Musician Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, made headlines on April 10, 2023, after getting married to Mr. Denis Schweizer, alias Omosh, at the Windsor Golf Hotel in Nairobi.
The wedding was a topic of discussion due to its extravagance and the secrecy surrounding Mr. Omosh, whose online presence is almost non-existent.
Little is known about Mr. Omosh, as he has limited online activity.
However, sources have discovered some details about him.
He has an account on a dating website called Afro Introductions, where he goes by the name Ed. According to his profile, he is 34 years old and was seeking a female partner in Kenya aged between 18-24 years old.
He mentions that he drinks alcohol but does not smoke, and identifies as Christian. His online details also indicate that he may be from Bern, Switzerland, as he has signed a lease for a rental there.
The decision to hide one’s real identity online is not uncommon. Many people choose to do so for various reasons, as highlighted by eSafety Commissioner, a website that provides advice on security issues.
One reason is to limit or control how personal data is collected and stored, to prevent security breaches, surveillance, and intrusive web tracking.
Another reason is to protect against unwanted contact, such as from sexual predators and scammers. Children, in particular, are encouraged to use nicknames or avatars online instead of their full real names to make it more difficult for potential predators to interact with them.
While some individuals may choose to hide their real identities online for positive reasons, it is also important to note that anonymity and identity shielding can be used for negative purposes, such as exploiting others or engaging in fraudulent activities. Therefore, it is crucial to exercise caution and use online platforms responsibly.
As Mr. Omosh has chosen to keep his online presence limited and his real identity hidden, it is not clear why he has made this decision or what his motivations may be.
