Willis Raburu versus Oga Obinna

Raburu recently penned an emotional post, updating fans that he was leaving Citizen TV after working for 13 years.

Citizen TV unveiled Obinna as the new host for the show by sharing a video showing his eccentric hype during the show.

However, Raburu and Obinna have been trending on Twitter, with Kenyans expressing mixed reactions on whether anyone can fit the former's shoe on the show.

"Tonight’s host with the most. Oga Obinna hosting," shared Citizen TV on Twitter:

Kenyans reactions on show's host selection

@KenyanSays said:

"When Willis Raburu quit Citizen TV, they had to employ four people to fill his slots. There's a guy who does his sports show on Monday, a lady doing the Thursday cooking show. A Hot 96 presenter does his Friday morning show and now they've hired Obinna to do 10/10. It's called Impact!"

"Whoever suggested Oga Obina to replace Willis Raburu on 10over10 should be jailed. This is the worst show I have ever watched."

@lawrencekitema said:

"Willis Raburu was the 10over10 brand."

@omwambaKE said:

"10over10 was Willis Raburu. Obinna can only hype a different show, maybe 10 over 5."

@Samko_Autos said:

"Obinna is a perfect replacement."

@NdegwaAdv said:

"Congratulations to Oga Obina. One of Kenya's most talented MCs. He has this amazing ability to connect with every crowd thrown at him. Well deserved."

@BONFACE70127657 said:

"Sasa obinna is just good in gossip interviews...u can as well change the theme of the show."

@Mkurugenzi07 said:

"Obinna should be hosting this thing."

@njambifever said:

"Yet again, Oga Obinna replaces Raburu hapo 10/10. Entertainment industry faces ni zile zile. Lakini Kenya kusomea anything journalism related ungojee kazi kwa “TV” utakufa maskini. A simple reminder to build your connections. Hizo vitu ni important kuliko masomo."

Raburu says one boss didn't like his dreadlocks

Raburu narrated the challenges and stigma he faced after changing from short shaved hair to dreadlocks.

He revealed some people asked his then-boss SK Macharia to fire him for having dreads, but he didn't.

Raburu said after meeting Macharia, and he acknowledged the great job he was doing, he wasn't bothered about the opinion of his critics.
