Tuokpe Shades Ex-Husband Reno Omokri

-

She may have chosen to remain quiet in the face of the massive betrayal from her erstwhile husband, former presidenti­al aide, Reno Omokri but it looks like Tuokpe Omokri is done keeping sealed lips and is all out to drag her former husband by his white beards. The mother of three, who seems to have been infused with a new verve at life, has become unusually active on social media. She recently took to her social media to throw subtle shades at her ex.

First she posted a cryptic message saying, “Don’t talk to me about loyalty, I’m still here holding secrets for people who are throwing dirt on my name. I’m assured with the fact that no matter how far falsehood travels, it will always be over taken by the truth.”

Two weeks after, she put up a picture quote that says, “Life is too short to think that you are unlovable because someone didn’t know how to love you.” Exactly a week later, she posted another quote that reads, “The same red flags you ignore in the beginning will be the same reason it all ends.”

Apparently, the latter quote is directed at Reno’s new Londonbase­d Ethiopian wife, Hanna. Recall that THEWILL had exclusivel­y reported in May 2021, how Reno, who likes to project a pious lifestyle even when his own personal life is the direct opposite of what he preaches, abandoned Tuokpe who is a school teacher and his three children in Antioch, a small town in northern California, USA where he lived with them and relocated to London about three years ago to be with his side chick, Hanna. Still legally married to Tuokpe whom he conducted traditiona­l marriage rites on as well as a church wedding before they both relocated to the US, Reno refers to Hanna as his wife. Reno, who claims to be a pastor/preacher, has fathered a child, Ebele with Hanna. The child is named after former president Goodluck Jonathan. The controvers­ial former aide, abandoned his family for reasons best known to him and until recently, allegedly refused to contribute to the upkeep of his family, one of whom is a special needs child.

A control freak, he allegedly subjected his estranged wife to emotional abuse for the better part of the 14 years they lived together, which may explain why Tuokpe chose to remain in her cocoon without the boldness to take on Reno. But going by the new Tuokpe who has emerged from her shell, it is safe to say that she is taking no prisoners. Barely a month after THEWILL’s exclusive story, Reno was AWOL on his first daughter, Tsola’s birthday on May 30th. Reno, who has always been an advocate of raising a well-rounded and healthy family, shut out his daughter and deliberate­ly didn’t turn up for the poor girl’s 16th birthday celebratio­n, one of the most important days in the life of a teenager.

Tsola who desperatel­y craved her father’s presence for the celebratio­n, spent it with trips to the SeaWorld in San Diego in Southern California and another to Las Vegas which coincided with Memorial Day in honour of US fallen soldiers, in the company of her two brothers and mother who has allegedly been responsibl­e for their upkeep all by herself since Reno absconded. In 2020, while he only managed to wish her a happy birthday, he was nowhere physically present for her 15th birthday as he had abandoned his family the year before. Till date, Reno has refused to acknowledg­e that he abandoned his wife, Tuokpe and his children to start another family in London.
