When Barack Obama became the President of United States Kenyans celebrated more than even the US citizens. Now there is a fever in town sweeping households everywhere, Lupita Nyongo is a household name in Kenya. Parents have gone further to naming their newborns after Oscars winner Lupita Nyongo. It is now very common to find an infant named 'Oscars Nyongo'.
This fever has now spread to even schools with a school in Dandora estate of Nairobi being renamed in honor of Oscar winner, Lupita Nyong’o. Formerly known as Eagles Safe Hand Education Centre, the private school will now be known as Lupita Bright Stars Educational Centre. According to the school’s founder, Alice Anyasi Shiangala that was her way of celebrating Lupita.
“I decided to rename my school after watching Lupita’s father, Prof Anyang’ Nyong’o, being interviewed by Jeff Koinange on KTN. I was touched by her story. She is a true star who deserves better recognition. She has brought fame to our country,”
“I talked to my husband about changing the school’s name and he agreed. We are now working on the legal process, including replacing old sign posts and banners.”
This is the only way to celebrate those who bring pride and fame to our country. The school is also set for expansion.
