallen soldiers, in the company of her two brothers and mother who has allegedly been responsible for their upkeep all by herself since Reno absconded. Last year, while he only managed to wish her a happy birthday, [See picture] he was nowhere physically present for her 15th birthday as he had abandoned his family the year before.
Perhaps having gotten wind of the fact that this newspaper in its usual fact-finding mission, would report his lackadaisical attitude on his daughter’s day; no physical presence, no birthday post or message, Reno cunningly put up a post two days after her birthday, on both his Instagram and Twitter accounts, calling her his fashionista daughter, while deliberately omitting any birthday message to her. This makes one to wonder if the daughter is the reason he abandoned his family in California or if she is just collateral damage. For those still doubting that Reno has abandoned his wife and his three teenage children in California, Dr. Baba Adam, a respected Nigerian/American political scholar in the United States, who is familiar with Reno’s bad behavior, last week emailed the flippant influencer and copied the ‘who is who’ in Nigeria including former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno’s boss, congratulating him and his baby mama on their new born baby while urging him to give his wife and family a call and return home to them in California.
The email seen by THEWILL, was captioned: “Pastor R Omokri – Please Call Home.”
Some of the interesting quotes from his cheeky and satirical lengthy email include:
“The lure [https://dictionary.cambridge.
“We have Engr. Mamuda and YaKa’ana from Borno in Brentwood/Antioch CA who know the beautiful family very well…”
So again, THEWILL hopes Reno graciously answers these three key questions he has craftily evaded since we busted him on this matter so it can be put to rest.
a) Who is the mother of the new baby you fathered and dedicated in the United Kingdom?
b) Do you have another wife other than Tuokpe Omokri nee Onuwaje?
c) Since you claim Hana, your Ethiopian baby mama, is your new wife, does it mean you are married to both Tuokpe, your Itsekiri wife and her?
