Rabble Rouser Cabu Gah Exposes The Vile MD Of One Of Kenya’s Top Companies (Part 2)

Here is the second part of the story:

An ambulance came later and rushed Yvonne and her pals to a little hospital in Pangani.But as fate would have it,the Beautiful Yvonne passed away. In that tiny hospital.What followed was even heart-breaking.

After Bid’s extremely abysmal destruction of human life,POLICE were unwilling to charge the godless culprit.Bid is a rich man. No,I meant WEALTHY man. A multi-multi millionaire.And police were WORSHIPING Him.2 months passed without ANY progress on the case.

And when Yvonne’s Father,Daniel Kaindi,went to Pangani Police Station to follow up on the case,Police told him that Mr.Bid had gone for a holiday and that they should wait for him to return!What cheek!
And when they went back again in January,the Police said they could NOT prosecute the matter because they did NOT have ANY statements from eye-witnesses.Lies.

The 2 other girls who had survived the grisly accident had repeatedly recorded statements with the same damn police. Yes,even a couple boda boda guys had done so.
But POLICE wouldn’t touch a man of Mr. Bid’s social stature.You DON’T TOUCH AN ALMIGHTY INDIAN LORD! It seemed.And when Mr. Kaindi went back later,the lousy Police told him that the file was missing!
Hmmmm,OKAY.And after Mr Kaindi contacted senior Police Officers for an explanation,He received a call from the Killer,Mr Bid.Bid DID NOT CALL Kaindi to apologize. Or show remorse. He called him to BRIBE Him. Yes!
And so,Kaindi,His wife Ruth and a lawyer met Mr Bid in a city restaurant. And,with a cold voice,a conceited mien and a presumptuous attitude,this Bid criminal offered them a Ksh.1m bribe to DROP the case.Kaindi was appalled. And he flatly REJECTED the atrocious bribe.
Superciliously,Mr Bid told him, “Fine. You don’t want my bribe? OK. I will spend LESS than that in court. Goodbye!”And as he rose to leave,He verbally assaulted Kaindi and his wife with some of the most obnoxious racial insults ever!Good Grief!

Anyway,on February 14th 2013,Bid was finally taken to court and charged with the murder of Yvonne Langat. He pleaded NOT GUILTY.But on a second hearing,on 23rd July 2013,Bid changed his plea to GUILTY.

And within 20 minutes,the magistrate Eddah Agode wrote and delivered her bullshit judgement.She ordered Bid to pay a fine of Kshs.100,000 for Yvonne’s murder or face SIX MONTHS in Jail.Ksh.100,000??? ONLY??!SIX MONTHS?? SIX MONTHS?? ONLY??!JESUS CHRIST!!!

And as for the other two students who were terribly injured in the freak accident,Bid,the MILLIONAIRE,was asked to pay them a fine of Ksh.2,500 each.Ksh.2,500??!?? Yes,Elfu Mbili na Mia Tano!!!!DAMMIT!!
And,that,my Friends,Is what happens when You are Unlucky enough to get KILLED by a boisterous,wealthy,stinking,racist,godless,haughty and vile RICH MAN!

Rabble-Rouser Cabu Gah Exposes The Vile MD Of One Of Kenya’s Top Companies

Rabble-Rouser Cabu Gah is known to stir up controversy but once in a while he exposes society’s evil.In his latest post Cabu Gah tells the story of how the rich can get away with even the most vile of crimes,he tells the story of a life lost in the hands of an MD.

He tells a tale of how Yvonne Chepng’etich cruelly lost her life and the quest for justice.Here is the tale:

“Last Year,Yvonne had just joined Utalii College for a course in Front Office management. And had already started enjoying her stay there.
And on that fateful October night,Yvonne and two other college pals had crossed to the other side of Thika Superhighway to buy a bag of chips.
On their way back,Yvonne and her pals stopped at a designated Zebra crossing on the road…waiting for their turn to cross…

Vehicles stopped for them to cross…But just as they were rushing to the other side,a Toyota Land Cruiser,driving at breakneck speed, zoomed towards them,flying over bumps,landing on to the Zebra crossing and,subsequently,mowing down Yvonne and her two pals.

Yvonne was launched into the air,her pals were flung across the road,their frail bodies splattering to the other side.The maniac driver NEVER even stopped. Or slowed down. He revved up the speed and attempted to drive away like the devil he was. And still is.

