Social media activist Reno Omokri has once again found himself at the center of a firestorm, this time facing intense backlash from the Nigeria Youths Frontiers and Peace Advocates (NYFPA) after his blistering attack on Pastor Becky Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
The drama erupted after Pastor Becky, in a recent sermon, boldly declared that any Christian who fails to pay their tithes is essentially pressing a “delete button,” erasing their spiritual progress and condemned them to “go back to square one.”
In an unapologetic response, Omokri labeled Pastor Enenche as a “Yahoo girl on the altar,” drawing a parallel between her emphatic call for tithes and the tactics of internet scammers known for exploiting the vulnerable. His fiery condemnation unleashed a tidal wave of outrage among Christian communities, who viewed his words as a brazen assault on their faith and a respected religious leader.

Becky Enenche lied. You do not go back to square one because you do not pay your tithe. This woman and her husband and others like her have turned the faith that Yeshua (Jesus) gave us into a scam. They are Yahoo boys, girls, men and women on the altar. Their brand of Godliness…

NYFPA, a prominent youth advocacy group, in a swift and fierce counterattack, , fired back at Omokri with a sharply worded statement.
Signed by their National Publicity Secretary, Samuel Geofrey, the statement condemned Omokri’s comments as “inflammatory, baseless, and deeply irresponsible,” slamming him for what they saw as a calculated attempt to discredit a religious leader for sensationalism.
The group didn’t stop there; they took the opportunity to dissect Omokri’s own public record, pointed out inconsistencies in his career, personal life, and shifting political affiliations.
They accused him of exploiting divisive rhetoric to maintain his relevance in the public eye, often at the expense of national unity and constructive dialogue.
They wrote;
“Omokri’s statements represent not only an attack on Pastor Becky Enenche but also an affront to the millions of Nigerians who hold their faith and spiritual leaders in high esteem.
“His choice of words betrays a profound lack of respect, not only for Christianity but for the principles of dialogue and mutual respect that underpin a civilized society.
“It is unfortunate that Omokri, who portrays himself as a moral and political compass, has a history marred by inconsistency, self-serving motives, and a penchant for stirring unnecessary controversies,”
