Month: February 2013

Remember the lad that was left with egg on his face when Esther Arunga announced that she was with Quincy Timberlake (the Congolese Kenyan chap with absolutely no affiliation or ties to Nigeria)? The lad whose heartbreak and subsequent pain was caught on camera’s?

Well, he finally had the last laugh when he had a fairytale wedding over the weekend to his sweet heart. Gone were the memories of the drama and in it’s place was a loving blushing bride. I was happy for the lad. How could i help but be happy for the lad after what he went through? Every lad’s worst nightmare is being left by their fiance at the drop of a hat and she publicly denies you in the process.

Malaba tied the knot to Muthoni Njoroge in a wonderful ceremony at Loreto on Saturday. While this lad was taking a huge step, i was nursing a hangover. For shame. i love to see that the Finger Of God fiasco didn’t dent his faith in true love and he finally has a beautiful bride of his own.

The Churchill Show finally went on air last night after a botched attempt last week. The show defined “total makeover” from the name; Churchill Live to Churchill Show, the stage was stunning and the graphics.

Churchill Show Season 3 episode 1 took over from its predecessors, only this one proving to be better. The show introduced fresh and talented comedians and deviating from the norm where Churchill himself would introduce the show, this time it was comedian Paul Ogutu.

The set was also improved as the guests were interviewed by the lead comedians unlike in the past when only Churchill would interview them. Take a look at the full episode below courtesy of NTV.

After Churchill Show failed to air last Sunday, the comedy finally went on air last night on NTV. However, the first episode could not fail to stir controversy about its execution.

You all know Cabu Gah, yeah? If you don’t, read more about him HERE. Anyhow, Cabu Gah was under Churchill’s mentorship and even had an opportunity to work with him. However, after yesterday’s show, he was disappointed (just like most other fans of the show) and had some “advice” to Churchill and his team. Take a look;

Morning Churchill,
I have had the priviledge to work with You,be mentored by U n learn from You. And ,on that note,My respect for You will always be intact…You are the KING of the Laughter Industry,No doubt. But Hey:

Even Kings get dethroned! You Never heard that?? Yes,Kings lose their power and get thrown off into exiles! And,am afraid,Ur treading on that risky road,My fellow Kamba Brother!

Last Sunday,the NTV computers crashed and the whole Episode 1 of Your show was lost! Kenya was disapointed! Hugely! Little did we know that it was God’s way of saying,”Hey Guys,You dont want to show this cr*p to the public! You just dont! I am a Loving God,let me save You the shame,am crashing this computers!

EDITING:

TOTO’S CORNER:

MC JESSY:

ERIC OMONDI:
If You introduce someone as the FUNNIEST MAN IN AFRICA,I actualy expect him to live up to that name! What was he doing there?? Hey Eric,that “am skinny ” joke is sooo 2008! Drop it already! Lifting paper gyms isnt funny! Its annoying! And those corrupted song clips,take them to Q TV. Thats where Your friend Kajairo operates from! Eric,Either give me punchlines before I punch you into line! Funniest Man,my a**!!

Otherwise,It was a boring,annoying,lethargic,cheap,poor,incoherent and unentertaining show!

I spent half of the time scratching my b*lls!

BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL CHURCHILL LIVE! Na SI TAFATHALI.

So, guys what are your thoughts about yesterday’s show?

At this point, I believe we should now just list a bunch of links chronologically explaining the Goldie story so far:

Wedding Bells: Prezzo And Goldie Wedding Set For 9th Of February!

Prezzo goes all romantic on his lover (letter)

Prezzo denies all!!!

Goldie Harvey is Dead

Goldie’s Booking Agent Now Denies Her Death. What On Earth Is Going On?

