DJ Evolve vs Babu Owino: Father made the right call

Posted on December 20, 2021 by Ozymandias

Like the rest of us, I am doubtless that DJ Evolve and his father like the idea and notion of justice. So I truly do believe that when the Dj was shot in the neck by Babu Owino, they were furious in their fight to get justice for their son.

Baba DJ Evolve denies dropping son’s case against Babu Owino for money

However, after they went through the dog and pony show to get their son treated and then pursue justice, Kenyans were dismayed to see that the family under the leadership of their patriarch had decided to drop all charges against the Embakasi East MP. It felt like they had sold out -because they had.

“I hear some people claiming that I exchanged my son’s case for money. What do people take me for? A callous man who would sell his son’s welfare the way a farmer would sell his goat at the market? I am a Christian, and my conscience wouldn’t allow me to do that.
I know there are people who would wish to see Babu Owino in jail. But, what would we gain if he is sent to prison and my son dies?”

However, upon further reflection, you will realise that what DJ Evolve’s father did was for his son’s benefit. Why? Because when you think about it, what he did is exactly what is needed to give his child the best possible outcome from the extremely shtty circumstances.

DJ Evolve was minding his own business, spinning the wheels of steel at the decks of BClub when he got shot in an incident that left him crippled from the neck down. Kenya is a shithole nation with no social security programs nor a social safety net for people in his situation. What that means is that if Babu Owino is successfully arrested and jailed, then they are left fighting to fend for what amounts to an invalid son.

It is a terrible burden to bear; deciding whether or not to punish the man who (unprovoked) put your son in this helpless situation or whether to be pragmatic and seek a way for you to alleviate his suffering and put him in a situation in which he can make ends meet and pay the bills for his healthcare.

“I want to focus on my recovery” DJ Evolve withdraws case against Babu Owino

You cannot imagine how difficult it must have been for him to utter the words “I have decided to forgive Babu Owino (the man who could easily have killed my son).” But in our hubris as Kenyans, we dare to shame him for not honouring our lofty ideals of justice like we had contributed a single cent to help him pay his son’s hospital bills. That is why I am firmly in the camp that supports his decision. It was what was in DJ Evolve’s best interests.

Now the uphill task will be holding Embakasi East’s finest to his word. No prizes for guessing how I think that will go. But time will tell. And that is where we as Kenyans need to actually support him and his son -ensuring the politician honours his promises to them because at the end of the day, in Kenya contracts and the law aren’t enough to hold the rich accountable and responsible.

How Babu Owino Handled DJ Evolve’s Current Tragedy Is Shameless

Posted on September 24, 2021 by Ozymandias

I get it, we all knew Babu Owino was shameless given the mere fact that he is a Kenyan politician (politicians are a low species but Kenyan politicians are trash) but the way he has handled DJ Evolve’s recent tragedy is just so low it is disgusting.

“I am now a changed man” Babu Owino speaks after opening up about his Cocaine and Heroin addiction

For those of you not in the know, allow me to remind you of how a video surfaced allegedly showing the Embakasi East Member of Parliament shooting DJ Evolve in the neck. Yup, that is a thing that mainstream media doesn’t do nearly enough to highlight.

And Babu Owino has since shown just how low a man he can be, devoid of honour as he used his victim’s plight to push his own agenda and fuel his PR engine to showcase himself as being a changed, even redeemed man.

And now, DJ Evolve’s family is reeling from the loss of their mother. She, unfortunately, passed away and guess who chose this as a moment to speak on? Was it DJ Evolve? Of course not, from all the reports we have received, mans can hardly speak. It was Babu Owino.

Yup, Babu Owino took to his social media account to start mouthing off about the fact that she is no longer with us. I just facepalmed myself so hard, I reset my factory settings.

Why did his handlers not tell him to remain silent? Why did the people around him allow him to stumble into this mess? Also, what is so hard about simply shutting the F up?

I mean, listen, we get it, he is a Kenyan politician and we should anticipate the worst and lowest behaviour from them but one would have to think that someone as smart as Babu Owino would know to control his lower instincts.

Babu Owino deserves no sympathy

As in, just let these issues go. Not everything demands a commentary. Some things just need to be marked by a sombre silence. Do not involve us in your shenanigans.

What babu should have done is to silently reach out to the family he adversely affected. That is all that matters. He needs to move in silence and actually try to get the family better. There is no reason for him to step into the spotlight. None!

But as I said, he is not just a politician, he is a Kenyan politician.

Babu Owino is on the spot but let’s not forget MP Jaguar’s fatal car accident

Posted on July 1, 2020 by Ozymandias

Babu Owino is currently in the crosshairs of the Kenyan public as citizens and netizens agitate for a victim in a shooting he is seen as culpable for, DJ Evolve.

