Miss World Kenya Ida Ngumah recently returned from London from the Miss World Finals.

She may have not worn the crown but won the beauty with a purpose title which earned her charity a whopping 900,000 shillings.And for this she received a welcome fit for a superstar.

Here is how Idah was received at JKIA

 

 

And her entourage back home that included police cars to Machakoas county

 

 

 

 

Churchill finally decided to share the video that made all tongues talking; you will be exhilarated the moment you watch it in case you missed it.

By now, you probably know the version of Churchill Show you watch on NTV is an edited one; “unwanted” parts are usually chopped off to make sure the content adheres to the laid down rules of mainstream broadcasting.

Funnyman, Salvador, cracked a super hilarious “adult” joke that couldn’t make it on NTV; it was a practical joke that depicted a couple making out. It was the dopiest joke of the night but unfortunately you couldn’t watch it on your screens.

Just in case you didn’t watch Salvador’s explicit video, check it here:

Senator Johnson Muthama and his CORD noisemakers,apparently,stormed Parliament early this afternoon in a bid to cause a melee and scuttle the Security Bill Process. Muthama has never quite lost a battle. But today,the King has faced the MUSIC.

(NB:This story is still developing. More photos and details coming up shortly)

DO NOT MESS WITH KANSIIME should be changed to DO NOT MESS with Francis Ole Sekuda. While causing trouble at Parliament earlier today,CORD Senator Johnson Muthama and his CORD crew clashed violently with the Jubliee MPs. And Muthama,being the leader of the trouble-making troupe,found himself in a rather tight spot after receiving a super beating from the irked Kajiado Central MP,Francis Ole Sekuda.

Muthama had his clothes torn,his skin scratched,his leg injured and his trouser ripped from the buttocks down.

Ouch. Shit just got real.

 

                                                                                                           A beaten up Muthama.   

                                       Kajiado Central MP,Francis Sekuda and Former Security CS,Ole Lenku.

Also caught up in the melee is one Simba Arati,Dagortetti North Mp(CORD) who,immediately after the Parliamentary fracas,rushed to hospital to have his finger fixed after it survived a chop from the irate Jubilee members. Arati also took to Social Media to share a photo of himself in hospital,zeroing in on the injured thumb. Claiming that,despite the outcome,”We still have to save Kenya…”

Silverain is slated to be the biggest movie of 2015 due to its impressive cast and script.

The script is written by the very talented Juliet Asante and the actors are drawn from Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa.

 

 

And the best part is that the actress picked is Ann Mbaru who represented us very well during last year’s BBA.
Meet the cast

 

 

 

Today Nairobians woke up to the heavy presence of police officers littering the streets of Nairobi, thanks to the planned occupy parliament campaign organized by opponents of the proposed security bill that aims at curtailing the manner in which security matters are handled in the country.

As promised the opponents are said to have caused a fracas in parliament and its environs but what is appalling is the claim that NTV news anchor Harith Salim was harassed by police officers who called him a suspect.

Harith says that an Administration Police officer caught him by the neck and called him a suspect along Kenyatta Avenue.

This has caused massive outrage from his fellow journalists and his fans who have demanded for the immediate arrest of the police officer.

Some have wondered that police officers have started harassing people even before the draconian bill is passed into law.

Harith says that he has reported the matter to the relevant authorities and believes necessary measures will be looked into.

This is what the soft-spoken TV anchor tweeted about the whole drama:

 

Christmas is around the corner, in just less than a week we will be all celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, as we have grown to be told that this is the day Jesus Christ was born.

Many are travelling upcountry from urban centres to join their kin in the celebrations.

However, former Kiss 100 queen has said that Christmas was purposely made for children and this is their time to do whatever they want to make themselves happy.

This is after Caroline woke up to find her daughter, Nduku, putting up a beautiful Christmas tree in their sitting room.

Indeed the tree is fabulous and if indeed it is Nduku and her friends who did this, then they are geniuses.

They deserve a high five and a Christmas gift.

See here what they have done:

That’s incredible Nduku!

 

Many men would kill to be Danson Mungatana. This is because he has proven to be ‘smoother than most’ by bagging not one but 3 gorgeous wives.

And his brownie points increase even more as one of them is a former Miss Kenya the other, a renowned news anchor on KTN Mwanaisha Chidzuga.

There have been doubts about whether Mwanaisha and Danson are really an item but new photos of Danson at Mwanaisha’s new hotel in South C  show that the two could be indeed an item.

Mungatana was accompanied by friends to the launch of Chidzuga’s Swahili Dishes restaurant  named ‘Aryanna Dishes‬’

Just in case you didn’t know, Julie Gichuru is a trained lawyer. Even so, there are many reasons that compelled her to join Media.

