- Isaac Fayose criticizes Reno Omokri for his comments on petrol prices.
- Omokri compared fuel prices in Nigeria to those in the UK, suggesting Nigerians pay less.
- Fayose disputes Omokri’s assertion, indicating it is misleading.
Social commentator Isaac Fayose has criticised Reno Omokri over his comments comparing petrol prices in Nigeria to those in the United Kingdom.
In a video currently making rounds online, Fayose faulted Omokri’s statement that Nigerians still purchase fuel at a cheaper rate than people living in the UK.
According to Fayose, the comparison does not reflect the reality on ground because it ignores the major gap in wages and standard of living between both countries.
He argued that Nigerians earning the newly approved ₦70,000 minimum wage would struggle to afford petrol sold at about ₦1,400 per litre.
Fayose further explained that after catering for essential expenses such as food, rent, and transportation, the average Nigerian would have little or nothing left to spend on fuel.

@DanKatsina50:”As far as I’m concerned, Reno remains one of the most unreasonable people I’ve come across. Because of stomach infrastructure, he’s always ready to defend nonsense. But, whatever a man sows, he shall surely reap.”
@adejades:”My guy bought a 120m house on the island last year – His Second house. I just dey laugh these fools. What basis is the comparison Abeg? You’ll work 9-5 here for 50years and still May no buy a car let alone a 120m house except you steal. Una dey mad.”
@iam_jeeri:”Some head of the family in this country are not even earning 70k as salary, Reno brain just Dey upside down. He’s one of the issues . Very very delusional human being.”
@Davejon101:”Oga do your research before spewing this. Do you have any idea how much they earn there for a job compared to Nigerians?”
@KingdomKnight68:”Those on minimum wages won’t own a car. £25,000 is before tax. Minus £400 x 12 for rent, £50 for gas, £50 electricity etc. That’s already £6,000 less at the minimum, provided the person rents only a room. Remove tax, national insurance and retirement contribution.”
