Special media influencer, Reno Omokri has dragged social media enthusiasts for relishing on the rumoured split between Nigeria born DJ Cuppy, real name – Florence Otedola and her fiance, Ryan Taylor.
Omokri expressed sadness that although he’s in disagreement with Margaret Mitchell’s postulation in her novel; ‘Gone with the Wind’ in which she wrote that Black people love bad news and relished being the purveyor of such information, the nitizens reaction to the split rumour beats his imagination.
He wrote via his verified Twitter handle:
“Is it that we Nigerians have a wicked streak in us? Look at how much joy, glee, and almost drunken relish people are taking at the rumoured split between DJ Cuppy and her fiancé!
“First of all, I don’t think the news is true. I choose to be optimistic and think good thoughts about myself and others. Outside of politics, my expectations are that goodness and mercy will follow me and every believer all the days of our lives, as Scripture says.
“But even if it were true, must we celebrate? Must we be ecstatic? Must we act triumphantly as if we have won a prize for ourselves?
“I read Margaret Mitchell’s ‘Gone with the Wind’ as a teenager. And there was something Scarlet O’Hara said in the book, which I took offence at. She said Black people love bad news and relished being the bearers of such information.
“As a teenager, and now almost fifty, I am naturally a fun and upbeat person, and selfishly using myself as a model, I rejected the fictional Miss O’Hara’s classification of Black people as racist. Now, at almost fifty, I begin to question my initial dismissal of her take on my race.
“Please get a life and leave the young girl to get in with hers. At thirty, she has multiple degrees and has succeeded at multiple careers. What have you achieved with yours? Perhaps if you were not so fixated on expecting evil for others, more good would have come to you.
“Marriage is not an achievement. If it comes, good. If it does not, also good. Life without a husband or wife, children, and grandchildren is still life. Yeshua (Christ) and Paul never married, but they are some of the most successful People that ever lived.
“As long as you are content and fulfilled and live purposefully, you have NOTHING to regret or be ashamed of.
“DJ Cuppy, may it be well with you in Yeshua’s Name!”
