Hello esteem and avid readers! Today's topic is rather a peculiar one because it focuses on some important but controversial personalities in Nigeria's political spere. We would like to dig, pry and spy into their lives after which we would be able to ascertain if their frequent outbursts actually do hold some water or if its another basket mouth kinda case. Just like the topic says, when you refer to someone as a voice in the wilderness, it means that person has atleast an iota of truth or insight in his ranting but for some reason he isn't being taken seriously. John the baptist and some other prophets of the bible were at one point or the other referred to as voices in the wilderness. Over the years, these men have either said or done things that not only had people talking but really shocked, offended or really impressed. Ayodele Fayose is known for being quite outspoken, Femi Fani Kayode is very daring, Reno Omokri was never one to mince words and Dino Melaye would never sugar coat things. These 4 always say it as it is thus putting their thoughts out there in the most explicit and uncensored way possible. We'll start with Reno Omokri and Femi Fani Kayode then the next post will be about Ayo fayose and Dino Melaye.
Femi Fani Kayode is a Nigerian politician, essayist, poet and lawyer. He comes from a prominent Osun family of lawyers and judges as far back as his great grandfather who was among the first Nigerians to school in the UK which he also did. In 1990 he was elected as the national youth leader of the Nigerian National Congress (NNC). In 2003 he was chosen by chief Olusegun Obasanjo to be a part of his election campaign team which he won. He was investigated and I arrested for the misappropriation of ₦19.5 billion which was meant for aviation intervention funds. Although the investigation found no evidence against him, the senate committee on aviation in 2008 placed a 5year ban on him for holding any public post for 5years which was later called off. He also had a period of drug use and abuse scandal ,then he almost lost his life during a major health challenge but alas after all these he came out triumphant and became more vocal than ever throwing shades at PDP when he decamped to APC and doing the same to APC when he returned to PDP. since the advent of the Buhari Administration, he hasn't stopped calling the president and his cabinet on their flaws and mistakes he keenly observed. He was taken into custody by the EFCC for about 3weeks but was later released. Even at that he didn't stop airing his views and hasn't stopped.
Bemigho Reno Omokri is a Nigerian writer and lawyer. He is also the host of a Christian TV podcast in the united states. A spokesman of former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno is known for using his social media platforms to conduct political surveys and thoroughly critique the Buhari led government. The peculiar thing about him is the way doesn't shy from using stern words and methods to shame individuals he doesn't think are fit for the political positions they hold. He won't hesitate to call you names or post not so flattering pictures of you on his twitter. A perfect example was when he posted the photo of presidential media aide Mrs Lauretta Onochie with palm wine bottles after she threw a shade at him. How he got that picture of her, no one knows 😂 He is also known for posting wise quotes with the hashtag #RenosNuggets and ofcourse he doesn't hesitate to use his block button on haters who criticize his posts. Although I like his vibe and all, I personally can't personally decipher if he's doing these things because he still has vendetta against the Buhari administration which apparently bounced his outta office. Finally, I won't forget to mention that shirtless picture he posted where fans came in heavy urging him to shave his pits but I'm sure he didn't care, uncle Reno living his best life lol.
