Kenyans make an interesting community of netizens that light up the social media with humour.
What’s more, a Kenyan can contribute to any topic under the sun and “mourn more than the bereaved” to the chagrin of those directly affected by an issue.
This was the case on Sunday, January 5 when President Donald Trump took to Facebook to hail United State’s military might by quoting the huge budget for arms.
“The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the best in the World,” Trump wrote, adding,
“If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way…and without hesitation!”
The update attracted mixed reactions with majority backing the president’s sentiments.
However, one Kenyan stole the show with a comment that injected fun into the otherwise grave matter of war.
The netizen going by the name NM Kahiga appealed to Trump to conduct the war in such a manner he’ll have a view of the missiles being dispatched to Iraq but at the same allow him enjoy his muratina (Kikuyu traditional brew) in peace.
“Bro Trump, I don’t have any problem seeing a missile passing over my farm here in Kenya on it’s way to Iran. Just make sure you don’t mess with my traditional liquor (Muratina) that am hiding in my farm.
And he made clear the threat:
“Otherwise my elders are preparing the worst possible curse,” wrote Kahiga.
The comment attracted hundreds of replies owing to its sheer hilarity.
Charlie Walker: NM Kahiga We are very accurate with our missiles, don’t worry. Send our love to the elders
Kevin Gerrard: NM Kahiga Thanks for a great laugh. We needed it. Peace and love!
Tracey Ryals-Frazier: NM Kahiga Drink up and be Merry.. promise to be accurate. 🙂 Blessings to you and your elders.
Greg James: NM Kahiga much love sent to Kenya from The USA ??. Bro NM Kahiga you sir have won the Internet for today.
Dan Green: NM Kahiga i’d be happy to send you a fresh bottle of Whiskey if President Trump accidentally spills yours!
Jessica Asbury: NM Kahiga … As they say in America, You are as “cool as a cucumber.” You my dear sir are more of what this world needs
And when Charlie Walker took to extolling accuracy of the Americam missiles, Kahiga saw an opportunity to ask for beer.
Charlie Walker: NM Kahiga We are very accurate with our missiles, don’t worry. Send our love to the elders.
NM Kahiga: Charlie Walker The elders are telling me they won’t mind having a taste of your best traditional liquor. Tell trump to drop several barrels of beer in Kenya instead of bombs.
Tension between US and Iran has peaked since the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani on Friday, January 6.
