On June 6, 2026, CEO Obinna tv studios Steve Thompson Magana, popularly known as Oga Obinna, turned 36. Fans, colleagues, family, and well-wishers flooded social media with tributes, marking another milestone in the life of one of East Africa’s most dynamic entertainers.
From Humble Beginnings to Stardom
Born on June 6, 1990, in Maseno, Kisumu County, Kenya, Oga Obinna’s early life was far from glamorous.
He faced significant challenges, including a period living as a street kid after moving to Nairobi in 2009. These experiences shaped his resilience and authentic storytelling, which later became hallmarks of his comedy. Before fully diving into entertainment, he even had a phase as a preacher.
Obinna’s big break came through stand-up comedy, notably on shows like the Churchill Show. He transitioned into radio hosting, TV presenting, and eventually digital content creation. His YouTube channel, Obinna TV, featuring skits, interviews (including with politicians and celebrities), and the popular “Dem Wa Facebook” series, has become a massive success, amassing millions of views monthly and establishing him as one of Kenya’s top YouTubers.
Today, he is a multifaceted entertainer: comedian, musician, MC for high-profile events, brand ambassador (for companies like Uber, Deacon, and Golden Tulip), entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. He runs an entertainment company and continues to mentor upcoming talents.
Family Man and Father of Five
Beyond the spotlight, Oga Obinna is a dedicated father. He has five children—one son (Leron/Luironne, also known as Big Boss) and four daughters (including Brianna, Ada/Lola, and youngest Ella, born in 2024). The children come from different relationships, and Obinna has been open about his journey through fatherhood, including adopting additional children and navigating co-parenting.
He often shares heartwarming family moments on his platforms, emphasizing the joy and responsibilities of parenting. In interviews, he has expressed love for his kids’ personalities, describing them as funny, hardworking, and intelligent like their father.
Birthday Celebrations in 2026
Oga Obinna marked his 36th birthday with gratitude and style. Reports highlight warm messages from fans, colleagues, and notable figures. Actress and content creator Naomi Kuria (with whom he has shared public chemistry and sparked dating rumors) joined in the celebrations, posting sweet tributes like “Happiest birthday, King.” Musician Miss P (Thee Original Miss P) also sent heartfelt blessings, calling him an amazing soul.
His team at Obinna TV Studios organized a surprise celebration, and social media was abuzz with well-wishes from across Kenya. In the lead-up to his birthday, Obinna had been manifesting bigger goals, including eyeing a luxury mansion as a symbol of his continued success and progress.
Looking Ahead
At 36, Oga Obinna shows no signs of slowing down. With a thriving digital empire, expanding music career, and influence in Kenyan entertainment, he remains a beacon of inspiration for many – especially those from humble beginnings. His story of transformation, cultural fusion, and relentless hustle continues to entertain and motivate.
Happy 36th Birthday, Oga Obinna! May this new chapter bring even more laughter, success, blessings, and perhaps that dream mansion. Kenya and beyond celebrate you
