Since disappearing from Churchill show, you are probably wondering where the comedian Eric Omondi was, well the mischievous Eric was up to some interesting things.

Well known for gigantic humps, Judy Anyango had something to offer comedian Eric Omondi. Just after Judy landed a few days ago from Tanzania, she was on a partying mood this past Saturday night and her escapade saw her having some really nice time with funny man Eric, squiring him really tight. Check out the photo;

We had announced earlier on that one of Citizen’s finest (in terms of brilliance and looks) Janet Mbugua was engaged.

This news was met with a lot of broken hearts especially from the men but the ladies were super excited. Janet however chose not to give any details about her fiancé. But thanks to a reliable source, we can now show you the man who has Janet Mbugua’s heart.

Here is her beau called Eddie Ndichu who was the former Regional Head of Digital Banking at Standard Chartered Bank.

I am tempted to say many people in the country actually love dating; NTV’s dating show #Tujuane had the most traction on Twitter between 3rd and 9th August and has been ranked number one.

Here are some other television show that were ranked this week:

Opps! Sorry number 10 was not revealed.

Lizz Njagah is without a doubt one of the hottest (both in looks and acting abilities) actresses we have in Kenya.

You have watched her make use of her acting skills on ‘Tinsel’ ‘Saints’ ’Makutano Junction’ and ‘House of Lungula’.

Liz has also won the best actress award in the London Greek Film Festival last year, for her performance in our Greek/Kenyan road movie “The Return of Lazarus” as well as the PAMSA award for Best Kenyan Actress of 2013.

Her husband’s CV is not shoddy either with Alex being a celebrated director with successful shows such as ‘In the Forest’ and award-winning movie ‘House of Lungula’

So how did this delightful people meet? Here is their story

I didn’t know Chipukeezy had it in him, the ability to viciously blast someone.

Do not be fooled by the small frame, wide smile and the jokes from Mlolongo he is a fierce! And not the Tyra Banks kind of fierce, the ‘will maul you ‘kind of ferocity.He went all ape-sh**t on her and Blaqy.

It all started when Chipukeezy started informing Caroline Mutoko of a video that has been trending for a while, Blaqy’s ‘Money Maker’.
He first  went off on Blaqy  whom he claims was lied to by his mum or someone else that he can sing .So he went to the bathroom while his voice  should be left to singing in the bathroom .He then emphasizes on Blaqy’s complexion calling him a  ‘very black man ’

Risper and Blaqy share a moment

He goes on to mercilessly describe Risper Faith as a girl who ‘goes nude for our attention and so that we can know she exists. He then goes ahead to describe her as a very confused girl, who has completely lost herself

The language of music is an international language, the only language that cuts across all divide and which one Jeff Koinage strongly belief can heal the blistering problem of ethnicity in the country.

If you did not catch a glimpse of last night’s Jeff Koinange live, worry not because I will give you a hiccup of what transpired. Reputedly many of you know Jeff as the Larry King of Africa (Larry is a renown international television host guru; for those of you who do not know him) as this guy has traversed the continent and interacted with leaders like no other person. Leave that alone, seemingly Jeff can also sing well, I mean not hip hop or blues but he is classical, country music is his thing.

Yester night, Jeff hosted Elvis Otieno a country music singer in his show; Elvis is a Kenyan who fell in love with country music a passion that drove him to be a country music singer. The pair sang country music together and they just rhymed so well that one could not but wonder whether they had did a rehearsal for the show. What a voice! Enough said, just check out this video for yourselves here:

Grief stricken Kenyans continue to mourn the death of Bob Odalo, the “Daily Nation” writer who passed away last week. 

He was a famed writer who reported from Machakos County. Bob passed away after falling ill in and being admitted to Mediheal Hospital, Nakuru.

Among those mourning him are his fellow colleagues from the Daily Nation and Governor Alfred Mutua who posted this on Facebook:

Rest in Peace veteran Nation journalist and friend Bob Odalo. No other writer understood Ukambani politics better than you. I will miss you.

Grief grips the hearts of ‘Nation Media Group’ employees following the demise of a long-serving writer, Bob Odalo.

Bob passed on last week at Mediheal Hospital in Nakuru after falling sick during a visit to his family.
Bob will be remembered by many for his impeccable coverage of the Kyanguli Fire about 13 years ago in which 59 students died.

