NJOKI CHEGE DESERVES A STANDING OVATION

I had never paid much attention to Njoki Chege until the 3rd of October. The Saturday Nation Newspaper columnist succeeded in capturing the attention of the whole country, me inclusive.


Just a few hours after the publishing of the Saturday newspaper, she had already made the news."Njoki Chege does it again" was the slug on NTV News on Saturday evening. I can imagine the feeling of causing people's life to come to a total standstill just to talk about you. Isn't it awesome Njoki? I'm sure she made some people hate themselves more especially the plus size ladies.

I like the way people were so quick to attack her without thinking critically of what she said. What they don't know is, she is just a controversial writer. That is her way of getting some pennies and FYI they are not just pennies..it's good cash which is very well earned. You gotta put food on the table and maybe get to buy yourself some expensive perfume, right? Good! So I don't get why people are personalizing it.

Now this is why I suggest she should get a standing ovation. She is so brave. I can just imagine calling my mother 'the elephant in the room" I would get a good blow that would make me paralyzed for the rest of my life.

Second, her good command of English. Read all Njoki's articles and you will learn at least 10 new vocabularies in each article. She is an excellent writer.

Third, I think she did a good job not in the language she used but she told it in a way no one else would-the plain, harsh truth.

In every gossip there is always a truth in it, which is a saying i just created. So, Njoki just told you what you don't want to hear. I'll just echo what she said, "...my advice: shut up and work out". That's just the harsh truth, because we all know that accumulated fat in our bodies is not good for our health. So suck it up and act!