Starehe MP Charles ‘Jaguar’ Kanyi arrested!

Kenyans have even set up a digital petition to call for the government and the judiciary, in particular, to see that the matter is not only speedily concluded but is also concluded in a just and fair manner.

The Babu Owino situation actually has injected some much needed civic participation in political matters as many had decried the perception the Embakasi East Member of Parliament had been cleansed of his past inequities by his acceptance of the BBI move and his eagerness to sing songs about it.

¨Forget lavish lifestyles and baby mamas¨ Starehe MP, Jaguar calls out Kenyan artistes

But even as we look into the matter and ensure DJ Evolve gets the justice he and indeed the rest of us Kenyans so desperately need, we need to remember yet another young member of parliament also had a situation that was resolved in a less than transparent manner and many felt justice had been cheated and defeated.

And in this part we are going to put away Babu Owino momentarily and focus on Starehe Member of Parliament Jaguar or as the government knows him, Charles Kanyi Njagua.

“My colleague, Hon. Babu Owino, will benefit from one!” Jaguar throws shade at Babu Owino after donating heavy duty mattress at Industrial Area prison

Does anyone remember that he was involved in some obscure capacity in an accident that was so sketchy the only clear aspect of it is that it resulted in the deaths of some pedestrians? And the outcome of that is that he ended up in court to answer for the accident that cost the lives of Kenyans and it was silently resolved in 2019.

The accident occurred at Makutano on the Nairobi-Nyeri highway, within Kirinyaga County on March 21, 2017 along Sagana and in February Jaguar who had some beef at one time with Babu Owino, was convicted of the deaths.

And he was apparently asked to pay forty thousand in restitution. Let that sink in. Two people died; a bodaboda operator and his passenger and what punishment was instituted against Jaguar? The princely sum of forty thousand Kenya shillings or 400 UsD.

How then can we say we do not understand why Babu Owino is unfazed with the cries for justice that a section of the Kenyan populace is making? He is clearly just following the logical observations made in the case of his colleague Jaguar. And now, Jaguar is currently in court facing charges of incitement in a country where post-election violence was an actual thing…

Let that realization sink in. We as a society expect the Babu Owinos and Jaguars not to act in a manner similar to this if they know that their actions will have no repercussions to meet them.

DJ Evolve’s story a sad reminder politicians like Babu Owino can get away with anything

Posted on June 30, 2020 by Ozymandias

DJ Evolve recently granted an interview to NTV in which he recounted what he can remember from the fateful night when Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino shot him in the neck. I should highlight the word allegedly because the way justice is set up in Kenya, even if we all saw a video “purportedly” showing the shooting, I do not want to fall afoul of the law.

DJ Evolve has since then been in hospital before only recently being discharged to the care of his family where he is still confined in a bed. Babu Owino however, has continued on with his life after a court granted him bail and he has gone on to politick about BBI.

And from the look of things, before DJ Evolve had spoken about the matter, Babu Owino had seemingly already been forgiven by the masses who had gone on to declare their love for him.

The reason why every woman including Vera is thirsting after Babu Owino

And you can’t help but wonder first about the intelligence of Kenyans who celebrate near murderers -because the truth is, Babu Owino has DJ Evolve’s God and his own ~~shit~~ aim to thank for the fact that he did not end DJ Evolve’s life.

The second is the realization that Babu Owino is not the first in a long line of Kenyan politicians who have been allowed to get away with downright criminal acts and all we do is forgive them because they are singing the political tune that is the most popular or in line with the sitting government of the days.

¨I will pay the bills but I already forgave myself¨ Babu Owino´s message as DJ Evolve turns a year older

The first to come to mind is former Kanu politician, Julius Ole Sunkuli. At the time of the accusations, Julius Sunkuli was a cabinet minister back in 1999 when two school-going, underage girls emerged and accused him of raping them. One of these accusations was alleged to have the evidence of a child which Sunkuli offered to pay for an abortion for but the girl in question refused.

Julius Sunkuli did not have to face the law for his actions, he faced no reprimand in parliament or even from his boss, then-President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi. These girls got no justice. And we as a people allowed this to happen.

New High Court ruling lessens Babu Owino´s bail terms

And the same seems to be what is in store for Babu Owino as he has been going on with his life as if he didn’t just paralyze a man and deny him the ability to earn a living as a DJ. Ofcourse, the loud folk at Twitter have been clamouring for justice but on this matter, I cannot see how they will manage to rage against the machine.

That doesn’t mean we should give up. We need to champion DJ Evolve’s role and ensure justice is served for this young man robbed of what could have been a rich life. I am doing my part, will you?
