Roseline Alionya Demands Apology After Trolling Over First Class Degree Sparks Social Media Debate.
Trending on Social Media: Education vs. Banter
Roseline Alionya is trending on social media after a morning show appearance on Spice FM sparked heated reactions online. During the show, a panelist sarcastically remarked:
"Alionya has a First Class in Kiswahili and CRE, she cannot speak on economic matters."
The comment irked Alionya, who responded by posting her transcripts, revealing she holds a first-class honours degree in Education (Arts) from Machakos University. She demanded a public apology from Spice FM, stating:
"SpiceFMKE I genuinely deserve a public apology. Not because a first Class in CRE and Kiswahili is negligible, but because we need to stop activists and propagandists from using your stations to peddle falsehood. My first class WILL and MUST be respected."
Despite her strong stance, social media users continued trolling her. Some reactions from X (formerly Twitter) included:
Abuya Masta: "Diploma yangu ya Medical Laboratory Science iko far better than iyo first class honours degree ya CRE and Kiswahili."
Chris Wasike: "Oh please! Grow up young lady and grow some skin. If your first class serves you well, by now you know what banter means."
Quincy Gitahi: "Kumbe hii first class yako huwa ya Bachelor of Arts in Education, the way you rub it on our faces, one would think it is Quantum Physics."
Asamoh: "Getting a first class means you were top in your class in the subjects under examination. Alionya Roseline be proud of your achievements. Let those with only birth certificates and madrasa admission documents like Hanifa not mock you."
The debate continues, highlighting the clash between academic achievements and public perception, and raising questions about respect for educational success in online discourse.