He only stopped when Boda Boda operators gave chase and caught up with him…The Murderous driver was NONE other than Mr Dilesh Somchand Bid,the Managing Director of Tausi Assurance Company Limited.

A heartless,loathsome,deeply repulsive and monstrous piece of a wicked human being.And when the boda boda guys caught up with them,they roughed him up and ordered him to drive right back and take the poor girls to hospital.

But this callous,grumpy little Indian schmuck rudely retorted that HE CANNOT ALLOW AFRICANS IN HIS CAR.His goddam car!And drove off. Just like that.

(And the saga continues in part two…)

Gado Depicts The Ongoing Tug Of War In Uhuru’s Life Concerning The ICC

A few days ago members of the African Union converged in Addis Ababa to discuss the fate of our president.They came to  unanimous decision that the president should snub the Hague with claims that a sitting president to go on trial in an international court was unheard off.

They even managed to rope in errant Botswana into the suicidal decision.As you are all aware Botswana was anti Uhuru skipping ICC.

However, not everyone agrees with the AU. A large number of Kenyans argue that Uhuru should attend the hearings if he truly is innocent and shun the advice of his fellow leaders as him skipping the Hague would be disastrous for him and the country.

The president is now at crossroads,caught between a rock and a hard place and Cartoonist Gado expressed what he is going through through this cartoon

Bishop TD Jakes Apologizes to Kenyans

American mega-pastor, Bishop TD Jakes (Thomas Dexter “T. D.” Jakes, Sr.), rubbed Kenyans the wrong way when he said “And the natives all over Kenya drink water because of this ministry!” during a sermon he was delivering at the Potter’s House (his non-denominational megachurch).

The comment was seen as an exaggeration of his work in Kenya and rubbed off some Kenyans (especially KOT) the wrong way. In their usual style, the KOT launched an attack on the pastor demanding an apology and retraction of the statement.

The pastor has however apologised for remarks he made. Here’s that;

An attempt in last Sunday’s sermon to distinguish myself from an American television program portraying preachers in a manner that I found unseemly has caused some offense in Kenya. For that I apologize.

My intent was to show the extensive humanitarian efforts by TD Jakes Ministries through its MegaCARE arm as a means of further distinguishing this organization from the TV program’s exclusive focus on the personal material wealth of the individual ministers over the works of the Gospel.

The attempt was to highlight one well and one hospital wing in Kenya as one example of this ministry’s worldwide efforts. It was by no means meant to take responsibility for an entire nation or to minimize the contributions of its people.

My focus has always been about the mission of helping hurting people in every circumstance of life, anywhere in the world.

The extemporaneous comments when taken out of context convey a meaning far from the intent of my heart. I meant only to communicate to my constituents that my love is for people as demonstrated through years of practical ministry.

The fact that these heart-felt words have been taken to mean anything other than their original intent deeply saddens me.

I love Kenya and the entire continent of Africa. I am proud of its efforts and grateful to have had an opportunity to minister to its people on numerous occasions.

I trust that this explanation will end this apparent misunderstanding.

In His service,
Bishop Jakes

 

Find Out Why T.D Jakes Got Roasted By Kenyans On Twitter

Yesterday late in the afternoon, the internets went crazy with Kenyans in twitter tearing into American televangelist Bishop T.D Jakes. And why were Kenyans angry at the man? Well, he claimed that all the water “Kenyan natives” drink is due to his mission.

Yep. in a bid to raise funds for whatever project he wanted his Ministry to get involved in, the “man of God” decided poverty porn was the way to go. What irks me is the fact that I hear alot of Americans of African heritage complain about the racism they receive yet they are some of the biggest and worst purveyors of ignorance.

T.D Jakes decided that the best way to raise funds was to insult Kenyans by not only alluding to our “savagery” but to our lack of means to help ourselves. Apparently the only hospital in Kenya is also thanks to the work he and his ministry have done.

Blogger & Activist Roy Ogolla Sets the Record Straight on Claims That He Extorted Ksh2M from Mike Sonko Over the Nude Photos (PART II)

Here the second part of Roy’s response to the allegation that he extorted KSh2M from Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko;

#FACT 1. Kenn Okaka is my business associate,  we, together with others, run a magazine “Intouch Mtaani” together and is the one whoi formally introduced me to Mike Sonko, who gave us 150,000/- to start the magazine project.

#FACT 2. Kenn Okaka has been concerned from the word go on the happenings and has tried to have both me and Sonko sit down and solve this matter coz he (Kenn) believes that we are stronger together.

#FACT 3. In my communication with Kenn Okaka, I have insisted that I would only meet Sonko in the presence of Shebesh, because we are all mutual friends and she is the reason why I got involved in this saga coz I stood to defend her.

#FACT 4. In the communication with Kenn Okaka, at no particular moment have we discussed money, coz whatever I did, was never informed by money.

Therefore, if Kenn Okaka asked Sonko to “prepare 300,00/= for cleaning up the mess”, that was their own arrangement that does not include me coz I was not and have not been part of such deliberation.

It is however interesting to note that the person who came up with the extortion story online is the same Ken Odera, who wrote the story on Kenya Today blog. I wouldn’t want to speculate his intentions but if it has to do with my skipping his interview invites for Radio Jambo, I probably will have to say that it’s extremely immature of him.

The FACTS are clear, the recording are available— The person (s) who tried to get money, whatever the amount, have been arrested- Sonko said so. They were arrested as early as last week. I want to believe that they have been arraigned in court to answer to the charges, which begs the question— If they acted on my behalf, why haven’t I been summoned for questioning or worse still been arraigned in court?

So, as these gossip- I call them gossip coz in all the blogs the story appears, it is under the GOSSIP PANEL– fly by, I want to reiterate my earlier assertions, Mike Sonko has been involved in more than a million scandals since he rose to public limelight, never before has he worked so tirelessly to “set the record” straight like he has done in this. I maintain my stand that it is high time Sonko grew up. He needs to come off his pubescent excitement and realize sooner rather than later that he is a member of the honourable house of Senate. The constitution is very clear on the conduct of public office holders and it’s imperative of Sonko to go back to his Constitution chapter six and re-read it.

As long as he continues to act like a goat on heat or a pig experiencing orgasm, I will stand for what I believe is right and honour my obligation as a citizen to continue holding him to account for his actions as long as he remains to carry the name, Senator- Nairobi County.

May I also take the earliest opportunity to state that I have no personal problem with Sonko, never had, never will. I hold him in high regard having come thru for us when we rolled out Intouch Mtaani but I will not allow my leaders, regardless of what they have done for me personally or for others, to act in such juvenile manners and keep quite about it.

Here’s is my response, you can either choose to take it or continue believing the GOSSIP going around. I careless of what you will make out of it coz in the end of it all, I’m very clear on what I did, why I did it and why I WOULD DO IT AGAIN!

Kohadha Roy Ogolla.

A few years ago Chantelle a.k.a Winnie Wambui Naisula Ole Siameto was dared to rap by a friend,this dare led to the making of one of the most poular Kenyan song Toklezea.And soon enough Toklezea became the ‘it’ term that  was used by grown ups and children alike.

Earlier this year Chantelle tied the knot with Baby-Faced Jay Blessing and later revealed that she was born again.

The damsel  lost her mother at the tender age of 11 has grown up with boys who defended and encouraged her to be who she is today.Apart from her brothers other people played a crucial role in her upbringing.

Blogger & Activist Roy Ogolla Sets the Record Straight on Claims That He Extorted Ksh2M from Mike Sonko Over the Nude Photos

This Sonko – Shebesh melodrama wouldn’t just die, would it? Anyhow, the whole thing has now taken a whole new direction. Earlier this week, well-known blogger, actor and activist, Roy Kohadha Ogolla, admitted to posting one of the scandalous photos of the Nairobi Senator and his Women Rep. counterpart.

A couple of days later, it emerges that Roy allegedly tried to extort KSh2M from the flamboyant senator to “make the photos disappear”. And now fresh from the campaign trail in Siaya, Roy has been bombarded by all these and typical of him he has decided to clear the air of the same.

I have been away for close to 48 hours now and on my way back, I find lots of stories flying all over the blogs over an “extortion” claims by one Mike Mbuvi Sonko.

I beg to ask the question, ‘JUST HOW MUCH MONEY DID I EXTORT FROM MIKE SONKO’.

To some dimwits, this might sound like acceptance of liability but to the few mental blessed ones, it’s more sarcasm than anything.

I ask this question because there are three different versions of the same, all accredited to Sonko. a) 2 Million, b)1 Million and c) 300,000.

