Month: August 2013

It seems that Maleek a.k.a. Moses Kamunya Odhiambo, he who not long ago ‘killed off’ his young daughter on Facebook all for fame and money, has a knack for jumping from controversy to controversy.

Now if you remember well in April, Eric Omondi’s younger brother and fellow stand-up comedian, Fred Omondi was rumoured to be in a serial sexual relationships with different girls and that he was HIV positive, allegations that saw three of his shows, each worth 150,000, cancelled.

The rumours spread faster than bush fire prompting comedian Eric Omondi to come to the defence of his younger brother even as Fred fought to salvage his image which was rapidly getting blemished.

Well, Pulse reported that after a few days of investigation by the CID Fred was summoned and asked if he knows one Moses Odhiambo a.k.a. Maleek. Fred said he does know Maleek as a musician and one of his closest friends, whom Fred has been hosting in his house like a brother for years. They also went to the same secondary school— Kisumu Boys High School.

Apparently, Maleek was the rumour mill. He was arrested on Monday April 22 and placed in police custody for 3 days before finally deciding to spill the beans.

 

Maleek

 

While pleading to the two comedian brothers to pardon his distasteful acts, Maleek confessed in the presence of police officers at Nairobi’s Central Police Station saying that evil spirits had directed him to do so.

“I disguised myself as a groupie, claiming to have had a sexual relationship with Fred and then sent it to the Daily Post,” before adding,

“Frankly, I had no ill-motives and did not know these might ruin Fred’s career.”

According to the CID officer handling the case, it was a clear case of impersonation and Maleek would have also faced charges of libel.

“However, our hands were tied when Fred came and requested to withdraw the case on condition that Maleek admits publicly that he was the mastermind behind the scam.”

You can catch Fred Omondi at the iClub’s Comedy Night tonight which he hosts. Check out the details here.

#10 Ghafla! exposé: ILLUMINATI INDUSTRY

 

Now that we’re on the same page, keep it Ghafla! for more exclusive scoop.

If I had a twenty sh coin for every text/email contributors/writers in Ghafla! have received asking to join the Illuminati, I’d take myself on a SWEET holiday.

But I don’t. Instead I found myself screaming “THERE IS NO F**KING ILLUMINATI!!!” ten times over the phone to a wispy-voiced girl, proceeding to scream so guttural that Kanye West himself would be proud of me. And then I hung up.

Ten minutes later I received a call. 

*insert mulika mwizi ring-tone*
-Good afternoon. This is Nali from Ghafla! speaking. How may I help you?-
-Hello? Hello? He… He…. Hello?-
*quiet*
-Hello, you’ve reached Nali. Can you hear me?-
-Hello?-
-I can hear you Miss. Shoot.-
-Madam, please. Unaninice. I want to be a little devil. Just help me.-
-Miss, this number is strictly for current Illuminati members. I’m sorry I can’t help you. Have a good day.-

Immediately after I hang up, I realized. I’m done denying it. There IS an Illuminati. And for all gullible tractionless willing-to-sell-their-souls fools everyone who has asked, Ghafla! is embarking on a 5-week exposé on Kenya’s “Illuminati Industry”.

Illuminati (some of you used to call us Freemasons) members are anyone and everyone who has monetised something that people dismissed once as “not a real job”. Seriously, all you have to do is sign up, and watch the cash roll IN!

So the next five weeks Ghafla! is taking our readers in depth into five “Illuminati” careers, week by week. A DETAILED run down of how you can join Illuminati through each and every single one of them. Every path to Illuminati membership is different, but WHO CARES! Getting in is hard enough, so all members have a mutual respect for each other. None is above the other. We are just all Illuminati brethren.

These are the newest careers guaranteed to land you in the Illuminati. (PS: STRICTLY NO SOCIALITES IN ILLUMINATI. They are not eligible to join. But they are ALWAYS called to the parties to provide entertainment.)

No need to text us, call us anymore. I’ll tell you this though: It’s not a lie what you’ve heard. It’s not easy. BUT most importantly, is, Illuminati membership is available to everyone. You have my word, EVERYONE.

First installment tomorrow at 13:00hrs Kenyan Time.

Motherhood is a truly honourable burden that women the world over undertake and I for one believe in celebrating motherhood. Think about it, as Tupac asked, “Where would we be without our mothers?”

And it is in the the same spirit that i want to celebrate Nyota Ndogo’s motherhood. I came across a picture of her breast feeding her baby and thought to myself, “Aaaaw!” and trust me when I tell you that Uncle Chim Tuna isn’t a sentimental type of chap.

