Ambassador Reno Omokri has hailed American celebrities for speaking positively about Nigeria despite some Nigerians' negative views of the country.

In a Facebook post, Omokri wondered why such Nigerians who have never travelled abroad are busy demarketing the country.

He said this following a positive review of Nigeria by U.S rapper DDG, who said the country is safer than America.

He wrote, "You live in Nigeria and have never travelled abroad, yet you swear that Nigeria is bad and constantly de-market her online. Meanwhile, an American rapper visits Nigeria for the first time, and is so overwhelmed with the development and lifestyle of Nigeria, that in an epiphanic outburst, he declares that life in Nigeria is preferable to him than existence in many parts of the United States.
Now, who should the world believe, between you, with mono-vision, and DDG, with dual vision?

"DDG is not alone. Chris Brown was in Nigeria and was so wowed by the experience that he expressed strong affection for Nigeria. Ciara was here last October and loved Nigeria so much that she took a Nigerian name and expressed surprise at how safe she felt there. Mark Zuckerberg, the 6th richest man on Earth, jogged in Nigeria without security. 50 Cent expressed love for our culture, while Kanye West described Nigerians as having some of the best work ethics.

"Not everyone is like you, or that female rapper who has never visited Nigeria, yet believes protecting Christians in Nigeria is about music that glorifies soft porn and promotes premarital sex!

"Nigeria is a great country, and will be an even greater country with patriotic citizens, who market her to the world!"
