Renowned Kenyan comedian and actress, Jacky Vike, popularly known as Awinja, recently shared a humorous and relatable revelation that sparked varied reactions across the online community.
Taking to her social media account, the charismatic Luhya entertainer documented her visit to her alma mater, Kegoye High School, only to discover that it had undergone a significant transformation into an all-boys institution.
“Went to my High School nikapata siku hizi ni Boys School,” she humorously disclosed.
Despite the unexpected change, Awinja took a trip down memory lane, fondly reminiscing about the good old days. Among the specific things she found herself missing were the renowned ‘Ngumu,’ Ugali, and Githeri.
“Nilifika hapa nikatamani ile Ugali na Githeri ya Mwanji, nikamiss zile Kangumu za kiosk eeei, so nostalgic! Ok pia nilimiss,” she added.
The comment section of her post became a hub of shared experiences, with many users revealing that their own high schools had undergone similar transformations, either converting exclusively to boys’ or girls’ schools. This change often led to difficulties in convincing others of their high school experiences.
Josky Shams humorously inquired about the fate of the girls from Kegoye, recounting how they used to be romantically involved with boys from neighboring schools. Lucia Ruto expressed concern about convincing people of her high school attendance since her school had also transitioned into an all-boys institution.
Frank Craze playfully challenged Awinja’s revelation, seeking confirmation of her past gender. La Sultan shared a more somber experience, revealing that his school had been shut down, replaced by a large cattle dip, making it challenging to convince people of his high school years. Anombi humorously admitted to attending a mixed school that had transformed into an all-girls institution, adding a quirky twist to his high school narrative. Joan Busolo echoed the sentiments of others, grappling with the challenge of convincing people that she had attended high school after her school had switched to an all-boys format.