In an interview with Salim Amin of A24, Julie Gichuru disclosed how she ventured to her thriving media career. As a child, Julie wanted to become a criminal lawyer.

She developed a passion for criminal law after watching criminal lawyers defending the innocent. She got an opportunity to fulfill her childhood dream when she went to UK and joined Cardiff University from where she would study criminal law.

Julie got a rude shock when she found out her imagination of criminal law was very different from the reality; she disagreed with every concepts of criminal law. She instead loved commercial law and marriage law. Julie finished her degree in law then did MBA (World Trade Law and International Business).

Upon returning to Kenya, Julie faced the bitter reality of unemployment, she tarmacked for a while hunting for jobs that were not forthcoming. She was living with her grandmother and she desperately needed cash to support her.

With zero prospect of ever getting a job for what she studied for, Julie decided to walk into KTN to ask for a job. She went to do the screen test feeling very confident. After the screen test, she received heartbreaking news when Njoroge Mwaura (a popular KTN news anchor of the time) told her he rated her screen test 3/10.

The anguished Julie left KTN with her hopes of ever getting a job severely smashed. To her surprise, KTN called her the next day to inform her to start working for them immediately. When she inquired why they needed her yet she didn’t perform well in the screen test, Julie was told it was because she had a degree in law and MBA; KTN desperately needed someone to report from the courts and to do business reporting.

That is how Julie Gichuru ventured to media; check out the full interview she had with Salim Amin on the below video:

At the heart of our beautiful Capital City, an event that seeked to honour the very best in all things theatre went down.

The event was the The Sanaa Theatre Awards 2014 which was held at the home of many plays, the Alliance Francaise.
Before we get to the gist of the story let me give you a brief history of the Award ceremony.
The STA was an event launched by Tone Communications, an organisation based at the Kenya Cultural Centre Nairobi following the untimely demise of the Mbalamwezi Theatre Awards in 2004. You could say that The Sanaa Theatre Awards is to Kenya what the Tony is to Broadway.

Among those honoured at the STA WAS Raymond Ofula who was given the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award which is given to people who have had an impressive career/ have had various contributions to theater over the whole of their career.

So Vera has opened a high end salon, prompting another gut-wrenchingly nauseating avalanche of Sidika-mania in the media and general populace.

My friend Sally opened a salon in Westlands too the other week but no one featured her on Ghafla or Pulse. She’s 22, still in campus and has a higher net-worth than me. She’s self-made. Whether young people like these deserve more focus than Vera is a debate for another day. Let’s talk about Uganda’s main chic Zari in comparison to our own Mrs. Modifications aka ‘Booty Momma’

Being socialites, both of them have engaged in antics that propelled them into the kind of instant, gigantic cyberspace notoriety that can either crush a woman or make her so strong and impervious to criticism.

But who’s better than the other?

Beauty

Vera doesn’t seem like the kind of woman that would weather the mists of time quite successfully- mainly due to the grotesque levels of plastic surgery and bleaching that she has subjected herself too. Her boobies look like they constantly need to be refilled with ‘pumzi’ In 10 or 15 years’ time, I wonder what she’ll look like. Honestly her beauty pales in insignificance compared to Zari’s. She’s kinda like the Hollywood folk who constantly go under the knife in pursuit of eternal youth but then they end up ugly AF.

Let’s not forget that Vera is a fake light skinned woman while Zari is a natural born light skin. Despite having kids, Uganda’s boss lady looks as radiant today as she did a few years back.

Relationships with men

Zari has a real boyfriend who also happens to be East Africa’s biggest artiste while Vera has imaginary Nigerian boyfriends. The Ugandan socialite seems to be reading from Kim Kardashian’s play book. She has wooed Diamond like an ancient Greek goddess, causing the media to go into overdrive. Blogs have latched into her romantic affair with the singer, relishing each detail with gusto. The good thing is that she’s decent at least in that she propagates the values of romance and being faithful to one partner

Vera on the other hand can’t prove whether she is indeed dating or she’s just a basic bish relying on handouts and donations from several ‘unknown’ men. If she really has a Nigerian boyfriend as she so claims, why haven’t we seen him? Is he ashamed of her or he simply doesn’t exist.

