Month: October 2014

Sabina has been axed. Huddah was thrown out after a week. Teddy Muthusi was kicked out after 16 Minutes. And the others…ummm,Who are they again?? Well,they were knocked out even before they could use the Big Brother House urinals.

Big Brother is tricky business. Slimy,sneaky,tricky business. To win,it appears that You must be very astute…And smart..and calculating…and strategic…and captivating…and intriguing and alluring and infatuating.

Since its inception,it appears that Kenyans are never really made for Big Brother. Either we are a tad too boring,too lethargic…Or we just never really pick the right people to represent us as the Housemates. Or maybe,We actually do present very interesting characters but Africa never really sways towards them.

But Wait…Kenya  produced Prezzo,Right?? Right. Great. And there is never a dull moment in Prezzo’s life. He is the King Of Bling,duh??? Any King is bound to draw attention,capture crowds and command an audience. And Sir Prezzo does a seamless job when it comes to that.

Prezzo is the epitome of FASCINATING. You can watch Prezzo take a dump and still find something interesting about it. Prezzo is The Ultimate Entertainer. And with a life riddled with as many Women and testosterone as Prezzo’s is,Well,Welcome to Hollywood.

Tha Entertainer Per Excellence just walked into tha Building. And,That’s How Kenya found herself in the BBA Finals. Because of King Jackson Makini.

So which other Kenyan Celebrities have the kind of allure,charm,glamor and enchantment that Prezzo possesses?? Well,Lets take a look.

1.Shaffie Weru.

Shaffie is the Prezzo of Radio. And of the Media. No other Male Radio personality is as scandalous and attention-pulling and captivating as King Shaffie. Famous for his wild,hedonistic parties,feral womanizing,carefree lifestyle,penchant for the high life and brash attitude Shaffie would be just the ticket we needed to catapult us to BBA stardom. Hey,BBA honchos,give Shaffie a chance!

2. Ian Mugoya.

He’s smooth. Smooth on TV…Smooth with the ladies…smooth with the fashion and smooth at the looks game. Ian would surely ensnare the ladies…with his bedeviling looks and enchanting female-captivating skills. Africa would vote for Ian. And if not Africa,atleast the African Ladies. And that’s enough.

3. Kalekye Mumo.

She can be rambunctious…And loud and hilarious and dramatic. Doesn’t Africa LOOOOVE such characters?? Africa does. Africa would also save Kalekye Mumo for her body…And we all know Kalekye HAS A BODY. A well-documented body. A thick,enticing body. The exact type that Africa Loves….Thick,African and Phat. Kalekye would surely win the male vote. Oh,plus she can sing! Yeaaaaaaaay! Added advantage.

4. Mike Sonko.

I don’t need to say why. I don’t need. You all know why. Even the cockroaches in Bifwoli Wakoli’s bed know why. Mike Sonko would win the $3000,000 cash prize and distribute it all to the Big Brother organizers. Biggie would get 40 bob Only tho. Haha.

5. STL

Bad Girl Number One. Girl who isn’t afraid of her roots…Girl who isn’t afraid of her vernacular. Girl who loves rockin’ African prints…Girl who can actually rap. And drop some real sick bars. Girl who cut her hair short. And Girl who loves her whiskey. Reaaaaallly Loooooves her Whiskey. You can never go wrong with STL. Uh-Uh,No. Bad Girl will bring tha dollar$$ home. And make it rain on Kimathi Street.

6.Angeline Wanjeri.

Nigeria loves loudmouthed Girls. Actually,Nigeria is populated with a crippling populace of the noisiest Women Africa ever produced. And we all know that if Nigeria loves You,Africa Loves You. And,ummmm,If Nigeria votes for You,well,You are as good as a winner. I mean,Nigeria’s population is close to 16 Billion. Without counting women and children. And wannabe Movie stars.

7. Anne Kansiime.

Wait…where does Kansiime come from?? Kenya?? Uganda?? Youtube?? I get confused here….

8. Sanaipei Tande.

A woman who has no qualms getting so sensuously semi-nude and amorous in a steamy Music Video is the stuff that BBA is made of. Earlier this Year,Sanaipei blessed us with what I would call accurate fap material; A Music video that depicts her in various stages of undress…that artfully shows her erotic legs…A video that leads her into her bathtub…to show us how she gets down..And lathers that soap allover her titillating self. Surely,If a 3-Minute video could work sooooo much wonders among Kenyan Men,Imagine how 90 days of being in a voyeuristic house would do to ALL AFRICAN MEN. Sana would hog all the Male votes. With those legs….aiiiiiii,She has to!

