Condoms and kids. These are two words that should not go together.

But when you hear of scary statistics such as 1 adolescent gets infected with HIV/AIDS every 2 minutes and HIV/AIDS  is the highest cause of adolescent death in Africa and the 2nd highest cause of death in the world, we can no longer bury our heads in the sand and pretend that children do not have sex.

As gross and disturbing as it sounds, children are having sex, unprotected sex, at an alarming rate. And that is why the laptops were replaced with latex and the initiative was started to ensure that children have condoms at their disposal.

But in the same breath I think children should also be educated on the consequences of underage sex. We should not just dish out condoms and forget to educate them on the health and psychological aspects of sex because even though HIV/AIDS Is a serious pandemic it’s not the only consequence or STI threatening their health and well being.

Anyhow, here is the video:

She was arrested on February 16, 2015.

Korogocho slums in Nairobi woke up to a very bizarre incident where a woman butchered three children and feasted on their blood.

The slum area in Nairobi was shell shocked by the incident, with those who knew the woman wondering what came over her.

With others labeling her the Korogocho Vampire, a neighbour narrated how the woman looked disturbed that morning before committing the heinous act.

It is believed the woman had become mentally unstable, killing the children and sucking their blood.

Here is an eyewitness’ story:

A local blog recently released documents indicating that Huddah’s brand new Range Rover belonged to an organization named Baze LTD.

This revelation was met with gleeful trolling from some Kenyans who has a bad case of the green-eyed monster after Huddah showed off her new ride.

Huddah has taken to Instagram to silence the cackles of hate and refute these claims posting a photo of her log book.

Here is a picture of the log book with the caption:
I don’t like to prove anything to bastards but , I don’t rent or borrow cars! I hustle too hard to be living on a budget! Somebody tell these bloggers to go and get the final search at KRA , Bitches! #CozYouAreBrokeDontMeanEveryoneIs #PutSomeKYjellyOnYourLives

And here is the ride:

Anne Kiguta’s journey in the media started at Capital FM before she moved to KTN ten and then got poached by Citizen TV where she anchors at the most prestigious slot, prime time.

Away from the screens, Miss Kiguta is a doting mom to the cute daughter Wairimu whom she fondly calls Wairish. And Wairish bears a striking resemblance to her gorgeous mum, the apple did not fall away from the tree.

When it first premiered on NTV, Tujuane show took Kenyans by storm. It became the talk in town as everybody was mesmerized and swayed by the manner in which it was cast and made real.

However, as fate would be, the show got scrapped later on, with its hosts like Yvonne Bulimo leaving first.

Many had started doubting the credibility of the show.

But now the former host, Miss Yvonne has spoken to Ghafla exclusively about what really happened at the show.

Yvonne was reluctant to talk about Tujuane at first but when our reporter insisted on the same, the ever smiling Yvonne opened up and said Tujuane was a real show and that people met on the material day.

Here is the interview she had with Ghafla:

It seems the Kenyan rich have decided to dot the country’s roads with exquisite European-made vehicles.

After the Italian-made green Lamborghini and the Red Ferrari caused Kenyans to be transfixed, a luxurious British machine, Rolls-Royce Phantom is once again making Kenyans wobble their tongues.

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Convertible was spotted parked somewhere in Nairobi. Photos of the car have seen been flooding the social media as Kenyans expressed their admiration for the British jewel.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Convertible 2014 model is currently retailing at $ 474,600 or Kes 43,341,685 on the market.

The Rolls that was spotted in Nairobi though has a DR Congo number plate. Is it Kenyan really? Check out the photos below:

His name is Mugo Wa Wairimu. One of the most harebrained Kenyan bloggers who shot to infamy immediately after the death of Fidel Odinga who he spent a very insane amount of time hurling tasteless epithets at.

Now,Mugo Wa Wairimu,whose Facebook page is swamped with some very obviously thoughtless posts and idle musings,and whose allegiance to the Jubilee Government is undeniable,last night pulled a fast one on his friends…And sent them on a vain wild goose chase all night after tipping them,with his OWN phone,that he had been ABDUCTED.

ABDUCT,for the daft,means,Kidnap. Or take possession of someone forcefully for intents of committing crimes on or siphoning money through them.

