Controversial Nigerian author and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has urged Nigerians to open up if any of their relative dies from COVID-19.

As the second wave of the COVID-10 pandemic looms in the country, Reno Omokri has cautioned his fans to be very careful about how they live their lives because the virus is real and it is taking lives.

The trained Lawyer said it is not shameful to contract or for someone in your family to die of COVID-19 thus they should not be shy to divulge the information so people can learn from it.

According to him;

“If your relatives die from #COVID19, please don’t hide it. Corona Virus is not a sexually transmitted disease. It can affect anyone. There is nothing to be ashamed about.

And most importantly, announcing the cause will make Doubting Thomases know the virus is NOT a scam! Let their death achieve something good.

“Many people thought HIV/AIDS was a scam until Fela Kuti died. His family’s decision to reveal that he died from complications related to AIDS, made doubters believe and caused them to become more sexually responsible.” He said.
