Who doesn’t know Edgar Obare by now? If you don’t, you probably live on the moon.
Over the past few weeks, Edgar Obare has been trending for exposing Jalang’o and his boy’s club and later after the Mwakideu expose. This isn’t the first time he has done it, he’s exposed several celebrities and socialites.
Well, just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it. So does Edgar really need to do whatever he does?
When you check out Edgar’s stories, you’ll see advertisements in between all the exposes, advertisements he’s been paid good money to display. When I ran into the first one, I immediately understood that this guy is using other’s misery to gain profit. Which, if you ask me, sounds sadistic.
Boy’s club
Media personality and entertainer Jalang’o alias Felix Oduwour and his close circle of male friends have become a trending topic on social media after allegations of cheating on their partners with different women surfaced online and shocked the entire netizen community.
The allegations were shared by blogger Edgar Obare via his Instagram stories after he got hold of screenshots from a WhatsApp group that is believed to be that of Jalang’o and his boy’s club. From the few photos that were released, it seemed like they were toying with women, very young women.
This is evil, you don’t get to toy around with others just because you can.
The people who get exposed putting into consideration Jalang’o and Mwakideu’s expose, have participated in unacceptable behavior. Cheating on your spouse is a serious offence.
In spite all of this, celebrities are just people and they are not perfect. If you were to do a study on the number of men doing the same thing that the boy’s club and Mwakideu were doing, then it wouldn’t look strange at all. That’s just how society is, and we don’t really like seeing it for what it really is.
All said, I don’t think Edgar has the moral ground to castigate others because they also are just human. This doesn’t excuse the atrocities they committed, but it would be hypocritical to punish some and let others off the hook.
Even so, when you are a celebrity, the line between your private and public life is very blurry.
