On her 30th birthday, Okoro shared photos of a huge house and she claimed that she built the property eight years after her ex-husband sent her packing.
The real owner called her out on social media and she was made to admit the property does not belong to her in a live Instagram video. Well, former presidential aide and author, Reno Omokri, is one of the few Nigerians who has sympathised with the blogger.
He initially tweeted that the blogger committed no crime by posing with another man’s property and that the public humiliation she is facing is the only crime.
Lying that you own a house that you don’t own is immoral and dishonest, but it is not a CRIME. The only CRIME I see here is the arrest, handcuffing and public harassment of Blessing Okoro. Who here, including me and @MBuhari, has not lied before? #FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets pic.twitter.com/f9vMowhAyr

Subsequently, Reno preached about the effect of shame on his Twitter page as he advised that people should not contemplate taking their own lives.
Dear Blessing Okoro
Don't contemplate suicide. SHAME is a SATANIC emotion. When God created man, we were NAKED and we were not ASHAMED. It is the fall of man that brought SHAME. Jesus died to take away your SHAME. Turn from the WORLD to the WORD #FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets

He followed up the tweet with a request for Blessing Okoro’s contact details from Nigerians who can provide it.

Just recently, WITHINNIGERIA reported that popular cross dresser, Bobrisky, defended Blessing Okoro amidst the hate she has been facing on social media.
He explained that he and most celebrities are in no place to judge because 90% of them also live fake lives.
This is also coming after Onye Eze’s alleged girlfriend shaded the blogger on social media. The lady had asked Nigerians to pray for Blessing Okoro’s soul.
She also urged people to pray for those possessed by the devil as well as thank God for restoring the confidence of Nigerian ladies who work hard.
