Former 1FM Presenter, Adelle Onyango, is Now Engaged
Right after leaving her job as 1FM radio presenter, Adelle Onyango is now engaged.
Is using your traumatic incident (rape, robbery e.t.c) to build your celebrity status wrong?
This was the question that came to my mind after I saw the photo below of the lovely Adelle Onyango that was causing a ruckus among Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) yesterday afternoon.

Tweets by these Twitter trolls below brought the matter to Team Ghafla's attention;
"@MediaMK - Is using your traumatic incident (rape, being robbery) to build your celebrity, wrong?"
"@Madonah12 - @sickolia_ hahahaha seriously thats just self marketing what ? Smh ."
"@sickolia_ @Madonah12 lol.people putting on tragedies as badges of honour.Lame"
I have also noticed that AdelleO's bio on Twitter/Facebook also reads the same as the photo above. What I get from this situation is that we need more brave women like AdelleO who can wear badges of their pain every day, all day. Remember we live in a country where victims of sexual abuse spend the rest of their days in silence, seclusion and eventually depression.
Abuse of the "Rape victim" tag would maybe amount to AdelleO using it to pursue her career interests, but frankly I haven't seen this yet. It is vital to note that AdelleO is not the only victim of such a traumatic incident among the Kenyan celebrity circles. Some have come out, some have not. Why haven't this other celebrities added the traumatic incident to their bios I don't know!
Since this is turning out to be an emotional roller coaster on my part, I'll let you leave your interesting responses in the comments section below..

Radio Presenter Writes A Poem Entitled: "There Is No God"
One FM radio presenter Adelle Onyango(pictured) is also famous for being a rather provocative poet outside of the booth. I discussed her poetry with her the other day, and she told me of her most thought-provoking poem which she aptly named "There Is No God." I don't want to give my own opinion about this one, lest I be lynched by a mob with flaming torches. Thankfully, however, Adelle gave me her permission to share the said poem with the Ghafla!Fans, so here it is:
