Lights Out For TV Presenter Janet Kanini Ikua

Today, Kenya fell into a dark oblivion as one of its most prolific journalists passed on after a well fought battle with cancer. Her seemingly never ending smile is no more. She breathed her last the morning of 1st April. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and had been in and out of hospital before finally being declared cancer free.
Janet Kanini Ikua spent her last days sensitizing the public on cancer through her social media accounts and collaborations with various cancer outreach groups. The mother of two will dearly be missed by many of her fans, family and friends. She was the host of N-soko property show before embarking on her treatment program. I was personally a great fan of the show and her departure is definitely a big loss.
Many Kenyans took to social media to express their shock and sadness over the untimely death of journalist. She is an alumni of Kenyatta University where she met her husband and was a member of the traveling theater club.
One of her most memorable quotes was she telling all the victims and survivors of cancer to never let the disease still their joy. She was strong in sickness and will forever remain an inspiration to all.

Even when you don't get a miracle you can be a miracle. Prepare yourself for the Kingdom and inspire others. Don't let cancer steal your joy.

"God you take me right now, I am coming straight to heaven" ~ Janet #RIPJanetKaniniIkua
