Esther Arunga’s Husband: Kenyan Media is ruled by Satan; Warns Lupita to Stay Away from Them or else She will Later Regret
Celebs and the media are familiar bed fellows. Celebs always want to be famous; they want to be seen, and that’s why they don’t mind their pictures taken, because if they get on the covers of magazines and get noticed. However, what happens when they fall out?
Over the weekend, Quincy Timberlake – former KTN anchor, Esther Arunga’s husband – took a swipe at the Kenyan media declaring that it’s “ruled by satan. Quincy insists that “there is no Kenyan news media. There’s simply a bunch of people on television and in newspapers who are ranking members of the parallel interests commercially and politically amongst other spheres.”
Responding to an article penned by actor Gerald Langiri of Actors.co.ke on allegations that Lupita Nyong’o snubbed an interview with a Kenyan newspaper, an acrimonious Quincy wrote;
Kenyan media is ruled by Satan. But yet I wonder if many Christians fully understand that because almost all of them have become its pied pipers. All media exists to invest into our lives artificial perceptions and arbitrary values. The media needs superheroes in every sphere of life. There is however a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line. Lupita has every right to decline Kenyan interviews at all costs. She should know that Kenyan media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism. We will never forget what lives its dragged underneath the earth’s base and how much litres of blood its drunk from its wine glass to which we were primary victims. Kenyan media practitioners are a bunch that respect no one except in the case where a person sells stories and fill their pockets at the expense of another.
This is how they maltreated us for their own gain. Instead of building their future markets, they expect you to search for and find them yourself. What if – when you were a nobody in their eyes – they believed they had “blacked you out” and you ignored them? You proceed to shine, they search for you; you turn them down, you become the villain. They don’t know how to nurture what they find. Instead they start manufacturing hate speech and defamation in order to sell. Lupita Nyong’o needs to stay away from this bunch or else she will later regret. There is no other business where the customer is always wrong except the Kenyan media. As for me, I will not quit this game because of what they have done to me. To beat the heinous Kenyan media, I became media myself. Mudslinging and fear insertion are riding high in the Kenyan media. Social media is called social media for a reason. It lends itself to sharing rather than horn-tooting. It is soon becoming my best arsenal and with a gagged Kenyan media, they will be ridden over. Howbeit, we will make it as we have made it in the yester second. We have refused to be brought down by this bunch of horn-hooters. Toes of Devil indeed…
I agree with this line: “So yes, while Lupita (again, if that story is true) has a right to say no to being interviewed by a Kenyan newspaper because they dint bother about her when she was in Kenya and had to wait for her to be a sensation in Hollywood for them to want to have a piece of her and claim her, I agree that media houses should put in more efforts to market actors in Kenya locally first and not wait for them to “Vuka boda”. Same goes for our audiences. Appreciate our actors, musicians and artists in general while they are at home and not when they have been claimed by other countries because it seems that kenyans will only appreciate you when you die or when you go to a foreign country and make it there.”
Unfortunately, there is no Kenyan news media. There’s simply a bunch of people on television and in newspapers who are ranking members of the parallel interests commercially and politically amongst other spheres. They use that platform to fight their already or would-be “foes” – personalities deemed as threats either positively or negatively. Kenyan media needs to grow up and learn instead of launching stinger missiles en-masse at anyone who freely expresses their opinions about them while on the contrary, they always think it is their right to “freely” express themselves. The Kenyan Media: To me it sounds like a convention of snipoterrorists with no suicide bombing plans but with intentions to emotiomutilate subjects of their “interests”. What a bunch of big feet survivalists at the expense of the victimised souls while they hide their own vile stench deep in their hearts’ valleys!!! Msscchheewwwww!!!
Do you agree with him?
