News Dispatch with Father Omolo Beste
MONDAY, MARCH 3, 2014
The News Dispatch with Father Omolo Beste congratulates Lupita Nyong’o for searing drama “12 Years a Slave” being named best picture at the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday night, the story of Solomon Northup, a free African-American man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery.
Nyong’o has made Kenyans proud. She was the best in the category of the best picture “12 Years a Slave”, beating out big names Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, June Squibb and Sally Hawkins, for her portrayal of Patsey, a favored but abused slave in the Steve McQueen-directed drama.
Her concluding remark was touchy and emotional: “When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every little child that no matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid.”
As lawmaker Gitobu Imanyara remarks, today because of Lupita there is no Kikuyu, no Kalenjin, no Luo, no CORD, no Jubilee! We are just proud Kenyans! May we remain that way! Lupita, becomes the first Kenyan to win an Oscar’.
