Tuesday, 22 February 2022 – South-African-based filmmaker, Silas Miami, who is the biological son of renowned journalist Louis Otieno, has revealed that he met his father for the first time when he was 22 years old.
Silas revealed that he had made attempts to meet his father but he did everything possible to block their meeting.
He recounted how his father was once almost hit by a bus in the Nairobi Central Business District while trying to run away from him.
He was 4-years-old back then and in the company of his mother.
“Once near Posta when I was 4 – he almost got hit by a KBS running into oncoming traffic.
“There was the time he narrowly escaped a conversation by using the service elevator at l&M to leave when he got tipped about our arrival.
“But my favourite ‘missed-connection’ has got to be the time we waited for him at Kengeles for 5hrs.
“He never showed – it was his invitation. Was I maybe 9?” he wrote on Twitter.
Silas said Louis was a ‘trash father’ who abused women physically and emotionally.
He noted that he met his father for the first time at the age of 22 when he was told that he was admitted in the hospital in critical condition.
According to Miami, he boarded a plane to Nairobi the next day.
However, Louis spent the first two minutes of their first meeting denying that Silas was his son.
“When I get to his bed, he spends the first two minutes denying that I am his son.
“Until he quickly deduced that he could potentially earn money from me. It was at that moment that it finally dawned on me – I had wasted so much emotional labour on someone who wasn’t willing even to acknowledge my humanity,” he continued.
Miami urged people to stop asking him about someone he does not know.
“So I take this opportunity to ask everyone to stop asking me about him because you are asking me about a stranger. I know nothing,” said Miami.
“This man doesn’t know me. And I don’t know him,” he added.
