Risper Faith could have declared she saw the light but she is still making Team Mafisi salivate for her because of the things she posts on social media. Thirsty niggas have been have been casting their nets hopping to make a catch.

Many would agree Risper Faith has come out looking even more gorgeous ever since she underwent a spiritual transformation. This however seems to have increased the number of her admirers, some of which are well known personalities in the country.

Risper has been uploading some eye-pleasing images on social media that have prompted Team Mafisi to make a move on her.

No doubt you can’t dictate what your eyes sees, Dennis Oliech’s peepers saw something interesting that he couldn’t let loose.

As usual, a man of his caliber couldn’t hit on her just like that with all curious eyes watching. He needed some privacy that’s why he most probably requested Risper to inbox her.

Kwani what was so important that Oliech wanted to chat with Risper privately? Football matters or perhaps he wanted her to preach to him? Anyway let’s stop the speculations, maybe it was something worthwhile after all. Who knows?

The British Broadcasting Corporation is one of the most established international media houses in the world. Alongside CNN, Al Jazeera and other media houses, BBC has been in place for so long that its achievement in informing the globe is just insuperable.

It has its branches in almost every part of the world, with Kenya not left out. This explains why BBC Sema Kenya was invented to look into issues affecting Kenyans and put them into perspective.

BBC Sema Kenya was first launched at KTN before their contract ran out and they shifted to State-owned KBC where it has been running to date.

The programme’s main objective is to reach out to Kenyans in various parts of the country and give them a platform to air their views, plight and grievances.

And now news reaching Ghafla Kenya indicate that KBC has officially acquired the program and it will own it very soon to make it its own.

It is understood that the state-owned broadcaster has already started training staff who will be covering it from the remote areas of the republic.

Among those who made BBC Sema Kenya a success is KBC’s Bonnie Musambi alongside others.

Ghafla Kenya reported a few days ago that Bonnie is headed for the exit from KBC to Radio Maisha who have been pursuing him to be part of their glittering team. In case he leaves who will replace him now that KBC has acquired the program?

Only time will tell.

Her fame was wrought by controversy and partying, and we all thought we knew what she was about.But just when we think we have gotten someone all figured out, they surprise us.

Yesterday, Huddah joined the Duke Of Spades Foundation for a day of giving back to kids in Kibera at Paradise Community Center.

This was the reason she gave for joining this worthy cause “We make a LIVING by what we get, but we make a LIFE by what we give . The purpose of life is not only to be happy- but to matter , to be productive , to be useful , to make a difference . My heart desires to reach out to the less privileged people , to assist those who do not have the financial resources to care for themselves and children living with HIV/AIDs. Therefore, I join @Dukeofspadess on this journey tomorrow at Paradise Community Center / Kibera . And I’m inviting you all. Come one , Come all and give what you can to this worthy course. Remember, A hand that gives , receives !”

She also flashed back to her past life sharing this:

“I used to live somewhere like this with litter everywhere , urine and shit in hallways and the street food for less than a dollar was the best ! Tasty as fuck ! Im yet to eat something so TASTY out here. Damn,I missed Chipo Moshi !. We Thank God we don’t look like where we came from! #TheresEnoughForEveryoneInTheWorld”

The upper hill restaurant has been on the limelight ever since details emerged that it was discriminating against black people. But now the food joint has come out to defend itself.

Early today, we learnt that the notorious restaurant was also offering dog meat and at the same time acting as a brothel.

All these while, the restaurant’s management was mum until now. It has issued a press statement denying all the allegations it was slapped with. Expect two; dog meat and brothel claims.

The restaurant’s administration refuted claims it discriminated against Africans and that it was also operating illegally in the city. They explained the measures they applied since a robbery incident back in 2013 was the root cause of misconception about their restaurant.

Funny the administration said it was now accepting suggestions from clients to help it improve on its service delivery. But the last time I checked, the restaurant was shut by Kidero’s government. So is it still operating?

See the press statement below:

Dresses swaddled in Swarovski crystals have become a fashion staple on Red Carpets in Hollywood because they add a non-tacky kind of sparkle to nearly anything draped in them.

The crystals from a company based in Austria have been used in many celeb outfits such as the sheer, shocking and not forgetting scandalous dress Rihanna wore to the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) ward show. The dress made of 230,000 Swarovski crystals showed off her breasts and the only thing protecting her nether regions was nude underwear. The Adam Selman dress she wore left her basically naked on the red carpet.

