Kenya’s online space is buzzing this morning as conversations around faith, football and politics dominate social media platforms.
From renewed religious testimonies and dramatic Premier League action to pointed political commentary, today’s trending topics offer a snapshot of the issues shaping national discourse. Here’s a look at what Kenyans are talking about and why it matters.
#HIVCureIsJesus
This hashtag is predominantly driven by faith-based messaging and testimonies shared by Kenyan evangelical communities.
Supporters are using the trend to express belief in divine healing and restoration, while health professionals continue to urge caution against narratives that may conflict with medical guidance.
“Let us believe, truly believe, that the God who has brought us this far is faithful and that He is already preparing breakthroughs. It shall be a year of restoration,” one user shared.
#WHUMUN
This trend follows last night’s 1-1 draw between Manchester United and West Ham United at the London Stadium.
The match has sparked debate over Manchester United’s resilience and West Ham’s inability to see out the game.
“I’m happy with my finish, but I’m not so happy with the draw, because I know we deserve the win… we were fighting,” Benjamin Šeško said after scoring the late equaliser.
Sesko
Benjamin Šeško is trending after his dramatic 96th-minute goal rescued a point for Manchester United.
The striker has received widespread praise from fans, pundits and his manager for his composure under pressure.
“Fantastic finish. He has done it again. It is a great finish. Delighted for him. Another big goal and a good step,” Man United manager Michael Carrick said.
Former midfielder Owen Hargreaves added, “That was an excellent finish. Some strikers might have chosen to flick or volley, but he shot smartly. The timing and execution were truly beautiful.”
Westham
West Ham United is trending as fans reflect on a draw that felt like a missed opportunity.
The club’s supporters expressed disappointment after conceding late despite controlling large parts of the match.
“It is a draw that gives us sadness. You think you almost got across the line, but then get a big punch in the stomach. It is painful,” West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo said.
Amad
Amad Diallo is being discussed for his contribution during the West Ham clash.
While praised for his defensive work rate, some fans felt he offered limited attacking threat.
One fan posted, “United were caught flat-footed by an incisive break,” while others applauded his discipline off the ball.
Dalot
Diogo Dalot is trending following mixed reactions to his performance against West Ham.
The defender received criticism for defensive lapses and a yellow card, prompting debate over his consistency.
Palmer
Cole Palmer is trending as Chelsea supporters and neutral fans compare his recent performances to other Premier League attackers.
The discussions form part of wider debates around creativity and influence in the race for European qualification.
Chelsea
Chelsea is trending as fans assess the club’s position in the Premier League table following midweek fixtures.
Online conversations focus on the tightening top-four race and how rivals’ results could shape the run-in.
Shaw
Luke Shaw is trending for maintaining an extended run of fitness this season.
Fans have highlighted the significance of his availability, given his history of injuries.
Sifuna
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna remains a focal point of political discussion following his recent remarks on governance and accountability.
He has been vocal in questioning administrative processes and the framing of the “broad-based” government narrative.
“Constitutionally there has to be a deed of transfer of functions. It has to be approved by the county assembly. I have seen neither,” Sifuna said.
On the coalition narrative, he added, “Broad-based is built on a 10-point agenda. If you do not do what that agreement is saying, then you cannot run around saying you are broad-based.”
