Fast rising Kenyan digital comedian and brand ambassador Elsa Majimbo has reportedly vowed to never return to Kenya. Ms. Maimbo is said to have made the claim during an interview with Dubai blogger Anash Bukhash.
She said that her life in Kenya was miserable due to excess bullying, and would rather she spent lots of money hopping from one city to another across the world than return to Nairobi.
“I have faced a lot of bullying in Nairobi and when I say bullying people only think about the internet, but it has been my whole life. At the university, I chose my friends and the company I was in and it got easier. But when I got to the internet it became as worse as it was in high school. I would mind my own business and sit inside the house in Nairobi. When I left for South Africa in February, I left and never went back to Kenya,” Majimbo said.
Majimbo, who is currently in Dubai said that she had turned down her sister’s suggestion to return to Kenya.
“I found happiness outside (of Kenya). I don’t know where I am going and yesterday my sister suggested travelling back to Nairobi to which I declined. It is the worst option possible. I will go back to South Africa where I know I have a home. South Africans supported and defended me from Kenyan bullies. Kenya is not that place (to call home). It is tough but life is tough,” she told Bukhash. Elsa Majimbo said that she didn’t have a traveling plan and hadn’t figured out her next stop after Dubai.

“It does hurt. It really hurts. Negativity has a way of overshadowing the good. It’s not the bullying that hurt me most, it was the pity. People asking whether I was okay or was about to hurt myself. I don’t want to pity myself because I want to be in a peaceful space. I am a tough girl and I will stand strong. I need to have a thick skin as I know that I will face a lot of criticism,” she said.
