Month: April 2015

We are still mourning the untimely and uncalled for demise of 147 innocent souls in the Garissa attack by Al Shabaab insurgents.

And even as we do so, families of the victims who have travelled from all parts of the country are having double trouble at the Chiromo Funeral Parlour as they wait to have the remains of their loved ones for burial.

The agony which they are going through at the moment is just unimaginable. Losing a loved one is not a walk in the park.

In addition to this, the families have gone for days without food and proper shelter as they wait for the identification of the bodies of those who perished in the Garissa massacre.

This is why the Red Cross has appealed to the public to come out and help those stranded at the Chiromo Funeral Parlour with anything they can even as they grieve for their loved ones.

Through the social media, the Red Cross has been that these families need urgent attention and Kenyans of goodwill should come out and help them.

This is the time Kenyans really need to come together to show their support at the time of need and agony.

Some people have guts.

I have used the term guts very loosely since what this lady did in Nakuru was beyond guts, it required more than guts or two bottles of whiskey to pull it off .

As you are all aware, Vera Sidika was at Nakuru over the weekend hosting the Nairobian’s Miss Bum Bum contest and one of the contestants really stood out. In a good way or bad way depending on how you look at it. Dressed in a thong and bra, the young girl seductively strutted on the runway, her massive behind exposed before twerking vigorously for the crowd who cheered wildly.

Police at the weekend arrested a man of Somali origin but based in Kenya suspected to be an agent of the Al-Shabaab militant group, Uganda’s Daily Monitor reports.

This came after students in one of the established East African University’s hostels alerted the police of a suspicious man taking photos of the hostel.

This comes after an attack on Kenya’s Garissa University College that left 148 people dead, majority of them being the institution’s students.

Al Shabaab has since claimed responsibility for Kenya’s second deadliest attack on its soil.

A police spokesman in Uganda told the paper that the suspect is being investigated for his suspicious actions.

“He was found with pictures of the hostel and several pictures of warfare, including one in which he held a human head,” the spokesman said.

The suspect had been vending expensive cologne and watches in the university from where he was picked.

“We want to find out from him why he had a particular interest in a students’ hostel given the intelligence we got that terrorists are interested in harming educational institutions and facilities,” the spokesman added.

While most celebs cannot wait to share their baby’s first photos Brenda Wairimu and Juliani have kept their private life under wraps.

But Brenda has decided to treat us with a rare photo of her daughter (Amor) . This is what she captioned the photo:
Haaaaaappy Three months Amor! I’m afraid if I start posting her pics, I just wont stop. #YouHaveBeenWarned

 

Kenya and the world is yet to come to terms with the reality that 147 innocent souls succumbed to the brutality of Al Shabaab terrorist who stormed Garissa University College Thursday and carried the heinous acts.

And as the country is mourning for its gone generation, the world has joined Kenya to remember the innocent victims whose mistake was to be in a wrong place to quench their thirst for education.

Universities across the globe are holding vigil for the 147 casualties; from Boston to Cape town, Harvard to Yale.

Kenyans in the diaspora have also teamed up to remember the victims.

Here are some photos and video from the vigils:

While Bahati cries foul over Willy Paul, the ‘Sitolia’ crooner really couldn’t be bothered.

He didn’t even bother to reply after Bahati accused him of stealing his songs and tainting his reputation and went ahead to spite him further by releasing Mapenzi, a song that Bahati claimed Willy Paul embezzled.

Despite the hostile response he received after releasing the song of contention, Willy Paul is out to promote his song, unapologetic and completely unfazed by the drama surrounding him.

This is what he wrote:

Mapenzi… New single on the streets… if you’ve not heard it then tafuta youtube. It’s my favorite so far… more music coming!!

 

Five suspects believed to be behind the deadly Garissa University attack that left 147 people dead were arraigned in court Tuesday.

The four are accused of supplying ammunition used to carry out the attack and also housed the four attackers who ambushed the university and massacred innocent students whose main mistake was to look for education to better their future lives.

Al Shabaab has since claimed responsibility for the deadly attack.

The court granted police 30 more days to investigate the suspects — Mohammed Adan Surow, Osman Abdi Dakane, Mohammed Abdi Abikar, Hassan Aden Hassan and Sahal Diriye Hussien — before any charges can be brought against them.