On Thursday 10th October, on a radio interview onRadio Maisha (Listen to the recorded version here) with Jalang’o and Mwashumbe, Sonko played TWO telephone recordings— one from me and another from some anonymous person, unknown to both himself and myself.

Sonko categorically started that “some guy from river road called him and requested 2 million shillings”. In the recording, Sonko is heard negotiating with the said extortionist noting that he could manage 500,000/= and that the guy should go collect it from his office. He went ahead to say that the guy had since been arrested. NOWHERE DID HE SAY THAT ROY WAS AN ACCOMPLICE. #FACT.

Fast forward to Monday 14th, on the same radio station, hosted by Jalang’o and Alex, Sonko played the same recordings making the same extortion claims without mentioning my name in the said web of people who tried to get money from him.

He however read various text message communication between me and him as well as between myself and Hon. Shebesh. What he failed to do was read his own messages.

The most published message of them all is this “Tulia mhesh. Ulimess, kubali na useme ukweli. Ongea na Okaka akushow vile tunaeza maliza hii maneno. I don’t fight losing battles too mostly online. Nitafute tuongee kama maboy…”

Well, it takes a real dolt not to see the tonnage on this message and realize that it is a reply to something.

I confirm sending this message to Sonko on Wednesday 9th at about 7.40 pm. This was a response text to an earlier text sent by Mike Sonko “You Roy Ogolla I see you are determined to do an online battle with me. I don’t fight loosing battles. Sonko”sent on the same day at 7.36 pm.

My message was followed by the phone conversation that Sonko plays everywhere he goes. It has since been followed by quite a number of other communication both on text and on calls by ourselves and thru proxies.

THE BIRTH OF THE ‘EXTORTION’ CLAIM

On Wednesday 16th, I was invited for an interview on Radio Jambo by a mutual friend Ken Odero. I was psyched up to get to that booth and clear the issues surrounding this whole Sonko v Shebesh shit, but on the evening on Tuesday 15th, professional obligations came my way and I had to cancel the interview as early as 7.00 pm on Tuesday when it was scheduled for Wednesday at 10 am. I still managed to have a short phone interview, where some nasty words flew… Sonko was live in studio and this irked him.

So, after playing his recordings and reading the texts, Sonko still did not tie me down to any extortion but made a claim that Kenn Okaka, a close friend to both of us, had told him (Sonko) “to prepare 300,000/= to help in clearing the mess“. 

 

And the seething goes on in 2nd part…

Is Size 8 Pregnant? Find Out Here

Last Friday, it finally emerged that Gospel singer Size 8 was a few weeks old into her marriage to award-winning Gospel deejay, DJ Mo. However, what Size 8 failed to explain is why she ‘sprinted’ into marriage life.

And so, as is the norm, the blogosphere was rife with all manner of speculations that tried to elucidate why the “Moto” singer jumped the broom. A section of gossip blogs claimed that Size 8 is heavy with Mo’s baby hence the urgency to get a ring on it.

However, this morning Size 8 broke her silence over the issue and clarified that she’s not preggers.

“Am not pregnant and not any time soon -officially from me ->blessed Friday friends”

Now you know…

Meanwhile, here’s her latest Gospel single;

Blogger Roy Kohadha Allegedly Attempted To Extort 2 Million Shillings From Sonko!

The circus of the absurd involving the pictures that allegedly expose Nairobi Senator Sonko in bed with Nairobi Women’s Rep Rachel Shebesh is far from done. And rather than losing steam, it seems to be snowballing and morphing into some weird scandal monster.

And now, it is being alleged that Roy Kohadha attempted to extort monies from Sonko to the tune of 2million shillings. Do I believe this to be true? Well, Uncle Chim Tuna uncharacteristicaqlly -who am I kidding! I stick my neck out with my opinions quite alot. No, I don’t believe this at all.

Not that human beings aren’t capable of this and more, it’s just that the way my colleague Jeff regards Roy, I doubt this could be true.

It is being alleged that a text was sent to Sonko from Roy’s line that read:

“Tulia mhesh. Ulimess, kubali na useme ukweli ongea na okaka akushow vile tunaeza maliza hii maneno. I don’t fight losing battles mostly online. Nitafute tuongee kama maboy…”

 

Well, as Miss Mandi Once said to me, photos or nothing! but what do you think? Did Roy Kohadha really attempt to extort monies from Sonko?

