Oga Obinna has once again found himself at the centre of online chatter. The Kenyan comedian and content creator turned a deeply personal rejection into a viral moment that is now fuelling debates across social media.
In his latest episode of the gifting and apology series, Obinna staged a surprise for a woman whose former partner wanted to reconcile. The grand gesture included flowers, a gift, and even a serenade from a saxophonist. But the plan quickly collapsed.
The woman, visibly emotional, rejected the gesture outright. She said the man — identified only as Peter — had abandoned her and their child ten years ago. “He never picked my calls all those years,” she declared. “Now he wants to come back? No way.” With that, she walked away, leaving Obinna and the musician stranded.
The clip spread quickly online, drawing thousands of reactions. Many viewers sided with the woman, saying her pain was understandable. Others argued that she could have accepted the apology, if not the relationship. “She has every right to refuse, but maybe forgiveness could have been enough,” one comment read.
A different corner of the internet chose to laugh. For them, the rejection was less about heartbreak and more about Obinna’s genius for content. “Obinna is the king of monetising ego,” one fan joked. “He just took a messy situation and made it hilarious.”
Born Steve Thompson Maghana, the entertainer is no stranger to such moments. He built his career on stand-up comedy and radio before moving into digital platforms, where his ability to mix humour with raw, real-life encounters has made him one of Kenya’s most versatile creators.
At the end of the video, Obinna himself seemed unfazed by the collapse of the romantic reunion. Laughing, he told his viewers: “I’m in the business of apologizing and gifting people on behalf of those whose egos are too big.”
For fans, that sums up why Obinna’s work resonates. Whether it ends in tears, laughter, or rejection, he has mastered the art of turning human drama into entertainment.
