This is probably the biggest Gospel event after Groove Awards. Taking place in two towns that are over 300KM apart. The most interesting part is that the events will be happening concurrently.

According to “topa de top” deejay, DJ Mo, who is also one of the organizers, the main theme for the event is partying the religious way. A notable line up of top Gospel artistes will be at hand to perform. They include DK Kwenye Beat, Willy Paul, Hey-Z, Hopekid HK, Gloria Muliro, Ba Mdogo and Ole Willy. There will also be fired-up dance groups Gospel Warriors, Altarmin and AllStars to keep you entertained.

It is the new hot joint in town that everyone has been talking about. Lavish Lounge replaced Hearts Club after going through renovations, making it one of the hottest clubs in the CBD right now.

After recently unveiling their new line-up of weekly events, Lavish Lounge had their first Karaoke Night which turned out to be successful, both for the club and the revellers.

Lavish Lounge might just be the place to be through out the week. Check out some of the photos of its Karaoke Night.

Going the whole night with gospel artistes performing the best of their gospel tunes, what more could faithful Christians ask for? This is one of those ‘okay to party all night’ christian rave events that you shouldn’t be planning to miss.

The line up of artistes to perform in this Leavers Affair edition of the famous Club 3:16 is crazy. Guys like Juliani, Willy Paul, Daddy Owen, BMF, Ringtone, D.K Kwenye Beat, Mr. Seed, Hopekid, Makena, Hey-Z, Joyce Omondi, VKP, S.P.A.T and Guardian Angel, just to mention a few, will be among the line up of artistes to perform at this event.

Club 3:16 Leavers Affair will be held on the 14th of December at the Luther Plaza car park from 7PM till dawn.

A couple of deejays will be holding it down on the decks, among them; DJ Sadic and DJ Touch, with MC Kelly on the mic.

Entry goes for Sh. 200.

Today Maina And King’ang’i were discussing Kenyan men and how to deal with them.

According to a lady caller who called in yesterday, Kenyan men are hopeless and they need women as harsh as Kenyan women. If you talk to this (Kenyan) man politely, he will look for another harsh woman out there! They need women who can cut them down to size!

And what a storm this opinion stirred up at Classic FM this morning! Men were tripping over each other to call in to assert their dominance and having a bull dance about what they feel is wrong with Kenyan women.

And at this point I found myself wondering whether these men know they are the reason Kenyan lads of this my generation are complete mumu (fools)! They see their fathers doing silly things like arguing about what a man should be and they get confused. A female caller actually touched on what i’m getting at when she commented that it’s because of the folly of Kenyan men that there are alot of street urchin in Kenya. These children were sired by mugu (foolish) men who then took off. And then their sons grow up thinking that is the mark of a real man! But enough of the sermon! Let’s get back into it.

A female caller called in to say that Kenyan men want models, wives, baby making machines and whatnot but they still don’t appreciate Kenyan women. The woman said that Kenyan men expect a woman to work, discipline your children and be good to your family. She took issue with Kenyan men talking about Ugandan and Tanzanian women who go down on their knees but forget that their men bring real gold home.
The next caller was male and he said that if you want men to tow the line, the women should be good. he sought to justify having clandestine lovers saying that wives don’t make the home hospitable hence the lady that we know as “Plan B” will “nyenyekea”. Mugu (foolish) speech this! This caller angered me by he referring to women as pumpkins and he doesn’t sound like Denzel himself.
At this point an argument errupted in the office as we debated on why it is Kenyan men feel their women owe them the world yet they fail to deliver even thistles! I feel Kenyan men need to style up because you can’t expect the world from your women yet you are no Chris Hemingway or Uncle Chim Tuna!

A female caller called in and said alot of sense. She said that the reason Kenyan men are useless is that they spend so much money on the clande and leave nothing at home so ofcourse the wives won’t make them home a bed of roses.
The next caller was a man who called in to say Maina is not a joker, he is serious about destroying Kenyan women. He said that you provide a home for her, food, everything but she still expects to be harsh? He dared Maina to call the lady who called in to call him back and tell Kenya whether or not she has a woman. He asserted that he is not a child. Infact, he is a real man! A man with a backbone because he had real male role models growing up.

To this Uncle Chim Tuna says: did you write the book on masculinity? No? Then shut up about this real man nonsense. You are the reason silly Kenyan boys think fighting everyone at the rave makes them a man! And for the record, a tiger doesn’t need to announce it’s tigritude! A man beating his chest is a shell of a man over compensating.
A female caller called in to say that for a woman to be rude to her man, he has to have done something wrong. She took issue with the fact that women work then they have to make the home a home. Kenyan men go to the bar, come home where they are strangers to their families and then they demand sex? She said that King’ang’i needs to be serious because how will the woman be expected to make a home when she knows her husband who swore to love and provide for her is keeping a silly girl somewhere whom he spends more on than he does on his own family?

