Who Is Edgar Obare? A Closer Look Into The Life Of Kenya's Nosiest Man

Edgar Obare is slowing emerging as a Kenyan celebrity's worst nightmare. He has established himself as the man who loves to gossip and gossips good in front of a camera. 

Single handedly he managed to expose Terrence Creative as a serial cheater and flushed him out of his hideout to address the cheating allegations he had tried to downplay.

Terrence Creative Cheating on Milly Chebby

Along with Terrence, Edgar exposed Milly Chebby as the lady who brings down younger women by threatening to unleash Mungiki on them for seducing her husband instead of confronting the said husband for cheating on her.

No man or woman has made more videos about the life of a celebrity in Kenya than Edgar did on Terrence. He went 8 videos deep, going as far as looking for the pretty young thing Terrence had an affair with.

Edgar Obare was so vicious with his coverage of the infidelity story that his series of videos trended on Twitter and Instagram. You know something is real when a YouTube couple takes a trip to Naivasha to prove to the public that their perfect public persona is still intact.

WaJesus Family's Hoodies Scandal

With this story Edgar installed himself as the most authoritative gossip hub. Realizing his newly found power, he went for the big boys club. The WaJesus Family. As it turns out, the waJesus Family has been doing some unJesus like things.

Edgar left no holds barred as he tore into the WaJesus Family's habit of copy-striking smaller content creators on YouTube. He also accused them of scamming an unknown hoodies designer and their followers.

Apparently, the WaJesus Family buys hoodies from the unknown designer and sells the hoodies to their gullible followers at five times the original price.  The plot twist comes when it becomes clear that it is Terrence and his wife who were Edgar's source on the WaJesus story.

Nelly Mwangi Dumped by her Husband

The latest victim of Edgar Obare is Nelly Mwangi of the Geek on Fashion Instagram brand. Edgar Obare has a theory that she was dumped by her husband.

He is feeding this theory to his ever thirsty audience and as you would expect, he has Nelly Mwangi triggered and restless. So triggered is Nelly Mwangi that she uploaded a video showing the hand of her new man to prove that she is okay shortly after Edgar Obare published his theory.

But who exactly is Edgar Obare? His life is barely known. So much for someone who has literally made the life of others his business.

The most sound reason why much about Edgar Obare isn't known is because nobody cares about him. He is what is commonly known in the field he is in as an insignificant figure.

Edgar Obare: Modelling, Vlogging, Gossip

Edgar Obare studied at the United States International University and then proceeded to Europe for a masters in computer science. He is a widely traveled man with an impressive Instagram to show for it.

During his time at USIU, he tried modelling and even contested the Mr and Miss USIU beauty pageant. He failed.

When doing his masters, Edgar was a vlogger, perhaps hoping to cash in on Kenyans' love for those living in the diaspora. The vlogging route did not yield much especially because he had a broken leg and spent much of the time complaining and whining about the pain he was feeling as a result of the broken leg.

As luck would have it, Edgar ventured into a niche that many had not discovered yet as soon as he landed in the country. Nearly 40,000 subscribers later, he is what every vlogger wishes to be. Many who are fighting for the piece of the pie are struggling to keep up. Mkamburi Chigogo, the loud mouthpiece from the Coast is one of them.

So, who is Edgar Obare? Edgar Obare is just a man.

Eric Omondi Comes Out As Transgender

Eric Omondi's love for cross-dressing has for a long time raised questions surrounding his gender identity but now he has come out to make it clear.

The comedian who has a child with Jacque Maribe is known to upload wild videos on Instagram in a bid to draw attention. He was once on the spot for indecent behavior over a video he made while he was in Turkana.

In general however, this has worked hugely for him. He has more than two million followers on Instagram and a considerable following on YouTube and Facebook.

A post shared by Eric Omondi (@ericomondi) on Nov 15, 2019 at 12:21am PST

People who are close to the comedian claim that he recently came out to his friends and close relatives as transgender. This is also said to be the reason his Italian girlfriend broke ties with him because she was uncomfortable with this side of Eric Omondi.

Kenya is a relatively homophobic society and Eric Omondi has been the subject of homophobic slurs waged against the LGBT community in Kenya.

Many friends of the celebrity came out to make fun of this latest stunt telling him that he seemed to be enjoying cross dressing.

Gilad Milo: Mr. President...Your Highness 👑...bro...Eric... I'm worried about you.. unaona najua kazi ni kazi lakini it looks like you're enjoying this to much 😂😂😂

Nameless Kenya: 😳 Call me... We need to talk.

Christine Wawira: Omfg I thought this was a chick!! I didn’t realize it was you for a few seconds! I’m shook!! 😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾

We cannot verified the sentiments made by people close to Eric Omondi claiming that he is transgender. Daily Updates supports him.

Ruto Sycophant Boni Khalwale Explains Why He Was Throwing Stones In Kibra

Disgraced former senator of Kakamega County Dr Boni Khalwale has for the first time commented on the shameful pictures doing rounds on social media.

The man, who is a medical doctor by training, was pictured engaging in a battle of stone throwing with a gang of youth who were trying to drive him out of Kibra. He was in the constituency as a Jubilee agent for MacDonald Mariga.

Senator Khalwale claims he was acting in self defense after the police failed to protect him against the rowdy youth.

He further blamed cabinet secretary Fred Matiang'i and the Inspector General Hillary Mutyambai for his woes claiming that the police watched as the youth waged violence against him and other Jubilee leaders.

Speaking to Daily Updates in Kakamega, Boni swore that no amount of violence would compel the Luhya to vote for someone whose political ideologies they did not share.

Boni Khalwale lost the gubernatorial race to Wycliffe Oparanya under the party of Moses Wetangula. He has since jumped ship and become one of Ruto's staunchest supporters.

Many have accused him of depending on William Ruto for handouts and having no political stand of his own.
