Month: February 2015

So it seems we started this Month with drama. Yesterday, student at Nairobi Aviation Collage turned the City upside down storming Nation Center and causing havoc because of NTV’s investigative that rubbed them the wrong way. Apart from Nairobi Aviation, here are other stories that will captivate you this Tuesday morning:

If there is one thing Robert Alai is good at doing apart roasting people, is openly snubbing his critics. Even so, he couldn’t ignore them this time round.

Alai has been coerced by his critics to do what they wanted him to do. Following his perpetual efforts to discredit NTV’s exposé on Nairobi Aviation College, people had started labelling him an alumnus of the defamed collage.

As a result of the critics’ constant pounding, Alai decided to produce evidence to prove he has never stepped at Nairobi Aviation Collage to acquire some cooked honorary.

“FYI, this is my college ID. I support NAC in principle and because of the manner the investigations were done. ‪#‎CertificatesOfDoom” Wrote Alai.

So he was once a student at the prestigious United States International University (USIU)?

Alai might not be an alumnus of Nairobi Aviation Collage but he has just proved one thing, every metal bends if you just subject it to the right temperatures. The ‘Mighty’ Alai gave in to his critics’ demands.

The mockery and taunt on Nairobi Aviation College has been taken to another level after even celebrated comedians seem to be carried by the current wave.

The latest comedian to crack a funny funny joke out of the unfortunate activities going behind our backs is comedian Sleepy David.

In what is likely to turn out to be the joke of the week for many and a bitter pill for the already injured NAC students, Sleepy has mocked the institution by riding in a dustbin and purport to be driving in a practical offered by the college.

This may not go down well with the students but it is arguably the best joke of the week.

Okari exposed on Sunday evening how one can easily acquire a certificate from the institution with only Kshs.3,000 without attending even a single class.

This has prompted students from the institution to protest over the expose.

Here is what Sleepy posted:

Nairobi Aviation College, Dennis Okari, NTV and Nation Centre are the trending names in Nairobi since yesterday evening. You mention one and the others pop up like an advert on a site.

Well, after that expose by Dennis Okari (Certificates of Doom) on NTV on Sunday evening, so many things have transpired within a span of just less than 24 hours.

Today Nairobians woke up to unprecedented protests by the outraged NAC students who jammed Kimathi Street to protest the expose which they termed as malicious and uncalled for.

The saga has caught many talking, voluntarily or involuntarily, with mixed reactions and views flying in from different quarters.

The latest celebrity to air her views on the same is celebrated former radio personality Caroline Mutoko.

As usual, Caro normally makes her points clear on pertinent issues, and therefore this was not an exception.

Mutoko said through her social media account:

When the name calling, the blame game, the funny memes and the demonstrations finally die-down on The Nairobi Aviation College expose – and we all have a sober moment to reflect – I hope we will ask ourselves two simple questions:

1. If the bogus certificate you are buying is saving you 3/4 years of fees at a cost of roughly Kshs. 300,000/=, surely the cost of that certificate should be at least HALF the value of the fees.
3,000/= just doesn’t cut it!!! When are we going to look out for ourselves enough to question even our dodgy deals.

2. As parents and guardians – when is the future of our children going to matter enough for us to get involved all the way. Kids don’t pay their own fees. We can look for people to blame and we will and we are – but the buck stops with us.
Someone realised that we don’t care enough and are not diligent enough, we are not involved enough – and saw a gap…….

Have an involved day

Nobody expected this to happen but it did and it is now turning out to be the greatest story making headlines today and a few days to come.

Nairobi Aviation College students took to the streets and particularly to Kimathi Street where Nation Cenre is based, stormed its entrance and pelted stones and other objects into the giant building after a controversial expose aired on NTV on Sunday evening purported that most of the people in Kenya obtain certificates from the institution without going to class.

This must have angered the already irate and unruly students who felt infuriated by the exposes and decided to take their anger to Nation Centre.

Unfortunately, whoever tried filming the whole incident was buttonholed by the students who seemingly felt irritated by journalists, thanks to Okari’s expose.

However, Ghafla Kenya was able to capture some of the scenes from the incident and here we bring it to you:

Kathy Kiuna came under fire in recent times after reports surfaced on social media that she had she banned the impoverished faithful from her church.

It was also said that she said that there were many churches in Nairobi that the poor could worship in, and Jubilee Christian Church was not it. In short, JCC was no church for poor people.

