Nigerian author and social media influencer, Reno Omokri, has countered Afrobeats superstar, Davido, who is known for the popular phrase, “we rise by lifting others.”
In a post shared on his Twitter page, Reno Omokri argued that this commonly accepted belief is deceptive and frequently exploited by manipulators.
According to him, the crucial factor is not just lifting anyone but strategically choosing the right people to uplift.
He issued a warning against lifting people such as girlfriends, in-laws, or side chicks, suggesting that such actions may potentially lead to a downfall.
However, Omokri emphasized the importance of rising by uplifting one’s parents and spouse, stressing that “If you keep lifting others without first lifting yourself, you won’t rise.”
He said, “You rise by lifting others is a lie. It is a statement crafted and used by mani lators. You rise by lifting the right people. You don’t rise by lifting just anybody.
“If you lift your girlfriend, you will fall. If you lift your in-laws, you will fall. If you lift your side chick, you will lu le! Use wisdom to lift the right people.
“You rise by lifting your parents. You grow by lifting your wife. But the biggest arising you will experience is lifting yourself through self-awareness, self-management, and self- development.
“But if you keep lifting others without first lifting yourself, you won’t rise. Rather, you will be crhed by the sheer weight of their insatiable demands!”
KanyiDaily recalls that last year, Davido dumped “we rise by lifting others”, saying that his new motto is to make money and ignore critics.