9. Ephy Saint.

Actor,Model and nudist. Concentrate on the Nudist part. But wait,I am not really sure that would work for him. Africa hates Nudity. But that Body??? Wouldn’t the ladies TOOOOOOTALLY LOVE it?? Hmmmm,I am seriously Not sure how this guy ended up here. Sorry.

10. Victoria Kimani

Miss Vicky is already a huuge name all across Africa. Heck,she even gets name-dropped by top Nigerian singers. And Trust Me,If You are known by the Big Boys of Naija,You are BIG! Bamboo’s little sister is a shocker…From her blue hair to her cultivatedly embellished eyes to her tasteful figure to her fastidious buxom and her scintillating voice,Victoria Kimani would be a sure bet. She’d slay the Men with her absolute sexiness…And win the women with her genuine sweetness. And amiable nature. Give a girl a chance now-o! Go,Vicky,Go!

Eeeeeeeeeeer,that was MY LIST. You had a better one?? Go ahead,share it!

Naivasha Crayfish Camp was the place to be over the long weekend.

There was a pool party thrown that saw the attendance of A List celebrities, party animals and of course the Ghafla crew.
Daniel Peter better known as at the adorable Arthur in NTV’s hit show ‘Mali’ also graced the event and he had that extra special something for his fans: Mullah.

Here is Daniel making it rain:

I am a socialite par excellence, there is no other socialite with guts that could match up mine, i don’t do drugs i want Kenyans to understand that one can be a socialite and not indulge in drugs….” Socialite Freydah

 When i run her story last week, it bore the gory details of her trysts with renown gospel artistes, whom she was exposing as fake and poserish, (posing as holier than thou, yet reeking of evil and filth) Hers was a harrowing account of how one Top artist raped her infecting her with Herpes, Jilted as  she was  she decided to expose everyone that she had had sex with, she  sent me an email with names of the Artists she had erstwhile had flings with. 

Her rendition was was embellished with details. I’m still doing a follow up on the same…

she is the next person from Vanessa Chettle who has admitted that she is Bi-sexual…and You haven’t seen anything about her yet.. 

Plagiarism is a mal-practice that is highly discouraged in the world and can call for serious legal actions against the offender.

This is why the Daily Nation, Nation Media’s newspaper and which is the most circulated newspaper in the region, has moved quickly to table a detailed apology after using a plagiarised photo which it claimed was taken in some village in the Rift Valley.

In the photo two lambs are captured suckling from a cow, enjoying the rarest of the meals.

This caused massive outrage from the public that triggered the Daily Nation to apologise for the same.

Here is the apology:

“The Daily Nation issue of Thursday, October 23, 2014, published a picture — on Page 1 in the final edition and in the inside pages in earlier editions — of two lambs suckling a cow.

The picture was purportedly taken the previous day at a farm in Chepkeche village of Uasin Gishu County.

We have since learnt that the picture, taken in New Zealand, was ‘lifted’ from the Internet and submitted to the Daily Nation. Nation Media Group enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy to plagiarism, and therefore appropriate administrative action has been taken against those involved.

We take this early opportunity to apologise to the actual owner of the photo, whom we commend for capturing a most unusual, appealing and heartwarming image. We are sorry for having misled our readers and assure them of improved vigilance to avoid recurrence of such errors.”

This is not the first time the Daily Nation is making such blunders. In 2013, sensitive pictures of the Westgate Mall victims were published in the front page of the nation, leading to Kenyans raging with anger.

The woman who cause jitters on the dominant male species has taken twitter by storm following the daring words she was uttering during the power interview with Jeff Koinange on KTN.

She always speaks with a lot of audacity and the vigor in her voice will tell you she means business when she spits her words. If you think Caroline Mutoko is an alpha lady then there is no better word to describe Orie Rogo Manduli; she authoritatively told Jeff that women should discipline their rogue husbands and also revealed that she was once a land lady to Uganda’s president Yuweri Museveni.

The dynamism in Orie’s utterances is the one thing that made Kenyans on twitter to talk a lot about her a thing that has made her be amongst twitter’s top ten trending topics. Check out some interesting comments that guys posted:

October being a month of breast cancer awareness, many people have come up with their own version of how well one can detect cancer early enough to treat it but one Chris Kirubi thought out of the box to come up with his own unique strategy.

While Kalekye Mumo was thinking of going topless to raise breast cancer awareness, billionaire Chris Kirubi took a different approach to raise awareness about breast cancer. “A breast is just part of the body and men love feeling the breast of their partners so if doing what they feel naturally pleasurable to do, why can they assist you to save your life if they care. This is not about sex, this is about the welfare of the human being” Chris Kirubi explained to Sharon Mundia as he defended his opinion as why men should be checking ladies breast.

