Stupidity is when a jobless youth refers to a Billionaire as a Hustler. #WajingaNyinyi

A friend from the Netherlands asked me, "Do you believe that your country will ever change?" Without hesitation, I replied, "Yes." Perplexed by my confidence, she asked, "How can you be so sure?" I looked at her, smiled & then I said, "Because I am the revolution." #WajingaNyinyi

Kenya has about 50m citizens and less than 2000 elective positions. Ironically, when Kenyans get the opportunity to vote, they always pick the worst possible choices then spend the following 5 yrs crying. #WajingaNyinyi is a good piece of activist art. Thank you @RabbitTheKing

@RabbitTheKing's #WajingaNyinyi new release is evidence that we are a free country. He has used his creative licence to prick our conscience. Anyone defamed can seek legal redress, but as @InfoKfcb, we will not interfere with the production.