Uncle Chim Tuna’s Brutal Response To Hot 96 Radio Presenter Cindy Ogana

Of late I have heard alot of media personalities discuss Ghafla. But while I respect Ciru Muriuki who made it an open conversation that involved members of my team, I have no respect for radio presenters who lack the spine to mention Ghafla by name before they attack me or Ghafla. And why was Cindy all about her diatribe and bile today morning (aside from her usual breakfast of haterade that is)? Well…

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHEMICAL_REACTION_FOR_HATE.jpgApparently Ghafla has been putting high school girls on the site and she is vehemently against that. Yeah, just like I am vehemently against the poaching of unicorns in Utopia for their magical farts. But more on none existent and ill informed qualms and pet peeves later. Cindy Ogana just like very many myopic individuals is angry that Ghafla has alot of “socialites” whose only claim to fame is getting naked on the internets.

My response to that? Please contact the nearest internet police division or the closest morality police department and file a report! Ghafla must be stopped! How dare Ghafla expose young women? How dare we give the Huddahs and Veras a platform? How dare we give Pendo a platform? I only brought up these 3 because they were mentioned by name.

I seem to be getting on her and everyone else last nerve. But truth is, your opinions are as irrelevant to how Ghafla is run as my opinions about the tribal humour you love. Talking about Luo this blah blah blah is as disgusting to me as our “socialites” are to you. Putting Vera Sidika down for her 450,000/- weave doesn’t make you seem like a more conscious woman, it makes you seem like a bitter Betty.
The one thing I will agree with her on however (even the devil is not without merit) is that this is a societal issue. And the issue from my perspective is “Why does sex sell?”

107559385_YouMad_xlarge.jpg
Ghafla is a business entity. Period. “Hii hapana shamba yako!” We do not “grow” things for your pleasure as you would if this were your “farm”. Ghafla is merely about a little principle called “Demand and Supply”. You might have heard about a small company called Google. They use that principle. You might also have heard of a small radio show called “Maina and King’ang’i In The Morning” that eclipses yours. That is the principle that made them such a phenomenon. “Sisi hapana tambua tastes za Cindy Ogana”.

If our content offends you, please click on a more pleasant article. we have many about celebs doing charitable deeds. We have many about brand building (which I sincerely recommend).
But do not think your soap box allows you the privilege of preaching to Nwasante himself-beloved of the Gods- how to please the 1.7 MILLION unique visitors (whom we love and cherish) who come to our site.
Do not confuse snobbery for superiority.

And the moral of the story Cindy is:

Top African Comedian Coming to Kenya

Apparently, Basketmouth dropped out of the Africa’s King of Comedy event after the initial postponement following the Westgate Incident.

One of Africa’s most acclaimed comedians will be performing on Eric Omondi’s African Kings of Comedy show on October 26th at the KICC.

Basketmouth was born Bright Okpocha in Ajegunle Lagos on September 14th, 1978, but he is a native of Abia State.

Basketmouth is also a musician and instrumentalist. At 13, he discovered he had drumming skills and pursued it as a hobby in church and in a band. He got into rapping three years later, performing with seven other members in the group, Da Psychopaths, before they split.

After a terrible start, he finally grew into his own in 2001 when he got his big break after meeting Ali Baba. He has, to date, performed alongside the likes of Joe, Boyz 2 Men, Sean Paul, Beyonce, Wyclef Jean, Dru Hill, Akon, Snoop Dogg, Ciara and Chris Brown among others.

Basketmouth has a B.Sc in Sociology and Anthropology from University of Benin. He is married to Elsie Uzoma, who he is raising two children with.

He will perform at the African Kings of Comedy as the most accomplished act alongside other African comedy heavyweights like fellow Nigerian Mandy, Uganda’s Patric Salvador, Ann Kaansime and Kotilda, Zimbabwe’s Carl Ncube and Eric Omondi.

Africa Kings of Comedy show will take place on 26th October between 6.00 p.m. and 11.00 p.m. Regular tickets to the show will retail at Kshs. 1,000 and Kshs. 2,000 for VIP tickets.

Photo Of The day: Teacher Wanjiku While She Was Still In High School

Teacher Wanjiku is a phenomenon! She made her entry into a male dominated industry (comedy) and managed to curve a niche for herself that has seen her brand become popular enough to warrant an ad campaign centered around her.