Hospital Confirms That Goldie Has Passed On, And Reveals Cause Of Death

Prezzo Was To Hook Up With Goldie Today

Prezzo Finally Breaks The Silence About Goldie’s Death

Goldie’s Husband Emerges From The Shadows and Tells Off Prezzo

Goldie’s Husband Unleashes Photo Evidence Of Their Marriage

OH NO: The Late Goldie Harvey’s Best Friend Comes Out Saying Goldie Stole Her Husband!

Now on to the current story:

Ifeomi Harvey, the alleged former best friend of Goldie, has shown rather strong evidence that her husband Andrew Harvey may have been philanderously married to the two of them at the same damn time. On her Facebook, Ifeomi posted photos from a UK Electoral Roll that her and Andrew Harvey were registered in the same household through 2002 – 2009. Click the following link to see for yourself:

http://www.192.com/atoz/people/harvey/ifeoma/bs16/2078139582/

And just in case that is deleted, the electoral records are also in the leading photo above. You may click it to enlarge and see everything.

Ifeoma states that those electoral records, when put up against Goldie and Andrew Harvey’s wedding photos, the wedding photos are dated 2006, as you can see in the photo below:

Which all in all goes to show that something extra-marital may have been going on.

I don’t know what to make of this. Over to you guys. Should this Ifeoma woman let sleeping dogs lie, and leave Goldie to rest in peace, or should the truth be pursued at all costs? Leave your interesting or creative responses in the comment section below:

Oh my goodness, as if this Goldie’s death is not a big enough circus already!

First Goldie’s official social media accounts announced that she was dead,then her manager came out claiming that the death announcement was all a fake, then the hospital at which she died had to confirm the death and cause, then Prezzo said he was supposed to meet her on Valentines, then a mzungu named Andrew Harvey came out and said that he was indeed the late Goldie Harvey’s husband, and posted pictures online to prove his point!

*Deep breath*… and now the story gets even deeper!

Now a woman named Ifeoma Harvey(pictured), has come out to say that Goldie Harvey stole her husband(Andrew Harvey)!

Ifeoma has taken to Facebook to say her part of the story where she claims that she and Goldie were best friends a while back. According to Ifeoma, Goldie waited for the opportune moment to elope with Andrew Harvey in Nigeria, while he was still married to Ifeoma. “She never knew that one day death would come calling,” says Ifeoma, “She rendered that man useless,took all his money and right now Andrew Harvey is lying in the hospital in Malaysia.”

This part of the story seems to check out with Andrew Harvey’s claim that he is currently in Malaysia. Ifeoma went on:

“Goldie went to Malaysia to visit the sick man before going to USA(for the Grammys) and came back to meet her mysterious death. Goldie is a liar, pretender and desperado. She wants to get money and fame at all cost… forced her trashy music down our throat, went to BBA and messed up with Prezzo… married woman indeed! Why is Andrew posting their so-called marriage pics now? Maybe the charm she used has cleared from his eyes! He should shut the hell up and pray for quick recovery from his sick bed in Malaysia. After that he can go back to London and beg his wife and two kids for forgiveness!”

Ay-bo! What happened to respecting the dead now? Leave your comments below:

The recent death of Goldie Harvey is unfortunately turning into a circus of sorts. First of all, when Goldie died, it was updated on her official social media accounts, only for her booking manager to come out and deny that she had died. It took intervention from the Reddington hospital to confirm her death and the cause of it. Then shortly afterwards, Prezzo, who has been alleged by the media to be Goldie’s lover, came out and told Churchill that he was going to spend Valentine’s day with Goldie, only for a man named Andrew Harvey, who says he is Goldie’s HUSBAND did an interview and told off Prezzo for seeking media attention!