Being a blogger,and a controversial one at that,one is made to believe that Mugo Wa Wairimu is a man whose life is constantly in danger. And,actually,it is. I know the industry. And I know its a risky one…Especially for the very unequivocal.

Now,Mugo Wa Wairimu has repeatedly told his friends and followers that his life is in danger. He has,in the past,indicated that he has encountered mercenaries who has been sent to either kill,harm or threaten him but he,somehow,foiled their plot. Or outfoxed them.

His followers have repeatedly told him to watch his back. And to tone down his very acerbic posts which,almost always,seem to berate,harangue and excoriate the CORD leadership.

Mugo’s scarlet disdain for Raila Odinga is legendary.

Now,last night,Mugo called a section of his friends and fellow Jubilee-inclined bloggers telling them that he had been kidnapped. And that he had been blindfolded an led to a cold forest.

Knowing just how very possible an abduction on the person of Mugo was,His friends immediately believed him and scampered allover town in search of him.

One of the friends who spent a whole night searching for Mugo was one Joseph Githu. Now,after Mugo called Joseph telling him that he had been kidnapped,Joseph sprang to drastic action.

He marshaled all the wits and energies and connections he could in a bid to trace the abducted Mugo Wa Wairimu.

And,among the people that Joseph frantically called in order to save Mugo’s life was Government mandarin,Dennis Itumbi,one Steve K Kewa,Pauline Njoroge and Jayne Waithera.

All of these individuals sprang to action. And couldn’t sleep for a minute.

Joseph even called a Car-and-mobile tracking company PaceTrack AutoCenter to try and trace Mugo’s whereabouts.

It all went on for almost a whole night before the TRUTH was finally known.

Mugo wasn’t abducted. No,Never!

Instead,Mugo had been in his house all through…Where he was found super drunk and incoherent.

One of the people Mugo contacted was another Jubilee-inclined blogger Pauline Njoroge who made a very bitter Facebook post this morning castigating Mugo for wasting her night,time and energy only to be discovered drunk as a sailor-and very safe-in his own house.

Mugo’s followers,too,jammed his Facebook wall to hurl insults at and berate him for wasting their time,pulling such a dangerous prank,acting so foolishly and giving them such an unnecessary panic attack.

Mugo,to this minute,has not said a word. Neither is he picking his phone. And,according to his friend Joseph,Mugo executed his OWN abduction at the guidance and help of one Albert Kiarie Mkenya.

Some of his friends are even advising him to seek medical help,visit a psychiatry and quit bluffing on such grave matters as abduction…which could jeopardize efforts to actually save him from a REAL abduction in future. Which,going by his nature and character,may be,to be honest,inevitable.

                                                             Mugo’s irate fans pour out their bile on him.

He has also been advised to go slow on alcohol-something his friends say he is very very fond of.

Well,the drama has just started…..We shall be waiting here to see what angle it takes next.

Popcorns at the ready.

Letter to City Girl is the title of the poem that is addressed to Nation Newspaper writer and columnist Njoki Chege.

Changez Ndzai, a Giriama poet from the Coastal City of Kenya, has penned an emotional poem requesting Njoki Chege to kindly spare men her wrath which she has spilled again and again in her ever catchy articles on the daily nation.

Famously known as City Girl, Njoki came into the limelight when she took issue with men who drive Blue Subarus, calling them lowly and not worthy her attention.

She further placed a hot nail on the wound she had caused by slamming men on instagram, swearing never to date again.

Many hated her for this while others loved her for the boldness she exhibited.

But it seems someone has been feeling the pain of Njoki’s jibes. The poet has penned this poem addressed to the writer, stating how disastrous it has been to men and how undermining it has been.

Here is the poem:

LETTER TO CITY GIRL.

Enough is enough your words are pepper,
Hot that can burn even that white paper,
Every comma, full stop you put breaks my heart,
You have win this race, please let us not fight.

Who’s that man, made you hates us men in stopper?
Seeing all of us, as useless creature like grasshopper,
Male species unto you is like a house with no light,
Hence your words lay on each of us like a deadly plight.

Tell me dear, so as I can apologies on his behalf ripper,
I am ready to kneel down and bow for you to whisper,
So as you can stop this painful words which aren’t right,
Which paint worse colour to us poor men in the street.

I know money unto you isn’t problem, you glitter,
Fame isn’t the course of all these drama in gutter,
But deep in your heart, there is something in might,
Which is expressed by your moves of your words height.