And seeing as this is the first time i am getting to do the photo of the day, I knew i had to get an awesome p[icture and I have not failed. i have managed to get a picture of Teacher Wanjiku before she became a teacher, actually, she was on the complete other end of the spectrum. She was a student.

And without further ado, I present to you:

 

 

Glad to see she grew into her eyes. Ugly duckling syndrome maybe?

 

Jaguar Saves the Day As He Negotiates With Dandora Dumpsite Gangs to Surrender Guns (PHOTOS)

We all know Jaguar as one of the most decorated celebs but also philanthropic in equal measure. However, most recently the ‘Kipepeo’ hit-maker added another feather to sombrero; that of an arbitrator.

Wednesday, national TVs aired the shocking story of how armed youth of Dandora and Korogocho exchanged fire when disagreement arose over the control of the sprawling Dandora dumpsite. The police were immediately put on high alert and ordered to bring the culprits to book.

And then something out of the ordinary happened. One of the boys involved in the shoot out called up Jaguar and begged him to speak to Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko and tell him that they are ready to surrender their weapons on the promise that they won’t be victimized.

So Jaguar and Sonko organized a meeting with Nairobi PPO Benson Kibue and brought him up to speed with that. The Police boss agreed to the deal and that’s when peace brokering started.

Jaguar and Sonko met one of the feuding groups at Jam Rescue in Buru Buru who agreed to surrender their weapons to the authorities. They immediately left for Kinyago Police Station in Dandora where they gave up their arms in presence of Jaguar, Sonko, the Nairobi PPO, Buru Buru OCPD, Starehe OCPD Samuel Anampiu and Kinyago Police Station OCS as well as the residents of the area.

The members of one of the gangs that have been fighting for control of the dump site surrendered 2 guns and over 100 knives. The weapons were used by the gan members to protect their jurisdictions.

Jaguar and Sonko then met the other group at the Senator’s office where they vowed to co-exist in peace. They were then handed a KSh100,000 cheque to set up alternative businesses.

Contacted, Jaguar said he believes in second chances and everyone deserves a second chance. He added, “Thank God, that was able to save some lives”.

Here are photos from the negotiation;

When It Comes To balling, DJ JonRabar of homeboyz Does It With Class and Subtlety. Find Out What He And Jay-Z Have In Common

I like a man that understands social capital. To me, that shows a level of maturity especially in the entertainment industry. And the men that best exemplify this are Shaffie Weru, Jaguar, Kunguru, Daddy Owen, Jimmy Gait and Prezzo. These are the men I feel best grasp how intricately woven branding and social capital are.

To understand what i am talking about, kindly Google social capital. But it is basically socioeconomic benefits human beings derive from carrying a certain image. And just as a tip, as my rather classy friends and colleagues Fox and Jeff Omondi will tell you, the most important subtle ways for a man to exude class is through the quality of his shoes, belt and watch but one is often forgotten; your cologne.

John Rabar

And DJ John Rabar understands this and has decided to stop playing in the D-League and start speaking Swaghili like Kanye. He got himself a nice bottle of Tom Ford cologne. That costs 226U$D thank you very much! And that is on Amazon.com people!

If a man buyeth a cologne worth 200$, that man is a man of substanceth! Why am i struggling to speak Shakespeareth? because that is what posh people do.

Critics Gush Over IMAX’s Latest Release, Gravity

With a 98% rating, Gravity is definitely 2013’s best reviewed film so far.

The thriller makes its East African debut this Friday, 18th October at the IMAX XX Century on Mama Ngina Street.

Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, the film chronicles the experience of two astronauts on a routine spacewalk before a disaster strikes that leaves them stranded and floating away into space.

