Month: January 2015

Socialite Huddah Monroe is not taking anything for fun or for granted, and she will not mind breaking links with you if you are that type of person who cannot satisfy her financial needs.

These are not my words but from the socialite herself.

The former BBA flop has taken issue with guys who don’t talk business and whose only intention is to nag her with petty and unnecessary questions.

Huddah says she would rather spend the entire day gazing awkwardly at the sun rather than entertain stalkers and people who cannot speak money-matters.

The self-proclaimed boss chic went ahead to say:

Lately,there has been heightened activities aimed at bloggers and general Social Media users by the Jubilee Government. These activities include arrest,arraignment in court,stints in jail cells and/or intimidation by the Police after these social media users have posted what appears to be alarming,abusive discomforting and unpatriotic messages across the internet.

First there was Alan Wadi,the Moi University lunatic whose acrid insults directed at Uhuru Kenyatta and the whole Kikuyu populace earned him a 2-Year stint in jail.

Wadi,among other very acerbic things,had publicly called for the assassination of The President,repatriation of the whole Kikuyu tribe and had also used some very unpalatable words on the eminent person or Uhuru Kenyatta and his government.

His arrest was as dramatic as his Facebook ramblings. And,in a span of 24 hours or so,Wadi had been thrown behind bars. To be a guest of the very state he had spent ample time vilifying. For a beautiful 2 Years.

There was an uproar…Obviously. But that didn’t wipe out his very obvious crimes. And very reckless train of toxic thought.

And as if the arrest of Wadi and many other bloggers,including that of Abraham Mutai last week was not deterrent enough,another basket case,who appears to be way into his 60s,has surfaced. And the amount of bile he is directing at Uhuru Kenyatta,his government and his deputy is wayyy tooo toxic.

His name is Albert Waiganjo. And elderly-looking man with scholar traits and most of whose photos appear to have been taken abroad. And in historic World sites.

Waiganjo is NOT your typical bash-the-government incendiary. Waiganjo is a whole ‘nother breed. And he is not holding back his noxiousness. Or turning down his peevishness.

Waiganjo is a real nutcase. From head to toe.

He holds NO prisoners. And is NOT,at all,even the slightest fan of Uhuru Kenyatta. Or whoever works for,under or with him.

No one is safe. Not even Hon.Moses Kuria. Or the AG. Or even blogger turned-state house mandarin,Dennis Itumbi.

I attempted to contact Albert Waiganjo and have a quick chat with him on his very virulent Facebook postings but,to this minute,Waiganjo has ignored my messages. But upped his Uhuru-bashing notoriety.

Its NOT clear whether this man lives in Kenya. Or abroad. Or even whether that online name is legitimate. Or the face behind it.

What is clear,however,is that,the moment You find it within Yourself to brand the President a Child Killer,a Homosexual and a Rapist,well,I guess You deserve to be held in some little room. Surrounded by a couple uniformed men. And explain Your thoughts further.

Here are more screenshots of Albert Waiganjo’s very malignant Facebook posts. And also here are photos of the man. And lastly,here is a link to his Facebook handle.

I am all for media freedom,freedom of expression and what not….But even that freedom has it’s limits.

Even lunacy has it’s limits. Mr. Albert Waiganjo,in my opinion,which You can chose to ignore by the way, is absolutely OUT OF ORDER.

Here are the Facebook drivels that attracted me to Mr. Albert Waiganjo. I was shocked and dismayed. You will be too,I bet.

Like I said,in Mr. Waiganjo’s very convoluted world,NO ONE is safe. At least among the President’s homeboys.

Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter’s seat as MP hangs on the balance after he was embroiled in a controversy that is likely to continue for days to come.

The MP was caught on camera threatening and harassing officers who had impounded an overloaded track believed to belong to a fellow legislator, nominated MP Sonia Birdi, who accompanied her to the station.

The video upon its explosion into the limelight, sent shock waves across the republic, with many Kenyans demanding that Keter pay his antics.

The presidency also released a statement denying any involvement in the saga as stated by Keter, and demanded that Keter faces the full force of the law.

As we try to come to terms with the latest development, here is the video as captured by a hawk-eyed police officer without the knowledge of the legislators as they blatantly broke the law:

Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter is one man under ‘siege’ after he was embroiled in what can only be termed as impunity and blatant breakage of the law following the impounding of an overloaded track purported to belong to nominated MP Sonia Birdi.

Keter mistreated officers at the Gilgil weigh bridge, a fracas that was caught on camera without the knowledge of the legislators and sent to the media, something that did not go down well with many Kenyans.