Now, Corazon Kwamboka has acquired a dress from the designer courtesy of her boyfriend, the dress goes for 2500 dollars which is  about 230,000 shillings. Talk of making a fashion STATEMENT

So are you sitting there and wondering how you can be Kenya’s superstar, you know something bigger that Octopizzo or Vera Sidika. How we’ll worship the ground you walk in and how these lasses will scream out your name every time you make an appearance?

How blogs will come in droves crumbling to write stories about you and how you’re Kenya’s Dr. Dre or Mustard?

Well I’m here to tell you that your dreams are valid and it’ll start by you switching on your data and downloading the eJijiPay app which is the new innovation by Nairobi City County aimed at revolutionizing payments.

Now from the comfort of your house or your girlfriends arms, you can get that business permit and be on your way to establishing that music studio that will finally put Kenya on the map. You can also pay your rent, your parking fee, land rates and everything else you might owe Nairobi County.

And it all starts by following these easy steps:

It’s Friday evening, you’ve met a hot chic at a club, showered her with outpourings of flirtatious speech and somehow she has ended up in your house.

You take her to bed, show her your ultimate bedroom game but just as she’s about to reach her climax, your phone rings. The device is just next to you so you can’t ignore the call. Your girlfriend is calling….yes your real girlfriend. You know you can’t ignore because she’s the drama type. She’ll definitely suspect you are with someone. You go ahead and answer.

Unfortunately the volume of your smartphone is too high. Your girlfriend shouts, “Hey baby.” The chic you just brought into the house hears that and she instantly gets mad. You told her you were single, You told her you were not a player.That’s why she agreed to sleep with you.

She gets out of bed, storms out of your house and vanishes into the dark of night. Since she’s in a hurry, she forgets her earrings. You happen not to notice them because you seldom arrange your house.

Your girlfriend shows up the next day in the afternoon. She finds the earrings. You have no solid excuse. She dumps you. Double tragedy in less than 24 hours

There’s no need to fret if you dread such a situation. The world’s leading sexual wellbeing brand, Durex, has come up with a simple yet effective solution that does the double job of keeping you out of trouble as well as helping you enjoy sex more. The makers of the World’s number one condom brand have developed an App that synchronises phones to sleep together, so couples can too. In easier words, the app allows you to set a duration of time during which you intend to make love to someone. Between the start and stop time, your phones won’t ring. You’ll get a notification later on after you are done and ready to talk on the phone.

So how would the app have been useful to a guy who found himself in the above situation? In the process of wooing the ‘one-night stand’ girl he should have convinced her to try out this new marvelous app. His girlfriend’s call wouldn’t have interrupted the romp with his new playmate. The girl would have left happy in the morning and she probably wouldn’t have forgotten her earrings. The best part? The guy’s girlfriend wouldn’t have found any earrings hence the guy wouldn’t have been dumped. Awesome

This is just an example for the naughty boys. Couples who want to improve their love lives can use this app too. Research has shown that women are unlikely to get an orgasm if the sex keeps on getting interrupted. So for peaceful, enjoyable lovemaking, Durex has the solution for you. First Step: Buy the Durex Condom. Second Step: Convince your partner to install the Durex App and you’ll be good to go.

The ‘Durex Connect’ app is currently available for free on Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.durex.reconnect&hl=en_GB)  and is compatible with Android smart phones, and will be out soon on iOS. At your convenience, the will simply mask your phones’ home screen, effectively putting the handsets to sleep and removing all distractions.

The app was developed after a Durham University research, which revealed that up to 40% of people globally, delay having sex because of technology, largely smart phones and tablets. The research results were supported by an online video, released on Wednesday, 11th March           ( http://youtu.be/O925jNVmpOQ ), featuring couples on their emotional journey, and highlighting the serious issue that we are becoming enslaved to technology. Disturbingly, a third of the couples visiting the website admitted to interrupting sex in order to answer their phone.

The app comes as a final chapter to the ‘Durex Connect’ campaign, just in time for Earth Hour celebrated globally every year on the last Saturday of March. (www.earthhour.org). Earth Hour was started by World Wide Fund for Naturein 2007 as a lights-off event to raise awareness about climate change. Earth Hour encourages individuals, communities, households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. as a symbol for their commitment to the planet.

Rachel Bloodworth, Head of Public Engagement at WWF-UK, said: “Durex’s Connect campaign is a great awareness driver of that need to reconnect, and we hope it inspires people to really think about how much we all need to make the time to stop and enjoy the world around us.

“Earth Hour is a huge symbolic display of the need to protect our planet.  But it is something more – it’s an hour when we can all switch off and reconnect with the things that are important to us.”