I know you have been through one of those extremely slow traffic jams that seem not to open up any time soon, especially on traffic notorious roads like Ngong Road and Mombasa Road. Well, our very own fun loving, crazy radio presenter, Shaffie Weru just prepared a list of hilarious things you could to either maintain or completely lose your sanity or that of your fellow passengers, if stuck in traffic.

Here goes,

Next time you get stuck in jam, do the following to kill time especially if you are in a matatu.

1. Pick your nose and show your neighbor. Then, while giggling very excitedly, tell them “Its the biggest I have caught this week!”

2. Whistle “Mary had a little lamb!”. Repeat
twice while dramatizing.

3. Pretend you are about to puke on your neighbor, then when they duck, say “GOTCHA!”

4. Doze off. Sleep on your neighbor every few seconds. If they wake you up, apologize for fifteen minutes. Then repeat.

5. If there is music on the matatu, sing along but make sure you are really off-key! If anyone complains, start singing the national anthem.

6. Ask your neighbor when they had sex for the first time. Irrespective of the answer, say, “Acha Mushene!”

7. Pick your phone, say hallo, wait for a few minutes … then say a loud NOOOOO! Then, shake everyone’s hand while saying goodbye! Insist the caller was God and he says you will have an accident. Then alight.

8. Sleep for five minutes, wake up and say to your neighbor, “Mbwa wewe!” … then go back to sleep. Repeat every five minutes!

9. Sleep and make sex sounds… then … Come.

10. Start preaching, sing one praise song, say a closing prayer, then immediately after saying Amen, start singing those obscene one-man guitar songs!

Now you’re up to date. Have a super day and remember to keep it Ghafla!

Swaleh Mdoe has now come out to denounce ALL the profiles bearing his name on Facebook. Today on Citizen News at 7, he said that he has no Facebook profiles, and is only on Twitter, where his official handle is @swalehmdoe. All the others are social media scammers who we at Ghafla! have been working hard to expose.

 

Here is a list of all the verified celebrity Facebook accounts we’ve gathered.

Here is a list of all the verified celebrity Twitter accounts we’ve gathered.

Alcoholic party-goers were today saddened by news that despite a spirited attempt by Mt. Elgon MP Fred Kapondi to amend the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act, parliament unceremoniously rejected it.

Bars, pubs and alcohol sellers were in 2010 rocked by what has now come to be known as the “Mututho Law” where pubs came from being able to sell alcohol 24 hours a day, to only be able to sell alcohol from 5 to 10pm on weekdays, and from 2pm onwards during the weekend.

The reaction was mixed, as people who ‘recharge their batteries’ by drinking were visibly upset, while others who don’t partake of the poison were in a celebratory mood. MP Kapondi wanted to have the drinking hours extended extensively by 6 whole hours, AND remove the current rule of not allowing children into bars. His case was that drinking in restaurants was many times a family activity. Millie Odhiambo opposed this point, saying,

 

“commercial interests should never override the rights of children.”

 

Another argument from Fred Kapondi was that businesses dealing with alcohol are being unfairly loaded with additional overhead costs.

Of course, John Mututho was having nothing of this. He said,

 

“This would mean you have 14 hours of drinking, eight hours of sleep and only two hours of working! A working nation cannot be based on 14 hours of drinking,”

 

The other MPs in attendance joined Mututho in his resistance to the change.

 

I feel it must be said, though, that despite all these restrictive laws, Kenyan drinkers still seem to have found ways of skirting them, with leading Kenyan breweries reporting increased profits in the years after the law was introduced.

Paul Were and Kevin Omondi have been expelled from the national team participating in the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup in Kampala Uganda.

Head coach James Nandwa has confirmed to futaa.com that the two sneaked out on the team after the 2 – 0 win over South Sudan and spent the night out, an act the coach termed disgraceful and has confirmed they will be flying back home any time soon.

Unacceptable

-We will no longer have Were and Omondi in camp for the CECAFA. They sneaked out last night and brought with them some ladies in camp, a behaviour that is so disgraceful and unacceptable while on such an important mission.

Expelled

-The two have thus been expelled from the team as they await further punishment. They will be on their way back home in a short while, he told futaa.com.

Omondi had a great game against South Sudan on Tuesday, assisting in both goals while Paul Were was substituted after 58 minutes.