And as the legislators thronged media houses to defend themselves, celebrated former radio queen Caroline Mutoko has taken issue with the legislators, albeit sarcastically, and said she is siding with Keter.

MP Alfred Keter

Mutoko posted this:

I’m going to side with Keter and accept that HE was fighting corruption. I shall ignore:
1. We are the government
2. Kwani nyiyi ni nani
3. We makes laws for this country- we shall reverse the laws
4. The truck does not have this permit the cops says- he’s told wacha Hiyo. We’re the ones making laws, when we want to break it, we break it when we want (but he’s fighting corruption)
5. The cop says “tunafwata sheria as given by Kenha
6. I f**k innocent stupid people!
No problem, I’ll ignore allll that.

It came as a disappointment to many after learning that Tv queen Janet Mbugua was dating and getting married to Eddie Ndichu a banker. We had loved to idolise her from her appearances on the Tv, The idea that she would at sometime marry a lucky Gentleman was vague, but it happened all the same. She got engaged to Eddie Ndichu in a  Invite-only party at her parents home at the coast late last year. 

 Eddie Ndichu posted on His Instagram an update about the possibility of his “wife” getting twins, 

According to an unconfirmed off-the chart website, paternal instincts are possible and many men can actually tell the gender of the baby that will be born to them. Much like Eddie Did! In his case, he was able to tell that He and his wife will probably be getting twins! Whether by hunch or by telepathy, Eddie seems to be communicating to the world that He  and Bae are actually expecting “Company” in a couple of months. 

Yesterday, popular Citizen TV’s actor, Omosh was involved in a road accident at area 58 along Nairobi-Nakuru highway. Today however, the actor has been killed by the internet.

Tahidi High’s Omosh has been killed by the internet. Gossip blogs have been spreading misleading information about the actor.

Some briefcase sites have been alleging Omosh died as a result of the injuries he suffered after being involved in the road accident.

The information circulating round the internet regarding Omosh’s death is just a hoax. The actor is not dead like the gossip site is alleging.

Willis Raburu has become one of Kenya’s most sought after senior reporters and anchors due to his brainchild the “Truth Meter” and his feature stories on Citizen TV.

Other than “Truth Meter”, Willis, the son of former renowned PC Pastor Peter Raburu, joined CNN last year for the coveted journalism fellowship at it’s headquarters in Atlanta, USA. This move secured his position as one of Kenya’s best. Having a decent fashion sense didn’t hurt his career either.

But things have not always been like that as demonstrated in this shagmondoz photo from back in the day

It is always awkward when you are beefing with someone and they have no clue that you exist.

This was a situation that American actress, model, author, television personality, producer and former Miss USA found herself in after Lupita had no idea who she was. Keep in mind; this was after she tried to throw shade at Lupita following and apparent snub at The Golden Globes.

This is what she posted on  Twitter :

@ThatMattSiegel lots of people who were so cool @taylorswift13 was so sweet but @Lupita_Nyongo refused 2 take pics After 2 movies #girlbye

Kenya Moore

After Lupita avoided tweefing about on the incident on Twitter, a reporter asked her about the said occurrence during a press conference event. And Lupita replied simply by saying, ‘Who is Kenya Moore?’ This is according to a site, Naughty Gossip

After imbibing in copious amounts of alcohol, merry making and chowing down food over the December holidays we are all feeling the effect of blowing our money.

January has become synonymous with njaanuary and here are hilarious pictures from the trending topic:

We all know that Margaret Kenyatta is not your usual first lady. She is not the passive and prim first ladies we are used to. Her presence in Kenya has been felt despite her shy debut into the limelight.

She is involved in many activities that include forming the Beyond Zero Foundation that aims at HIV control and the promotion of maternal, new born and child health in Kenya.

The first lady was recently at Chaka Ranch where she trained for the First Lady’s Half Marathon scheduled for March this year.

While she was there she took a spin on the quad bikes, before posing for some selfies with the staff at Chaka ranch

The famous Bukusu darling, Khamala and Sarika have called it quit. The pair has decided to end their much publicized marriage following irreconcilable differences.

Sarika Patel is accusing her husband, Khamala of harassing, insulting and mistreating her. According to Standard Digital, the jilted wife says her predicament started when she fell sick.

Sarika illustrates Khamala “ignored” her when she was ill failing to take her to the hospital. She now regrets defying her parent’s request for not marrying Khamala.

Sarika is reportedly staying with her relatives as her parents are still giving her time to make up her mind on whether she want to divorce Khamala or reconcile with him.

Sarika regrets marrying Khamala, she says her parents are now treating her like an “outcast” since she disobeyed their advice and went on to marry a man they strongly rejected as her better half.

