She has made a history in Uganda
for being invited by the United Nation (UN) to participate in a special task of
film making. She is a leading celebrity in Uganda with hundreds of followers in
social media. That makes another history for her as a comedian to lead
musicians in the list of top celebrities. This year, she was crowned an Airtel
woman of Substance award. She is not other than Anne Kansiime alias known as ‘Ninja
Girl’.
Kansiime is popular not only in
Uganda, but also in different countries within Africa and Europe. Her talent in
stand-up comedy and hundreds of her video clips uploaded in social networks
made her among the most known girls in East Africa.
She was born 27 years ago in a
small town of Kabale, Western Uganda and graduated her Bachelor of Social
Science from Makerere University in her home country, Uganda. Kansiime started
her career in stand-up comedy seven years ago and from there, she concentrated much
in comedies and not in what she learnt in Makerere.
It was early this week when her
manager Johnson Mujungu announced that Kansiime has been invited by the United
Nations to participate in making a film titled ‘It’s a Girl Thing’. The film
will be produced in the United States of America (USA) and it is the part of
United Nations Day of a girl.
This is not the first time for Kansiime
to be invited into international performances. She had a tour in Malawi (March
2014), Zambia (July 2014), Tanzania (August 2014) and she is expected to have
another performance in Botswana in November this year.
Kansiime is nicknamed ‘Ninja Girl’
due to the habit she usually shows in all of her performances. She looks like a
rude, naughty, impolite and quarrelsome girl. She owns a comedy show in Kenya’s
famous Citizen TV known as ‘Don’t Mess Up With Kansiime”. This show is among
the most popular TV shows in East Africa.
‘Ninja Girl’ Kansiime has been honoredseveral awards. It includes Airtel Women Substance award (2014), Best Comedian
(BEFFTA 2013), Best actress (Lagos International festival 2013) and African
social award winner in Malaysia, 2013.
This is the Ninja girl Anne
Kansiime, a Ugandan comedian who will be in the United Nations very soon to
take part in the film ‘It’s a Girl Thing’. Uganda has Anne Kansiime, Kenya has
Wanjiku ‘The Teacher’, what about Tanzania?
