Here is what Quincy had to say on his official facebook page; your thoughts??????
All media exists to invest into our lives artificial perceptions and
arbitrary values. The media needs superheroes in every sphere of life.
There is however a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing
line. Lupita has every right to decline Kenyan interviews at all costs.
Kenyan media practitioners are a bunch that respect no one except in the
case where a person sells stories and fill their pockets at the expense
of another. This is how they maltreated us for their own gain. Instead
of building their future markets, they expect you to search for and find
them yourself. What if - when you were a nobody in their eyes - they
believed they had "blacked you out" and you ignored them? You proceed to
shine, they search for you, you turn them down. You become the villain.
They don't know how to nurture what they find. Instead they start
manufacturing hate speech and defamation in order to sell. Lupita
Nyong'o needs to stay away from this bunch or else she will later
regret. There is no other business where the customer is always wrong
except the Kenyan media. As for me, I will not quit this game because of
what they have done to me. To beat the heinous Kenyan media, I became
media myself.
My fellow erudite Diaspora Messenger, I agree with
this line: "So yes, while Lupita (again, if that story is true) has a
right to say no to being interviewed by a Kenyan newspaper because they
dint bother about her when she was in Kenya and had to wait for her to
be a sensation in Hollywood for them to want to have a piece of her and
claim her, I agree that media houses should put in more efforts to
market actors in Kenya locally first and not wait for them to “Vuka
boda”. Same goes for our audiences. Appreciate our actors, musicians and
artists in general while they are at home and not when they have been
claimed by other countries because it seems that kenyans will only
appreciate you when you die or when you go to a foreign country and make
it there."
Unfortunately, there is no Kenyan news media. There's
simply a bunch of people on television and in newspapers who are ranking
members of the parallel interests commercially and politically amongst
other spheres. They use that platform to fight their already or would-be
"foes" - personalities deemed as threats either positively or
negatively. Kenyan media needs to grow up and learn instead of launching
stinger missiles en-masse at anyone who freely expresses their opinions
about them while on the contrary, they always think it is their right
to "freely" express themselves. The Kenyan Media: To me it sounds like a
convention of snipoterrorists with no suicide bombing plans but with
intentions to emotiomutilate subjects of their "interests
