Inspired

“We are inspired to be the change we want to see in our little ways and our little spaces. The Valentine’s shoot was a small gesture that not only transformed their physical appearance but their outlook on life. At the end of it all, everyone involved in the experience took life lessons on unconditional love to heart,” added Johnson. Well, the truth was yet to be revealed. 

Perfect Match


“Under the inspiration of love in its simplest form, we celebrated Valentine‘s with these amazing souls and came out with great testimonies. Indeed, beneath all the dirt, tattered clothes and slurred speeches there lies beautiful individuals who would thrive like the rest of us if we offered them the opportunities, Love doesn‘t discriminate, here is proof,” mentioned the writer under the photographs on the Muchiri frames website. Now, let’s talk about where this couple finally chose to be.

Sad Truth

Bonfire adventures CEO, Simon Kabu, later on, told the truth in media. He said, “I paid house rent for Virginia and Blackie separately for eight months; that investment was to take them up to October 2018. Luckily, they got job offers in Bomet. Virginia was to work as a cook and Blackie a gardener at a school in the Rift Valley region.”

Quitting The Job

Simon further told, “While Virginia took the offer, Blackie declined to grab it, saying he couldn’t go out of Nairobi. He, however, did not give any valid reason for his stance. After a while, I was told that Virginia returned to the capital city in unclear circumstances.”

Careless Couple

Simon Kabu further added, “Blackie only wanted handouts; he never wanted to work. Sometimes he would come to my office, and when I told him that I did not have the money he wanted, or I was in a meeting, he would stay around till evening. I wasn’t impressed by that.” 

Rehabilitation Center

“Blackie needs to be admitted into a rehabilitation facility; that is what I think he really needs. If somebody would take him to rehab, he would be helped. I tried the much I could, but it, clearly, wasn’t good enough. I tried reaching them sometime back, but I could not because they had sold their phones,” explained Simon.
