NO TO RACISM: Viral Video Of Kenyans Dancing To Ohangla Music In Ireland Met With Vile Hate Online
A video of Kenyans dancing to Ohangla music at a barbecue party on the European island of Ireland has elicited outright racism from westerners, with many even calling for the ‘immigrants’ to be expelled from Europe.
In the undated video, a swarm of lively Kenyans can be seen dancing and singing along to Odongo Swagg’s hit ‘Nyasembo’ as they socialize, interact, and cluster around one another, beer cans in hand.
The seemingly innocent video of people simply hanging out has not gone down well with some Irish people or Europeans in general.
Some see it as a distasteful insult to Irish culture and a brazen invasion by immigrants.
Controversial Irish blogger Michael O’Keefe sparked the outrage by posting the video on his once-banned X account and lamenting Ireland’s current state.
“đź“ŤGalway. Rural Ireland isn’t what it used to be …,” he wrote, attaching the video.

Many Irish people and people from various parts of the United Kingdom (UK) flooded the comment section to condemn the group of Kenyans and express their unfiltered hatred of immigrants, particularly those from Africa.
Unafraid of broadcasting their racism to the rest of the world, an increasing number of people from the United Kingdom continued to express their raw emotions.
What are these animals doing? Taking over heritage sites? My grands were from Galway, my head is on fire!

One more person, boiling with rage, wrote, “Africans have the tendency to ruin everything they encounter! People of Ireland are going to stand up and say enough. I mean, What are these animals doing? Taking over heritage sites? My grands were from Galway, my head is on fire!”
A group of Kenyans, on the other hand, rushed to join the conversation, offering opposing viewpoints and criticizing the racists for their unwelcoming attitudes.
Someone wrote, “The excuses racist people make to downsize Africans. All the white people that come to stay and live in Africa… nothing is said.
“They even have multiple businesses and stolen ranches but the problem comes when Africans go there? Make it make sense.”

How about the thousands of BRITISH & IRISH land owners in KENYA? Many never left and own so much land that you could ALMOST make another Ireland.

Galway, where the Kenyans were filmed partying, is one of Ireland’s most distinctive cities.
Discover Ireland claims that it is as well known for its fantastic food and nightlife as it is for its cutting-edge arts, music, design, and theatre scenes.
It is also known as the City of Tribes, and there is rarely a weekend without a festival or cultural celebration in town.
A wave of anti-immigrant sentiment, fueled by racism and fascism, has recently swept across the UK, with riots in multiple cities targeting immigrants and pro-immigrant policies.
