The lady, who had earlier carried a placard in the streets of Kakamega confessing her love for Obinna and that she was ready to give him a set of twins, decided to contact him directly.
In the message, the lady first shared her photo carrying the placard and later introduced herself.
“Hello, good evening, I’m Shaline. The one on that postcard,” Shaline’s message reads.
However, Obinna, in his response, politely rejected her, stating that she is still young and that he prefers single mothers.
“Hi, saw the post. Much appreciated, but can’t work. You is a child. I prefer single mothers around 24 years, infinity 18 is too young,” Obinna said.
He went on and advised her to focus with her future first before thinking of love and children.
“Also, at 18, what are you doing thinking of children, focus, Shaline. You will think of me in 6 years when you will remember this text,” he added.
In her response, Shaline said that she would like to meet him in person.
“It’s okay, no problem. Though I really desire to meet you and greet you in person.I really wanted to meet you in person, even if it’s public. I just say hi or maybe take a picture together,” she said.
Giving fatherly advice, the father of five asked her not to publicly display her phone number and that they would one day meet. He went ahead and blocked her, cutting the conversation between them.
“One day we shall meet, we shall eventually, Also don’t post your number like that on cards. Now you have to get rid of that.” Obinna said.
Obinna to single mothers
The media personality further jokily asked single mothers not to approach him with love confessions.
“Sasa nani amempa namba yawa.Team mafisi wale wako hapa aki kawacheni kagrow, bado ni katoto Ma Single Matha msinijaribu lakini,” he said.
