Nigeria’s Music Mogul Jets Into The Country (Photos)

 

US Secretary Of State, John Kerry, isn’t the only high profile foreigner making his way into the country this May, Nigeria’s music pundit has also set foot in Nairobi.

He is Africa’s most sought after producer. Mike Ogoke or better known as Godfather touched down in Nairobi less than 48 hours ago.

Just to give you a hint of who the West African brother is, I will mention his work which is visible throughout the continent.

Nigerian videos dominate continental awards not because they are good with black magic but because of the great work of the like of Godfather.

Talk of good videos from Davido, Mafikizolo or even Jaguar, then one name is behind it all, Godfather.

The Nigerian is in Kenya to assist gospel singer, Papa Dennis, shoot a worthwhile video for his song.

Nope! NTV’s Richard Chacha Was Not Fired For Being ‘Crippled And Unproductive’ Here Is Proof (Photos)

 

‘Crippled and unproductive’ were the rather unkind reasons given by Kahawa Tungu over Richard Chacha’s alleged firing.

The blog ran by Robert Ali who is usually on the top of things claimed that Chacha who was left incapacitated from the waist down after a 2012 accident alongside General Manager Linus Kaikai had been fired by Kikai.

But Chacha has taken to social media to counter these claims using a post and a few pictures, after all a picture is worth a thousand words.

Richard Chacha: Hey guys, I am still at work… I will let you know if and when I am leaving

Forget Supplements, These Are The 3 Things That Have Helped Nazizi Lose Weight And Look Adorable!

Sensational and veteran Kenyan female rapper Nazizi Hirji is a totally different person after embarking on a mission that saw her completely change from the old Nazizi to a brand new one.

Dreadlocks and plus size are no longer her things.

Recently I attended the recently concluded Maisha Superstar reality show and among the judges on the bench was Nazizi.

Seated pensively close to the edge of the bech, Nazizi looked stunningly striking. Nice cool and soft natural hair on her head complementing a very smooth, young and lively face, Nazizi was a complete definition of transformation.

I hadn’t recognized her at first until when I gazed at the striking beauty beaming from among the bench sitters.

Well, all this was achieved thanks to three important things.

Nazizi has rubbished claims that she has been using supplements to reduce weight and look more stunning and adorable.

Instead the singer has gone ahead to reveal what she has been doing to keep herself healthy and fit. Three things have helped her be who she is today. They are:

Flamboyant Jaguar Reveals Where He Gets His Immense Wealth From. Is It Drugs?

In Kenya when you have a whopping amount of wealth that most people can’t explain its source or claim it’s from ‘businesses’ you are faced with many accusations.

You are referred to as a socialite, conman, Illuminati, consultant of a witchdoctor or in some cases you are accused of owning drug money.

And the latter is what Jaguar was accused recently following his selection into the NACADA board. Word on the street was that he was selected so as to protect his interests as a ‘drug lord’ and Larry addressed the elephant in the room during Jaguar’s interview on the Trend.

Jaguar denies selling drugs claiming that he has had a drug problem and he has seen the dire effects of drug abuse…so drug trade for him is a no-no.

So where does he get his money from Larry prods? Jaguar says that he worked hard and that is why he can afford the affluent standards of. He owes his wealth to music and ‘other things’…but not selling drugs.

Watch the interview below:

Senator Mike Sonko Never Stepped Aside As He Announced Early On. This Is What Has Been Happening

It was in early April when President Uhuru Kenyatta tabled an EACC report in parliament, a report that implicated quite a number of government officials including elected leaders in a corruption scandal that has taken this country back in terms of development and service delivery.

Among those in the list was Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko who was adversely mentioned in the list alongside a cabinet secretary.

Sonko subsequently announced that he had stepped aside as Nairobi Senator to pave way for investigations into the saga. This followed president Uhuru’s request that those mentioned pave way for investigations.

But as things are turning out, Sonko never stepped down.

