The lion statue erected by Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko at the University Way roundabout has elicited mixed reactions from Kenyans online.
Majority of Kenyans on Twitter said the statue is poorly sculptured and only serves to ridicule the city instead of beautifying it.
Locals from Eldoret have come out vocally to diss Sonko’s lion as it cannot compare to their newly erected champions monument and we have to agree with them.
The monument in Eldoret town was set up and unveiled in February in honour of retired, elite and upcoming athletes in the country.
From EldoretLeo’s post comparing the two statues, this is what Kenyans had to say:

- carol9436That is one sad looking lion.Even the writing on it. Cheap and very mediocre looking. Our statues have taken almost two years to make, reveal and finish. I personally saw it covered for almost a year. Good things take time. Such a beauty! Such work of art. As for Nairobi, come for lessons. 👏👏👏👏Bravo Had in Gishu County.
