Controversial social commentator Reno Omokri has found himself at the center of a firestorm after claims he made about driving 30 kilometers of a newly commissioned coastal road on May 29, 2025, were debunked, prompting sharp criticism from comedian Acapella and others. The allegations have sparked widespread debate, with many accusing Omokri of spreading falsehoods for personal gain.

In a now-viral post, Omokri claimed he had driven 30 kilometers of the coastal road, touting it as a significant achievement of the current administration.
However, investigations by citizens and media outlets revealed that only 10 kilometers of the road had been constructed, casting doubt on his narrative.
The discrepancy has fueled accusations of propaganda, with critics arguing the coastal road project is more about political optics than tangible progress.
You can wake up a dead man faster than you can wake up a man pretending to be asleep
Comedian Acapella, known for his biting social commentary, did not hold back. “You can wake up a dead man faster than you can wake up a man pretending to be asleep,” he quipped in a post on X. “Reno is the latter.
Reno does not pray for daily bread; he lies for it.” The statement, shared thousands of times, captured the public’s frustration with what many see as Omokri’s pattern of exaggerating or fabricating claims to align with government narratives.