Ukonwa Ojo, Head of Global Brand Equity at Durex comments:  “The Durex Connect film followed the volunteer couples on an emotional and reflective journey where they came to terms with their true obsession with technology in their relationships, and the campaign has really highlighted this on a global scale.

“The huge number of people visiting Durexlabs sign-up page, twinned with the compelling research by Durham University really opened our eyes at Durex, and we decided to launch an app after all!  As we approach Earth Hour at 8.30pm on March 28^th, we invite couples around the world to discover this app that could truly enhance their sex lives.”

Wel, what are you waiting for?

They say that for every action there is a repercussion.

Tony Gachoka recently named Jimmi Wanjigi, son of former powerful Cabinet Minister Maina Wanjigi as one of the masterminds of Anglo Leasing. Something that he did not only once but twice on Nation FM and You Tube.

{youtube}0CBQRqMsomU{/youtube}

And we waited in bated breath to see the repercussions of his words. And it seems that he has been sued alongside Jeff Koinange who has hosted him twice, You Tube, nation Media Group where Gachoka works, KTN and Standard Group where Jeff Koinange works and Sam Shollei, Standard Group-CEO.

She couldn’t hibernate in a cocoon of lies forever, this is why she ultimately decided to come clean about her sexuality. The talented Tahidi High actress is a proud lesbian.

Many LGBTs like hiding in the closet for fear of being stigmatized when they open up about their real sexual orientation. Tahidi High’s Waitherero used to walk this path too until she decided to face her demons.

Just in case you don’t know her, Waitherero plays the role of a wife to kibunja in the popular Citizen TV’s show, Tahidi High. She also featured on Slim Possible season 4.

The plus size actress recently held a sumptuous birthday party for her slender good-looking sweetheart who lives in Eldoret town.

Apparently, Waitherero was also dating another lady who cheated on her before she decided to end up with the new catch in Eldoret.

In a telephone call that Ghafla! had with her, the actress revealed she decided to reveal she was a lesbian because she was tired of living a lie. She also told us she once dated men (she has a son) and that the breakups and other annoying male behaviors made her discover her true sexuality.

See photos of Waitherero and her boo on the next page:

Anyone working in the media can tell you this for a fact, staying afloat in this industry is an uphill battle because there is always someone more than willing, nay fighting to take your place.

Newspapers such as Kenya Times and Kenya Today have come and gone, and KBC is no longer the hottest kid on the block, younger fresher stations took their place.

So if you live to fight another day, one has to be grateful because you are among the chosen few.

We received information that one of Kenya’s favorite media houses Spielworks media was heading for the gutters. Spielworks is owned by Dorothy Ghettuba and is responsible for fantastic shows such as ‘Jane and Abel’ ‘Lies That Bind’ and ‘Sumu La Penzi’ that are popular on Maisha Magic.

Lies That Bind: Photo- Spielworks

The source claimed that the media house was crumbling and the owner had gone bankrupt. They even allegedly moved from their plush offices in Westlands to a little corner past Kangemi. Things were thick in the Ghettuba forte.

We called up a representative from Spielworks to find out if this story was true and he rubbished the story as false, they are not going down .He added that’ There are people who want to tarnish our name but we shall prove them wrong.”

Ghafla also spoke to Dorothy who concurred with the previous statement by their representative emphasizing that the story was not true and Speilworks was working just fine.

Dorothy: Photo-Spielworks

Whew! I think we can all heave a sigh of relief, at least or favorite shows will stay on.

If you enjoy your daily dose of local programming especially on Citizen TV, I am sure you watched Sharon Mutuku in action.

She plays the ‘house girl’ Sophia in Mama Almasi’s Household in Machachari, a show that has become a hit with both the kids and adults.

A few months ago, we revealed to you that Sophia was heavy with child but no one got to see her beautiful baby. She recently unveiled her baby’s face on social media. Meet little Ivanna who is as adorable as Betty Kyalo’s Ivanna. Her name is of Hebrew origin and it means ‘Gift from God.’

Isn’t she cute?

Nyamira. A sombre mood engulfs the whole village after a baited search finally leads to a grave under a wooden bed in a grass-thatched hat in a remote area of the Gusii region county.

It is after their daughter went missing from their home and was rumoured to have been seen in the neighbourhood with a man believed to have eloped with her. But why was the daughter not seen around doing her chores?

This is what prompted her parents to start a search for the 21-year old lady. Foul play was suspected here after the accused man failed to explain the whereabouts of the newly married woman.

