Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s daughter, social media personality Thickyy Sandra, has once again stirred online conversation—this time by humorously reacting to a serious wildlife incident.
On Wednesday, January 7, 2026, reports emerged that two lionesses had escaped from Nairobi National Park and were spotted near Sholinke Trading Centre in Rongai, prompting the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to urge residents to stay indoors and keep children safe. The news quickly spread across social media, sparking concern among locals living in the area.
However, Thickyy Sandra took a lighter, cheeky approach to the unfolding situation.
Sharing a screenshot of the news alert on her Instagram stories, Sandra jokingly referred to the escaped lionesses as her “dowry,” adding humor with a caption that loosely translates to “Guys, this is my dowry… one more left to go.” The playful comment instantly caught the attention of her followers, many of whom found the post hilarious, while others felt it was bold given the seriousness of the situation.
As expected, reactions were mixed. Some fans praised her for using humor to ease public tension, while others felt the joke was ill-timed considering the potential danger posed to residents in Rongai. Still, the post achieved what entertainment content often does best—it got people talking.
