06 March 2022

• "They made me stronger, made me work harder, and made me better. Let me take this opportunity to thank everyone that FIRED me, PUSHED me away, CANCELLED me or MISTREATED me in a personal or professional position, ASANTENI. Without that, I wouldn't have worked harder maybe."

Comedian Obinna is the new morning show co-host on Kiss FM. He joins Kamene Goro on the top radio show in Kenya.

Obinna revealed, "I'm the only radio presenter to have done the whole 9 yards, started with late-night show, then evening, then midmorning, then drive, and now breakfast. I'm contented."

Adding, "To all my former colleagues and bosses, asanteni for ya'll are the reason why this is possible. You all played a pivotal role in teaching me, sharpening me, and guiding me well as you prepared me for this position and I won't let all of you down. I got this."

Announcing his new job, Obinna recounted how his journey to getting the job was not easy.

An emotional Obinna said, "One man's trash is another man's treasure. Wheh!! I have been REJECTED, FIRED, MISTREATED, GOSIPED, LAUGHED AT!! Not once, not twice, told how I wasn't worthy blah blah...however as I look back I realise all these have been blessings."

He added, "They made me stronger, made me work harder, and made me better. Let me take this opportunity to thank everyone that FIRED me, PUSHED me away, CANCELLED me or MISTREATED me in a personal or professional position, ASANTENI. Without that, I wouldn't have worked harder maybe."

The comedian explained, "My whole life from childhood, to school to work I've always faced hard huddles and toxic energy but somehow God just comes through when the devil thinks he has won. This time our God did it again."

He has done it for me and you should be grateful and rejoicing as you warm up because he is in the neighborhood. You my friend, workmate, fan He is coming for you next. This moment when you are at your lowest is when he will do his MIRACLE. Don't give up..sit tight. We are already at the bottom and there is only one way to go..UP."

He described himself as a "Village boy, working and chilling with the big boyz."