To call Gravity simply a sci-fi film doesn’t do it justice at all because it is so much more. The story is as simple as can be but more effective and handled more skillfully than most films could ever dream of. A medical engineer and an astronaut work together to survive after an accident leaves them floating in space. Gravity is a classic in every sense of the word and is destined to rightfully earn the label of being one of the greatest films of a generation and will rightly be on Best Film Of All Time lists for years to come.” — Simon Thompson, Huffington Post

The idea of filming Gravity in 3D is more than a mere gimmick. This film reveals imaginative use of the technology to elevate its thriller quotient, duly propped by the most stunning sci-fi camerawork you would have seen in a long time.” — Vinayak Chakravorty, India Today

Gravity is not a film of ideas, like Kubrick’s techno-mystical 2001, but it’s an overwhelming physical experience, a challenge to the senses that engages every kind of dread. There’s strong pleasure in it, too; the movie is an adventure story in which each clumsy movement of mass and bodies startles.” — David Denby, The New Yorker

As the film unfolds and if you jolt yourself out off the captivating narrative you will realise that you are 17 minutes into the film and you have been watching a single take so brilliantly orchestrated that for a moment you wouldn’t be wrong in saying that this is the greatest choreography of actors, camera, lightning, camerawork, VFX.” — Suparn Verma, Bollywood director

The film is a visual triumph even if its storytelling is less than sure-footed. The opening scenes have a mesmerizing, abstract beauty.” — Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent

They spin through empty space, and so does the camera, in a series of moves so intricate and yet so natural that only after you leave the cinema do you realise the feats of visual choreography involved. Bullock is the undoubted star and is seriously good here, giving Stone an inner steeliness that only the very deepest pangs of despair can unsheathe.” — Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

Gravity starts showing on IMAX on Friday, 18th October and will continue its run for the next couple of weeks.

Celeb Look Alike: Rihanna & BBA Winner Dillish Matthews

The last time I did a celeb look alike it backfired miserably and I vowed to myself that I’m not touching that section again, ever. But my conscientious colleague, Sue, had something else in mind. Thanks to her stalking she stumbled upon a photo of identical-looking celebrities and thought I should give it a try.

So here we go. They say everyone has a doppelganger out there, and the stars are no exception! We’ve spotted some spooky similarities between Rihanna and BBA – The Chase winner Dillish Matthews. Check out these two famous faces and prepare to do a double take;

Kenya’s Most Talented & Performing Artist Faults Standard Group over Kidero – Shebesh Saga Story

Wednesday in their weekly issue of the Eve Woman’s World, the Standard Group published a story in which it sought to counsel Nairobi Governor, Evans Kidero, on how to win back women after the infamous ‘Gubernatorial Slap’.

The article’s tone was feminist and strongly castigated Dr. Kidero for the incident and gave his side of the story zero chance. Anyhow, Kenya’s most authentic, talented and hottest performing musician, Makadem the OhanglaMan, has come to defend the Governor and told off Standard Media for taking sides.

Here’s his opinion;

 

“How come sonko vis shebesh did not carry an equal weight on gender violence as kidero vis shebesh yet in the former shebesh was not just slapped she was beaten real bad and her nude sexual fotos exposed.

Is judgement on VAW (Violence Against Women) selective and if yes well, why?

Someone tell me what’s going on.”

 

Makadem’s command on stage, charisma and powerful vocal delivery, spiced with satire has made many describe him as Kenya’s own Fela Kuti. He has successfully fused different genres of music from Kenya, Africa and the world with his native Luo Benga music.

Renowned ‘Nation’ Writer Hits Out At Pioneer Kenyan Musicians (Part II)

John Muchiri continues with his ‘wise counsel’ on Kenyan artistes. Here’s that;

Sad because I don’t hear Kenya Nite in Lagos, or our Kenyan artistes performing there. Only a few up-comers in the industry have managed to cause some stir in the continental stage. Until their recent controversial break-up, Camp Mullah has been representing Kenya outside East Africa. Sauti Sol have been doing the same.

My personal opinion is that this industry needs dare-devils. Chameleone from Uganda has several arrest warrants in different countries, including Kenya, but with a dare-devil spirit, he still risks to perform in those countries. In Tanzania, AY, Diamond, C-Pwa, Mwana FA, spend over $20,000 just to shoot videos at the same level with the Nigerians, just to compete on the same level. P’Square, D’Banj, among others in Nigeria, pay over $500,000 to American artistes just to do one collabo.

Spend money to make money. Not just that, you have to take some risks as an artiste. If you fail, you won’t die, you will still rise up again and regain your glory. Then this thing of “I don’t want people to know what make of a car I drive to events” should completely stop. This is show-business…show us what you got and we rate you as fans is the rule of the game. That is the difference between this and other businesses in life. You buy a jet, your fans put you on the same level with P’Diddy. Sadly, that’s the truth about showbiz.