So DJ CK believes there can be pleasure for a good purpose; if only men can do it to prevent breast cancer then sure CK’s strategy will work but men being men, it is hard to tell if that approach can ever materialize. Anyway check out the video here:

Could we crown her the queen of entertainment in Kenya? I think yes. I’m referring to sassy radio queen Angwenyi who holds the crown as the most sought after female personality by corporates.

She has tried both radio and TV and hacked it, comfortably. Do you remember her appearing on “Idols” as a judge? Do you remember Ladies First? Those were programs that definitely kept us glued to our TV screens.

She is bound to make a comeback, this time on the all new enthralling Maisha Magic in a show called The Hot Seat. It is bound to air every Monday from 11.30PM with repeats on Tuesday from 3.30PM.

It is basically a show that puts Kenya’s entertainment industry on the spot by profiling all Kenyan celebs drawn from every sector. And you and I know she’s not afraid to get down to the Nitty gritties so this is definitely a must watch.

Humans have various ways of sending off their dead. Some like to do it with flamboyance that may include wild partying and feasting.

While others, prefer to send off their loved ones in a solemn, more chilled out way. Others however opt for stranger ways of sending off their dead, from leaving their dead out in the sun for the vultures to feast on to self mummification, the world has seen it all.

In Kenya, people are less dramatic when sending off their loved ones; it is usually a serious affair, where the dead are buried in a straight coffin or cremated. However a theatrical ritual in Luhya-land has left many mouths agape and has become fodder for internet trolls.

KTN highlighted a story where elderly man was buried while sitting down. This took place at Ikolomani, land of bull fighting.The interesting ritual was part of the traditions of the Angusu clan of the Idakho Luhya sub tribe where elders are buried sitting down as a sign of respect and for the dead to watch over his family. This ritual dates back to centuries ago where elders are buried in this way.

The advent of Christianity did not deter this sub-tribe from practicing this ritual with even saved Christians respecting this tradition.

Below is the clip where the 62 year old man was buried in an unconventional casket

Size 8 is part of the massively famous and super successful System Unit that is led by her husband DJ Mo.

She converted to a gospel artiste last year after years of pleasure-seeking and that is when her musical career really took off. Today Size 8 has one of the most recognizable voices in Gospel and if you walk in your hood, I bet you will hear young kids sing along to her ‘Mateke’

But before she was famous, Size 8 was very much your girl next door, but with red hair . Here is Size 8 back in her Calif Days alongside Ala-C and Kendi

American televangelist Pat Robertson has been  trending on Twitter  after getting rigorously roasted by the infamous KOT for his disapproving remarks about Kenya that include getting AIDS from Kenyan towels.

However not everyone is anti-Robertson. Farida ,Chakacha Queen turned Gospel singer even came out to defend him yesterday.

She is currently on her U.S.A tour and got to pose with the 700 Club Presenter and here are the photos:

Churchill and Teacher Wanjiku have always been like Lil Wayne & Drake or Bing Crosby & Frank Sinatra or even Barbara Walters & Oprah Winfrey.

Churchill was the mentor to teacher Wanjiku, the man who gave her wings to fly by providing a stage on which she could become great.

And Teacher Wanjiku really became great, booking shows, MCing at the flashiest events and even landing a money-spinning deal with Airtel. Teacher Wanjiku was the Comedian, the alpha, the numero Uno. But somewhere along the way, Teacher Wanjiku left the nest and started a new show on Citizen TV which unfortunately flopped, really badly.

And most of us wondered, what is next for Teacher Wanjiku? Would the prodigal daughter return home or would she disappear into thin air and become a distant memory? And most importantly would Churchill welcome the prodigal daughter with open arms after their alleged tiff after Wanjiku left the show.

We called up Churchill’s representative who informed us that contrary to popular belief, Churchill and Wanjiku had not separated in bad blood. Teacher Wanjiku had not even quit Churchill show, she had just taken a break and when she was ready to come back, Churchill would welcome her back just like Eric Omondi.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen ,if Teacher Wanjiku wants to hit our screens she can always go back to the Churchill show. And who knows? Her career could take of like Eric Omondi following his return to the Show.

Robert Alai has turned out to be that proverbial dog that struggled to give birth but ended up eating all its puppies. Or simply a hen that lays eggs and then ravages on them.

The controversial blogger has turned his tantrums on fellow bloggers, however, not all but those who advertised their blogs on newspapers, radio and Television.

According to Alai, such bloggers only serve to cheat the masses and therefore are not trustworthy as they should.

Alai alludes that a good blogger should give scoops and build themselves to have the liking of the masses.