Realness

Some might argue that Vera is real. She should be lauded for her ability to kick critics in the groin. Despite the negativity, she stays strong and in this way she gets more fans. The internet can be a brutal, unforgiving, colosseum of rage, hatred and vile disgusting abuse and the Kenyan socialite has resisted all that. However, to me she is the biggest phoney in show business – a ruthlessly cynical commercial machine prepared to stoop just below any bar of ludicrous behavior if it’ll enhance her brand or flog a few more likes on her pictures. She has been bashed for an endless number of indiscretions but still continues to thrive on them.

Zari is real, laid back and rolls like a boss. Apart from her affairs with men, you are unlikely to hear disgusting news about her. She simply doesn’t rely on negative publicity to shine light on her image.

Wealth

Zari owns a fleet of foreign cars, mansions and businesses. She has bodyguards, ‘Birdman’ kind of jewelry and Paris Hilton kind of attire. More so she doesn’t brag about it. Unlike someone I know, she doesn’t take pictures smiling like ‘The Joker’ every time she goes into a Louis Vuitton shop.

In the eyes of the general public, Vera seems like she’s living the life but I strongly believe that beneath the contented smile and charming demeanor, there are mental scars of a very different woman. What she goes through to get the little things she flosses around, only the guardian angels know. The only real wealth Vera can boast off is the headlines and likes.

Every time she posts a picture on Instagram, Kenyans scramble to view, disseminate, debate and deliberate over the single most examined and infamous derriere in our country’s history. Good for her. You are rich Vera. You are f***n rich.

He may have not succeeded in being a great Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government but his tenure in office was not a total loss,as he is currently one of Kenya’s most popular memes.

This is according to Google.Ole Lenku memes took the 5th spot after Kermit memes,Gym memes, world cup memes, Harry Potter memes

Kenyans this year were curious about transcoding, email and candling (could the candling search have been inspired by the Quail egg trend which took Kenya by storm this year?)

 

 

This year OLX was even more popular than the English Premier League!This company is really doing good!

2014 must have been a hard year for Kenyans if they had to Google how to survive. And the modelling search may explain the increase in the number of Instagram models!

 

We may not be from West Africa, but Kenyans wanted to know the symptoms of the disease which has left many dead in its wake

 

It is that disgusting morning when you wake up to disgusting news of videos emerging that show how society is rotten.

There is this video of a nanny torturing a toddler in Donholm Nairobi. That aside, another video has emerged of a mpango wa kando woman ganging up with her accomplices to torture her mpango wa kando man who she suspects is having affairs with other women.

Surprisingly, this is a married man receiving a beating in another woman’s house without the knowledge of his ideal wife.

Surprisingly again, he is receiving the torture from a mpango wa kando who suspects the man has another mpango wa kando.

This is appalling. Women have ganged up to torture this man.

We have the video with us here which we will be sharing down here. But before that, let’s go back to the past few days when people took to the streets to protest the stripping of women in the streets.

Perverts were castigated and arrested. Some are likely to face jail terms for their heinous acts.

This is another case. The beatings this man received are just appalling. The man and the woman standing on his privates parts as he beats him with heavy objects on the head are not in a formal relationship.

Is it justifiable for these women to gang up and torture this man as seen in this video? Don’t you think, just like the strippers, these women should be arrested and charged?

Here is the video:

Willy Paul’s new song gospel is out. But,really,there is NOTHING so new about it. Or Gospel. Or fresh. Stuck with the same somnolent songwriting skills,same repetitive lines,same minimal creativity and same irksome themes,Willy Willy is a boy whose tenure in the Gospel Industry should have ended already.

When he did “Sitolia”,a collaborative work in which he included the services and angelic voice of Queen Gloria Muliro,Willy Paul was a boy who seemed like he could do no wrong. Sitolia was a smash hit…From clubs to homes to churches to streets to River Road to villages. The boy conquered them. Good and proper. His voice was beatific,his tone cherubic,his swagger enchanting,his dance styles captivating and his message stirring. And when Mama Gloria came in,blessing the microphone with her empyrean voice and seamless breath,Willy’s arrival was simply god-sent.

We saw a young,post-teen lad…With burnt hair,neck-twisting skills and a killer voice and My,Oh,My,we were spellbound.

Willy Paul never quite remained the sweet kid were figured him out to be,anyway. Quickly releasing “Mpenzi”,a follow up to ‘Sitolia’,Willy Paul’s propitious touch started ebbing away.

He didn’t quite seem to remain the adorable boy we had loved in Sitolia…He seemed to have grown. And seemed to have been in a desperate rush to cement his position in the industry. And rise to the zenith as quickly as he could. Mpenzi was not even really a Gospel song. Or You can call it one if stomping around a microphone romanticizing The Creator Of Mankind and calling Him names as casual as “Mpenzi” is Gospel.