The Nation editorial management announced his death by saying: “Bob distinguished himself as an aggressive, perceptive, insightful and dependable journalist. He had a wide network of contacts and effectively served the Lower Eastern region. He will be dearly missed by all his colleagues.”

Last night Citizen TV’s news anchor Anne Kiguta hosted cabinet secretary for Health Mr. James Macharia to discuss Ebola counter measures and this discussion has elicited a lot of reactions to gain a top spot among the most trending items on twitter.

Macharia’s stand to defend the move by national carrier not to abort flight to the affected West African nations is the one that is drawing a lot of people to air their frustrations. Macharia defends his stand arguing that Ethiopian Airways and Rwanda Air are still flying to West Africa so if Kenya Airways was to stop flying to West Africa, passengers would still slip into the Country through Adis Ababa or Kigali. He further insisted that a blanket ban on flight would not have a big outcome in curbing the spread of Ebola. The cabinet secretary also stated that the country was ranked by World Health Organization as a level 2 nation therefore the risk of Ebola was very minimal; he later revealed that the country was sending two doctors to Monrovia in Liberia and Free Town in Sierra Leone to assess the situation on the ground.

Well here is what really made people to talk on twitter; first thing first many people think the Cabinet secretary does not understand the meaning of the phrase ‘Prevention is better than cure’. They do not see the meaning of the national carrier to keep on flying to West Africa, accidentally slip the dead virus in the country then start grappling with the menace of Ebola. Actually the Cabinet secretary said in case of any incident of Ebola infection surfacing in the country; the government would administer Ebola experimental vaccine Zmapp to patients with acute symptoms of the Virus.

Check out Kiguta’s conversation with the cabinet secretary here:

A Standard Newspaper Journalist put pen to paper to describe Martha Karua and her political ambitions .

In an article titled ‘Our country needs no saving, but ‘Okoa’ Kenya will salvage Karua from the brink’ the writer Peter Kiamani wrote this about Martha after he met her at a breakfast party “…What I disliked the most was the grimace she flashed when she attempted to smile. It was painfully fake. But since politics is not a beauty pageant, or even keeping it real, I hoped Martha’s diminutive stature or inelegant smile would place no obstacle in her ascendancy to  the high office, which she made no secret was her next ambition.”

 He then goes on to rubbish her political career adding that her only home to make a apolitical comeback was through Cord’s Okoa Kenya Movement

Check out Martha’s reply below :

 You should be thanking God my appearance gave you something to write about !

Uh… Wait, what?

My exact sentiments about this story.

So, I just stumbled upon a story on Standard Digital about the Nairobi Senator’s daughters getting a reality show and I am confused. See, when I think of a reality TV show, I immediately think of ratchetness. Or ratchetry if you will seeing as neither of those words actually exist.

Anyway, word has it that the Senator’s children will have a reality show soon based on their lives. And to be honest, understanding the Tv show rating system as it is, I know for a fact that unless the show has some level of ratchetness, it’ll be a dud.

And that is why I do not understand this entire affair. Why would anyone choose to go that route if their parent is a politician. then again, this is Sonko so there aren’t that many shocks to be had here.

To all my haters,fans,friends and relatives prepare for the first ever reality SHOW from the Mbuvis….Coming soon!!! pic.twitter.com/W1sVsRCGCa

If you are a follower of Victoria Kiamani on Instagram, I am sure you have come across her well documented visit to the White House.

She took selfies before the White House and posed for photos with the likes of Buffalo Soulja, the legend himself Femi Kuti, AY, Dbanj, among others  while they were there.

Well according to Pulse, Victoria was not invited to the Us-African summit and made it to the US-African Summit only because she was posing as a Nigerian artiste.

Pulse goes further to claim that since Kenyan artistes were not invited by Uhuru to the Summit; she had decided to sneak in using her Nigerian Label, Chocolate City.

Victoria Kimani took to Social Media to respond to these embarrassing accusations ,This is what she posted:

ok so pick up Today’s Standard Newspaper …. The story is ALL over the place , with extremely incorrect information .. But it’s a fun

They are definitely Africa’s most fierce group on twitter; Kenyans On Twitter better known as #KOT is a force to reckon with, mess with them and surely you will have ten thousand reasons to quit twitter.

