Looks like Kenyans are not the only ones celebrating Lupita’s big win at the just concluded Academy awards. Our neighbours are also riding on her success story. One Ugandan tweeted;
“@marvinUG: I can see your obsession with #lupita now…..” a I am from the country next to the country where she from. Just owning it.

Burundian Record producer R kay has not been left behind either, he was all praises for her as he narrated how she directed Wahu and Bobby Wine’s music video.
“She was fantastic, but you see I have known her longer than that, I knew her when she was Miss Malaika. She is a pleasant person and a likable personality. What you have seen of her on TV and the various interviews that is who she is. Lupita winning the Oscar was very exciting. It is an amazing thing for her. what she has achieved many people dream of and not only in her field in all fields. It is amazing we cannot wait for one of us to also win a Grammy.”
