Mike Sonko Faces off with KOT on How Lupita Made it in Hollywood
The beat has been going on for the beautiful and talented newcomer Lupita Nyong’o. This award season in Hollywood, Lupita’s name has been on everyone’s lips after she took the film world by storm. Goodwill messages have been flying in from around the corner for the stunning young Kenyan.
Back home, the President, his wife and most recently flamboyant Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko delivered their laudatory messages to the silver screen queen.
The youthful senator tweeted, “Lupita Nyong’o is proof enough that when you want something then you can get it. It is up to u to decide Watu wangu”

However, one KOT seemed to differ with Sonko arguing, “…not in Kenya my Senator!,talent is killed,brains are suppressed n opportunities nepotised but Maybe things may change.”

Sonko’s response was sarcastic: “…and how did she make it? Ama Hollywood iko Kenya?”

But Hussein wasn’t giving up just yet;
“Sir,what chances would she have had if she didn’t bear the surname she has?”

But that also didn’t seem to hold water for the Senator;
“lupita’s second name didn’t get her to Hollywood. Ni talent. Hollywood hawaangali Jina yako wanaangalia ability,” adding, “and to answer your question hata Kama angekuwa anaitwa lupita kamau bado angechukuliwa. She would have made it still.”
