THE CORNER KICK | Obama Should Repeat What He Did Over The Weekend When He Sets Foot In Kenya On Friday

The leader of the free world is set to visit the country later this week and Kenyans cannot wait any more. But before his much anticipated visit, Barack Obama, whose father was born in Kenya, ensured that he did the extra-ordinary thing over the weekend.

The US President was captured taking his two beautiful girls out on Friday night and made a stop in one of the clubs in New York to get some hip hop refreshment.

This latest action from the man who made history when he became the first American black President got every tongue wagging across the globe.

Remember Malia Obama, the girl who has got Kenyan pedophiles salivating for her? Well, she was in the company of his father as they went out to enjoy themselves.

As we brace ourselves to welcome the free world to Kenya, Obama’s latest action left me thinking hard. What if the US president pulls one more surprise when he lands in the country.

I mean what if he requests that the likes of Octopizzo, Khlaigraph Jones, MDQ, Jaguar, Nameless, Sauti Sol and other artistes just organize for a concert at let’s say the Carnivore and he attends to hear what Kenyan artistes have.

I guess this will be the biggest scoop for not only the artistes but also the Kenyan industry. Just imagine Obama listening to Kenya music.

Amid criticism that Kenyan music is pathetic, Obama should just pull this surprise to save our industry.

As this is one of the many things he should do to the entertainment industry in Kenya, I wonder if his visit will really help the Kenyan artistes in any way.

Has anyone drawn a plan on how this can be achieved? Our industry direly needs Obama’s help. I tried to research over the weekend on how the Obama administration has helped the American showbiz industry grow and the only thing that I landed into was what he did on Friday.

An article highlighted how Obama’s regular night outs with his family helped promote artistes in the US. It said that by listening and appreciating some music, the artistes become celebs overnight.

Obama’s admin has also created a very conducive environment for artistes in the US to do their thing. No one is censored for doing their thing. Kenya is a bit different. Ask Sauti Sol and they will tell you this.

We are eagerly waiting to see what Obama has for Kenyan artistes.