Your attacks directed unto us is venom sister,
Which burns our soul’s and leave behind blister,
Why do we resolve this issue, no one is perfect,
So as we can live, peaceful without any shout.

This Is Where Janet Mbugua Gets Her “Sexy”

The Kenya Film Classification Board is known for nothing more than the over sensational banning of movies.

Something which has made them very unpopular among the Kenyan masses, they are the Debby Downers, the buzzkills if you will. In a bid to try and become the moral gatekeepers, the board really encourages piracy and  kills Kenyan talent in the process.

In October last year, the board restricted the distribution and exhibition Stories of Our Lives a film directed by Jim Chuchu after declaring that the movie had “obscenity, explicit scenes of sexual activities and it promotes homosexuality which is contrary to our national norms and values”

But all is not lost for the creators of the movie as they recently won the Teddy Special Jury Award after screening of the movie at the Panorama section at the Berlinale Film Festival, which ran from 5 to 15 February.

The popular actress has thrown in her two cents on the young girls desperately trying to be socialites doing ‘unimaginable things’ in the process.

When her picture hit the internet, it spread like a wild fire. Probably even well-established socialites envied Pesh for diverting all the glamour for herself.

In as much as the photo of Pesh (while she was wearing her birth suit) pleased team Mafisi, it raised the moral question of how young girls are ready to do almost anything for fame and money.

When asked what was her take on Pesh’s controversial photo, Patricia Kihoro said she would love to speak to the sprouting socialite before she made her judgement.

She indicated she wanted to know the full story about Pesh to understand what motivated her to put explicit photos of herself for everyone to see.

                                         Pesh

Patricia didn’t join the bandwagon that was quick to verbally lynch the socialite, her approach towards Pesh appears to be offering comfort.

The national finals are upon us, in fact if you are au fait with the latest news, the National finals will be this saturday at the KICC. The finals will see all the contestants from all the counties square it out for the top spot . 

In the quest to be the leader, Miss Tourism  Nairobi made a grand entry into KICC for the academy ahead of the finals this weekend.

“Last week Sunday was the entry of all County Miss Tourism Winners to the Miss Tourism Kenya Academy at KICC and the grand entrances is what made the difference.Nairobi County just nailed it with the vintage car, skaters and bikers all escorting Miss Tourism Nairobi to the academy… ” She walked forth with the grace bestowed upon her by the virtue of her position, she claimed her spot by making a grand entry, with the support from her county evident and surely did she steal the show.

He was born Owen Mwatia but he has grown into Daddy Owen, a man who has been lauded by many as the King Of Kapungala .

A man of his social standing has of course been linked by rumors to many beauties one of them being Sarah Hassan (Tanya) but his choice was Faridah Wambui. Whom he introduced to the world at the Malaika Award, then showed up with her in tow during his elder brother’s wedding.

They were set to wed by the beginning of last year, then it changed to the end of last year and it seems that wedding has taken a back seat as they enjoy each other.
The two lovebirds jetted off to Dubai for Valentines and Owen had this to say about their trip to the Emirates

She makes me look good. . She’s the best! Am blessed to have her.. Valentines In Dubai. . We had fun!! Alafu niskie mkisema Luhyas are not romantic!! # ValentinesInDubai

Controversial blogger, Robert Alai, is now poking fun on the predicament that befell the three leading media houses. He claims the three unknowingly fell for a trap that meant to ‘tame’ them.

Remember when members of the fourth estate were invited to State House for a meeting with the head of state in 2013? Well, according to Alai, the meeting was the genesis of the trouble the three media houses (Royal Media Service, Standard Media Group and Nation Media Group) are now facing.

Alai alleges the meeting was meant to ‘tranquilize’ the media as a plan to clip their wings was being formulated. He blamed the media for easily falling for the trick.

“They were offered tea. They didn’t know that to catch a chicken for slaughter, kut kut kut with some maize on the hand plays the trick.” Alai wrote in part.

Even though he never mentioned names, one needs not to be told who he was referring to as only RMS, NMG and SMG are having issues with digital migration.

The blogger went on to assert digital migration was there to stay.

“But ‪Digital Migration LAZIMA kama matako ndogo kwa mwenyewe.” Wrote Alai.

This past weekend was a big one for many Kenyans as they celebrated Valentines, a day specifically allocated for lovers.