Now Andrew Harvey has posted photos of him and Goldie’s life and times, including wedding photos, which should go a long way in dispelling the doubters that he was indeed Goldie’s husband. He said that the Goldie-Prezzo thing was a bunch of nothingness, just like relationships in the movies. Here are the photos of Goldie and Andrew Harvey:

During last year’s Big Brother Africa show, Goldie and Prezzo developed a close relationship, which ever since has led to media speculation even after they left the Big Brother house. There was even a rumor that Goldie and Prezzo were getting married! Prezzo also allegedly told Churchill that they were to hook up on Valentine’s. Anyway, in an interview with Nigerian publication TheNetNG, a man named Andrew Harvey, who claims to be the legally married husband of the now deceased Goldie Harvey, came out to debunk the whole Prezzo-Goldie affair. This is the interview in full:

So sorry about your loss. And so sorry to be contacting you under this circumstance. Nigerians are shocked to discover, through your FB post, that Goldie was married. I’m wondering if you’ll able to give me more details, and if we can have your permission to print some of the photos in the folder ‘Memories of my darling wife’?

You may print the photos, as for the details it really depends on what it is you’re looking for

 Thanks Andrew. Just to clarify a few things

Like?

When did you wed her? And were you still married as at when she passed yesterday?

We wed in December 2005 and were very much married when she passed indeed I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event

I see you moved back to England. Do you have another family?

I work in Malaysia, we have a private home in UK, I do not have a second family

Also did you have kids together?

No kids, we were planning this year

There had been speculation for many years that she was married to an ‘oyinbo’ man. But no one could lay hands on anything. Why did you keep it a ‘secret’?

Our private life is nothing to do with work life, there has to be a balance

How did you hear of her death? I found out you last saw her in December?

I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event

How did you meet her? She must have been very young…

I met her at a friend’s leaving party and fell in love straight away, but had to work hard to persuade her I was genuine

So you will be planning to come here for burial rites…

Yes I have applied for visa and shall come next week

But how did you manage the Prezzo drama?

Prezzo was part of BBA game, just like in the movies, there was nothing to fear

But funny it dragged way beyond BBA

It dragged because the media dragged it, other wise it would have died naturally. Prezzo will say anything to get attention

Do you think he fell in love? And did you ever think Susan liked him for a minute…?

People fall in love and it’s not impossible to love more than one person, but there are different levels. She liked him initially, but began to despise him and distanced herself as he tried to use her she complained he was very manipulative

How did you come about your alias ‘Oyibopeppay?

Oyiiibopeppay is a name used in the villages for white man getting burned in the sun. I used to work in the bush erecting BTS for MTN and Glo

You have direct access to her password? The memories album was posted on her twitter. Or you requested for an admin to post?

I am an official admin. I don’t need any password but my own. It was authorised by Goldie

One last question: so much speculation on cause of death. I see from your facebook timeline that you’ve followed the reports. Have the doctors/family/label told you what the cause of death is?

An autopsy is being carried out and we will await results. The rest is speculation and hearsay

And did she have any medical condition?

She had no medical condition,

Is it true she was in India recently?

She was in Malaysia, we spent Christmas together away from prying eyes

What will you miss most about her?

Everything, she was the most beautiful person I ever met, no moment was wasted. Sweet, intelligent, sexy and a magnificent cook!!!!

And she was a determined young lady…

Very. That’s what I liked about her

Are you originally from England? Was she officially a citizen of your country by marriage? Or that was not concluded?

I’m from England and was processing Nigerian citizenship before I was transferred to Malaysia. Of course she was citizen of UK before we met, she lived and schooled there

She was indeed a star, as I’m sure you’ve seen from the tributes coming from far and near. Even the BBC and Billboard recognise her star

Yes we saw it on BBC news tonight. It is a devastating loss, but I support just as much wherever she has gone to.

As Octopizzo hang out with widows and their orphaned kids in Kibera and; Mike Sonko with other Jubilee luminaries in Buruburu marking the lovers’ day, in another part of town, a well-known former KBC anchor received a rather shocking Valentine’s Day “gift”.

Milton Nyakundi was yesterday accosted by muggers who made away with his mobile phone. In a Facebook post earlier today, thanking God, Nyakundi confirmed that he was safe and sound and actually relieved that the thugs did not harm him, “Thank God my Valentine gift by thugs did not end in tragedy and am therefore safe and sound. Please text me so that I can save your number again. Good day pals!”

