‘Let you hard times introduce your true friends!’ advises Jalang’o

Comedian-cum-radio presenter Phelix Odiwuor aka Jalang’o is never afraid of speaking out his mind.

If he’s not advising Kenyan artistes on how to up their game, he’s busy advising people on life matters.

Jalang’o has this time talked about fakeness, and in a video that has left many giving him a pat on the back, he advised people not to call everyone a friend.

The funnyman says everyone is your friend or close relative until you’re in need. The fake ones will always be exposed.

In the video he said:

DO NOT CALL PEOPLE YOUR TRUE FRIENDS, BEST FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS OR COLLEAGUES. LET YOUR HARD TIMES INTRODUCE YOUR TRUE FRIENDS, TRUE NEIGHBORS, TRUE COLLEAGUES, AND TRUE RELATIVES.

Jalang’o’s sentiments were echoed by many and below are the reactions:
