Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has condemned showcasing luxurious items at school reunion parties.
In a tweet, Omokri described individuals who attend these events with expensive cars and watches as “cruel.”
Omokri argued that such displays of wealth can have devastating effects on fellow classmates who may be struggling financially.
He suggested that these actions can lead to feelings of depression, sadness, and even suicidal thoughts.

Omokri emphasised the importance of empathy and humility, urging successful individuals to attend reunion parties with a focus on reconnecting with peers rather than flaunting their wealth.
He reminded them that they all started with nothing and that material possessions are fleeting.
Omokri wrote: “We know you are successful. But don’t go to your school’s reunion party with your Rolex and Bentley. It is just cruel! How do you expect your classmates who have not made it to feel?”
“Many of you have caused depression and even suicides by going to an occasion that is meant to bring back good memories only to create sad remembrances for your classmates.”
“Just show up and don’t show off. You don’t help, and you still want to oppress. What type of wickedness is that? You all started with nothing together. And nothing will follow you when you leave this world as we all must!”
