Larry Madowo Warns Njoki Chege To Stop Courting Controversy, And Talks His Experiences Off Social Media
Njoki Nchege is one woman who has got tongues wagging. Not just the masses but even those in the same newsroom with the controversial Nation writer.
She is one lady who has courted controversy through her unending rant on men who she calls cheap and not the type she would give a mind.
This seems not to go well with almost everybody, including her workmate Larry Madowo.
The Trend host, though not delving much into Njoki’s work, has simply wondered if she stills writes about men, blue subarus and instagram. In fact he expects that she should have stopped doing it.
“…And you don’t even have to ask, it’s crazy how Njoki Chege is always courting controversy. She should stop already.”
Larry then deviates away from the Njoki topic and gives an account of his experiences away from the social media.
To him, the two-weeks off that he gave himself helped him realize that social media wasn’t as holy as some have made it to look like.
“If I thought it would be “ill” I would have gone. I didn’t get restless to be missing the latest trending topic on whatever silly subject had the Internet’s attention. For the same brain-cell-killing effect, I had lots of trashy TV to catch up on. I feared that I would be woefully uninformed by not being on social media. I wasn’t, thanks to something strange called the news. Reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.”
Larry says that he never missed the social media and that he was better informed than he had fathomed. How? There was TV and radio and newspapers. The mainstream media, according to the celebrated anchor, is the best source of information, even though it depends to lean, to a large extent, to the social media.
Larry then went ahead to blast those flaunting anything and everything they come across on social media, to attract attention.
He also did not miss a word for bloggers. He said:
“There are trending topics to keep track of, celebrities to follow, pompous “bloggers” supposedly breaking stories the mainstream media won’t touch, and self-proclaimed bigwigs advertising their vainglorious ignorance.”
