‘Mama is still Strong!’ This Video of Ida Odinga Swinging to Rhumba Music is the best thing on the Internet Today

The ordinary Kenyan believes that our politicians are small gods, who cannot be affected by trivial things. They have solutions to everything and should behave in certain ways.

Raila Odinga is the most iconic politician of our time. For almost 30 years, he has shaped the landscape of Kenyan politics.

From being detained to losing three successive elections, Raila has seen it all. But as he fought for democracy, his family was left in the hands of his beloved wife Mama Ida Odinga.

You can imagine what an iron woman mama Ida is, having to raise her family single-handedly as her husband fought for liberation. Mama has seen it all, and yet she has never given up on family.

A video has emerged on the Internet of Mama Ida swinging to some sweet Rhumba music. And I can say this is the best video on the Internet Today.

As you can see, Mama joins Women MPs Rosa Buyu and Gladys Wanga to dance to Mose Fanfan’s Papa Lolo.ย 

Who would think that at her age, Mama has stilll got the energy to do choreographed moves. I mean she is so good at, it seems they have been practicing.

With Gladys wanga the soloist, rosa buyu the choreographer, and mama Ida shaking it with two left legs. Did I hear “swing the butt with some attitude??” AWUORO ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… That’s how we go shake our Kenyan problems abeg!โ€” GAKII waGITUMA (@GAKIIGITUMA) March 21, 2019
