A Kenyan criticized Lupita Nyong’o for allegedly being arrogant and forgetting her roots.
The critic questioned what Nyong’o has done for Kenya, suggesting she has prioritized her international acting career over contributing to her home country.
The criticism included a suggestion that Nyong’o could have used her resources differently, such as donating to support students in her county instead of spending money on expensive clothing.
The critic expressed dissatisfaction with praising individuals who do not contribute positively to their country, opting instead for self-promotion.
The full critique reads:
"So I’m perusing today’s Nation and I find that Lupita Nyongo is in Kenya. Okay, I know I’m a pessimist as some of you may say; but tell me, What exactly Has Lupita done for Kenya – her mother & fatherland?
She has opted to donate her good talent of acting to the White-man. She’d rather have taken the 14m she used to buy one of her dresses that had been stolen to pay bursaries to some students in her County.
I mean, it’s totally nonsensical to praise people who have no regard for their country; people who have the ability to make a difference to a good number of Kenyans, but opt to use hundreds of millions for publicity (read showoff).
I know her father is a Politician which makes me understand her daughter very well. I know she’s the most beautiful Lady in the world as the White’s magazines suggested but in Kenya she’s the ugliest – otherwise what has that beauty done for us? Just attending a wedding for her sister yesterday?
I chose to be open-minded. I vowed never to worship good for nothing celebrities. Take that to the bank and it’ll surely earn you interest.
My opinion my choice!
