Tuesday, January 26, 2026 - A video of a Kenyan lady, a staunch Arsenal supporter, passionately defending her team following their dramatic 3-2 Premier League loss to Manchester United has gone viral. In the clip, the woman is proudly dressed in an Arsenal-branded hoodie as she faces off against a crowd of rival fans who were reveling in the Gunners’ rare stumble. With fiery conviction, she declares: “Wachana na Arsenal wewe, kwanza next ni nyinyi mnaingia kichinjio!” (“Leave Arsenal alone, you are next in the slaughterhouse!”) Her bold stand drew laughter from the crowd but also won her admiration online. Many praised her loyalty, especially since most Arsenal fans were quick to shed their branded outfits after the match to avoid banter from rivals. The game itself was historic. Manchester United secured their first Premier League victory at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium in nine years, making the win even sweeter for the Red Devils. To add to the drama, United had to come from behind, sending their fans worldwide into jubilation. Watch the video>>> below.

Tuesday, January 27, 2026 - A young Kenyan from the North Eastern region has shared a video showing the office of the Mandera West Member of Parliament, Adan Haji Yusuf, which is located directly opposite a dumping site and appears abandoned. In the video circulating on social media, the Gen Z activist questions the condition and utility of the office, claiming that it shows little to no activity and reflects the MP’s absence from the constituency. Online users have since echoed the claims, with some alleging that the legislator rarely visits Mandera West. The video comes days after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua ignited national debate after accusing some leaders from the North Eastern region of abandoning their constituents. Gachagua alleged that several leaders from the region prefer operating from luxury hotels in Nairobi, while funds meant for grassroots development are instead diverted into private investments such as apartment blocks in the capital. His remarks drew both sharp criticism and support across the political divide. Many social media users now argue that the exposed state of the Mandera West MP’s office appears to reinforce Gachagua’s claims, with some declaring that “Gachagua was right”.Watch the video>>> below Mandera West MP, ADAN HAJI's abandoned office pic.twitter.com/HQpEBNhSiS— DAILY POST 🇰🇪 (@dailypost_ke) January 27, 2026 The Kenyan DAILY POST
