Dem Wa Facebook Gifts Parents a Dream Home in Heartwarming Gesture
In a heartwarming display of gratitude and filial love, Kenyan comedian and content creator Dem Wa Facebook, whose real name is Millicent Ayuwa, has gifted her parents a brand-new, fully furnished three-bedroom house. This gesture not only signifies her personal success but serves as an inspiration to many, particularly the youth in her community.
The ceremony, which took place on December 15, 2024, was marked by an emotional outpouring from Ayuwa as she handed over the keys to her parents. The house, located in Kitale, represents a stark contrast to the humble beginnings from which Ayuwa rose to fame. Known for her humorous skits and unique content, especially in collaboration with media personality Oga Obinna, Ayuwa has captured the hearts of many across Kenya.
In a touching video from the event, Ayuwa struggled to hold back tears as she showed her parents the new home for the first time. The house, adorned with modern furnishings and high-quality interior decor, symbolizes her journey from a football-playing girl from Trans Nzoia to a successful comedian. During the handover, she expressed her heartfelt thanks to all who supported her throughout her career, emphasizing that building the house in her rural village was a deliberate choice to inspire and make a difference in her community.
“It’s not just about giving my parents a house; it’s about showing young people, especially young women, that with hard work, focus, and faith, you can achieve your dreams. I wanted to inspire those in my village to make better life choices, focus on education and personal growth, not rush into relationships or early pregnancies,” Ayuwa stated during her speech at the ceremony.
Ayuwa’s journey has been one of overcoming challenges. Raised in a modest background where her mother worked on farms and sold vegetables while her father made bricks, she found her calling in comedy after a football career was cut short by financial constraints. Her comedic talent was recognized when she auditioned for the popular “Churchill Live” show, where she earned her stage name “Dem Wa Facebook.”
Her success has not come without its hurdles; she faced skepticism and even accusations of occult involvement from some community members when she helped fund a girl’s return to school. Yet, her resilience and humor have continued to pave her way, culminating in this significant achievement of providing her parents with a home they can be proud of.
This act of generosity has been widely celebrated on social media, with posts from platforms like X (formerly Twitter) showcasing the event, lauding Ayuwa’s commitment to her family and her community. “Just to inspire my fellow youth that nothing is impossible, let’s keep pushing and believing in God. Your time is coming,” Ayuwa captioned her post, encouraging others to strive for their aspirations.
Media personality Oga Obinna and other content creators have publicly congratulated Ayuwa, highlighting her as a testament to what determination and talent can achieve. “I hope all women from everywhere in the world have today realized that it is possible!!!” wrote Obinna, applauding her on social media.
With this house, Ayuwa not only secures a comfortable retirement for her parents but also cements her legacy as a beacon of hope and possibility for many in Kenya, proving that with dedication, one’s dreams can indeed become a reality.