In fact his request to the Senate Assembly Speaker Ekwe Eturo to allow him step aside was turned down. The senate was told yesterday that Sonko is still in office because his request was rejected by the senate speaker.

Here is the letter Sonko wrote to the speaker:

sonko

The speaker declined the request on what he said is a flaw in the law which does not indicate where an elected senator should step aside to allow investigations.


An Open Challenge To All Kenyan Fashion Bloggers! Lets See Who Will Be The First To Wear This (photos)

I have heard this term for the umpteenth time today, that Sheer, is the new black! I agree. Sheer is the new everything, it is the new black, the new sexy, the new elegant , In-fact Sheer is my new trend. 

 I bet you were all baffled if not blown away by Beyonce’s gown at the Met Gala 2015. Was it not, errm , for lack of a more suitable term “surreal?” But sheer is not a last night thing. According to history, Sheer has evolved overtime and can be dated back to the 3000B.C – ISee, Jesus was not even born then  lest you start lecturing on morality. I can speak most certainly therefore, that, Hellene of Troy and Cleopatra of Greece gained worldwide renown by rocking sheer! 

Sheer was first made into stockings and has over the ages evolved into more pronounced  forms, the dresses and gowns. More like a full body stocking, albeit one that covers the sensitive regions. Beyonce and Kim Kadarshian chose sheer for the 2015 Met gala, and of-course broke the internet. So why haven’t our ladies taken this trend to heart? Fear of ridicule from the more “righteous section of humans who purport to be moral gods?”

CEOwQw6WgAALVuC.jpg

Uhm we can all see that Kim Kadarshian outdid Beyonce (queen Bey for you) at the sheer, despite Beyonce being obviously classier than Kim. When they chose sheer, Beyonce wen’t all the way, hers was more revealing than Kim’s and that probably made it  the look of the night if you ignore the Duvet that Rihanna dragged to the red carpet. 

thumb-650_050515113406.jpg

Rihanna’s Illogical  dress that looked like an omelette and has been the butt of all odd jokes on social media since the gala night. 

Back to sheer. 

It would be interesting to see Kenyan ladies rock the new look . Especially our glorified fashion bloggers. while at it, it would be important to note that Beyonce Was not the first to rock the sheer. Here are more breathtaking sheer moments:

Larry Madowo Defends Jaguar After He Was Trolled For Having ‘Bad English’

Jaguar was recently on the Trend following his rather controversial appointment as a NACADA board member.

But it seems that Kenyans were more interested in eth language he spoke rather than what he had to say. And as usual, Kenyans had a lot to say about this, most of them positive others negative.

And Larry had a thing or two to say about the gegative reaction Jaguar received. here is an excerpt from  his Daily Nation Column:

Some viewers automatically assume those that can’t speak fluent English are dumb and are an embarrassment to their jobs, craft or their families.
I saw it again last week when I interviewed the new National Authority for Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada) director Charles Njagua Kanyi.

A flashy-musician-turned-State-House-insider, Mr Kanyi is at his best in the languages he sings in — a mixture of Kiswahili and Sheng. But some viewers were not impressed.

“How can the president appoint someone without a degree who can’t even speak proper English?” the naysayers posed.
It is the same mentality that teaches impressionable young ones growing up that you’re not good enough unless you can speak impeccable English.
That colonial mindset has relegated Kiswahili to a secondary language and bred a generation of Kenyans who struggle to speak their own national lingua franca. ..

If You Thought This_is_Ess’ Proposal Gave Men a Run For Their Money, Think Again! This Celeb Proposed to His Girlfriend in a Club!!

The Master mind behind Phoenix Recordz, Brian proposed to his girlfriend at Ebony Lounge during the Phoenix Night. The Club was full!! Only a guy with guts can propose in public.

Brian Okemo son of former Finance Minister Hon Chris Okemo is the brains behind Phoenix Recordz.

Brian aka Flash Phoenix schooled at Saint Mary’s, Strathmore and ended his high school years in Cardinal Otunga high school Kisii.