Police were informed of the incident and a man hunt began for the missing woman. It was after this prolonged search that fresh earth was discovered under the man’s bed.

A strange smell hinted that something was happening and the exhuming of the remains of the women began.

The whole village was taken aback when finally it was discovered the man had killed his 3-day wife.

Here is the video courtesy of K24:

All fashion aficionados know Joy Kendi, it’s hard to miss her really, she has spunk, style and is rebellious in her fashion ways.

An audacious winged eyeliner look and Septum piercing make her stand out from the crowd proving that she is not your usual fashion blogger and her blog Our Style Kenya is worth the click.

What makes her even more appealing is the fact that she does not splurge on her outfits, not that splurging is wrong, but she shows us that fashion is accessible and you do not have to troop into a high-end shop for the most stylish of outfits.

The little lady got a moment in the sun when she was featured on Wendy William’s show on BET. This was in her Instglam segment.

Jane Anyango aka Mama Sirkal Saidia is a well-known name in Kenya and probably the world over and it is a name associated with rains and floods in the country.

The Nyando mother of 8 is remembered for this mantra cry that she first made five years ago when floods engulfed the whole of Nyando district, submerging her house and carrying away her belongings.

Mama Sirkal Saidia made this famous cry to the government to help her after saying that water had carried her kids and husband away with chicken and almost everything.

Some went ahead to produce songs using this distress call, something that Jane finds demeaning and disrespectful.

But how has Mama Sirkal Saidia prepared herself for the coming rains after a prolonged drought hit the country?

KTN recently went back to Nyando to find out how she is doing with her family and if she has put measures in place to avoid the looming floods.

Unfortunately, Mama Sirkal Saidia is still at the same place where she cried from 5 years ago. She says that she has nowhere to go and that she would have moved because she does not want the same plague to befall her.

Sitting broodingly besides her husband whom she claimed was carried away by the floods, she explains how life has moved from bad to worse despite appearing on TV almost yearly with the same plight.

She tells KTN’s Frank Otieno that even her community almost attacked them after they appeared on TV and saw journalists throng their home, thinking that they were given money and other goodies.

Are we going to see the same distress cries from Mama Sirkal again when rains finally render the earth sodden with heavy torrents? Definitely yes because Nyando is the same year in year out.

The county government should put measures to avoid this.

In the battle of newspapers, Standard Newspaper and Nation often goes head to head as they are giants. But who between the two is truly King?

Well a new poll by GeoPoll, the world’s largest mobile survey platform revealed that Nation truly is king

Courtesy of: Robert Alai

On Sunday for example Nation has a reach of 5,141,000 while Standard reaches 1,478,000 million people. The Nairobian, a weekly newspaper known for the sauciest scandals and human interest stories still manages to outsell the Star which is a daily newspaper.

The People Daily a free newspaper also enjoys a wider reach every Sunday compared to the Standard whose cash cows are Wednesdays and Sundays.

But despite its wider reach as compared to its competitors and the fact that its available for ‘free’ Nation still beats it.However, it offers serious competition and it shouldn’t be ignored.

He commands a huge following on social media but when he made a blunder with his comment, his followers stepped aside as they watched vexed feminists tear him apart.

Probably he had no idea his comment on the journalist who was allegedly raped by Imenti Central MP could land him in a pit of blazing inferno.

But a day after he was trolled, Churchill decided to offer an explanation regarding his ‘insensitive’ post on social media.

The comedy king penned a heartfelt apology explaining how his comment was taken out of context. He explained he never meant to step on anyone’s toe with the remark humbly begging for forgiveness.

Check out his apology below:

APOLOGY

I want to apologize to my fans and public at large expressly and sincerely for my choice of words at my recent commentary that I used in my social media accounts of Facebook and twitter, on the 23rd March 2015.

On reflection I realize that the context used during my interpretation of the situation at hand was misunderstood, I’m not a hateful nor a chauvinistic person and don’t condone any kind of violence against others of any nature.

I can only imagine the hurt, distress, embarrassment, awkwardness I have caused and the damage that it has done to our relationship, in particular all the women that I adore and cherish.

I would try and offer an explanation for what I did, but there are no excuses. My intentions, though good, don’t matter here: only my poor choices of words. I absolutely take responsibility for the actions and the terrible pain I have caused you.

I have learned from my mistake of how a misstatement can sometimes gain momentum of its own and overshadow good intentions.

Poleni Sana.

Sincerely,

Daniel ‘Churchill’ Ndambuki