For celebrities, it was even bigger and better as they toured places, hanged out and had mad fan.

The latest to be sported breaking into a dance on the dance floor is Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and Citizen TV siren Lilian Muli Kanene.

The duo were spotted joyously holding hands and dancing, probably having the fun that comes once in a lifetime.

It is now evident that indeed the rumours that were doing round that Lilian Muli had been involved in a road accident were pure lies. she herself denied them.

Here is how it happened:

The glittering eye candy surprised her fiancé with a post-Valentine present that attracted the attention of curious news outlets.

‘You are the best there will ever be.’ That was the message that was conspicuous on the present Betty gave Dennis Okari.

Over the past weekend, Betty Kyallo had more than the colourful Valentine to celebrate. A day after the romantic Saturday, the KTN Friday Briefing news anchor celebrated a very special day in her life.

Betty threw a birthday party for her sweetheart who was adding a year on his age. Dennis Okari was treated to a colourful birthday party that was graced by close friends and family.

Betty gave her fiancé a well decorated present; a mouth-watering cake with a magnifier on it. (Perhaps for magnifying the message on the cake so that he could read the words more clearly).

Better late than never, team Ghafla! wishes Dennis a late happy birthday.

Standard Newspaper’s Kisumu correspondent Naftali Makori passed on early today after fighting a liver infection that he kept private for quite some time.

And as the sad news broke out, many who knew Mr. Makori, either professionally or as a personal friend have come out to mourn the lose of one of their own.

Singer and radio presenter Kay B Kevin Ombwori, who shared a room with the late Naftali back in Masinde Muliro University as undergraduate students has described Naftali as an easy going person and a down-to-earth individual.

Speaking to Ghafla, Kay B narrated his last moments with Makori saying they had a nice chat not knowing they would never see each other again.

“He was my friend, my room mate and a close confidant. I have lost a great pal,” Kay B mourned.

Makori’s fellow writer at Standard Group, Nzau ya Musau, also described the last time he met the late journalist saying:

I did the week-long induction at Standard with Naftali Makori in August 2014. On the last day of the induction, I left on an urgent assignment in Kitui n left my induction papers with Makori. I dont know what became of them n I never saw him again. RIP May he RIP.

Nation Newspaper’s Kisumu correspondent Elvis Ondieki Mwandishi also mourned the passing on of Makori, narrating the last chat he had with him. He said:

He looked somewhat beaten, though. Muttered something about someone not wishing him well since his transfer to Kisumu but, as expected, he didn’t get to the details. He valued suspense; at least on me. And time wouldn’t allow us to talk more. You know, journalists and story hunting. Parted with the usual signature, “Ukipata kitu si utaniambia?”
Who knew that that morning outside KCB Kisumu was the last I would see him alive?
Rest in peace Naftali Makori.

Others who tabled their condolences include KBC’s Junior Lollyporp John who said:

So sad to learn the death of my cousin brother and colleague in the media industry Naftal Onyari Makori of standard group based at Kisumu. Gone so soon bro! Pole sana uncle Omogaka Peter Makori and the enitre village of Nyasore. R.I.P brother.

His friends and readers were also taken aback by the sad news. This is what they had to say:

It is with deep sorrow that I learnt this morning of the passing on of a dear brother and gentleman Naftal Onyari Makori. When we talked last weekend he sounded low and tired, we agreed I call on him at Kisumu this weekend. It was not to be. I will remember Naftal through his story in the Standard newspapers three years ago,he covered a poor kid from Nyamira who would not raise school fees. He passionately followed up the story till the boy got a sponsor. He went too soon at his prime. May God protect his family. Gone before he would grace the launch of my education fund for poor needy kids. ‪#‎RIPNAFTALMAKORI‬ your spirit lives on. – Douglas Arege

So sad to learn the death of my former colleague at the Standard Group Naftal Onyari Makori who passed on today morning at Agha Khan Hospital in Kisumu. You were such a talented and prolific writer. R.I.P brother you fought a worthy course. My prayers are with your family during this time of sorrow and grief – James Onchiri Mbaka

My friend, fellow journalist and former campus mate Naftal Onyari Makori was so optimistic in his last days. He dedicated his health in God’s hands and even believed for a miracle. This morning, our good Lord called him from his hospital bed in Kisumu. He leaves behind a young family. Until his death, he was a writer with Standard and was based in Kisumu. RIP my friend. You were a great person. I know you are with the angels in heaven. – Samwel Born Maina

The journalism fraternity in Kenya has been hit hard with death after Kenyans woke up to the disturbing news of the passing on of Standard Newspaper writer, Naftali Makori.