So without further ado, I present to you:

I have had enough of seeing Jamaican inspired fashion with little lads in Kenya because honestly, there is nothing swaggy about it. And because I believe that a problem is only a problem if you have a solution at hand to implement, I have to decided to raise this problem and use examples of well dressed Kenyan celebrities as a point of reference.

and being Naija myself, I know a thing or two about style and class. infact if there are people in Africa who know about class, it is Nigerians, Congolese and Luhyas know a thing or two about style.! So allow me to teach you a how to style up using Shaffie Weru (and for a point of note, i do not go in for the high fashion poof sense of style, I keep it simple but clean):

 

 

While chilling with the lads -steady sippin’- or for a night out around town -and notice the Shaqnosis kicks on his feet:

They retail at about 165 Sterling Pounds!

 

When you want to go out to a cocktail party a dinner, this look says 007 suave!

While chilling out and about town on one of those “meh” days

 

Even grown men can experiment with fashion once in a while. And Shaffie has pulled off this pair of harem pants rather well.

 

So Kenyan lads, stop dressing like lollipops or like Jamaican ruffians and step up your couture etiquette. If you want that ten over ten lass, play your part!

Emmy Kosgei has finally gone on record and spoken out about her impending marriage to Nigerian televangelist Apostle Anslem Madubuko in an attempt to put all the rumours to bed. And she decided to give her exclusive to KTN but I forgive her! Why?

Well, let it never be said that Uncle Chim Tuna is not magnanimous, I am truly a forgiving chap. Do you know why? Well,

 

 

And so without further ado, allow me to present to you the video of Emmy Kosgei talking about her impending nuptial;

Libby Clement is not a new name to anyone who knows Kenyan music. But she has been in the backwaters for far too long and the powers that be at Grand Pa have decided to give her a big break!

And who better to engineer this than Refiggah? the man who has given us hit after hit after hit? And indeed, he has decided the time has come for Libby Clement to shine like a star. And indeed the comely lass is ready. Check out the photo gallery of her video shoot below:

 

 

 

As the string of violent crime incidents is dropping, robbers are becoming sophisticated by embracing technical know-how in their ‘talent’. Recently, worship singer Eunice Njeri, fell victim to such a gang.

While she away in Canada for ministry, money mysteriously disappeared from her KCB account and could not be accounted for. Upon her return less than a fortnight ago, she met that kick in the teeth. Revealing the same on social media, Eunice remained confident that she will get her cash back.

“My account at Kenya Commercial Bank was hacked through the ATM and I sure hope I will get the money back, trusting God.”

However, when contacted, Eunice revealed that the matter has been taken up by the relevant authorities at KCB and that she will be refunded her hard-earned cash in its entirety.

During her 25-week trip to Canada, Eunice headlined 32 events in 19 different cities! Talk of spreading the word.

Celebrated radio presenter and TV host Sheila Mwanyigha was on Saturday evening unveiled as the brand ambassador for Vaseline Lotion during the fourth edition of the Kenya Fashion Week.

Over the past decade, Vaseline has been driving innovation in the skin care market and setting new standards – from the design of its products to its foray into the fashion industry by being the principal sponsor of the Kenya Fashion Week.

Yesterday we told you how an upcoming artist ‘killed’ his young daughter on Facebook all for fame and money. This tale has left many in shock and disgust for the artist with other bay for his blood. Let’s just carry on where we left off.

 On Thursday Morning,Maleek and Ketty woke up. And started texting their mutual friends asking them to meet at Club Psys in town in the evening.

And at Club Psys,Maleek’s army of friends showed up in full force. To show Support and Love. And Yes,they didnt just offer verbal support but financial too.

All this time,Maleek had been using his FB page and account to post grief updates…sad,sorrowful updates…asking his friends to help him finance his late daughter’s funeral.

Touched by his story,Maleek’s friends donated mightily to him. They gave and gave and gave. And Maleek couldnt be happier.

Every two hours,he would update, “R.I.P Angel. Miss You so much”…

Anyway,after the Thursday meeting at Club Psys,Maleek and Ketty went home. But Maleek’s behaviour and attitude at the funeral gathering was totally strange. He didnt speak,sound or look like someone who had just lost a daughter. And his friends greatly smelt somethng suspicious.

Damn! This guy is fooling us! They concluded.

