Kenyans and Tanzanians on social media are back at it yet again. A few weeks ago, Kenyans and Tanzanians on social media ‘fought’ over Oscar award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o.
The tiff between them started after a social media user claimed that Lupita is Tanzanian.
On 15 March, a Facebook user by the name Alipo Mwatujobe once again stirred the row with Kenyans following his comments on Lupita’s Facebook wall.
“Keep representing Tanzania to the world. Tanzania is proud of you,” he commented on a photo of Lupita alongside Black Panther co-star Chadwick Boseman, irking many Kenyans and prompting responses:
Nyambeki Bw'Onsarigo Alipo Mwatujobe am just curious whose father is from Tanzania? Chadwick maybe
Gibbs Jasuna So after snatching Kilimanjaro you now want our Lupita and soon you'll even claim our Obama....God forbid. You can have our President Uhuru, Ruto and Duale for free.
