10 Celebrities Who Command A Massive Following On Facebook. Churchill Tops The List While Citizen TV’s Beauties Scooped Two Spots
The social media has been the biggest frontier where celebrities have been using to flex their muscles; the following they command depicts their calibre and the influence they have.
If you want to measure the power of social media then better Google Arab Spring of mid-2012. Of 7.1 billion people calling planet earth home, 1.4 billion use Facebook alone. That simply tells you the social networking website has a broader reach than any form of media.
Back to Kenyan celebrities on Facebook, the King of Kenyan comedy is also the king of social media (Facebook.) Churchill is the ONLY Kenyan celebrity residing in the country having a Facebook page that has clocked the million mark. (Has over a million followers.)
Daniel “Churchill” Ndambuki aka Mwalimu King’ang’I has over 1.3 million followers. The page is the official outlet the comedian uses to reach out to his mammoth fans.
Having a big Facebook following also comes with its benefits. The obvious one being advertisers; they will literally be begging you to market their products. If you are following any of these social media bigwigs, you will notice their pages are being flooded with sometimes annoying link baits. (Attention seeking hyperlinks to other sites)
The frightening alpha female, Caroline Mutoko, settled for a second spot with the gap between Churchill and her (in terms of fan following) being similar to the rift between heaven and hell
Caroline commands a following of over a half million fans. Both her page and Churchill’s are verified by Facebook itself.
Citizen TV’s Lillian Muli and Julie Gichuru have also curved a niche for themselves on social media. They are ranked seventh and 6th and 7th respectively.
