In a battle of who can flaunt the most money on social media, media personality Oga Obinna has been caught in an editing fail. Obinna, whose real name is Thomas Maghana, shared a screenshot of his bank account balance in response to comedian Eric Omondi’s over Sh13 million cash flaunt on social media.
However, eagle-eyed Kenyans noticed that Obinna had edited his balance before making it public. The decimal point was in the wrong place, and there was an extra space after the decimal.
This led to a wave of mockery and ridicule on social media. Comedian Sande Bush alias Dr Ofweneke said, “Shida tu ni hapo kwa editing lakini pesa iko sawa.” (The problem is only with the editing, but the money is okay.)
YY Comedian told Obinna, “Kwa current balance after decimal wameongeza space kubwa sana. (In the current balance, they have added a very large space after the decimal.)”
Obinna has since deleted the post and apologized for the error. He claimed that he would have remained humble and not shown off how ‘wealthy he was’ were it not for Omondi annoying him.
However, he ended up “stooping too low” and disclosing his bank balance to the world.
This incident is a reminder that social media can be a dangerous place. When people are trying to impress others, they may be tempted to lie or exaggerate. It is important to be critical of what you see online and to remember that not everything is as it seems.
