Kenyan content creator Zenah has jumped into the popular social media trend involving George Ruto and Teacher Cillah by sharing a nostalgic throwback photo that suggests a long-standing connection with the president’s son.
In an Instagram reel, Zenah presented a childhood picture featuring herself alongside George and his brother Nick Ruto. The clip, shot in a selfie-style format with colourful lighting, included a direct message to Teacher Cillah, implying that her relationship with George dates back much earlier.
Zenah’s message to Teacher Cillah:
- “The royal family itself. Huuu! Hili nikubali utotoni,” she said, blending Kiswahili and Sheng to highlight their shared past.
- She asserted that her connection with George began long ago, humorously positioning herself ahead in the lighthearted competition sparked by Teacher Cillah.
The viral trend originated after Teacher Cillah, a junior school teacher whose real name is Priscilla Wanjiru Karanja, posted comedic videos expressing her desire to marry George Ruto as a way to improve her circumstances. George's playful response, asking for her Teachers Service Commission registration number, intensified the online buzz.
Teacher Cillah embraced the joke fully, adopting the persona of "Mrs George Ruto" and creating skits depicting wedding preparations, including humorous warnings to teachers about how to arrive at the fictional event.
Zenah’s entry adds a new twist, presenting herself as a childhood acquaintance of George and Nick Ruto, thereby staking an early claim in the ongoing social media saga.
As the playful trend continues to attract attention, it remains to be seen if more participants will emerge. For now, Zenah has made her intentions clear by sharing visual proof of her childhood ties to the Ruto family.