Throughout his formative years Music was at his core where he started emceeing and developed on to djing. Mentoring under Mike Rabar of Homeboyz, he used his opportunities as a Dj to emcee at parties.

Together with Alph Rabar and Victor Okanga they formed a Dj unit called Karizma and that was his entry into the Kenyan music business in 1992.

He then flew to Birmingham England to study engineering at the University of Central England in Birmingham and also began learning more about what it took to be in the music industry. There he worked with producers such as Papa Dennis for the legendary group  Musical Youth who help develop his first single with U.K artists Nero and Longazz in a group called Down Impact. With the group they did shows around the U.K which gave them the opportunity to meet and audition for UB40. Unfortunately Hip Hop was not what they were looking for at the time and that passed.

After completing his studies Brian returned back to Kenya to enter the Kenyan coporate world working as Operations Director in the Coffee Export business. Music called him back a few years later first as a manager then building into a Record label over 7 years.

The proposal was so sweet! Brought tears to my eyes in envy!

Here’s a clip of what transpired

Kenya’s Top Female Rapper Loses Her Mother

 

The country is mourning the death of a mother to one of the finest female rapper in the 254. Gloria Mecheo popularly known as Xtatic has been bereaved.

It’s hard coming to terms with the loss of our loved ones, death is the epitome of pain and the worst thing is that there is no antidote for it.

Xtatic is at her lowest moment in her life, losing a mother is a tragedy that you don’t just snap out of it like that.

She took to the social media to announce the sad news to her fans. It’s still not known what caused the death of the mom.

The entire Team Ghafla! express our sincere condolences to Xtatic and her entire family for the big loss. May the good Lord guide you through this trying moment in your lives!

This Is What Awaits Sauti Sol And Jaguar Following Their Exploits Over The Last One Year

Sauti Sol is a household name not only in Kenya but also in Africa as a continent and beyond thanks to the new level the group of four has taken the Kenyan music industry. Their singing mojo and talent has landed them major nominations and a major award which they scooped last year.

Like that is not enough, Sauti Sol has released hit after another, catapulting them further into stardom and greatness at the greatness of other artistes whose careers are gradually plummeting thanks to lack of effort and dedication to their work.

Jaguar on the other hand is one of the fastest rising stars in the music industry in Kenya today and his singing ability coupled with his philanthropic nature have seen him land goodies after goodies.

The latest was an appointment by the head of state to be a board member to NACADA, an anti-drug agency.

Away from all this, Sauti Sol and Jaguar have once again landed nominations for prestigious Tanzanian awards.

The two are on their way to yet more accolades in the Kilimanjaro Awards held annually in Tanzania.

Sauti Sol’s Sura Yako hit is the song that has landed them the nominations while Jaguar’s Kioo saw him make to the list.

Voting begins today.

Dear Rabbit, Your Music Has Become More Horrible Than Ever,…Whenever I Listen To It, I Feel Sick…. And Here’s Why

This article is all about raising the middle finger to you Rabbit. I won’t sugarcoat anything. You used to be a great rapper but now whenever I listen to your music, I want to die. Trust me, it’s that horrible. Your music is abominable in a way nothing else is, and it’ll take a keen hip hop head only 30 seconds of listening to find that out.

You no longer rap. You just sing and talk in songs. Your delivery no longer sounds fun and powerful, just sealed-up and airless. Are you tired or something? Eat ugali, it helps. You’ve simply sold your soul to the commercial devil. Not to say that going all commercial is a bad thing. Octopizzo has done the same thing while still maintaining his real hip hop mcee image. He doesn’t try to sing like Ali Kiba in order to touch a different market. Money is a good thing but when money dilutes content, objection cannot be submerged.  