This is what he posted on his twitter account:

Alai must have keenly observed what some bloggers are doing to gain fame and the liking of the masses. Alai himself is a renowned blogger in Kenya, who creates controversy because of the manner in which he approaches pertinent issues.

Do you agree with Alai that a good blogger should build themselves, not through advertisements but through what they give the masses?

Impersonation is not a new thing; in fact it is a habit that dates back to Biblical times when Jacob impersonated his brother Esau and nabbed his birthright .

However impersonating a celebrity on the internet is new and we have seen strangers pretend to be celebrities in order to hoodwink fans or just make money out of selling their page. It’s a lucrative business nowadays and that is why they are so many celebrity page hacks and fake celebrity pages!

Lulu Hassan is one of the victims of celebrity impersonation. There is a using her name has been sharing inspirational messages, promising people money and presents if they like her page  and the page is even  making money from advertising products.

The real Lulu Hassan has come out denouncing the page which already has over 23,000 likes and has urged her fans to be careful and unlike the page. Saying that ‘Tafadhali msihadaiwe huyu si mimi !!!!!’

Here is the said page:

Not much is known about Kenya’s most hyped socialite Vera Sidika but finally light has been illuminated on her family and now everyone will get to see them as well.

So Vera Sidika is married and has a kid as well! Mysteries about this girl never cease to amaze me. Anyway I can tell you that some people are very good at digging up secrets that others spent their precious time hiding; someone did their research and managed to leak a photo of Vera’s hubby and child and for sure her kid has a striking resemblance of her bleached skin.

What can you say about that wonderful family picture of father, mother and son? Ok, let us put this prank aside; the picture is a result of a well done photoshop by anonymous person (s). The photo is a manipulation of the previous picture that hit the social media a while ago when it was said Vera’s bleach had gone totally bad.

Guys just added the kid there and said it was Vera’s family but in reality Vera is still not married nor is she having a kid (not sure though). Anyway it was a well done teaser photo and just depicts how good people are when it comes to photoshop.

If you work in the online space, then you very know the importance of being verified on Facebook.

This is what separates the chaff from the wheat and makes you stand out, highly above the rest of the pack.

This is how you know that your hard work has paid off. Trust me, I work for Ghafla and I know the feeling.

So I find it in order to congratulate brighter Monday and give them a standing ovation for befitting this status.

With 217,380 likes and 211 visits, let me take this opportunity to welcome you to the big leagues and warn you it’s hard to maintain a reputation and hold it on your own while at the top.

You’ll be interacting with the likes of Safaricom, us, Caroline Mutoko amid other bigwigs.

The deadly Ebola virus is ravaging West African nations like it has never been seen before in the history of the world. It has grown to become one of the most scary, devastating situation of our time and effectively becoming a global disaster.

From Liberia to America, Ebola, unlike ethnic conflicts that define majority of African communities, has shaken everyone’s nerves. Its short incubation period and the manner in which it attacks victims makes it deadly than anything else.

But it seems some people are trying to make a name out of this deadly disease, oblivious of the irritation they cause.

From Kenya to the outside world, celebrities are enjoying making fun out of the Ebola disaster.

Ghafla Kenya looks at some of the celebrities who have in one way or the other made fun out of Ebola.

We start from our own. Nairobi senator, MIKE MBUVI SONKO is the latest celebrity and public figure in Kenya to make fun out of the deadly disease.

In one of his Facebook posts, Sonko posted that for the last two weeks he has been feeling unwell, probably because of what he believes is the Ebola he acquired from The Hague. Here is the post:

Within our boundaries still, an actress in one of the local comedy shows was heard making a joke about the Ebola disease. In the social comedy show programme, The Real House-Helps of Kawangware, aired on KTN, the actress was asked, “Uko serious?” and the answer was “Kama Ebola”.

Away from home, legendary Congolese singer Kofi Olomide has found himself on the wrong side of the law after he branded himself ‘Vieux Ebola’, a French term which translates to Old Ebola.

In short, Kofi Olomide calls himself Old Ebola, a word he has coined and is now using in advertisements for his shows.

Kofi Olomide

However, this landed him in trouble with the Congolese police who summoned him for questioning over the use of the term Ebola. The Congolese government felt that Olomide is fighting global efforts to eradicate Ebola.

The legendary singer was released after he agreed to pull down the advertisement which looked provocative.

Another American actor was seen making a joke out of the disease and he effectively coined the word Fearbola to explain the nature of the deadly virus.

Now these and many more are some of the situations in which celebrities have made fun out of Ebola.

However, it is now turning out to be very disgusting, appalling and uncalled for, to say the least. This is not the time to be making fun out of Ebola. It is time to stand with the victims of the virus. After all, no one is safe.