On her side, Sarika had hopped her marriage would be emulated and set a good example in the country demystifying the common notion that two people from different race couldn’t peacefully cohabit.

It is the Nairobi Restaurant Week, famously abbreviated as NRW. The NRW is a week specifically dedicated to showcase the different menus that Nairobi’s flashy and finest restaurants have, in a bid to attract eaters from across the city and beyond. And not just eaters, I mean eaters who are willing to eat well.

To know what the NRW entails, I took the initiative to have a firsthand experience. My friend and colleague Dennis Onderi, who writes stuff dealing with tour, travel, hospitality and related things for our sister blog Tambaa Kenya, was also interested in this stuff.

So we researched on the finest restaurant where we could satisfy our desire to know what Kenya offers its people. We landed on one of the finest restaurants located in the outskirts of the CBD.

The cab was at hand and we drove off to ABC Place in Westlands.

After undergoing the necessary procedures at the gate, we were showed the entrance to 360 Degrees. A nice place with glassed walls and serene environment it was. At the entrance, an inviting face smiled from the counter.

“Oh my God, this is the place…the serenity at this place is awesome…the counter, the tables, the seats…with women like this, I will be tempted to sell my ancestral piece of land back in the village, become a prodigal son and spend it here, just to see these women”, I stupidly thought.

“Hello, welcome to 360 Degrees, I am… (I can’t remember her name coz to be honest I was more interested in her looks than the name)”, the beautiful lady introduced herself amid handshakes. We exchanged the pleasantries and she led us to a table, well dressed, waiting for ‘eaters’.

What shocked me most is the fact that almost everybody who saw us smiled warmly, indicating that everything was ok in this place. I felt at home for once and thought to myself, “life would have been so sweet if everybody smiled every day, including my landlady at the end of the month.”

Inside 360 Degrees where guests are enjoying the serene and cool environment

Steve Mburu, as I came to learn his name, walked up to us, introduced himself and presented us with the day’s menu. I am not talking about it now but straight to the oven, where Kenya’s best Pizza is cooked by Kenya’s best chef, a chef who flew all the way to Naples in Italy to learn just how to cook the best pizza.

Almost everything here is Italian: the Chef, the oven, the flour, the ingredients and almost everything. All under one roof. (Italians are the best cooks the world has ever produced. They study PHD in cooking I understad)

Gilbert Ngigi (the pizzaiollo) warmly welcomes us to his section. He is a swift guy, so swift. I guess it is the keenness that pizza preparation requires that has made him that swift. We take our seats on the counter, near the oven, I mean the Italian oven.

Then Ngigi welcomes us, again, as he smiles towards the oven. “This is the place, and this is the person”, Ngigi tells us. Immediately a flurry of questions ensue as we get entertained with the revelations about pizza preparation.

Under close to 360 degrees celcius (perhaps this is where they got their name from) of heat, Pizza burns in less than 90 seconds and gets into your mouth. That is one and half minutes. With this heat, anything, including stones and metal, can burn beyond recognition.

The Italian Oven that makes pizza

At 360 Degrees restaurant, you will find the most unique and quality pizza. Glibert is the man behind this sweetness. He flew to Italy purposely to gel his skills in Pizza cooking. He was there for a record two months, in Naples and then flew back to Kenya, to entertain Kenyans with what many crave.

The whole process of preparing pizza is tedious but for Gilbert, it runs deep down his blood. He does it with the ease of jumping to bed.

Within a minute or so, you have your pizza, sweet as ever, served with whatever you want. As I told you early, everything here is served swiftly. I mean the attention a customer gets will prompt you to make another trip here.

As we watch with our mouths agape, a smartly groomed man walks into the restaurant. Gilbert tells us that is the general manager. We would love to have a word with him. So we signal Steve who hurriedly comes over. We request that he allows us to speak to the general manager. It is agreed.

The guy walks straight to us, introduces himself as Victon Lugaga and warmly welcomes us to 360 Degrees. He takes his seat and his time and talks to us.

He is a cool guy with a real English accent. Amid talks, a beautiful lady comes over, greets us warmly, introduces herself and places some juice on our table. “Welcome please”, she says with a smile and walks away. I feel good. So is my colleague Dennis amid seeps of the juicy juice.

Gilbert then prepares us pizza laced with beef. What a meal! We devour the pizza as the GM walks away to attend other visitors. I turn to Gilbert and confess, “I have eaten pizza before but this one…sweet!”

