Kibera singer Stivo Simple Boy and his incoming manager Chingiboy Mstado took time off during the weekend to visiting ailing football star Ezekiel Otuoma.
The visit was the Tuache Mihadarati crooner's way of showing solidarity for the player who has been unwell for a while.
Stivo entertained Otuoma
Chingiboy told TUKO.co.ke that it all started when he contacted Otuoma's wife Racheal and informed her that they intended to check on the young footballer.

He explained that the idea was to offer hope to the skipper whose career was brought to a screeching halt by a degenerating condition called motor neurone disease.
Also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the condition has made it impossible for Otuoma to talk or walk with ease.
"Otuoma was very happy, he kept laughing as Stivo entertained him with his signature lines and vocabularies," Chingi said.
According to Racheal, she at no point imagined her husband being visited by Stivo since most of their guests have been sportspeople.
Otuoma received FIFA Fund
In July this year, the ailing striker was among the footballers who were paid by the FIFA fund, money that his wife channelled to building their rural home.
She disclosed that since her husband didn't have a house in the village, they had embarked on building a two-bedroom bungalow that is expected to be complete by December.
"You see, Otuoma's health has been worsening; he can't walk, talk, or eat on his own and you have to blend his food. He is just like a baby," she added.
It was an emotional day when the footballer was taken to his rural home as he broke down down and cried as soon as they landed.
Otuoma was overcome by emotions due to the fact that the last time he was in the village, he was still healthy and working as a decorated footballer.