Apparently, this is not the first time that the now freelance journalist has been in such a situation. Not long ago, Nyakundi was in a situation with the police who harassed him but the matter was settled amicably.

Do you have a weird talent? Then you might just be what an upcoming reality TV show is looking for.

Your weird, unique and twistedly creept talent might just lead to great opportunities. Here’s a list of things that might give you an edge on the show:

– Snap your toes
– Put a Coke can in your mouth
– Lick your elbow
– Have a kid that can sing
– Acrobatics/balancing
– Play a flute with your nose
– Lift heavy weights
– Stay underwater for long

If you can do any of the listed and other weird  things, then get in contact with Avant Films at 0707 298 177.

This is what Kenyan journalist and gay activist Dennis Nzioka had to say to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission on William Samoei Ruto.

I want to bring to your attention the remarks that Mr William Samoei Ruto, the former MP for Eldoret North and current running mate of Jubilee Alliance (headed by Mr Uhuru Kenyatta).

Mr Ruto, in a televised debate – of running mates/deputy presidents designates – aired on all Christian TV and radio stations, as well as the national broadcaster, KBC, uttered the following remarks: ‘Homosexuals and dogs are from the same school.’

In addition to Mr Ruto, the other running mates all uttered negative, stereotypical and inflammatory remarks about gay and lesbian Kenyans.

The utterances by Mr Ruto amount to hate speech and inflammatory language designed to incite and provoke backlash and violence against homosexuals.

His use of the word ‘dog’ is tantamount genocidal lingo as even Kenyans who dislike or disapprove of LGBT people should be alarmed and disgusted by Ruto’s comments.

If a politician can dehumanize ANY segment of the population using epithets like “dog” (cp. the use of “cockroaches” In Rwanda in 1994), it means he is capable of genocide against any group he decides to hate.

The remarks have not been taken lightly. We feel that if there is continued ostracizing and fencing of the community or any coded attacks on any Kenyan’s particular identity or orientation is tantamount to hate speech and vile language. it is more so serious if the same is said or uttered or done by a political leader.

I call to your attention the volatile and sensitive issue of marking out (any) community at this time of elections and how this can lead to nasty consequences.

The LGBT community is in danger over his remarks and we urge NCIC to immediately and without delay initiate investigations into the remarks (and there is evidentiary proof of the same to back up the charge) and lead to prosecution of Mr Ruto.

We have likewise written to the political party/coalition that Mr Ruto is affiliated to and pressed our concerns. We have also demanded a retraction and an apology from Mr Ruto.

We hope to hear from you on this grave matter in the earliest time possible.

Denis Nzioka,
Gay Kenyan, activist and Voter

To the disappointment of the Churchil Live fans, the comedy show failed to air last week as scheduled and widely advertised. Not to worry though, the show will be back on air next Sunday and the line-up of guests is just too interesting.

First off, the first episode of the new season of Churchil Live show will be hosting presidential aspirant, Abduba Dida.

Now, Churchil Ndambuki has let his fans know that Prezzo has been his latest guest on stage. These episodes have already been recorded and are awaiting airplay.

According to Churchil, Prezzo talked about his blossoming love with Nigerian singer, Goldie and even mentioned that he would be visiting her on Valentines day.

It is too sad that all that could not happen due to Goldie’s sudden death.

Ronald Wamumali, the author of the book about the Makadara MP and Nairobi senator candidate, Mike Sonko, has just gotten a publishing deal.

The fictional book in which the flashy politician is depicted as a villain who later becomes a hero secured a deal with Texas-based Oakes Writing Consultant. The same writer is also working on a book about Kenyan Olympic gold medalist, David Rudisha.

The book titled The Adventures of Mike Mbuvi Sonko was written by Ronald Wamumali, who is doing it as a tribute to the MP for giving so much to the community he serves.