And when they got home,Ketty’s 3 Year old son was sleeping on the couch….and then Maleek said the MOST SHOCKING thing!

He said,

”Unacheki vile mtoi wako amelala hapa…akiwa ameangalia juu…ivo ndivo mtoi wangu alikuwa amelala akidedi…hahaha…ama hata huyu mtoi wako akufe alafu badala ya kusema REST IN PEACE tutawaambia PEST IN PIECES….”

And HE LAUGHED.

Ketty’s heart almost stopped!

Anyway,when Maleek texted his pals asking them to turn up again at Club Psys on Friday evening,No One showed up. Only him,Ketty were there.

And when he texted them again pleading with them to show up on saturday evening for more funeral planning,again,NO ONE showed up. Only Ketty and her sister.

People had started suspecting Maleek. And NO ONE was believing him.

Except poor Ketty. Ketty was a bestfriend,and it was so easy for Maleek to fool and hoodwink Ketty.

Ketty believed him all-through. And stuck by him as true friends should.

So,following Monday,Ketty and her son boarded a Kisumu-bound bus….she travelled overnight and arrived at Kisumu following Tuesday morning.

Upon arrival,Ketty and her son hired a car and drove to the Aga Khan Mortuary after reading Maleek’s FB update which read ,” At Aga Khan Mortuary now…to pick up the body of my swt daughter…”

Upon arrival at the Aga Khan Mortuary,she realized that there was NO ACTIVITY there. No people. No Maleek. Nothing.

Ketty moved in and inquired whether there was a body of a little girl which was to be collected that morning. And the attendants said there was nothng like that.

Ketty was shocked. She tried calling Maleek. He wouldn’t pick up the phone. She called him again and again and he finally put off his phone.

Ketty was mad. She couldn’t believe this was happening.

And after asking around,someone gave Ketty the phone number of Baby Tinisha’s mother. Immediately,Ketty called her up saying,

“Pole sana kwa kukusumbua at such a trying moment. Anyway,tuko Mortuary sasa na Maleek hachukui simu. Mnakuja saa ngapi? Pole sana for losing your daughter Tinisha…”

Tinisha’s mama screamed on phone! She said Baby Tinisha was NOT dead! ” Hata ako hapa anacheza na marafiki wake!!” She screamed.

“Hata Maleek tuliwachana kitambo na mimi nikaolewa Mombasa! Niko Coast saa hii! Tinisha ako hai! God! Hajakufa! Ako hapa!” Maleek’s Baby Mama screamed.

Ketty’s heart sank. It seemed like a stupid joke. A horror joke.

Maleek had been lying for a WHOLE WEEK. Lying,Lying,Lying.

He fooled his FB friends,his real life friends,his family. Everybody. Maleek had fooled Everybody!

Baby Tinisha wasn’t DEAD! Baby was alive and kicking! And having fun with Mummy at the Coast!

WHAAAAAT! Ketty’s head was spinning. Spinning hard and fast.

And when Maleek was contacted later by the Standard Media, he confessed that his friends had donated Ksh.300,000 to him. For the funeral expenses. A funeral that never was!

And when asked whether he would refund the money to the innocent people he swindled it from,he hang up his phone.

 

After giving you ‘Furifuri’ and ‘Sarisari’ whose catchy beats have ensured they stay on music charts for the longest time possible, the brains behind the two, DK Kwenye Beat is back with another bolt from the blue.

DK has been working on a project with the hit maker producer Teddy B called ‘Asusu’. The jam’s inspiration is from the Biblical story of Job, a man who never gave up on God despite losing money, family and health .He stayed true to God.

The entire 42 chapters of the Book of Job are wrapped up in this definite catchy song ‘Asusu’, with DK encouraging you to keep serving and that God is watching despite our many downfalls. This is Jo’s story told in a modern style.

‘Asusu’ brings to the surface DK’s music prowess, matched up with Teddy B’s catchy beats and then treated to Juma Tutus’ melodious saxophone sounds. It’s an easy sing along with awesome lyrics and it preaches to all.

The video is a work in plan. It has a promising out of the normal script.

I know you’ve already heard and read how an upcoming artist allegedly conspired to ‘kill’ his daughter all for money. Well, full details of how 28 Year old Maleek a.k.a. Moses Kamunya Odhiambo killed’ his own daughter for the love of attention and money.