Redsan1.jpg

Redsan

A big shout out to the few artistes who have made a few risks in the industry…and am sure they have seen it pays off. Although Wyre had released ‘100-songs-within-one-month-‘, he has made risks to do collabos across the continent and internationally. He remains a relevant artiste mainly because of that.

Kenya and Kenyans are respected and listened to across the world. Let’s make the bold move.

Renowned ‘Nation’ Writer Hits Out At Pioneer Kenyan Musicians

‘Kenyan artistes are cowards’. Those are not my words but NMG’s Buzz Magazine editor, John Muchiri. According to the distinguished showbiz writer, Kenyan urban music pioneers are not utilizing their full potential in music.

Here are his thoughts;

Our very own established artistes have refused to man-up and take the world stage they already have on their table.

Up-coming artistes are overtaking them every day, just because they are afraid of making those tough and daring decisions that every other artiste in the world does to break out into the international market.

What am I talking about?

I’m talking about Redsan, Nameless, Amani, Wahu, Daddy Owen, Rufftone, Nonini, P-Unit, just to mention but a few.

If there are artistes who should now be rolling in the same league as HHP, D’Banj, P’Square, Lizha James, Gal Level, 2Face, among others, are the Kenyan artistes I have mentioned above, and many more.
All the artistes have been in the industry around the same time. But you cannot compare their success in the showbiz industry.

Nonini & Nameless

For instance, my good friend Nameless. I respect his hustle, and everything he has done to keep the Kenyan entertainment industry abuzz. But with a name out there across Africa, Nameless has confined himself within the Kenyan and East African market. He is not daring to venture outside.

I was in Lagos, Nigeria, early this year. In one of the clubs located at the city’s Victoria Islands, I had an opportunity to get to the DJ booth and requested for a Kenyan soon to be played. The first song the DJ played was ‘Sunshine’ by Nameless and Habida, before playing ‘Tokelezea’ by Shantell and Abbas and ‘She Say Dat’ by Wyre. Later on he played Camp Mullah and Sauti Sol.

What Nameless needs to know, if he doesn’t, is that he has a big name out there in different African countries. He won big during the 2009 MTVBase Africa Music Awards, MAMAs, held in Nairobi. Together with his wife Wahu, they were sold to the African market through the awards that were broadcast across over 40 countries in Africa.

Let’s all agree that as Nigerians came to Kenya during the MAMAs, they took all the glory, even though Kenya won the most important awards. Most Kenyans only knew few Nigerian artistes like P’Square and 2Face Idibia, before the awards in 2009 held at the Kasarani gymnasium. But right under their noses, Redsan, Nameless, Nonini, Wahu, Wyre, among others, watched D’Banj, MI, Naeto C and other Nigerian stars launch their names to the Kenyan market. And when they went back to Nigeria, they channeled all their next music releases to Kenya and East Africa. These same artistes have Naija Nite in Nairobi every year, not for Nigerians living in Kenya, but mainly for Kenyans who love Naija music. Sad.

 

And the rambling continues in part II

Ghafla Exclusive: Kunguru Acquires Yet Another German Machine (PHOTOS)

A few months ago,veteran singer Kunguru casually revealed that he drives with a million shillings in is boot. This made him a target for thieving bastards who rammed into his car as he was driving from a show ,but luckily he survived thanks to his German machine a BMW 318i.The singer has however decided to switch to yet another German machine.

A Mercedes E320 to be precise.A car that boasts of distinctive good looks, lots of standard safety equipment, available all-wheel drive, refined power-trains and rock-solid engineering.

With a V6 engine and a four-light front end it goes without a mention that the German monster is one of the upmarket cars on our roads.

Ratchet Photo Of Socialite Angel Maggy And Her Crew

Angel Maggie video vixen/rising socialite  has mastered the 6th law of power that states in brief ‘Court attention at all costs’.

And as Baltasar Gracian once said “Be ostentatious and be seen. . . . What is not seen is as though it did not exist. As an aspiring socialite courting the attention of the media is crucial for your survival in the entertainment scene.

Angel put an impressionable foot in the ‘social scene’ door by releasing/leaking a couple of tasteful nudes and it has been an upward climb ever since.

The socialite(I can practically hear some of you cringing at the terrible use of the term socialite) is always invited to all major events BBQ Live,sevens,Mingle,name it!

Angel was recently at the mingle and took a photo which some may describe as ratchet, that made her ratchet by association.Have a look
