Newly appointed ambassador Reno Omokri has issued a passionate call to action for Nigerians, urging them to embrace and proudly wear their native clothing as a symbol of cultural authenticity and pride.
In a video shared on his social media, Omokri, dressed in a vibrant, traditional Aso-Oke outfit, made a direct appeal to his followers and fellow countrymen. “Always wear your native clothes, your cultural goals, authentic in African clothes,” he stated in the video. “Don’t think you look funny, always wear them.”
Reinforcing his message, he added a caption challenging his audience to prioritise local fashion: “Indicate In The Comment Section If You Want This Aso-Oke. Even If You Don’t Want It, Always Wear Your Authentically Native African Clothes.”
Omokri, a well-known author and public commentator, framed the issue not just as a matter of style but as one of cultural and economic significance.
He suggested that true prosperity and identity are rooted in one’s own heritage, declaring, “You cannot get rich on the world culture.”