Cabu Gah recently spoke to a lady, Ketty Nyaga, who played host to Maleek for the entire ‘mourning period’. Here’s what Cabu Gah found out (Warning: Long Post Ahead!);

On August 5th 2013,Maleek made a facebook post about his daughter. He told his FB friends that his 4-Year old daughter was seriously ill and that she needed urgent prayers.

And on August 6th,Maleek updated that his daughter’s condition had worsened. And urged for more prayers.

And on 9th August,Maleek made the final chilling update. He updated that his daughter had died. And he finished off with “R.I.P swt Tinisha”.

BANG. His friends jammed his phone. His Facebook friends flooded his inbox and raped his wall. He was bombarded with a torrent of “R.I.P” messages. And he Loved it. The BASTARD Loved the attention.

Feigning devastation,Maleek phoned his bestfriend Ketty and requested that he joins her in Nairobi to be able to plan his daughter’s funeral easily. Being the amazing friend she is,Ketty invited Maleek to her place. And on August 10th,Maleek arrived in Nairobi from Kisumu. He carried ALL his stuff. In 3 huge bags,and moved into Ketty’s Nairobi home.

And from there,the “funeral plans” began. Ketty was like a mother to Maleek. She let him move into her place,she offered herself,her money,time and energy to help Maleek go through this devastating period.

All this time,Maleek would cry and mourn and say how much he misses his sweet daughter.

And on 12th August,on Monday,Maleek woke up and told Ketty that he wanted to go to his daughter’s former school to report her death and get a death certificate. And he went.

On Tuesday,13th August,Maleek again woke up and said he was going to town for a photoshoot. Kumbe the idiot was going to drink. And true to his character,Maleek didnt attend any photoshoot. He spent the day with friends with whom he drank until 3am in the morning…Wednesday morning.

All this time,Ketty was getting suspicious of this guy. Maleek’s attitude and character didnt betray the character of a mourning person. He seemed too happy,too jovial and upbeat to be mourning. And Ketty started suspecting him.

Anyway,the bigot came home Wednesday mourning at 3am. Drunk to death. And when the sun came out,Maleek woke Ketty up and told her that they should go to Kenyatta Market to buy a coffin.

Maleek even called a certain coffin-maker at Kenyatta Market and told her, “Ni sanduku ya mtoto wa miaka nne. Halafu,I want it to be painted in pink…She loved pink…”

And the Kenyatta Market Mama started working on the pink coffin immediately.

But somethng strange happened. While they were on their way to Kenyatta Market,Maleek told Ketty ,”Ama tu-buy Legend twende IMAX tukakunywe?!”

Legend is a type of alcohol. And now,Maleek,instead of going to collect his daughter’s coffin,was suggesting that they buy beer and go to IMAX to drink. Ketty was shocked.

Is this man even serious?? Did he really love his daughter?? Ketty wondered.

And they abandoned the coffin idea. Went to IMAX to drink,and later on to Scratch Club in town for Karaoke Night. Remember,this is Wednesday night.

So,they landed at Scratch Club and sat. Shish of Tahidi High was hosting a Karaoke Night. And so,Ketty walked up to Shish and told her, “Sema Shish…Maleek amepoteza mtoi wake,na anataka kuimba song moja as a dedication…”

Shish was so shocked that she dropped the microphone. Later,she invited Maleek over to do a tribute song for his daughter. And Maleek did two funereal songs in memory of Baby Tinisha.

And after a few drinks late into the night,Ketty and Maleek went home……..

 

Here’s Part II

Maleek is one of the hottest topics in town.For doing something morbid,the unscrupulous individual lied to his friends and fans that his four year old daughter Tinisha was dead and was able to con a whooping  300,000 shillings from his generous fans and friends.

The artiste has since gone underground but has refused to return the stolen money.Rubble rouser Cabu Gah wrote an open letter to Maleek Saying:

“Hey,Listen up,Maleek! I know You will read this update via a fake FB account…

GOD WILL DEAL WITH YOU. He will deal with Your sorry ass!

For ‘killing’ Your daughter,for fooling your friends,swindling their money and being so heartless.

You are a shameless con,a thug,a rascal,a heartless scoundrel,an unscrupulous man,a serpent,a cold schemer and a scumbag!

Wherever You go,Whatever You do,THE LAW WILL CATCH UP with You.Yes,it will.

And it doesnt matter how long You take,Jail is Your next home. Believe Me.

Keep hiding,Bastard!Keep hiding!Your damn days are numbered.

And to Baby Tinisha,May You Live a whole,fulfilling life…Full of Success,Joy,Laughter and Love!”
