Kenyan Comedian Oga Obinna Urges Kenyan Fans To Be More Appreciative
Kenyan comedian Oga Obinna has urged his fans to be more appreciative of comedians. In a post on his Instagram page, Obinna praised Ugandan fans for their warm and welcoming attitude towards comedians. He contrasted this with the behavior of some Kenyan fans, who he said are often easily offended by jokes.
“Ugandan fans pay for tickets, arrive on time, sit and watch the show with an open mind,” Obinna wrote. “Some jokes Kenyan fans find offensive in UG they receive them as what they are, JOKES!”
Obinna also said that Ugandan fans are more likely to reward comedians with cash. He recalled a recent show in Uganda where he was given an additional Ksh 334,000 (about US$3,000) by fans who enjoyed his performance.
“Kenyan fans kindly be like Ugandan Fans,” Obinna concluded. “Let’s make our industry better by supporting our comedians.”
Obinna’s post has generated a lot of discussion on social media. Some fans have agreed with his assessment, while others have defended Kenyan fans. However, Obinna’s post has sparked a conversation about the importance of appreciating comedians and the need for fans to be more open-minded.