Whether this information was factual or erroneous, Kenyans did not care and Kathy received major clap back for these supposed claims. Even celebrities chipped in, each giving their opinion regarding this matter.

A week on, people are still talking about Mrs. Kiuna, but this time they are saying nice things. This is what lady Bee posted about the Kiunas

This is what I learned yesterday @jcc16 years of God’s faithfulness after watching a documentary of Dad and Mum’s journey of faith.Today I say this to you, it doesn’t matter the situation in your life right now, if God has written something in your heart that’s all, what God had written in your heart is final, no body can tunya you. Have faith in God, don’t be shaken, our God is so faithful He will fulfill every promise to the glory of His name.He who began a good work in you is faithful..I Know That I know That I Know That I Know That I Know ‪#‎FaithIsHeavenCurrency‬ @bishop Allan Kiuna and Rev Kathy kuina have taken me to the next level of Salvation/Christianity May God continue using them to the glory of His Name. .Humbled to be under their authority

Kenyan Born, Norwegian bred, internationally celebrated, and famously talented, the unrivaled Stella Mwangi is just simply one of a kind.

And when it comes to Kenyan Rap Music Stella Mwangi is simply the best, beating her male counterparts in an industry traditionally dominated by men.

The rapper/pop singer  has many accolades including Insyder Chaguo La Teeniez, MTV MAMAS – Best New Act in 2013, Channel O Music Awards – Most Gifted Female Video 2014, AFRIMMA Awards, Best Female Act Diaspora (2007) a Kisima Award And A Channel O Music Awards

In addition her work has been used in films such as American Pie : The Naked Mile and Save the Last Dance 2, and also in TV-series such as CSI: NY and Scrubs.

But Stella Mwangi is looking to leave all this behind her and pursue something different, education. Something she revealed to us

Curvy sexy mammies strutted the runway at the first plus size auditions that was held at Secrets Lounge, Nairobi.

Plus Fabulosity, the country’s first audition exclusively representing the plus size community saw curvy mammies turn out in their numbers to showcase what they got.

Among those plus size ladies who turned up for the auditions was voluptuous actress Adhiambo Opondo.

Opondo has played a leading role in many local shows among them, K24’s Sirkal ya Bibi. The actress is well endowed with curves and it’s no surprise she turned out for the auditions.

Speaking to Ghafla! Adhiambo explained she showed up for the audition to celebrate thick women and to feel good about her body.

Check out her photos below:

Wow! This has escalated quickly. Less than 24 hours after NTV aired the ‘Certificates of Doom’ expose that painted Aviation College in bad light, irate students of the institution are now protesting Nation Media Group.

The students protest turned dramatic as emotions ran high and Nation Media was stoned. And some of these massive rocks  got high up the building ,maybe tehy should recruit some of this students to represent us at the Olympics for the shot field event.

Here are some photos:

Meek. That is definitely not a word to describe Kenya’s resident provocateur Robert Alai. He is loud, he is boisterous and will certainly pummel down anyone standing in his way. But his intimidating nature hit a snag when he couldn’t bully his way through the Certificate of Doom Expose.

I know you are probably wondering what the connection between Alai and Nairobi Aviation College is, there could be no possible connection since Robert Alai is so impartial, or is he? Well, following news that the college would be exposed, Nairobi Aviation College did what any business savvy person would do, get someone who can help you save your reputation from being dragged through the mud. Someone who can nip the looming controversy at the bud,  an Olivia Pope of sorts.

And Alai was their Olivia Pope as demonstrated in a conversation I happened to lay my hands on. A humble Alai called up Dennis Okari trying to see if there was a way around the whole ‘Certificate of Doom Expose’.

(I have transcribed part of the conversation but i will post the full audio for you guys to listen to.)

Alai: Okari sasa, ni Alai hapa. Hii story ya certificate of doom, ni nini imefanyika na watu hawa Nairobi Aviation sasa. Wanasema hujawasikiza kabisa, watu was Nairobi Aviation.

Okari: They have told you that?

Alai:I have seen the conversation between you guys and you promised to see them, they have stayed form 9 to 4-5,unawapa tu kwamba utakuja kuwaona.

Okari: That’s what they have told you?