And the video for Mpenzi?? Umm,let us not even go there.

And before the Mpenzi debacle had even died down,Willy released “You Never Know”. Urging the weak and downtrodden to hang on in there…For,You Never Know when blessings would come calling. Typical message…With a nuisance chorus that kept repeating itself over and over as is with all Willy Paul songs. The lyricism was as minimal as possible. And the adlibing was stretched to new levels.

And the use of words like ‘usipagawe’,’ukijizatiti’ didn’t make things any better anyway.

And at around that time,Willy Paul’s scandals started popping up. First with some mediocre girl at some basement at KICC to his falling out with his manager and mentor,J Blessing. The scandals kept popping up…And reports of J Blessing kicking Willy Paul out of his Record Stable for being a prick did the rounds.

Again,He did “Lala Salama” a song whose title was shamelessly borrowed from Diamond Platnumz’s song with the same title. Lala Salama was a song with no particular message whatsoever. Just the usual Willy Paul ramblings about his deprived childhood and lack of family care and struggles blah blah blah. How that qualified to be a Gospel song…I have NO idea!

Don’t even get me started on the juvenile words “Kama ni Kachumbari…Katurungi…Kapepsi…blah blah blah….” Songwriting never got worse.

Scandals seemed to follow the boy along. Reports of his diva demands started doing the rounds. And everyone who encountered the kid told tales of what an egocentric bighead Willy had become.

Fame,clearly,had gone into the boy’s head. And,somehow,it was reported that he was now beefing with his compatriot Bahati over the ‘Bongo Gospel’ supremacy.

And then he released “Missi” a song that generated quite a blizzard over his use of secular lines and nuances to refer to The Sovereign God. The ‘Missi’ video also featured tastely images of gorgeous women,lavishness,club scenes and bottles of pricey liquor including Ciroc,Malibu and Robertson’s Winery.

And all Gospel DJs REFUSED to play that song calling it blasphemous and too non-gospel.

Drama didn’t end there….Willy Paul traveled to the USA for a tour after which he came back a couple months later with a whole new accent,attitude and name. Willy Paul was now supposed to be called Willy Paul Msafi. Msafi,clearly,was a play on the much-famous Wasafi trademark that Willy Paul’s idol,Diamond,uses in all his music and craft.

And after doing a shambolic,profane interview on Larry Madowo’s The Trend show,Willy Paul was met with with an acidulated reception from angry fans on Kenya’s Social Media. Kenyans roundly lampooned Willy Paul for his new attitude. And more so for his not-so-creative stage name change.

And then he did, “Kwa Vile“. A song that,just like all of his songs,anyway,never even betrayed any Gospel-ishness in it. It was all a Diamond Platinum imitation effort,with quite a lot of fancy dancing,flashy shoes,ostentatious scenes and lame lyrics. The song was good,though. Quite catchy,I dare say.

And then came the Kitanzi thing. Which doesn’t even deserve an extra sentence in this article.

And again he dropped “Tam Tam” with Size 8. And before the song had even left the studio,an upcoming musician,Elijah Prince came forward and PROVED that Willy Paul had actually STOLE his song after they had had a brief musical interaction involving the song “Tam Tam”. The case even went to Court prompting Size 8 to publicly apologize for involving herself in a jacked song.

And if Willy Paul was not caught dating questionable girls and defending them viciously on Social Media,Willy Paul could be seen involved in a very public bitter Twitter war with Kiss FM’s Adelle Onyango after he had called her a lesbian for rebuffing his romantic overtures.

He was also numerously photographed flaunting wads of cash on the internet. He would even post the photos himself…Cuddling cash like some Mafioso in Mexico. Even putting the King Of Licentiousness Dan Bilzerian to shame.

His antics never quite came to an end…Snowballing from his public beefs with his frequent collaborator,Gloria Muliro,to his liaisons with random Caucasian women to his grandiose announcements on news interviews,Willy Paul never quite knew when to stop. When to calm down. And when to concentrate on Praising the God he wanted us to believe he was serving in the first place.

And with the constant release of his soooo secular music,which he loves to pass off as Gospel,even when the message,nuances,flamboyant videos and dance moves say otherwise,Willy Paul has quite lost the plot. And is dying to come out of the closet. The secular closet.

And have You listened to his latest song “Mamangu”?? The first 20 seconds of the song are a shameless thievery of Rihanna’s song Rehab. And the rest of the song,well,its the usual confusing gobbledegook.

This boy was NEVER meant for the Gospel Industry. Please Let us all allow him to cross over to the Secular World. He’s been dying to cross over for Years now.