Thanks to Ghafla!’s story about his book, he secured a deal. “I have been approached by a huge publishing company who wanted the book. After reading the manuscript, they decided to offer me the contract.”

The book is a short novella and it is part of a continuing series. It depicts Mike Sonko as a lab experiment that was intended to be used by the government as a biological weapon. Instead, he turns rogue and starts defending the people against the government’s injustices.

While most celebs and other guys were busy painting the town red quite literally and splashing cash on their loved ones, Mike Sonko and other Jubilee big wigs among them URP’s William Ruto marked the day in a low-key event at Unity College then went ahead to enjoy lunch at a local joint as the public watched and took pictures.

Take a look;

The news of Goldie’s death came to our attention this morning when her official social media accounts dropped the announcement. However, there was a twist in the tale, where her booking manager jumped into the picture and said that the whole thing was a hoax. Later on, Reddington hospital, where she had died, came in and gave an official press release on the time and cause of death.

Since then, tributes to the fallen star have been pouring in. Clearly this was a well-loved person in the celebrity community. Here are the few we have managed to gather.:

Mercy Johnson: Waje ooooooo,am so broken,remember we all did dinner before d wedding,awww waje,am hurt
Waje: Am so hurt,so hurt.RIP my dear friend GOLDIE
Kalu Ikeagwu: Goodnight Goldie. Go rest after all the day’s work.
Audu Maikori: Honest I do not even have the words to describe how distraught I am with the news of Goldie’s death! Gods will be done. We mourn her deeply
Seyi Law: Than you Lord for the Gift of Life…RIP Goldie Harvey, you’ll be greatly missed!
Lami Phillips: “The more i know;the less i understand” God keep your soul Goldie. Oluwa sanu fun wa.
Linda Ikeji: Finding it so difficult to sleep. Scared of closing my eyes. Young, vibrant people aren’t supposed to die so suddenly. RIP Goldie
Darey Art Alade: So sad hearing about Goldie…? big dreams gone just like that? Go well dear… Let’s celebrate her life #RIPGoldie
Stella Damasus: Rest in peace Goldie. We will miss you dearly. God grant your family the strength to bear the loss. It is well.
Terry Tha Rapman: God rest your soul, Goldie!
Banky W: My Goodness… i Just heard some terrible news.. RIP Goldie Harvey… wow. Lord bless her soul & have mercy on us all. 
Keitta Ossei Massai: Goldie! R.i.P! God be with you!

Prezzo, who was in an on-and-off relationship with Goldie in the Big Brother House, has so far not been available for comment, and neither has he said anything on social media. Prezzo and Goldie were recently rumored to be getting married, a rumor which Prezzo has since denied.

What a whirlwind news cycle this has been. First off, in the morning, we got word that Goldie Harvey had died, through her official social media accounts. Then later, Goldie’s booking manager came out to deny the rumors, causing us to ask what was going on? Was it a hoax like her alleged wedding to Prezzo?

 Now doctors from Reddington Hospital, where Goldie was alleged to have passed on, have confirmed through a press release that Susan Harvey(Goldie’s real name), is indeed dead. The pronounced time of passing was about 11pm last night(Lagos time) and the cause of death was a pulmonary embolism, which is  an obstruction of a blood vessel in the lungs usually caused by a blood clot which blocks a coronary artery.

Goldie was best known for her time in the Big Brother house, she fell head over heels in love with Prezzo, to the point of once vomiting when he told her they were just friends. Prezzo eventually warmed up to her and recent rumor had it that they were to get married, which was later denied by Prezzo

Mike Sonko has a thing for music; if he’s not buying Ala-C shoes because of his Walking Class song, he is hanging out with his friend and favorite artist, Jaguar. So, recently during a TNA/URP rally, the youthful politician took to the deejay’s booth to try his hands on the wheels of steel. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, say hello to DJ Sonko!!!
