Reno Omokri, previously an aide to Goodluck Jonathan, has criticized social media users who are criticizing DJ Cuppy regarding the alleged breakup with her fiancé, British boxer Ryan Taylor.
There were earlier speculations among fans of the Nigerian DJ that there might be issues in the relationship between Cuppy and her British partner.
Upon checking, it was observed that the boxer is no longer following his Nigerian fiancée, and Cuppy has also stopped tagging and posting about Ryan as frequently.
In a separate Instagram story, Ryan hinted at letting go of something that hinders one’s spirituality.
Omokri responded to this development on Sunday morning through a tweet from his verified Twitter account. He expressed his disappointment with Nigerians who seemed pleased to discuss the rumored split between DJ Cuppy and her fiancé.
The author shared his belief that the breakup rumors are untrue and mentioned that he chooses to remain optimistic and think positively about himself and others.
He wrote: “Is it that we Nigerians have a wicked streak in us? Look at how much joy, glee, and almost drunken relish people are taking at the rumoured split between DJ Cuppy and her fiancé!
“First of all, I don’t think the news is true. I choose to be optimistic and think good thoughts about myself and others. Outside of politics, my expectations are that goodness and mercy will follow me and every believer all the days of our lives, as Scripture says. But even if it were true, must we celebrate? Must we be ecstatic? Must we act triumphantly as if we have won a prize for ourselves?
“I read Margaret Mitchell’s ‘Gone with the Wind’ as a teenager. And there was something Scarlet O’Hara said in the book, which I took offence at. She said Black people love bad news and relished being the bearers of such information.
“As a teenager, and now almost fifty, I am naturally a fun and upbeat person, and selfishly using myself as a model, I rejected the fictional Miss O’Hara’s classification of Black people as racist. Now, at almost fifty, I begin to question my initial dismissal of her take on my race.
“Please get a life and leave the young girl to get in with hers. At thirty, she has multiple degrees and has succeeded in multiple careers. What have you achieved with yours? Perhaps if you were not so fixated on expecting evil for others, more good would have come to you.
”Marriage is not an achievement. If it comes, good. If it does not, also good. Life is still life without a husband or wife, children, and grandchildren. Yeshua (Christ) and Paul never married, but they are some of the most successful people that ever lived.
”As long as you are content and fulfilled and live purposefully, you have NOTHING to regret or be ashamed of. DJ Cuppy, may it be well with you in Yeshua’s Name!”