The more you’ve become famous, the more you’ve changed. Your ego manages to ruin other people’s songs as well. To tell you the truth, you really spoilt that ‘Baadaye’ song by Amos and Josh. It could have been one of the duo’s best songs. Amos’ verse is poignant, while Josh’s verse is a revelation. The song should have ended there, but then when it was your turn to spit something noteworthy, you just ended up talking like a guy chewing mogoka at some corner in Pangani while listening to Mbusii and Lion.

I haven’t even started. Today I’ll be the judge, jury and executioner in the case of Hip Hop fans versus Kaka Sungura.

Rabbit, your last good song was Kichinjio. After some upcoming rappers talked trash about you, you read all that as an invitation to go all out.” We are going all out bishes, ALL OUT”. That was your mantra. You put a couple of ninjas in their place and I was amazed. All hip hop heads were amazed. The unanimous decision was that no one could recover from that. But then you made a mistake. You attacked Johnny Vigeti. A lot of people don’t know much about Vigeti but if it wasn’t for guys like him, there would be no hip hop in this country. He thrived in Ukoo Fulani Mau Mau. Then you diss him. Who disses a legend. It’s like Meek Mill dissing Nas. N***gga please.

Kichinjio was one hell of a track but then immediately after that you went on to release a track that went something like, “nyama leta…..change leta….mdodo mdogo.” Dude….WTF? You are trying to dip your foot in everything and that’s where you’ll lose. You were instrumental to the growth of hip hop and now you are killing it? We won’t allow you. I won’t allow you. I remember your breakout track ‘Betty’ where you featured the talented Harry Kimani. It was a masterpiece. It was pure gold. Then there were tracks like ‘Niko kwa jam nakam’, ‘Mtu Hivi Hivi’ and Sitaki Kukuona’. Dope tingz. Nowadays all we get is Rabbit featuring Mavoko, Rabbit featuring Sudi or even Rabbit featuring Helicopter church choir. You complain so much about presenters not playing enough Kenyan music yet you are the same person who tries so hard to release radio friendly songs.

You call yourself King Kaka, who appointed you king? What are you King of? You even managed to copy the whole concept of your song ‘Twende’ from Diamond’s ‘Kesho’. Utter nonsense at its best. Where did your creativity go to? Frankly, you need a whupping.

I heard you don’t do cyphers. You were approached for a game-changing cypher and you refused. Which rapper doesn’t do cyphers? There’s an old maxim that says. arrogance is the sister of shenanigans. Eminem does cyphers, Kanye does cyphers, Kendrick does cyphers, J.Cole does cyphers, even Africa’s finest rapper Sarkodie does cyphers. Who are you? Are you afraid of being outdone? Oh I get it. You want to preserve your image as a singer. You can as well join Sauti Sol. I doubt they’ll take you though. They value quality

king kaka

Rudi kuvaa ile kofia ya white ulikua unavaa kitambo buda. You were better off with it. Perhaps it was your good luck charm. Back in the day when you were a minor and often despised fringe player in the industry, you were humble. I met you several times. Nowadays you don’t even look at fans when you talk to them.

What you don’t realize and what your acolytes don’t have the heart to tell you is that you have arrived into this sad space largely through your own design. You’ve turned yourself into a villain. You might be bigger right now than you’ve ever been but you’re also more mediocre than you’ve ever been.

You even destroyed Sage’s career. Ever since you broke her heart, she’s been unable to produce good music anymore. How sad. Woiyee. But this isn’t about Sage. This is about your music. Yes your music reeks of a lack of progression and an air of complacency. Whenever I hear that Rabbit has released a new song, my heart dips further into melancholy

Rap fanatics fear that the guy they’ve loved for so long has fallen off, but it’s time to face facts. You were never really on Rabbit. Your recent album went from conception to shelves in about two weeks, illustrating your career-long tendency to rush out songs that aren’t art. No one even remembers that you released an album.

