This Is How Larry Madowo Met His Match In Davido…Larry Should Know People
Larry Madowo has remained the most present member of the NTV team ever since he made his debut almost 8 years ago after dropping out of Daystar University for reasons well known to him.
Since his bow, Larry has wowed many with his prowess before cameras, amassing an enviable amount of following on social media that leaves him yearning for social media glory with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Despite building an empire for himself as one of the most coveted and established anchors on TV in Kenya, Larry has again and again displayed perennial weaknesses which have helped to distance some followers away from him.
Unfortunately, they are weaknesses that seem to be innate in the anchor and which seem not to die any time soon. He has faced criticism in the recent past for being not only arrogant but also egoistic and ignorant of his immediate surrounding: the people.
Recently, Victoria Rubadri, Larry’s co-host at NTV lavished praise on him, terming him as the friendliest individual to work with. Well, when we asked Victoria this question, we never expected her to be honest after all.
For those who have religiously followed Larry’s shows on TV and his updates on social media, they will tell you that at some point Larry has deliberately disappointed. I remember a Moi university communication student posing a question to Larry on how he would become a better journalist. The student later threw an abuse to Larry after he ignored him. Larry posted the tantrum asking us our thoughts on the student. I asked myself, why did he not just answer the student? Why did he not post his question but chose to post a tantrum he had received?
The other day Larry was on the receiving end of rage from Kenyans after he conducted a ‘poor’ interview when he hosted controversial legislators Alfred Keter and Sonia Birdi who had been involved in an altercation at the Gilgil Weighbridge. I wrote a piece supporting Larry on this because I felt Kenyans were too harsh on him. He was right then because Keter and Sonia had blatantly messed.
Well, these and many more are some of the incidences that show how Larry has openly displayed is arrogance and lack of remorse and humanity. I remember when on February 14 Sue Watiri, a fellow writer here called Larry to ask him some things about Valentines. Larry was rude and told Sue off. That was so disrespectful.
Now fast forward to last evening when Larry hosted Nigerian wonder boy Davido on his The Trend Show. Larry bombarded Davido with a fleet of questions. One thing was evident from the word go: Larry had flopped starting from the setting.
He got out of Nation Centre and aligned all their equipment along Kimathi Street. It was here that he hosted this Oga boy who has before bragged how he needs no money because he comes from a very rich family in Nigeria.
Davido
Larry literally laughed to himself, answered his own questions and looked like an infidel busted with another man’s woman in a maize plantation. He literally got lowered so low that he looked like a big dupe. Those keen could see this from the beginning of the show as Victoria Rubadiri and Yvonne Mainge ushered in the self-proclaimed father of technology in Kenya.
Those who had to wait till the end of the show saw how Davido got pissed off and walked away as Larry requested him to perform for the viewers. That was 10 nil brother. Davido wasn’t going to stoop that low to perform on Kimathi Street considering he swims in colossal sums of wealth.
Isn’t this a case of Karma getting real? Well, I dedicate Larry Tarus Riley’s Karma meanwhile as he ponders on how to ban Davido from the Trend for life. He is contemplating this as he revealed yesterday. Karma is real brother. Don’t touch her. Don’t mess up with her. She will come someday to haunt you.
Look down upon me now but tomorrow it is your turn. This life is like a wave line with a straight line through it. Someday you are above the straight line, the other day you are below it. Take care.
Regardless, Davido was not justified in any way to disrespect the son of the land, was he?
