Shiquo Exposed: From Demobilizing Protests to Tribal Psyops - Business Owners Who Betrayed Maandamano Now Face the Regime They Shielded
Last year, when Shiquo used her large TikTok platform to actively demobilize the protests, I confronted her directly. Instead of reflecting, she turned the conversation into a pathetic bullying and trolling campaign.
I had simply warned her - just as I warned Khalif Kairo in 2024 and other business owners - that using their platforms to undermine mass action for personal gain would have consequences.
The evidence is now glaring: the same Githurai and Gikomba traders who cried that maandamano were destroying their businesses have watched the very government they shielded demolish their stalls and livelihoods.
Now Shiquo is desperately trying to reframe her cheap anti-counterfeit raid psyop into a tribal Kikuyu vs Somali narrative. Fortunately, I kept the video of our conversation for precisely this moment - a permanent reminder that her business is not a social venture.
We are fighting for justice and good governance for all Kenyans, not protecting one selfish enterprise.
This is a stern precautionary tale to every business owner actively supporting government phantom psyops and undermining protests: we will not stand with you.
When the regime turns on you - and it always does - do not expect solidarity from those you helped betray.
