Comedian and social media personality Elsa Majimbo has offered a prize of 1000 USD, the equivalent of Sh153K for anyone who is up to the challenge.
To earn the prize of USD1,000 (the equivalent of almost Sh153K), one has to do some research on her relationship with her motherland, Kenya.
Taking to social media, Majimbo disclosed that anyone who can produce a video of the social media personality professing her hate for Kenya is assured of the money.
“I will pay $1000 to anyone who can produce a video of me saying the words ‘I hate Kenya’, “ Majimbo stated on her X page.
She denied claims that she hates Kenya without clarifying if she has plans to return to the country in the future.
"Everyone says I do when I don’t and have never said those words, and I never will,” she explained.
Her relationship with Kenya was the subject of an interview with Dubai-based vlogger Anash Bukhash on May 25 when she vowed never to return to Kenya.
"I found happiness outside (of Kenya). I don't know where I am going, and yesterday my sister suggested travelling back to Nairobi to which I declined.
"It is the worst option possible. I will return to South Africa, where I know I have a home. South Africans supported and defended me from Kenyan bullies. Kenya is not that place (to call home). It is tough, but life is tough," Majimbo explained.
