Renowned Kenyan singer Esther Akoth better known by her stage name Akothee has once again dropped nuggets of wisdom on her fans. Sharing her two cents on her social media, Akothee advised netizens against depending on sponsors to give them financial freedom explaining that they only provided temporary financial support.
