Blogger Emmanuel Kipkirui showed a keen interest in Nelly Chepkoech, the Bomet bride, whose cancelled wedding has become a hot topic of conversation.
Kipkirui penned a sweet message to Nelly, promising to take care of her if she agreed to marry her. He said he was broke, boasting about his prowess in bed.
"Dear Chepkoech Nelly, I love you. I'm a broke boy from Potana, Kericho county. Despite all the trolling, I still love you. I admired your curves, your thick skin to social media vawulence more so Facebook yesterday. Everything in you lights up my whole life. Leave alone the English and Kiswahili. I didn't mean I need you, but I know even you won't like me as per my status 'a broke boy' but rich in libido. I'm actually the opposite of Amos," read his post.
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Kipkirui said he was ready to marry Nelly and pay dowry.
"I will pay three cows and KSh 50,000. That is enough for us Kalenjins," he said.
The blogger said he would love Nelly forever, no matter what. Asked what he could have done if he were in Amos's shoes, he said:
"I could have given her more time."
