Her style of writing sounds the same (to death) was Wanja Kavengi's used to. Her name is Esther Wavinya (note the similar sound of the surnames; you can tell which Kenyan tribe that is) and she runs a Kenyan blog that is all about poems and stories. Wanja's meetup profile (see in the photo below) has the same description and has been running for five good years!

Here's Esther's blog description:

Here's Wanja Kavengi's Meet Up description (not the poems and stories part)

Here's are some of Wanja Kavengi's posts that Esther put up on her blog:

Notice the name Esther Wavinya at the bottom left of the pictures?

When news came out that the parody account was revealed, she was quick to console herself (see the Meet Up profile above):

Esther used to collect stories even in 2013 and post them on her Facebook and blog. Below is a sample of a story she lifted from a blog and posted it as a note on her FB page;

Her style of writing has this weird similarity to an article titled . She basically lifts stories off sites, perfects them and credits them. It has paid off since she gets more than 2K shares on average - translating into money in the bank.

I am wowed by all these "coincidences." Below is a quote from how to know you've been single for long;

"You’ve been single for too long if:

1. You always pass by a little restaurant on your way home for “take away” that you’ll eat straight from the pack.

2. The only time you eat home-made food is when you visit your mother.

3. Where she gives you a few recipes for one.

4. You do not see any need for password-locking your phone.

5. Or going with it to the bathroom.

6. The only Valentine’s Day messages and cards you get are from your parents and little brother or sister.

7. No one asks you for relationship advice.

8. Your bathing soap/shower gel and toothpaste takes forever to get finished."

9. The only person you have undressed for is your doctor."

When Kavengi was exposed as a parody account, Esther felt like dying inside and this is what she posted on Facebook: A link to her blog showing how she adored the lady. Could it be a stunt to fool his 1000+ followers? (note the part of the title with "stories and poems from Kenyans and relate it to Wanja's Meet Up profile. She loved to write poems and stories.)

This tweet of hers shows that she could be having relationship issues...and she's not an expert to know how to deal with it;

Esther seems to know more about the Wanja inside story more than anyone else.
