5 Reasons Why Njoki Chege Insulted Her Fellow Journalist On Her Daily Nation Column

Over the weekend, Kenya’s most annoying writer Njoki Chege decided to attack her fellow journalist Oliver Mathenge via her City Girl column on Daily Nation.yes, this time she decided to feed us with an issue that was of no public interest at all. She didn’t refer to the journalist by name but it wasn’t hard to tell which human being her tirade was directed to.

Now here is my first problem. If you are going to insult someone on national newspaper, at least have the decency and courage to call them out by name. In reference to the classic cliché, call a spade a spade or rather call a rabbit a rabbit just the way I did when I decided to attack rapper Rabbit last week.

What was Oliver Mathenge’s crime? Well, self-anointed judge Njoki Chege sentenced him to over 700 words of mockery for flaunting his wife too much on social media. She ordered the public to match Mr. Mathenge to the gallows for his ‘nauseating social media theatrics’ and ‘shameless public display of idiocy.’ -.

Funny enough, the crimes she accused this poor man of are not crimes at all. If it’s flaunting their pretty baes on Instagram, kenyan men do it. If it’s taking selfies, many men do it. It’s an acceptable trend. So forgive me if you are too ugly for the camera Miss Chege, I fail to understand what the hullabaloo is all about here. I personally get 300 likes on Instagram for posting a photo of myself sleeping on a desk. My thinking is, if you don’t like what someone is posting on social media, then simply tap the unfollow button. That’s common sense

The last time I wrote about Njoki Chege was way back in January and it was a clear KO but she has forced my fingers again. She enjoys attacking men for no justifiable reason. So I finally figured out what might have caused this lady to lambast a fellow journalist so viciously.

Writer’s block

This is the first and most likely reason. According to the urban dictionary, writer’s block is a condition, primarily associated with writing, in which a writer loses the ability to produce new work or experiences a creative slowdown. The condition ranges in difficulty from coming up with original ideas to being unable to come up with something interesting to write about. It happens to us writers from time to time.

How else can you explain an average looking woman taking her time to conjure up harsh descriptions about a successful married man? Njoki Chege probably had a deadline to beat and nothing to write about so Oliver Mathenge ended up being the unfortunate casualty

Jealousy

If you are going to keep showing people how marvelous your life is, there’s always bound to be jealousy from some quarters. Njoki Chege is just a jealous and bitter single girl who can’t stand seeing people in perfect relationships. I am certain she would relish having a man who would shower her with praises on social media from dusk till dawn. It’s just that she doesn’t have such a man and she probably never will. Cut the jealousy city girl

Courting controversy

Maybe this was another low rated episode of the Njoki Chege show where readers are subjected to some form of concocted controversy to juice digital hits. It’s a shame that hundreds of people who read her articles were left wondering why this foul mouthed young lady had forced personal issues down their throats instead of taking those same issues to her BFFs in the more decent form of moshene. Talk of misplaced ideas

More than meets the eye

Perhaps there’s more than meets the eye. At least that’s what the conspiracy theory portion of my brain suggests. Maybe the two have some form of history. In the article, there’s a part where Njoki Chege said, “He’s good-looking but too short for my liking”. This statement showed intense bitterness and opened up a can full of questions. Did he reject her? Did he chips funga her in a blue Subaru? Did he snob her in public? Did he tell her she was good for nothing? Actually, there’s an array of possibilities.

Or was it genuine concern?

Maybe Njoki Chege was genuinely concerned about Oliver Mathenge’s social media behavior. Still, she should have kept it to herself. Or if she really felt like writing about it, she should have done so on her personal blog. I don’t care what any other writer or blogger posts on social media. I would never attack them because of that. Kwa raha zao. We should all mind our own businesses. Thank you