Alai: Wanacomplain that is why I have called you

Okari: Si story iko saa tatu , I want you to watch that story keenly and compare notes between what you see and what they are telling you. They are lying to you

I have a knack for adventure and as I am sitting like a tightly coiled spring bored in my apartment on the evening of the last Friday of January, I make a decision to visit a massage parlor. I am eager to know if the stories about ‘happy endings’ are just gross exaggerations or the worst kept secrets. So I check my account via phone to see if my salary has reflected and it’s a go

I’ve heard that because the term ‘massage parlor’ has negative connotations nowadays, most respectable places that offer the ‘body rub’ now refer to themselves as day spas or therapy centers. And that’s exactly what i find when I reach the building I have been directed to by a friend who has been at the same place before. It’s labeled blab bla bla spa on the outside and I think it’s appropriate not to name it. From the outside, it looks like any other high end shop. To an untrained eye, not accustomed to seeking out a storefront massage parlors, the grimy red awning is virtually invisible among the artisanal coffee shops and cyber cafes. But to connoisseur, the red lights mean ‘pleasure.’

My heart beats a little faster as I approach the place but I do my best to remain calm.

At the reception, I meet a well-groomed man. His head is shaved smooth as a baby’s bottom. His edged beard is clipped close at it forms a goatee and he looks funny. I almost retreat but then he quickly starts a conversation, eager to not let business slide. He asks me a couple of questions just to make sure I am not a cop or journalist before groaning out the word “karibu” and directing me to a hot mamii seated at another desk on the room. The hot mamiii happens to be the supervisor of the girls. She asks me if I have gotten massages before, to which I reply,

“I’ve had non-therapeutic massages before.” Which is the lingo for , “I want a happy ending.”. She smiles before enlightening me on the packages.

She says there’s the Sh 2000 package for the normal 45 minute massage, or the Sh 3500 for a massage plus oral gratification and then there’s SH 5000 for massage plus kukuta vitu. Wow. Apparently, there are also different types of massages such as the Asian shiatsu, deep tissue, swedish or the drill. I say I’ll go with the drill. She then informs me that a customer can also make an order for a girl to come to your place and that’ will cost you Sh 8000 going upwards depending on the things you want her to do and the amount of time spent.

Customers of the ‘happy ending’ get a kinky benefit too. They are allowed to choose whether they like their masseuse to be fully clothed, topless, wearing a g-string or completely nude while giving them the massage

I ask if I can start with the basic massage with the option of adding more money for ‘ a little something extra’ as time goes, and the ‘nameless’ supervisor agrees. I am directed to a private room in which I am told to undress, wrap a towel and lie on the bed while waiting for my designated masseuse to arrive.

The girl arrives and she’s hot AF. Just what I expected, creamy and boasting of curves like a magnificently sculpted statue. I stare into her warm dark eyes that have a constant sparkle of mischief. They have a certain kind of fire in them. A fire so strong that I am immediately lit. I am tempted to immediately add the ‘happy ending package’ but I wait. With mellow coos, she asks me to lie on my back and close my eyes. I dutifully oblige and let my mind drift upon the wave she’s creating. The sweet scent of flowers outside mingles with that of her perfume. And as she opens the oil bottle and begins spreading it on my back, my nose almost gets blown away. Everything else is magical

She’s clearly an expert but the way she does her job is good that I’m inclined to think the girls do this in order to get men to ask for the ‘extra services.’ They want you to cough out more money even if you didn’t want to.

I don’t even realize it when the 45 minutes are over. But I have to go. There’s a disappointed look on her face as I tell Jacky I won’t be staying any longer. On my way out, I see lots mzungus and pot-bellied men entering the seedy establishment. Some are still pulling into the driveway. They are definitely going to get some. Perhaps I’ll come back another day when the dry spell is real. I’m just not ready to pay for s3x right now.

Those are Nairobi’s massage parlors for you

After quitting Kiss FM for a more lucrative job within the same company, it seems Caroline Mutoko has a new job though it’s not official per se.

Caroline may no longer be very vocal on radio but she certainly is on screen. Yes, if you happen to have subscribed to her channel on YouTube, you will notice she is VERY active there.

So what is this new job Caroline has landed? Believe it or not, Caroline is now a love doctor. With Valentine’s day looming from a distance, Caroline saw the need to school folks on that special romantic day.

The radio queen uploaded not one but three videos giving guys tips on Valentine’s Day. Thought Valentine was for hook ups? Wait till you hear it all from Caroline the love doctor. Check out her videos below:

Acquiring a degree through unscrupulous means is not a new thing in this incredibly corrupt nation where parting with a bribe will get you where you need to go faster.

