SDE CAMPUS TOUR-MASENO EDITION
Maseno
University is quite a hard nut to crack; no one can agree with me more than Mc
Njugush. He learned this probably the hardest way: when he tried to tickle the
ears of a huge crowd that gathered in Maseno University’s Graduation Square on
Friday night for the Standard Digital Entertainment (SDE) campus tour. You know
when you are on that grand stage and you are basically paid to entertain and
your target audience isn’t so receptive- it gets kind of scary. The SDE campus
tour began in Daystar University and this Friday it was Maseno’s turn, the
fourth stop after Chuka and Kenyatta Universities.
Never mind the almost bad night it could have been
if the fervent fans were to spend the entire evening with the hype man as eventually
it was time for the crème de la crème of the SDE entourage to take the stage. As
if to the rescue of a crowd whose spirits had begun to wither out, Dj Mo was
the first to hop onto the stage and since then everything changed. A
performance after another electrified the crowd. This was a grand opportunity
for the Maseno students to meet their best local gospel artists. The performers
of the night included the super energetic Size 8 who did her Mateke song; Willy
Paul entertained the crowd with his songs ‘Sitolia and Kitanzi that he has
featured Gloria Muliro. Rufftone did his hit song ‘Mungu baba Twaomba’, that
seeks to inculcate brotherhood among Kenyans. Other stunning performances were
from DK Kwenye beat, Hopekid, Benachi, Saint Stevoh and Innocent Persons.
Besides
its entertainment purpose the tour also aimed at promoting standard Group’s
online platforms such as the campus vibe website where students can post
peculiar stories from their campuses. For any article that is used by standard,
the writer will be paid by the company.

Many
opinions about the event may remain untold but for sure the event was
refreshing for the university that has been adamantly referred to as a bush
university. The entourage will visit Moi University next.