DNG did it. And we allowed him. Could we all just let Mr. Willy Diamond Msafi Platnumz to just to club songs?? And feature bad bitches in his videos??

God,this kid lost the plot. Ages ago. Go ahead,Brother! Quit living a lie. You either doin’ it for tha Lord…Or fo tha World. Choose One,Mr.Diamond.

 

 

 

 

Last year Huddah took shots at her arch-nemesis Vera Sidika calling her a ‘b**ch who hates Huddah with all her cellulite and stretch marks’ after she topped the list of ‘Most Searched Kenyans’ on Google .She even beat out veteran politicians such as Raila Odinga.

But Vera will be having the last laugh  as she has topped the list of most searched people, and topics in Kenya and Nairobi. In fact the only entertainer who comes close is Betty Bayo who beat out her own husband, the controversial Dr Kanyari on the list.

 

 

 

 

Conflict resolution expert/lawyer, David Matsanga, made Robert Alai develop goose bumps, the whistle blower chicken up the very last minutes he was expected to show up on Jeff Koinange Live.

It was anticipated to be the battle of the titans, two of East Africa’s most controversial persons were to lock horns on Jeff Koinange’s show. That was never to happen because one Robert Alai stood down at the very last minute.

“Alai is a small boy with a big body and a small brain; he should leave blogging to my sons…” those were the exact words uttered by Dr. David Nyekorach Matsanga the last time he was on Jeff Koinange Live. Matsanga has NEVER feared anyone, he ruthlessly mauled Alai on his last appearance on the show; it was widely expected Alai would hit back since the two were to face each other on the show.

It appears Alai is only loud on social media; he failed to make it to the bench citing personal reasons; “Sorry guys. I couldn’t make it for ‪#‎JKL. I am so tired, sleepy and I feared Matsanga spitting on me. Enjoy the show” Alai wrote.

Maybe he was genuinely tired; spending a night in a creepy cell could have made him lack the gusto to take on Matsanga. Anyway, I bet folks will still be very interested to see Alai and Matsanga facing off one on one.

 

25 year old Max Röing a Swedish native has had a 3 year long love affair with Kenya. A love story that begun when he jetted into the country in 2011, as a volunteer with a local NGO involved in environmental conservation.

3 years later, Max who is now aged 25 has become an Ilchamus Moran .Last week Max showed that his love for Kenya was not a fleeting feeling when he joined 5,000 Ilchamus youth for circumcision, a rite of passage that saw them become men.
Max Röing is now officially known as Max Lemeyan Le Kachuma from the Ilchamus tribe from the Iltoimai clan
In addition he is now rocking the traditional regalia worn by other male members of his new culture and partaking of their food that includes sour milk.

And he is learning the language too as seen in this Facebook post:

Update learning Maasai: I’m now at 700 words which is +200 since last month And I can really see a lot of improvements in my language skills and practice here in Kenya. My goal is now to learn an other 300 words in the next 1 month to to be able to reach 1000 which I Expect be a foundation enough to take the talking and learning to a good level

Seems like these daughters from hell never lose their want of tact, I’m now, more than ever convinced that there exists an evil race of demons posing as nannies, These are the people you entrust to take care of your baby when you are away toiling in the sun to get food to the table. Unbeknownst to you, your sadistic nanny back in your house  enjoys a lopsided Russian roulette with your child…   A month ago we were taken aback by the harrowing Ugandan video that went viral on the internet, It showed  a Ugandan nanny pummeling a hapless baby girl to within inches of her life. 

Everyone prayed for fire and brimstone to descend upon the nanny who was also christened “Nanny from hell”. Barely 3 weeks down the line another incident has happened In Kenya, a nanny from Donholm was caught on nanny-cam beating up a young child that had been left in her care. 

The mother of the  child, a 34 year old Faith Makena would watch in horror a recorded footage of her nanny beating up her child with a pair of what looked like bathroom slippers. She would later recount the disturbing account of her experience to NTV’s Jane Ngoiri while  revealing that her attempts at reporting to the police had gone un-attended as no action had been taken on the “nanny from hell” 

Talking to the NTV journalist she would tell of the tell tale signs that your baby  is being mistreated by your nanny.

At the beginning of this year Namibian-Kenyan, BBA winner 2013 and her boyfriend Stephen Gaeseb have decided to end their longtime relationship.

According to the Namibian Sun the said break up came after Dillish found out that her beau was exchanging flirty messages with a Nigerian woman while Dillish was in the BBA house.

The two have let bygones be bygones and are officially back together, according to this post by Dillish

Walked into my flat and found this!!!Stephen is back thank you forever and a day!!!
