Social commentator Isaac Fayose has called out former presidential aide Reno Omokri over his remarks about petrol prices in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
In a viral video online, Fayose criticised Omokri’s claim that Nigerians still pay less for petrol compared to UK residents.
He argued that his comparison was misleading because it belittled the huge differences in minimum wages and living standards of the two countries.

Fayose stressed that Nigerians who earn the newly approved ₦70,000 minimum wage cannot comfortably afford petrol at ₦1,400 per litre.
He explained that an average Nigerian won't be able to spend on fuel after attending to their basic needs like feeding, accommodation, and transportation.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Isaac Fayose reacted to the recent City Boy Movement event in Owerri, criticising the heavy security presence during Seyi Tinubu’s tour.
A few days ago, businessman Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chiefpriest, shared a video of the tour held in Imo State.
He was on stage with his boss, Obi Cubana, and Seyi Tinubu, explaining the reasons for shifting support from Peter Obi to Tinubu.
Reacting, Fayose questioned whether the event marked the start of a campaign or a breach of the law.
He also expressed doubt about Tinubu’s support in the state, saying, “With all the Cubanas in Owerri and Igboland, Tinubu will not get more than 20% of the votes in the state.”
The former governor's brother highlighted the state’s infrastructural challenges, noting that the lack of electricity and petrol remains a major issue for residents.
He reminded the people of Imo State that Tinubu had previously stated they should not vote for him if he failed to address these problems.
Fayose further criticised the level of security deployed for the event, claiming it exceeded the protection given to ordinary residents of Owerri. “If you know you are popular, you shouldn’t need that kind of security in the state,” he said.
Isaac Fayose's remarks have since sparked reactions online, with many fans weighing in on the political implications of Tinubu’s visit and Fayose’s message.

"Oga do your research before spewing this. Do you have any idea how much they earn there for a job compared to Nigerians?"
@KingdomKnight68 said:
"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."
