In a past interview, Jalang’o recounted how he landed the Obama emceeing gig saying he had ‘manifested’ it.

“The news about Obama coming to town was all over; and I told Jeff, on the Jeff and Jalas show on Hot 96, that I would host the event, merely as a joke,” he said.

“Later on, the team from Gina Din Events watched the recorded show and I was called by Lorna Irungu Macharia, the group MD Gina Din Events. Lorna told me: ‘Do you know some dreams come true?’

“I asked her: ‘What dream are you talking about?’

“She went on to tell me that Gina Din Events was handling Obama’s PR in Kenya and I was the chosen emcee.

“Sometimes what you say is powerful because you never know who is watching or listening, the tongue is very powerful,” Jalang’o said.
