UK Gospel Singer Condescendingly Refers to Citizen TV As “Smaller Budget TV Shows”
It’s always so unfortunate when renowned people from 1st World countries belittling the achievements of Kenyans. Not once, not twice but severally have Kenyan treated to condescension from guys from the West.
In 2012, Korean Air offended Kenyans in ad campaign that went viral by referring to Kenyans as “indigenous people full of primitive energy” KOT flexed their social media muscles prompting an apology from the airline. Late last year, Bishop TD Jakes caused a stir when he bragged that his Ministry is the reason why Kenya is up and running. “The natives all over Kenya drink water because of this ministry. And the hospital survives because of this ministry.” This as well didn’t go down well as KOT came out guns blazing forcing an apology from the Potter’s House minister.
Few hours ago, award-winning UK Gospel singer, Lurine Cato, referred to Citizen TV as “Smaller Budget TV Shows”. Commenting on a Facebook post by Lupita Nyong’o, the 2013 BEFFTA award winner said, “Thank u for never forgetting your back ground and that you chose to be interviewed on the smaller budget tv shows as well.”
Her comment came after Lupita had posted the promo video for exclusive interview with Lilian Muli which airs tonight (9PM) on Citizen TV.
Isn’t it so ironical that someone would refer to Kenya’s number one TV station as a “Smaller Budget TV Show” or is it just ignorance on their part?
