Robert Alai & NTV’s Larry Madowo Embroiled in a Fierce Fight
On Wednesday night, Dr. Christian Turner, the British High Commissioner to Kenya hosted a dinner of a kind at his residence that attracted Kenya’s top twitterati among other tech savvy stakeholders.
Dubbed #EatTweet2 the occasion was meant to discuss the impacts of social media usage and the ethics that comes with it. While all the Twitter bigwigs engaged in the trending topic, the night didn’t end without some drama pitting NTV’s Larry Madowo and blogger Robert Alai.
Alai
It was Larry who fired the first salvo when he tweeted that Alai is responsible for this huge echo chamber of nonsense on Twitter and so it was ironical that he’d talk of being responsible.
I think @RobertAlai is responsible for this huge echo chamber of nonsense on Twitter. Funny that he’d talk of being responsible #EatTweet2

Alai didn’t take it lying down and he immediately responded saying Madowo was just seeking attention and maybe to get some street credibility.
@LarryMadowo such attention seeking and maybe looking for some street cred. You get bitchy when you don’t agree with it. Ok! #EatTweet2

It didn’t end as Alai had more to say;
What made madowo famous was picking tweed with me and now he blurbs how I say this or that about him. Bitchy!!! #EatTweet2

The feud seemed to attracted other parties and it wasn’t just anyone but Ronnie Osumba who said;
As @LarryMadowo takes on @RobertAlai on going personal on social media. Lol. This evening has just begun #EatTweet2
— Ronnie Osumba (@RonnieOsumba) June 4, 2014
But Alai wasn’t done tearing into the Trend host;
@RonnieOsumba he became famous out of bashing me on Twitter. Hypocritical. @LarryMadowo #EatTweet2
— Robert Alai (@RobertAlai) June 4, 2014
At this point, Larry decided to make it clear that he has nothing against Alai;
@RonnieOsumba I have nothing against @RobertAlai, I just fundamentally disagree with him & his style
— Larry Madowo (@LarryMadowo) June 4, 2014
But Alai couldn’t take none of it;
@LarryMadowo and you expect me to agree with you and your style? You must be very democratic. #EatTweet2 @RonnieOsumba