Police say they want more time to investigate a sixth suspect, Tanzanian national Rashid Charles Mberekesho, who is being held in Garissa. Mberekesho was found in the university premises hiding and when questioned he said he is a student in the university something the institution has denied.

This comes after University students across the republic gathered in Nairobi to demand for improved security from the government.

Here is a video showing the five suspects courtesy of NTV:

 

 

Hundreds of Nairobians yesternight gathered at Uhuru Park to remember the victims of last Thursday’s attack at Garissa University College who were killed by Al Shabaab terror group.

A somber mood descended on Uhuru Park last night as Kenyans from all walks of life assembled to remember the 148 victims of the bloodiest terror attack since the 1998 bombing of the US embassy that also robbed the country at least 200 people.

Majority of the slain victims from the Garissa attack were mostly innocent students pursuing their ambition with the hope of making a positive impact in the country. This even makes the whole incident bitter to swallow as most people can’t comprehend why someone can just open fire on unarmed students.

Most Kenyans who turned up at Uhuru Park were wearing black t-shirts and carrying flowers. Organizers unloaded white crosses from a truck and planted them in the ground.

A temporary shrine of crosses and candles was set up and photos of the 148 victims put on display. Mourners read names of some of the victims while holding candles on their hands before finally singing the national anthem.

The speculation that has engulfed us for quite some time now has finally turned into a reality after a promo ran on KTN announcing the arrival of one of Kenya’s finest and most experienced journalists.

It all started with the Presenter show where he was spotted in the panel of judges and this is where our speculation was born.

Months after tendering his resignation letter at Citizen TV where he established himself as the most coveted reporter, Alex Chamwada is finally returning to air with KTN years after he left the station for further studies abroad before returning to join Citizen.

In a promo ran by KTN last evening, Chamwada is expected to make a grand comeback to a station he worked for between 2004 and 2006.

Chamwada will appear on TV with a program KTN termed as The Diplomatic Narrative.

Ghafla Kenya had reported early on that there was a possibility that Chamwada would return to air with KTN after he was spotted among the panelists judging the Presenter Show.

Chamwada has also indicated through his social media accounts that he will be back with The Chamwada Report, a current affairs program that he runs himself. Is KTN the ultimate place where his show will be aired? We definitely believe so.

The veteran journalist has been traversing parts of the continent shooting and gathering content believed to be part of his yet to come show.

Chamwada is one of the most experienced journalists Kenya has ever seen and this explains why despite the fact that it is hard to appear on TV as a freelance journalist in Kenya, Chamwada is likely to find it easy to appear with his own show.

The return of Chamwada will definitely inject experience and institutional memory in KTN and Kenyan media at large.

However, Citizen TV is set to feel the pinch of losing one of its finest reporters to a direct competitor and the effects will definitely be manifested when the Chamwada legion dumps the RMS-owned TV station in favour of KTN.

Ghafla Kenya sort to know from the journalist himself what the Diplomatic Narrative will be all about but he declined to shed light on the same and told us to keep watching KTN.

It’s the midway to the weekend already! Tonight ladies are being celebrated so expect entertainment hotspots to be thronged by revelers. Bahati and Willy Paul continue to dominate headlines again; seems these two gospel singers can’t stop wobbling in people’s tongues. Beef in gospel industry, really??? What happened to the Christian teaching about forgiveness? Thought the two should know better. Anyway, crossing over to trendy stories, below are the most thrilling articles we have for you this beautiful Wednesday morning:

The three universities have shown their solidarity with Kenyans by doing the following:

 The University of Cape Town students held mass and prayed for the victims of the Garrisa attacks over the weekend. 

Nairobi University students held demonstrations in town today to mourn the fallen victims .

Eric couldn’t hold it no more, he has ultimately decided to unleash his tantrums to his fellow comedian, Chipukeezy, whom he accuses of stealing his gags.

So are jokes also copyrighted? At least that what majority of use have been made to think following Eric’s claim that his jests were stolen by fellow comedian, Chipu.

While majority of us were busy celebrating Easter Monday, Eric Omondo was skillfully sharpening his dagger ready to launch a surprise attack on Chipukeezy.

In a rant that took him 180 or so words to craft, the slender comedian accused his fellow humorist of stealing his Raila jokes among other things. Eric went on to shame Chipu by exposing his secrets to the public.

