Wambui Collymore ‘schools’ the KOT bullies; teaches them a thing or ten about grace under fire

Wambui ‘schooled’ the KOT bullies/CFM

NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 7 – Wambui Collymore has turned the proverbial lemons (read shade) thrown her way into lemonade turning the #BeforeWambuiMarriedBob into an ode to Safaricom Chief Executive Officer and her husband of nine months Bob Collymore.

The artist in 10 tweets turned what was birthed as a mean-spirited hashtag into something of beauty and in the process ‘schooled’ the school-yard bullies that reside on Twitter a thing or two about grace under pressure.

“I kind of like this #BeforeWambuiMarriedBob it give me a chance to celebrate someone special in my life. Here’s a countdown…”
