Itumbi Pens Lovely Poem For Jacque Maribe on Her Birthday, Receives Backlash

Former State House Director of Digital Communications Dennis Itumbi has penned a moving poem to his long time ‘friend’ Jacque Maribe on her birthday.

In his poem, Itumbi has describe Maribe as a fire.

The poem reads;

Happy Birthday, Jacque Maribe,

You are a FIRE.

A Fire in your stage presence,

A Fire that has super hot flames,

Flames that keep them talking,

You are a Fire of beauty and sexy.

A Fire that sparks and sustains friendships,

A Fire, I gladly embrace and use to ink this poem,

A Fire that is so lovely to resist,

You are a Fire on top of a mountain,

Living life, couregously, powerfully and unapologetically

A Fire that refines your ore into Gold.

A Golden friend.

A Golden mum

A Golden trailblazer

So here an online hug, tight, endless and Forever.

Our Friendship, is our souls on Fire.

Burning the past into ashes, connecting us,

Soldering to the future, with the force of water down a waterfall…

Friends, planted right at the bull’s eye of our hearts, is what we are…

May you get endless Birthday kisses and triumphs…

You are a lovely FIRE..

I wish you Endless victory, may you warm our hearts.

Happy Birthday!

However, Kenyans on Twitter have jumped quickly on the poem to troll Itumbi.

They have hilariously reacted to the poem, some telling him off for bringing his private affairs with Maribe online. They argue that he should have send the poem to Maribe via her inbox.

Some argue that Itumbi has been chasing Maribe for a very long tie and it is now time he should consider giving up, with some arguing that comedian Eric Omondi had already won Maribe’s heart.

Here are some of the reactions.