Oh my! Just realized Eric actually took all of us for a ride! Actually he was making fan of Bahati’s beef with Willy Paul with his stunt.

Sorry guys! Anyway below is the hilarious letter Eric sent out stripping Chipukeezy:

She sure knows how to make a statement just like her father. Salma Mbuvi will leave Team Mafisi salivating when they land their eyes on her in her hot bikini.

Mike Sonko’s first born daughter, Saumu Mbuvi doesn’t need introduction to Kenyans, her younger sister, Salma Mbuvi, may not be quite familiar like her elder sister but if she keeps on doing what she is up to, she may just win a first class ticket to limelight.

She is definitely a beauty worth lending your attention, I think she knows that too well that’s why she went on a mission of awakening all sleeping members of Team Mafisi.

The stunningly hot lass posted an eye-appealing photo of herself on social media flaunting her model-like body. She was dressed in a hot bikini. Damn! Viewers’ discretion is advised, the photo is too hot for your eyes!

Check it below:

Salvation seems to be working wonders in the life of once a revered socialite, Risper Faith. The lass is now walking a path that can be emulated by others.

When she announced she had seen the light, many took her words as mere stunt meant to attract the limelight that was slowly fading out on her.

But Risper was serious with her new stand, she wasn’t shaken by the demoralizing comments critics were flooding the internet with.

Her ‘new’ life landed her a job with Pink Girl Foundation; an organization that improves the lives of girls and women in all aspects of their lives; from education to maternal and child health.

Risper is now the brand ambassador of Pink Girl Foundation; she will be directly involved in the activities of the charitable organization.

Last Saturday, she made her way to Karen to spend time with kids from various Children’s homes across the city. The event was organized with the same organization she is currently working for.

Check out photos of Risper at the function below:

He was once a household name in Kenya in as far as wealth accumulation was concerned. At only 25, Heshan De Silva was worth thirteen figures; but is his wealth real or is it a case of exaggeration?

Hashan De Silva has inspired many by his story; he created billion shillings empire at a tender age. Totally impressive! As a matter of fact, his success can be best compared to that of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, who also stocked up billion at 20s.

 

                                          Hashan De Silva

But is Hashan really worth a billion shillings? Just last week, he was dropped by his PR firm, Glass House, after it accused him of dishonesty prompting the ‘billionaire’ to go underwater. The incident made folks label him a fake billionaire.

Larry caught up with Hashan to shed light on the unfortunate incident that befell the country’s youngest billionaire.

Asked what transpired with his PR firm, Hashan said the incident was blown out of proportion adding that his difference with the firm was a private affair and should have been treated so.

On the part of him being a billionaire, the lad revealed he wouldn’t flash out this wealth to prove he was still worth billions. He however hinted he could still be worth thirteen figures if all of his possessions could be sold.

 

 

Rabbit recently launched his fourth album “The Legend of Kaka” in an event that brought together all the movers and shakers in both gospel and secular music industries.

They include Abbas, Collo, Avril, Rap Damu, Kristoff, Kaligraph, Jimmy Gait, Bahati, Polycarp Fancy Fingers of Sauti Sol, Juliani and Brian Chweya of Elani, among others. In the wake of Garissa Attacks, the Kenyan music industry will need more of such inclusive events.

But how has Rabbit managed to become such a respected name in Kenya so fast?

First it’s his vast recordings. It’s rumoured that Rabbit has up to 100 mixtapes. Then there is his label Kaka Empire, which has signed several artists including Avril. Then his involvement in Coke Studio Africa season 2 is said to have played a big part, as meeting and working with artists like Wyclef Jean gave him new inspiration.

 

Watch one of the former Coke Studio Season 2 artist and Marlene (Mozambique) make their debut on Coke Studio Africa joined by four-time Grammy Award Winner and Macklemore trumpet player Owuor Arunga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B0eUTEVNmM Ligi Soo remains one of the best collaborations in the history of Coke Studio Africa.

 

Sources indicate that some of Rabbit’s artists from Kaka Empire will be featured in Coke Studio Africa new season 3, set to return in 2015.