The passing on of Makori is one of the most untimely demises to hit the journalism industry in Kenya as his close confidants say they never saw it coming.

Naftali who writes for the Standard Newspaper from Kisumu has been complaining of bad health for a while and now it is likely that he succumbed to the same.

A close friend, who is also a journalist, to the late has revealed to Ghafla Kenya that Naftali Makori has been silently fighting a liver infection.

Naftali Makori

He, however, chose to keep it private for a long time, letting only his close confidants know what he was going through.

Naftali worked as a correspondent for the Standard from Nyamira County before he was transferred to Kisumu.

We at Ghafla Kenya send our condolences to the bereaved and may the deceased journalist rest in peace.

Socialite Vera Sidika has been awfully quiet of late, sparking the rumor mill into overdrive. She’s no longer on TV guffawing sycophantic gales of fake laughter while caressing interviewers. She isn’t ruling the blogs with semi-nude pictures either. Her silence has filled her fans with boredom and melancholy. Where is Vera? What’s she up to? I think i figured out why she has been absent from the headlines in recent weeks.

She’s window shopping for extra body parts

Maybe she’s checking the market for some new body parts. She wants to remain a shining youthful beacon of audacious hope for girls who aren’t comfortable in their bodies. People got bored of her fake boobies and bleached skin and our best bet is that she intends to surprise us with something new. Maybe this time she’ll get a tail or something. Or maybe she’s undergoing repairs. You never know man….you never know

She’s has been heartbroken by a ‘matapaka’

It’s normal for people to recoil into a state of silence and depression after heartbreaks. SO claiming that Vera went through one qualifies as a safe assumption. Maybe some rich ‘matapaka’ promised her an imported Range Rover on condition that she ‘panuas her pajas’ but then disappeared after devouring her to his fill

She’s strategizing how to keep up with Huddah Monroe

Huddah is the socialite of the moment. In as much as she’s trying to copy-paste Amber Rose’s style, she’s still winning. She’s everywhere and Vera is nowhere. Just a few months ago it was Huddah that was viewed with derision and despise, now Vera it’s Vera who’s battling to rid herself of those twin evils. The two don’t normally see eye to eye so we can only guess that Vera is devising mechanisms of dealing with the competition.

She’s learning how to cook fufu for her Nigerian boyfriend

Apparently, Nigerian men don’t tolerate women who can’t cook, Fumbling in the kitchen can lead to immediate termination of a relationship. Since Vera is not the type to let millions slide just because she is a diva who isn’t used to preparing dishes for men, she’ll definitely make an effort to conjure up palatable carbohydrates And maybe that’s what she’s doing

She has run out of ideas

This reason bears the greatest possibility. Just like a novice, she probably doesn’t know the next move. In the entertainment industry, there’s always a lot of people ready to take your place. If you slip, there’ll be people lurking to take advantage of the spills. And that’s something Vera needs to realize quick.

Celebrities,just like school students,have rankings. The Best performers,just like the best students,are ranked as A-list Celebrities. The Second Best Performers are ranked as B-list. And so on…And so forth….

If If You’ve not been following this trilogy,well,You can catch up with it here for Part 1. Or here for Part 2.

Now,today,I will,once again,very fairly and impartially,attempt to rank another batch of Kenyan celebrities according to their social status,bank balance,showbiz visibility, street cred,bankability, social media clout and general charisma and allure.

The celebrities I am about to rank in the C-list belong in the C-list because, unlike their A-list mates,or B-list contemporaries,these C-listers are what I would very liberally call a bunch of real struggling celebrities.

Or celebrities who don’t even deserve the name celebrity. But still,because they boast a minimal amount of publicity,because they still posses some sort of flimsy talent and because they’re kind of known,still,they are celebs.

But truth is; their celebrity value is lower than the porn volume in a crowded library.

Phew!

Here is the list….And,good friend,thou art damned if thou art in this list. But not more damned than the guys in the D-list…Whose names I MAY make public tomorrow.

Come with Me….

Here is Cabu Gah’s list of Kenya’s C-list Celebrities….