“That is direct from the pizza iollo himself”, Gilbert says amid laughter. I ask what that means and he explains that it is Italian meaning someone who is good at something. I immediately assume the title entertainment iollo. That is my title.

Gilbert Ngigi, the pizzaiollo

Then we are served with chocolate cake with creamy mocha frosting…Believe it this is a meal and half.

We started with Starter…here, we were served with Fried squash blossoms. This is stuffed with Ricotta and Herbs. Then came what they call the main course. Here, we are served with Steak Diablo. This is made up of thinly sliced prime beef, red bullet chilies, mozzarella, red onions and garlic. And now with what they again call a dessert. Here we ate, Aly’s Mocha Cake. This is chocolate cake with creamy mocha frosting.

We are through with gathering news and eating. They say experience is the best teacher. Ours is. We’ve learnt. We move to the counter where Steve is seated welcoming guests. Besides him is another beautiful lady. He introduces her to us. She is the accountant. She smiles beautifully and tells us to visit again.

I tell Dennis I will probably try and go there again: to eat, to see Victon, Steve and Gilbert, and most importantly, to have a chat with some people I could not meet due to the busy schedule.

360 Degrees is the place. There is Java there. There is also Caramel. However, at the end of the day I never regretted why I chose 360 Degrees. It is the place for many. The number of customers flocking there is a testimony.

Capital Club has its Italian Chef, Luigi Frascella. But 360 Degrees has its own Italy-trained Kenyan Chef, Gilbert Ngigi. The man behind the best Pizza in Kenya.

When Kiss TV rebranded, fresh faces that included Miss Ivonna, Kwame Bonsu and K4 made their way to our screens.

But among these there no one stands out quite like the perky Angeline who seemed to have rubbed people off the wrong way.
But like they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity and Angeline’s face and name has become synonymous with Kiss TV. Love her or hate her, it is clear that this lady is going places.

Anyhow, before Angeline became famous, she did a little acting.Here is Angeline in her first  ever acting debut in a ‘Nigerian’ movie called African Djinn‬ where she  played the character Adama.

Not all marriages have fairytale endings as demonstrated in the increased number of cheating scandals in society today.

We hear about it on Classic 105, watch people getting caught pants down on TV  and for those who are unlucky, they catch  their spouse mid coitus, being ravished by someone that is not you.

And that was a scene witnessed today when a certain man accompanied by his son caught his wife a radio queen bumping uglies with a Nyanza senator.

The randy politician is said to have humped the married radio queen in a hotel in Milimani, Kisumu, which is famous secret rendezvous.

According to The Nairobian, the radio presenters husband wanted to give them a beat down they would never forget, but the spectators held him back before he could do any damage.

One of Nairobi’s most fashionable young Men,Dennis Kaweru,formerly known as Dennis Triple Distilled Kaweru on Facebook,is admitted in hospital. He was admitted after being involved in a freak car accident on Garissa Road,Near  Matuu,Wednesday afternoon.

Dennis Kaweru is quite a known figure around Nairobi’s Fashion circles. His sharp suits,impeccable dressing style,stylish demeanor and chic elegance has made him quite a prominent figure in Nairobi’s fashion circles.

He has also managed to not only set up but also run a fashion house called LA GIACCA that specializes in branded suits,blazers and shoes meant for middle-class Nairobi working-class gents. He has actually dressed me severally for a couple TV shows I have been in and also for venue appearances.

Kaweru,who is a former banker,actually quit his banking career to concentrate on his fashion line,La Giacca which,until he had an accident,he had been zealously working at.

Kaweru had an accident Wednesday afternoon at around 15:00pm around Matuu on Garissa Road.

And Yesterday,I and a colleague,Tonny Ndung’u,visited Dennis Kaweru at LANDNAN HOSPITAL,Pangani where we met him on the bed…surrounded by his girlfriend-and possible fiancé-Waridi and his two sisters.

Kaweru,after the freak accident,which made his car roll 3 times and be flung across the air,was then rushed to a Thika Hospital from where he was transferred to LANDNAN HOSPITAL by his girlfriend,Waridi.

Kaweru suffered injuries to his jaw,which actually broke. He also sustained visible injuries on his face which was swollen to a puff. His right eye was also heavily swollen too by the time we arrived.

But,generally,he was doing fie and even managed to crack quite a number of jokes with us despite the fact that he has been scheduled for a major jaw surgery today which will confine his jaws to a network of metal shafts for a whole 6 months. Kaweru is requesting for our prayers and continued support. And we shall continue to provide that till he heals completely and gets back on his feet again.

Get Well Soon,Njamba. Get Well Soon. And may God Heal You quicker than You thought.

Ugua Pole.
