Owago Onyiro is not about to ruin his new business by engaging with Robert Alai who apparently insulted him this past weekend. According to reports, Alai called out Owago and Jalang’o for defending Mwalimu Churchill who is said to have not paid his comedians.
Speaking about this issue on Jalang’os YouTube show Owago encouraged fellow comedians to make use of the platform given to them by Churchill. He went on to use his fish business as an example; something that seems to have rubbed Alai the wrong way.
The outspoken blogger however could not and watch the two hide the truth, yet other comedians continue to suffer. through his Twitter account Alai wrote;
Jalango decided to insult struggling comedians who provide Churchill with content through that fool called Owago. Boss, Churchill has no content for his show so he depends on the comedians being insulted. Ask Churchill to do one episode of his show alone we see. Pay comedians.
Owago’s response
Knowing very well that Robert Alai is not the type of people you want to have a bitter exchange with on Twitter; Owago went on to issue a polite response where he thanked Alai for calling him a fool.
The new chef in town however made it clear that he was not backing down from his hustle; just because of other people’s (Alai) opinions. Surprisingly Owago used Mulamwah’s move to quit comedy as example saying;
“Hahaaaaaaaaaa thank you @robertalai for calling someone’s son a fool during his Mothers Day. God will make me wise one day. Once more thank you @mwalimchurchill for teaching me how to fish. To my big bro @jalangoo thank you for showing me how to survive in this city Nairobi. Mimi siwezi choma nguo kama @mulamwah …….. Labda mimi nichome tu Owago’s Fish. Forward ever, backward never. #TheProdigalSon,”
Owago’s new business
Alai and Owago got into this exchange barely one weeks after the blogger exposed churchill for not paying his comedians. According to Alai, Churchill show had been pocketing all the profit brought in by the comedians; however paying them had proven to be quite hard.
Having seen the post on social media; Mwalimu Churchill on the other hand went on to respond at Alai’s allegations saying.
Kila mtu ananiambia, I have to mention about cyber bullying. And I will say this, It’s Good to have critics, they help you move and progress in Life, lakini hakuna pillar moja utaona imetengenezwa ya critic. A critic is fan who wants you to do better than yourself.
And to the Keyboard warriors. Churchill had the following to say;
Na wale keyboard warriors ambao hupenda kuandika maneno, sio keyboard it’s you, hautaawahi ona mtu ambaye ameendelea maishani, a businessman kama kina Chris Kirubi, Manu Chandaria, trying to bring down someone because they know the journey they have taken, so as you write those things, make sure utangali huyo jamaa useme I wish there is a way I can help them up. That’s how we grow as a society, for me it’s all about positivity, that’s how we grow. I have never seen in my life any successful person trying to bringing someone down, because they know and respect each other.