1. Jimwat
This kid used to be the ish way back in 2004. When he brought You Paulina….And then he really really blew up when he did that very classic Kumbe Ni Under 18 jam. But after that,alcoholism took over…And Jim would frequent dinghy bars more than he would frequent a recording studio. And,expectedly, his career tanked. Real hard. And,to this minute,Brother Jimmy has been absolutely unable to resuscitate his very dead career…But because he’s still trying,he deserves the C-list.

2. Betty Bayo
She actually used to be an A-list celebrity. Wayyyy back when she did that Eleventh Hour monster jam. But then,by a stroke if very bad luck,she met,fell in love with and married a potassium permanganate adherent. And her career went south real quick. She lost it. Completely. And,even though she’s been trying to bounce back,she’ll need more than a miracle. A real miracle,though. Not those 310 gimmicks.

3. Nyota Ndogo
She still has a very sweet voice. If only she could stop the sideshows now…And just do music. From picking up fights with Huddah and Mustapha and Eric Omondi and everything in between, this Queen of the Coast just decided to go rogue. And doesn’t seem to worry too much of where she stands. Or who cares. She’s currently NOT in the country by the way…she’s in Denmark enjoying life with her Danish boyfriend,Henning Nielsen. Who cares about music when a Danish boyfriend can always whisk you to some exotic resort??

4.Mr. Lenny
I didn’t even know this one still existed. Someone just tipped me. But seriously,isn’t the C-list too good for him? I think D-list will do.

5. Marya
Yes,that Ogopa Deejays mama who,after dating that other loser Mustapha,and ended up getting dumped like a bag of donuts in Kariobangi,started dating a whole lot of other nondescript wazees allover South C. And ended up adding so much weight she looked like an extra in a Madea Movie. Whooop! And,to be fair,girl had NO talent at all to start with. No fuckin talent! Woooiiii.

6. Mustapha
He dated the girl above. If You can have the temerity to date Marya,You are as good as dead. And,to be honest,Mustapha is as good as dead really. Plus I heard he started a clothing line? And named it LOBOKO? Brother,If You can give such a loser name to a fashion line,You are an insult to showbiz. Loboko sounds like a whore in Lagos. A-beg Oooo!

7. Kendi
She used to record with Ogopa Deejays. Oops,I meant Calif Records. But everything went under,and after dating a string of not-so-wealthy white fellows,she settled for hosting Karaoke Nights along Moi Avenue. Hosting Karaoke Nights! Oh! What a brilliant move! Go,girl! The sky,sorry,roof,is the limit…

8.Bobbi Mapesa
He’s the Beast. The Original Bad Boy. And the King of Flow. No,seriously! Lakini Jo….Either he forgot to rap. Or just got tired. He tried making a comeback juzi but still,naaaah. Bro used to be real fine. Now…well….it’s a whole ‘nother story. He’s still got the vibe tho…And the mojo.

9. Habida
She brought You Sunshine….that veeeery euphonic jam that she did with Nameless. But after that, she disappeared. Only to re-appear with a husband. Well,getting hitched is NOT exactly the best way to remain on top. Congrats for the ring tho,girl. Marriage is a better thing to trade your superstardom with. Better thing.

10. Chantel
She did Toklezeaaa….And then she potelezeaaad. And then she toklezeaad again …with a video producer husband! And,then she poteleaaad. Again. I mean,You are lucky to even remain known with all these peekaboo games!

11. Risper Faith
Huyu ni ule msichana ambaye alitingiza madiaba kwa ile wimbo ya ile kijana naitwa Blaqy. Boy,was that the WORST twerk ever! Like,WORST. TWERK. EVER. Plus that whole vibe…the wardrobe, the buttcrack,the cellulite,the weave,the fat,the belly…Aaaaiiii,No way! She’s got all the ingredients of a C-list. All!

12. Bigpin
This chap used to be an A-lister too. I mean,he used to rap with the legend himself,E-Sir. But after the very sudden and untimely death of The King Of Nairobi,Bigpin kinda lost the plot. And beside that very infectious eponymous monster hit Bigpin,Bigpin never really did anything else worth anyone’s attention. Including his own. He’s the Beast from the C-list. Wait,that’s a rhyme!

