In a post shared on his Instagram page, Ugezu wrote:
“That you paid the school fees of a maiden and assisted financially in shaping her life does not mean you must marry her. There are things a man must do and leave for the universe. If she finally says so…walk away.”
Ugezu calls out Reno Omokri over Peter Obi
TheTalk.NG recalled that Ugezuu had accused Reno Omokri of taking a political job to discredit Labour Party presidential hopeful Peter Obi.
The filmmaker’s reaction came after Reno’s latest dig at Obi, in which he claimed the former Anambra State governor was only a passenger in the 2019 presidential race and was merely picked to be Atiku Abubakar’s running mate.
The actor took to his Instagram page to express deep disappointment in Omokri, saying the ex-aide had knowingly plunged himself into a job that would ruin him, spiritually and politically.
In his post, Ugezu wrote: “Accepting the job to demarket Peter Obi online is the most dangerous job ever accepted by any mortal in the history of dirty politics in Nigeria. Even the universe is against you. You will not recover from the self-induced ruins. Woe who knoweth the truth but refuseth to voice it.”
