Reno Omokri is a Pathological Liar, Seeking Govt Appointment — Former Friend And Ex-US Mayor, Mike Arnold

 

A former Mayor of Blanco, Texas, in the United States, Mike Arnold and friend of Reno Omokri has called him out on X.

He described the former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan as a pathological liar and hypocrite who is only driven by what he gets and not for the good of the people.

 

Arnold took to X to accuse Omokri of trying to deny Christian genocide happening in the Northern part of the country.

 

Arnold who is the founder of Africa Arise International, was in the country on a fact-finding on the ongoing religious persecution debate on the invitation of Omokri but ended up disappointed over what he described as Omokri’s two-faced insecerity and manipulative tendencies.

 

After the meeting, Arnold took to his X handle on Wednesday to differ with Omokri on his insistence that there was no genocide against Christian communities in Nigeria, insisting that many Nigerian Christians were being killed especially in the northern parts of the country.

 

Arnold wondered how Omokri who was consistent with telling the world about Christian massacre during the administration of late President Muhammadu Buhari, could suddenly turn around and say there is no genocide under the present government of Bola Tinubu just because he is looking for an appointment.

 

In a series of posts on X, Arnold said Omokri doesn’t lie like most liars, but does so with a calm, cool and constant mien just to shore up his profile.

 

“I’ve seen it up close. Last year, on his birthday safari in Kenya. He stayed at my home in Texas. Most recently, he hosted me in Abuja,” Arnold wrote.

 

“Reno doesn’t lie like most liars. He lies calm, cool, constant. Up close, he’s reptilian. Chilling. Soulless. Yet so charming.

“Once, he posted a video flaunting luxury cars, claiming they were his. Two belonged to a friend of mine. Reno visited, rode in them, filmed them, and claimed ownership. A total fabrication. I stayed quiet then but started watching closely.

“On my recent fact-finding trip about Nigeria’s persecution crisis, he promised meetings with Tinubu, NSA Ribadu, and the Sultan of Sokoto. None happened. Looking back, those promises were props for his narrative—for clout and manipulation.

“At his birthday last year, big names showed up expecting Goodluck Jonathan. That was a lie. They left fast, dodging his shameless PR stunt. They thanked me for showing them the quickest escape route on a map.

“In Abuja, after 30 hours of travel, Reno pulled me into a photo-op with the compromised CAN chairman. I barely got 60 seconds to change my shirt. He whispered, ‘Don’t mention you just arrived.’

“In the meeting, he implied we’d been there longer. He took credit for trips I’ve funded, planned, and endured over six years — presenting it as part of the “fact finding mission” that he had organized. He repeated this with the next group.

“On live TV, he called me the current mayor of Blanco, Texas. False. He knows it. He also said I’m a Republican mayor—we don’t even have partisan municipal elections. I haven’t been active in any party for 30 years. He claimed I’m a personal friend of Ted Cruz. Also false. I shook Cruz’s hand in a receiving line a decade ago. That’s it.

“He introduced my travel companion as a prominent Republican filmmaker. Not true. My friend does hobby projects, nothing major in decades. I don’t know what party he favors.

“How do you know if Reno Omokri is lying? His lips are moving. This isn’t bitterness. It’s accountability.

“When someone denies genocide, twists truth, and poses as a “Christian voice,” character matters. “The one who practices deceit shall not dwell in My house; he who speaks lies shall not continue before My eyes” (Psalm 101:7).

“Reno, I don’t hate you. But I can’t cover for you. I’ve seen too much. Lying to inflate yourself is one thing. Lying to cover up the Christian genocide raging in Nigeria is a bridge too far.

“People must know Reno Omokri is a pathological, habitual, calculating, self-serving liar—from someone who knows him personally—so they won’t trust his sleazy attempts to bury the blood of tens of thousands of Nigerian martyrs with the manure spewing from his mouth. It’s hard to fathom. I’ve never seen anything so stone-cold evil.

“If he doesn’t repent, Omokri will go down as Nigeria’s Joseph Goebbels, cast into the lake of eternal fire. He’s gaslighting a nation while Christians and innocent Nigerians suffer.

“Reno Omokri has the blood of innocents on his lying tongue. He doesn’t care. What’s an ocean of martyrs’ blood to him, so long as he secures the phantom appointment Tinubu dangles before him? I’m convinced he sees the victims as lesser humans. A pure sociopath.

“Under Buhari, Reno Omokri called it Christian genocide. Now he calls it a hoax. From prophet to genocide propagandist—he’s flipped on the martyrs he once mourned.

“In 2017, Reno spoke like a man of conscience. He exposed Fulani extremists. He warned of the bloodshed. He called it what it was: genocide. And he begged the world to act. Now, in 2025, he denies the very truth he once shouted.

“Most Nigerians view him as a perpetually flip-flopping court jester. But wth his latest flip into the killing fields, he is now more like Stephen King‘s IT – an evil clown, in the gutter, luring innocent people to their death.

“Reno claims he keeps meticulous records. So do I. This could get fun. By the way, his grand plan is to run for vice president under NSA Ribadu. I almost hope it happens.

“And today—while I was flying home from a press conference to stand with the persecuted—Reno twisted my presence into a headline that says I helped him “debunk” the genocide. Let me be clear: he lied. Again. Publicly. Boldly. Blasphemously.

“I did not come to support Reno. I did not stand beside him. I stood beside the slain. And I will not let their blood be erased by a man chasing political favor.

“Reno blames Peter Obi for international outcry, as if one man’s layover in D.C. hypnotized Republicans, Democrats, NGOs, and global Christian watchdogs to all cry “genocide” in unison.

“It’s nonsense. And worse—it’s evil. What would Leah Sharibu say? This is not evolution. This is betrayal. This is not “strategy.” This is selling your soul for influence. And for what? Another chance to sit close to the throne and whisper lies?

“Let the record be clear: Reno Omokri has become Nigeria’s Joseph Goebbels—weaponizing language to sanitize slaughter. Not just tolerating evil—but dressing it in church clothes.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20)

“Reno, there is still time to repent. But the hour is late. And the stain is deep. If you continue lying in the face of martyrdom, the world may forget. But heaven won’t.

“And neither will those who buried their pastors, their children, their congregations—while you smiled for cameras. I came to Nigeria to speak the truth. You tried to hijack it. Now I’m here to expose the lie.

“Nigerians worldwide—from the highest to the lowest—revile him as a self-deluded tool. An emasculated, narcissistic peacock. Peter Obi’s used toilet paper would poll better. Even soggy, it has more integrity.

“But if you’re a Nigerian reading this, you probably already knew that.”
