Nigerian born writer, Reno Omokri, took to Twitter to discuss depression and boy did he get it all kinds of wrong.


This isn't the first time Omokri had caused controversy with his ideas about how people should live their lives. Back in February, he sent out a message that caused quite a bit of backlash from social media.

 In the post he directed his thoughts to women, saying:

Dear women

When men have sex with you,they deposit some of their personality in you through their discharge. Having multiple men discharge into you negatively affects your psyche and personality. God designed women to be recipients of only their husband's discharge.

Yeah, he said that.

So it is no big surprise that Omokri is offending people once again. This time it is his incredibly insensitive comments about depression that have people reeling.

In his latest grab for attention he says:

Are you depressed? Ask yourself these questions:

* Do you have a home?
* Do you have food?
* Are you healthy?
* Do you have family?

It people who don't have these can be happy, then what reason do you have to be depressed? You are more blessed than half of humanity

Yeah, he said that.

It didn't take Twitter long to set him straight.





Luckily, people ignored this nonsense and were there to support each other.







A self reflecting person might have hit the delete button.






Omokri hasn't apologized or removed the tweet so the people continue hammering him.








This person may have spoken for everyone.


If you or anyone you know is suffering from depression, here are some resources that may offer assistance. .

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