Getting your hands on a fake certificate and other fake Credentials it is as old as Kenyan universities and Nairobi Aviation College was just unlucky and got caught. I guess some folks are just unluckier than the rest
If Okari visited other institutions of higher learning best believe he would find shenanigans such as these going on.
Of course this expose has caught the country by storm and as sure as the sun rises every morning KOT are on it.

Trust KOT to find the silver lining on every cloud, here are the funniest reactions to the expose

Reverend Cathy Kiuna has strongly rejected claims she chased away poverty-stricken faithful from her Jubilee Christian Church (JCC).

Kathy Kiuna is equally shocked that someone would use her name to gain mileage with their own selfish interest.

“It’s equally foolish when you judge somebody based on someone’s opinion. You must be very wise as a wise person and find if it is true or could it be. Don’t judge, don’t start accusation and abuse. It is shallow, it’s cheap. You need to stop.” Kiuna explained.

Kathy revealed she loves the poor wholeheartedly explaining her own husband, Allan Kiuna comes from Eastlands.

“My husband comes from Eastlands, my husband was brought up in one little room. That is where my husband comes from. He has grown up there all his life” Cathy explains.

She further disclosed she wasn’t even in the country when the cooked story started doing rounds on the internet.

See Cathy explaining herself in the video below:

Finally, NTV’s much publicized expose, Certificates of Doom’ aired last night as prepared and narrated by its investigative journalist and former BBC reporter Dennis Okari.

This was the first investigative piece Okari came up with since his return from the short stint he had in BBC.

Okari revealed how Kenyans go to extents of getting certificates from the Nairobi Aviation College without attending any class. They just part with Kshs.3000 to land a certificate.

However, the expose has faced serious opposition and criticism from different quarters, with many feeling that it is malicious and ill-motivated to taint the name of Nairobi Aviation College.

One particular Kenyan to raise the issue first was blogger Robert Alai who even went ahead to pen a piece in his blog, narrating how Okari conspired with some powerful politician who owns an institution of learning to bring down Nairobi Aviation.

It is alleged that Okari’s expose was supposed to run on KTN but was rejected by John Allan Namu afterv realising that NAC was not given time to express themselves.

This is how the story landed at NTV.

What many are disturbed with is the fact that Okari’s expose looked very shoddy and thinly researched on, with only a single institution being the subject in the expose.

Kenyans are wondering why he did not sample a number of institution but picked on Nairobi Aviation alone.

Among the alumni of Nairobi Aviation are a number of journalists including NTV’s Enock Sikolia, KBC’s John Kago and Radio Maisha’s Beatrice Maganga.

Ghafla Kenya made efforts to reach out to Dennis Okari for comment over these fresh allegations but our frantic calls went unanswered. 

Remember the pint-sized comedian Likobee who had us in fits of laughter back in the day?

Well most of you remember him .For our younger readers Likobee was the biggest thing back in the 90’s way before Mwala made his debut on to our screens. He was part of the top billed cast in Vitimbi that entertained a large number of people in our generation when KBC was the only station for a large part of our childhood.

In what this actor lacked in height, he made up in talent and that is why to this day he remains unforgotten. Mwanaisha Chidzuga recently caught up with Likobee in KTN’s series Wako Wapi? A series meant to help us reconnect with celebs who ruled the screens and the scene back in the day. During the interview Likobee revealed that he was over 50, 51 to be precise!

Biggest surprise this year!

Hip hop first lady, Nazizi has come out strong to deny claims by critics she used ‘shortcut’ to gain the new amazing look she spots.

After she came out spotting a new look that got everyone utterly mesmerized, the queen of Kenyan hip hop reveals why and how she lost weight.

When she got preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) due to being overweight, Nazizi know from the word go she had to do something about her enormous mass.

She didn’t work on her weight though until three years later after she got her son. By then, she was 120kg. Coming from a family where her dad is hypertensive and mom diabetic, Nazizi had to lose weight to avoid visiting the hospital every now and then due to lifestyle diseases that runs in her lineage.

If you thought Nazizi drunk some concoction that made her gain that nice body, she didn’t. Nazizi simply started by cutting on junk food before she hit the gym.

“My goal was to do it naturally and with the lowest budget possible.” Nazizi explained. She revealed people didn’t believe it was her when they saw her new look thus starting rumors she used unorthodox means to lose weight.

As if to prove to all the doubting Thomas she did it naturally, Nazizi surfaced on screen at KTN to shed light on her journey to losing 32kg.

Check out the interview she had with Betty Kyallo below:
