Njoki Chege taking ‘Mushenee’ to professional level at the expense of Journalism: If Vera Sidika is a professional prostitute, then Njoki Chege is a professional gossiper. Though they are both women, the only difference is that they use different tools of trade to lure unsuspecting attention.
No one really knows who Njoki Chege is by face until you mention what she does.
Her choreographed caricature on Saturday Nation Magazine actually portrays to be a shy, calm and reserved such a girl, though barely naïve.
I have watched helplessly experienced editors at Nation Group allow the controversial female writer move from professional journalism to professional chattering especially in her Saturday’s pieces.
It doesn’t need an experienced lawyer to pick lawsuit sentences in her much publicized pieces on Twitter and blogs.
For instance in one of her City Girl articles titled ‘Shisha Girls As The Scum Of Women Folk’, she said ”All you need is to buy her a pot of shisha await her blackout, drag her to your car’s back seat and she is all yours.”
In what seemed to be a part she was seemingly promoting rape culture and even advising rapists on how to rape her fellow women, Njoki Chege is a refreshing brutally honest woman who will tell you that women get raped because they seduce men.
When you read her articles while she was still budding up, they are not only informative but also educative to the magazine lovers.
Then the public trusted and decided to get behind her in support, immediately she got the numbers behind her, hell broke loose. Anything she says nowadays seems to be the Gospel Truth to her senior editors.
It seems that tyranny of numbers is also ruling at Daily Nation at the expense of the public interest.
Her articles have gone from public interest matters to her own personal publicity on a national public newspaper.
Being a writer who has interacted with nation hawk-eyed editors, I will imagine that some of her articles are deliberately slipped through and taken to ‘bed’ before publication while life informing articles are taken to the back burner.
I sympathized with ‘fat women’ as she referred to them in her previous article ‘Fat Women Let’s Tackle This Elephant in the Room.’
She defiled the laws of beauty in this article that she slated and stripped ‘overweight’ women by making them believe that only men cherished light weight and slim women.
“And there is definitely nothing sexy about those ill-advised women who post photos of themselves dressed in body contouring dresses and caption ‘Big is Beautiful’.” Part of her article read.
She continued, “There is no such single level-headed man in this world who loves a humorous woman, one so huge that she cannot bathe herself well,” the article went ahead to demoralize such women by telling them that they are overworking their men with their enormous sizes.
Why is she dispiriting women instead of boosting them?
I bet those two quotations seemed to them as big hauls of abuses in written form and more than personal.
After God creating the world and especially human beings in his own image, he blessed them and said that everything it was beautiful.
Secondly, as man of my own caliber, I honestly think big is beautiful and I have since had a taste of such women.
Furthermore, being thin and slimy is considered as a curse or unhealthy status in Africanism.
One unwritten fact is that the beautiful ones are not yet born, so is she despite the fact that she is not ‘fat’.
Did she ever know that not all men like her black skin colour, I bet most men prefer marrying a lady with skin colour lighter than their own, that is a free advice to her.