First thing off the trending topic #Ebola is raising much concern with KOT, reason being? The national carrier Kenya Airways has refused to halt its travel to the affected countries in West Africa. The carrier claims it is taking all the necessary precautions by screening all the travelers from the West African states to make sure Ebola does not sip into the country. On the other hand, KOT thinks the steps taken by the carrier are purely for public relation purposes.

Look at it this way, nearly all developed countries which have far better sophisticated medical accessories have halted their travel to the affected West African states, but a national carrier of a country that is still ranked as a developing nation says it has mechanism to curb the spread of Ebola, I mean guys KOT has a thing to justify their concern.

Now this is where KTN’s news anchor Linda Oguttu comes in, apparently she does not like hearing all the noise being drummed by the bandwagon, she is more inclined to giving her fact according to what the World Health Organisation says. Linda differs with KOT and here is her argument on her twitter post:

#KOT @motondi_victor @lindahoguttu Air travel, even from #Ebola-affected countries, is low-risk for Ebola transmission — WHO (@WHO)

For a long time now, Nyambane has been on the Ghafla radar for all the wrong reasons. So much so, that even while serving the people in the heartland of the Kisii people, he was informed about it and he tried to reach us. And we did indeed have a chat. You see the problem with reaching such important people is that they design their schedule such that you cannot reach them unless they want to reach you.

But away from the background to our relationship with Nyambane and now to the story at hand; So it is rumoured that Nyambane landed at the County Government headquarters in what used to be referred to as the Nairobi City Council (I refuse to even hint at it’s less classy, more tangible alternative name that rhymes with sheet).

And when he arrived there, he saw his office and wasn’t impressed at all. So he had all his subordinates squished together to create room for himself. But that is actually a good thing, forward thinking -they are now conserving heat in this cold bleak weather. Plus now that they are in each other’s space, they are getting better acquainted.

But I called up the comedian cum government bureaucrat cum entrepreneur up to get his side of the coin and this what he had to say to me:

“First off, what’s your name again? (Uncle Chim Tuna) Okey, Uncle Chim Tuna, let’s get this right, it’s the County Government, not the County Council.

Even if I were to change my bulb, some people would like it, some would not. There will always be people to complain about any change. And that is a story in public domain, I would rather talk about something more important. Something geared to keeping Nairobians informed because I can work anywhere. I don’t need 15metres to work.”

There in lies the science behind the title to the article. Is this a man focused on delivering -a goal oriented man who might have unwittingly stepped on his subordinates toes or is this a megalomaniac talking?

Personally, I do not mind him. Having spoken to him, he strikes me as a kindred spirit, a douche.

Risper Faith was thrust into fame by her enviable derriere and if the hits on ‘Money Maker’ are anything to go by, Risper will not be leaving the limelight anytime soon.

In photos that we got from one of the people involved in the money-maker project , Risper  showed off her most famous asset and looked more bootylicious than ever in a barely there  bikini and red swimsuit!

Well before you even think of shouting at me or anything of the sort, let me enlighten you just a little bit, at least socialite do not steal, they earn their money.

Well if you hate socialites with vigor, then I have no idea of how much you would love or hate an armed robber or a murderer. This comparison may look rather awkward but I just have to catch your attention first. The simple definition of a socialite is any person who is well known in fashionable society and is fond of social activities and entertainment. Underline fashionable, I guess this is where it catches many people off. Unfashionable people in society will not like socialites.

The crap that really generates hate for socialites is the explicit pictures and videos they keep flooding the social media with. One thing about social media I like is that no one really forces you to be their friend(s), like their page(s), follow them, comment or share their posts; get that right. For instance, when socialites upload explicit material and it goes viral over the media, I really wonder who are these people that get their hands on such kind of material(s) yet in the open, condemnation is usually the order.

Socialites do not rob anyone; the people just make them earn their living. Look at this scenario for instance; if any of the renowned socialites like Vera Sidika, Huddah Monroe, Risper Faith, Corazon Kwamboka, Venessa Chettle, Pendo among others get to upload a ‘nasty’ stuff, then the whole social media get rejuvenated and people finally get to talk. If you are a ghafla enthusiast you can definitely tell the number of times the stories related to socialites have topped the list of stories with the most hits. The bottom line; people definitely want to hear a thing or so about socialites. They MOSTLY make their money by exposing their body. Just amazing even Vera Sidika has a mobile application about her.

Love or hate them, just do not blame the social media, if there is a demand for infotainment, we simply got you covered in a morally conscious manner.