13. Kenrazzy
Kenrazzy is the guy that does ALL the Grandpa Records songs. He’s in them all….somehow. Razzy was hot back then…but never really made it to the A-list. He’s still doing his thang today… But he’s not half as hot. He’s got potential to jump to the B-list tho. He’s got the potential.

14. Pendo
Ok,this is D-list material. Or E-list. End of story.

15. Bamboo
How one of Kenya’s BEST RAPPERS EVER fell so hard and so low…I have no idea. Bamboo,ladies and gentlemen,is Kenya’s KRS-One. I consider him the Best Kenyan MC ever. Sad he’s in the C-list. But hey,his sister winning tho….

16. Shiro wa GP…
I know You’re all asking “Ati Who??” Well,she’s quite a huge name in the Kikuyu World. Tembea Mathioya. Utaambiwa. Still,she’s a C-list. Big name in Mathioya or not.

17.Linda Muthama
She already was a C-list even before she divorced Nyambane. And now after she divorced him,her star is about to shine even dimmer. And dimmer. She’ll be in the Z-list by December 2015. Ngoja uone.

18. Obinna
Whoever thinks faking a Nigerian accent is still funny in 2015 deserves to be in the C-list. Bad.

19. Chiwawa
Just like his bro,Bamboo,with whom he appears in the same list, this modafuckka is one of the baddest to ever grab that mic! One of the BADDEST! And illest. And sickest. Still,he’s in the C-list. Shit,however ill you are,happens.

The only reason s/he is here is because s/he started out just the other day…And is slowly but surely climbing the ladder…to the very top. But not so fast. Not when TV stations are still locked in a duel with the Government. Either way,this is one ‘celebrity’ whose star is shining real fast…and real bright. Watch this space…but still,s/he’s a C-lister. For now….

Well,I guess I am done here. As usual,this is MY list. I could be wrong. But then again,I am the writer here. And I stand by my thoughts.

Gotta different list? You know what to do.

But for now…the struggle,My people,is real!

It is every actors/actresses dream, to make it big in Hollywood and that is why you see many hopefuls travel all the way to Tinsel Town hoping to make their mark in film, television and for some in the music industry.

Some succeed such as Lupita Nyong’o; others fail and have to make do with being waitresses and doing other menial jobs as they await their big break.

Sarah Hassan is currently in Hollywood, a place that has long represented the glitz and glamour of life, making her one of the millions of visitors each year who travel to Hollywood. Their aim there is to see where their favorite movies are shot and perhaps even catch a glimpse of their favorite Hollywood celebrities.

Here is Sarah  giving us a preview of Hollywood:

Hello L.A @nobodyputsanginacorner showing me a great time in Hollywood

So Valentines came and went. You spent 2.3 million alright and all for what? Does it mean you stop showing your woman some loving? Or maybe you went to Monaco (this is one of the most expensive cities in the world by the way) does it change the dynamics of your relationship, have you experienced any growth?

In case you’re wondering where I’m going with this, I’m trying to say that you should strive for something grander, something dazzling that will forever change your lives. How about you start by educating your spouse on Design Thinking (Disruption by Design) awards.

This is award that came about through the partnership of Airtel and UP magazine that looks at awarding key change makers in Kenya who use solution based thinking to overcome challenges and offer relevant solutions to improve people’s lives.

Just like we’re known for creating the Vera Sidika’s and Huddah Monroe’s, Airtel believes that by recognizing and highlighting disruptive designers, they’ll be able to bring discussion of design, design thinking and solution based approaches to the fore with the Kenyan public.

The awards look forward to rewarding innovative elements in Kenyan society which stretch from architectural design, communications design, fashion design, interactive design, tech design and even green design; basically human based designs that will bring forth transformation.

In order to qualify for these awards, individual candidates must be citizens or long term residents of Kenya and must have been practicing design for a while now. Corporations and institutions that are willing to participate must have their headquarters in Kenya. Honorees will be selected for a body of realized work and not for any specific project.

Interested? Then make an effort to show for the launch of this project which will go down on the 19th of this month at Dusit2 along Riverside drive. This is where the official communication of where the designs will be submitted will be relayed where they will in turn go through an official nominating committee before going through a jury’s review. Finally the public will have the final say.

Now if I was in love with someone, I would want them to connect me to something this spectacular; just saying. All in all keep it Ghafla as we’ll be in the forefront in giving you relevant information concerning the awards.
