KTN’s Betty Kyallo Grabs Nation’s Njoki Chege By The Collar, Pulls Her Up and Tells Her, ‘Shut Up B*tch!’ (Evidence)
The day is Thursday, and the date is 15. Njoki Chege, one of the most controversial young writers in the 254, has been making a lot of noise on her Daily Nation column. She has courted enough controversy to irritate even the unborn and the ancestors.
This week she just hit Blue Subaru owners below their belts. She blasted them by calling them poor and cheap fame seekers. These are men and women who have struggled to make ends meet and by God’s grace they have grabbed a blue Subaru as their dream car.
Plus these ladies and gentlemen have managed to buy themselves a smart phone which they can use for various purposes. They also can afford to buy themselves a bottle of liquor to quench their thirst after a long busy week. They are middle class men and women.
And then here is a young girl who has not tasted life enough bashing at the little they have, completely ignoring the efforts they have made to become what they are today. All she cares about are parastatal heads, MDs, CEOs and managers of big companies driving crazy cars that leave Nairobians covering their mouths in amusement.
Today as Njoki Chege ranted once again on Blue Subaru owners, she hits KTN’s Betty Kyallo on her twins. Betty feels the pain and decides to teach Njoki Chege a lesson she will never forget.
You see my friend, Betty Kyallo is a Subaru enthusiast. She has a big crush on subarus and cars in general. In fact she drives a Subaru which sometimes almost killed her. So Njoki Chege has closed the red line with her rant.
Betty walks up to Njoki, demands answers why she cant give blue Subaru owners their peace. As expected, Njoki ako na kiherehere. She pushes Betty away. Betty reacts angrily like a typical rattled Kamba lady. She walks up to Njoki Chege, grabs her blouse’s collar and tells, ‘B*tch would you mind shutting up and listen to this!”
She goes on to tell her:

“BLUE SUBARU UPRISING
There are some people … hahaha… who am I kidding, just one person who has decided to use their space to misinform and insult people based on what I can only imagine as their own insecurities. Usually I don’t care, but there has been a constant vilification (that’s criticism for you) of Subaru owners and especially BLUE SUBARUS … which is utterly juvenile… so indulge me for a second.
Motoring aficionados like myself appreciate a good vehicle, more so a championship winning one like Subaru. As a young child many years ago, my bedroom wall was cluttered with newspaper cuttings of Patrick Njiru’s BAT sponsored Subaru literally jumping off a deep rut at full throttle.
This image is still vivid today some 20 years later. As a child I asked myself what made a Subaru A Subaru: is it the loud ear splitting exhaust note or the deep engine warble of the EJ20TT flat four with 16 valves? These questions became my focus for many years until I became well aware of what makes the Subaru brand achieve such love and (undeserved, infantile and always ignorant) hatred at the same time.
The founding fathers at Subaru wanted to be different from the Toyotas and Nissan’s that had already made a name for themselves in Japan and beyond. With extensive knowledge from the aviation industry, Fuji Heavy industries (Subaru’s parent company) decided to power their vehicles with the aircraft derived ‘boxer’ engine coupled with its symmetrical drive train layout.
Get it? … Good!
Three world championships later and Subaru became a success story. The 555 Impreza with the blue and yellow livery, massive rear spoiler, ear deafening exhaust with gold Enkei rims became synonymous with every 12 year old in the 1990’s.
Back to reality all the boys and girls (oh yes… we love them too) who loved Subaru are grown now, with the ability to buy that Subaru that made them feel like super heroes. So when you see a fast and loud Subaru zoom past you (if you are able to), remember that that’s a man or a woman living a childhood dream. Yes sometimes these ‘boys’ get carried away with these fast machines but always remember when you are in your tiny hatchback, don’t hate but appreciate.
The thrill derived from driving a turbo-charged Subaru is second to none, that handling precision of its dual inverted struts, 300 Horse Power + 2000cc EJ20TT engine and symmetrical all wheel drive with driver controlled central differential unit all in one package is a heavenly feeling that your hatchback will never at any time achieve.
Word to the ignorant, you cannot judge a person by the car he/she drives… but seeing as you already have, you have inaccurately labeled the Subaru driver a ‘boy’. But you know or maybe you don’t… Boys don’t handle heavy machinery like the Subie and only boys care for such ludicrous opinions. Peace!
Betty Kyallo, Proud BLUE Subaru Owner, Car enthusiast”.
I want to assume this came with a slap on Njoki Chege.
It is Thursday good people. It is #TBT. This happened in January 15, 2015 when Betty responded to Njoki through her facebook account.She, however, did not grab her collar, neither did she call her b*tch. How else would you click had I not put that in the title?
What a throwback!
