Tanasha

Singer and Actress Tanasha Donna Oketch is among the many Kenyans who fell victim of this year’s Fools Day.

The day has been marked this Saturday and Tanasha fell for a big lie from her Godfather who is in Belgium .

According to her, her Godfather reached out to her at mid night, informing that her mother is expecting a child and she would soon have a baby sister.

“So My Godfather texts me at midnight from Belgium to tell me that my mother is pregnant  and congrats I am gonna have a sis and Naseeb Junior is gonna have an have an aunty,” Tanasha shared on her Insta stories.

The mother of one, who had no idea that she was being fooled, contacted her mother to confirm the information.

“I text mom you pregnant? She then texts me April Fools. I almost had an asthma attack,” she further said.

Fools day falls on April 1 every year. ‘It is an annual custom in which people prank and play practical jokes on their loved one to create fun memories and have a good laugh.’

The day is however not considered a holiday. Historians believe that it dates back to 1582 when the Julian calendar was replaced with the  Gregorian calendar in France.

The changes saw the new year celebrated on January 1. In the Julian calendar, the new year was being celebrated on the final week of March up to April 1.

Those who did not get the information about the change of the calendar continued to celebrate the new year in March to April and were therefore considered as April fools.
