Kenyans have maintained their loyal enthusiasm frenzy in spectating the Russia FIFA World Cup 2018 with the football talk dominating TV and social media talks.
The unexpected ouster of Japan in the last 16 stage by Belgium on Monday, however, was a clear indicator of how football is rarely predictable.
As Kenyans grappled with Japans' loss despite an early 2-0 lead, a netizen by the name @Mocha_H came up with a clever way to save the face following the disappointment from what appeared to be an obvious win.
Quoting the 26-year-old song "Stella Wangu", by Freshly Mwamburi, the tweep indicated that Japans' ouster from the 2018 World Cup was a befitting payback for what a Japanese did to a son of Kenya.
The endearing message, however, got popular with many Kenyans owing to the hilarious creativity and was quickly plagiarized by various users of the Twitter platform.
Among the user's who posted the message is Radio Jambo's presenter Gidi Ogidi and a host of other users who variedly distorted the message.
Although netizens rarely attribute messages to their original authors especially those not famous, the disclaimer "#Stolen" is commonly used to indicate that the work was a brainchild of a different author.
According to the song, Mwamburi, a celebrated Rhumba musician lost his fiance, Stella, to a Japanese man after she went abroad to further her education only for her to get betrothed despite the singer having heavily invested in her trip.
The momentous return of Stella to Kenya and the resulting heartbreak is captured in the lyrics: "Stella alishuka amebeba mtoto mkononi, nyuma yake mchumba wake mfupi, futii nne Mjapani (Stella embarked from the plane holding a baby in her hands escorted by her four-feet tall Japanese lover)."
"Nilisikitika ndani ya moyo nikakosa la kufanya Nilitamani nilie Kikamba lakini si kijui, ilibidii nilie Kijaluo (It greatly pained me but there is little I could do. I wished to scream in Kamba language, but ended up screaming in Dholuo)."
Here is a funny video based on Stella's return:
