So I've been following this #WilkinsTheCon story unfold, and It's gotten me thinking quite a bit about the role of media in validating "questionable entrepreneurs".

NB: This thread is based on verified reporting of #WilkinsFadhili's activities; not online bashment.
I followed @RuthAmbogo's thread, noting that she used @StandardKenya's article to convince a friend that #WilkinsFadhili was legit...much like the multiple media reports were used to validate #HeshanDeSilva's fictitious claims.

#WilkinsTheCon
@BD_Africa, a publication I deeply respect, also featured him in the #Top40Under40 list...even @SafaricomPLC had him as a @BLAZEKenya mentor.

All these, especially the media coverage, aided #WilkinsFadhili drive his agenda...