 

Find attached some images of Kaka and his friends from the industry from the launch of the Legend of Kaka.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A viral photo showing Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko, hanging out with someone said to be Mohammed Abdirahim Abdullahi, an Al Shabaab gunman involved in the Garissa attack, has caused jitters among many who were duped into believing the legislator had befriended a terrorist.

Early today, one photo was trending on social media like a wild bush fire. The photo infuriated many who felt betrayed by their philanthropic law maker.

On the photo was the flamboyant Sonko posing with a man who was said to be Mohammed Abdirahim the terrorist. Kenyans couldn’t comprehend how one of their most loved politicians could come into contact with a man responsible for robbing the lives of innocent compatriots.

 

Mohammed Abdirahim is the man believed to be the mastermind behind Thursday’s Garissa University College massacre.

But this wasn’t the case; I mean the man on the photo with Sonko isn’t Mohammed Abdirahim. He is just the unlucky chap who was confused for a terrorist.

According to Kenya today, the Somali youth on the photo is Ahmed Nani Prince. He resembles the slain Al Shabaab commander but the two have nothing in common other than bearing similar facial attributes.

 

There you have it! Sonko wasn’t mingling with the bad guys, just a case of mistaken identity.

 

For a long time, Kenyans have had brain drain, where our well-trained, talented and smart people leave our country for greener pastures.

Now we have ‘girl drain’ where the eligible female celebs are increasingly favoring foreign men over our Kenyan counterparts. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, it’s just an observation.

First it was Emmy Kosgei, Then Amani, Then Vera Sidika, then Corazon Kwamboka and now former Tujuane host Yvonne Bulimo  has been snatched up.

She now confesses in a candid interview with Ghafla that she has a boyfriend, but he is not from our motherland.

Kenyan girls are infamous for engaging in wild nights of drunken debauchery. Not all of them but most of the die-hard party goers. The ratchet-apocalypse has swept the land and as a result we are always treated to wicked shows at events, parties and clubs. However, there are behaviors that our sisters just need to tone down because things are getting out of hand.

Wearing short skirts during cold season

The Hakuna Matata festival went down last Saturday and the climatic conditions were terrible. Despite all that, some ladies still found it appropriate showing up wearing their little sisters’ skirts. And they got what they deserved; leaving the Ole Polos premises with legs covered in thick mud. Some even saw their expensive heels sink into the matope like the Titanic. The casualties of dirt were many

Ladies, if it’s too cold just wear heavy clothing. A real man won’t hate you just because you didn’t display your long-legged beauty in horrible weather.   

Cockblocking

Ladies can be merciless c0ckblockers suffused with paranoia and pre-emptive defensiveness. You eye a pretty girl at an event, you approach her and woo her with all the verbal artillery you got. Then sh**t happens. Just as you are about to close the deal, her jealous BFF who hasn’t gotten laid in like 20 months sees you and immediately comes to her friend’s ‘rescue’. Ladies call it ‘watching out for each other’. Protecting themselves against mafisi. Guys call it c0ckblocking.  

Over-drinking, smoking too much sheesha and puking

I’ve never understood why some ladies keep drinking beyond their limits. It’s always an interesting site, seeing drunk ladies staggering around like zombies but the puking just sucks. Kindly regulate your alcohol intake. The sheesha intake too should addressed. Nowadays, party zones just look like factories in industrial area. Too much smoke in the air.  When the sheehsa smoke mixes with the weed smoke, even non-smokers get high by default.

Dancing like Jamaican women in passa passa

It’s disheartening to watch ladies throwing themselves around like Japanese geishas and displaying their panties all in the name of dancing.  Tone it down. They say ‘if she dances like a hooo, she’s probably a hooo.’ So why act all ratchet then expect to land a good guy at the end of the night? That’s simply wallowing in hypocrisy. You’ll just get the guy you deserve. Being ratchet isn’t what makes you a good dancer. Learn better moves and people will respect you more

Depending on a guy for everything

Some ladies go partying while depending fully on a guy they just met. They don’t have any money with them and they have no idea how they’ll get back home yet their expectations are as high as the Burj khalifa. These ladies put themselves on the high maintenance ladder. They want to taste every shot and they insist on a being ferried in a cab (if a brother doesn’t have a car). The most interesting part? The ladies end up paying for their reckless consumption. After the party, they  have to oblige to the guy’s every command after the party, even if it means spreading their legs at 180 degrees.
