But what should have been a moment of collective mourning quickly took a different turn when a troll identified as Onuegbu left a provocative comment under the post.
"If you know Reno is next hit the like button," the troll wrote.
Reno Omokri's Response to the Troll
Rather than ignore the comment or respond with anger, Reno chose a different approach entirely.
He addressed the troll directly and by name, thanking him for the remark while reflecting on the universal reality of death.
In his response, Reno wrote:
"Dear Onuegbu, Thank you for your feedback. Whether next week, next month, next year, or next decade, one thing is certain, death is an inevitability that I and everyone alive will face, for every soul must taste death.
"I came from God with nothing, and I shall return to God with nothing. Whether I love or die, may Almighty God be praised! Again, I thank you for your feedback, Onuegbu, and may God bless you."
