Reno Omokri
Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has taken a swipe at Nigerians in the diaspora who travel home to stage grand funerals for their parents but never travelled to visit them while they were alive.
In a post shared on Instagram, Reno opined that life should be the uniting force in a family and not death.
He also stated that the way a person treats their parents in old age is the same way their children will treat them in theirs.
He wrote;
''How can you travel from overseas to your village to bury your parents, but you did not travel from abroad to visit them when they were sick? If you had visited them, they may not have died. You never sewed aso ebi to celebrate their birthday. Now you are spending $150 per aso ebi to commemorate their death? Let life unite you with your family instead of death. Remember, you teach your children how to treat you in your old age by how you treat your parents in theirs. A befitting life is better than a befitting burial.''
