On a sunny Saturday in Mombasa, Trevor Ombija, a well-known news anchor at Citizen TV, accompanied his friend to a dowry negotiation ceremony at the Bahari Beach Hotel.
Sharing photos from the event on Instagram, Trevor captioned them, 'As the chairman of all Ruracios, I had to witness my brother taking the big step and in the process launch the #Mombasa chapter. Love always wins.'
However, his fans and colleagues couldn't help but notice the question he dodged, 'na msiniulize ile swali?'
Victoria Rubadiri, a colleague at Citizen TV, jokingly asked, 'Nangoja invite?'
Trevor responded with a lighthearted comment, 'Nitakuwa Chairman kwa yako pia… after you my friend… pia wewe toa jam… haujaona numbers za census?'
His colleagues, including Jamila Mohamed, couldn't resist poking fun at him, with Jamila commenting, 'Trevor, usioe.'
As the conversation continued, Trevor playfully responded to the questions, saying, 'Surely, mbona “hamskizi maagizo, maswali chungu nzima!” (Insert Coast accent) “Pilipili isiowasa inakiulia nini” (Insert Luo accent).'