It’s great to hype things up but it’s a crime to hype ‘nothings’ up. Your album was nothing. Remove the pre-release bells and decorated star-studded launches, take the music in a vacuum and you’ll discover the following – despite a promising start, your album may just be the most uninspiring, plodding piece of work in Kenyan history

Listen kaka Sungura, stop producing shitty music for the sake of reaching larger markets. Either step up or step out. I can decide to fill this page with p0rn pictures instead of writing this article. It’ll get more views. Even an Al Qaeeda operative somewhere in a cave in Afghanistan might view the page. Will that make me a better writer? Hell no. Catch my drift? .Quality always outweighs quantity. Take your time and release good music. Be true to yourself . Don’t serve us with constant breadcrumbs.. Serve us with slices full of butter.

Arrivederci!!!

 

Seriously Where Is Kenyan Music Headed To? Check Out These Leaked Ratchet Photos Of Mustafa That Ghafla! Stumbled Upon (PHOTOS)

Colonel Mustafa is one of the veteran musicians in the 254 who knows A-Z rules about the game. But this time round he hit the epitome of ratchetness with what he did.

Mustafa is not new to controversies, he has hit headlines a number of times for not so good reasons. And he is about to wobble on people’s tongues again for smearing poop on the acceptable societal morals.

It’s been a century since Mustafa last dropped an anthem, the ‘Lenga Stress’ hit maker is keen to make a thunderous comeback with a jam that will make everyone shift their attention to him.

Remember Blaqy with his ‘Money Maker’ or Rajayjay’s ‘Pombe Bangi’? Well, Mustafa is going the same route with his new song dubbed ‘Dodoma’.

The song isn’t out yet but it’s already causing tremors. The video in specific is the one that will rub many people the wrong way.

They say there is nothing like bad publicity, If this is true then Mustafa’s action is justified in the context that the end justifies the means.

Ghafla! happened to come across ratchet photos of behind the scene video shoot for ‘Dodoma’.

Team Mafisi will probably love to sink their eyes in these photos but to others they will be a turnoff because of the nudity factor.

So for these reason, we have sampled a few photos that don’t show too much skin, one which some lass was flaunting her butt on the face of Mustafa. (Sorry guys, company policy doesn’t allow us to share nude pictures.)

Check out the photos on the next page:

Late Kaberere’s Wive Evokes Memories Of The Singer With This Heart-Wrenching Message

 

The country and the gospel fraternity was thrown into limbo when news of the sadden, untimely and heart-breaking demise of the gospel music maestro Kaberere littered the air.

It was one of the darkest days in the history of the gospel fraternity as Kaberere’s demise caught many unawares.

To date, many still wonder why the talented singer had to live so early, leaving behind frustrated fans and a young family that depended on him.

But the late Kaberere’s wife, Njeri, knows where it aches most with the fact that her husband is nowhere to be seen.

Njeshi wa Kabbz as she is popularly known has lamented that her husband is not around to give her the comfort she deserves especially at this time that she is not feeling well.

Njesh is probably battling poor health at the moment and such things remind her of the loving husband she had.

Her message on Instagram tells exactly what she is going through at the moment. The message has evoked memories of Kaberere and fans of the late singer have been remembering their idol and wish Njesh all the best.

Here is what she posted:

kabererere

 

A time like this when am unwell @qaberere would have spoilt me bad with soups and fine delicacies…His ring was inscribed *Apple of my eye*…even though he left I know am the Apple of God’s eye…God used him to speak to me..#alwaysmyMCM

Bahati Adopts Two More Children (PHOTOS)

Gospel wonder kid, Bahati, is taking his parental obligations a notch higher by adding two more children to his care. The singer is now a proud daddy to three kids.

Having gone through hell while he was still growing up, Bahati has opted to put a smile on the faces of other underprivileged kids by taking them into his care.

The obvious question lingering in our minds is how on earth he will be a parent to three kids and he is not only single but a vibrant youngster who has a lot to learn. (He is in his earlier 20s.)

But these odds doesn’t seem to be tickling ‘Lover’ hit maker, he has set his mind on giving his children whatever little he can afford to lay his hands on.

You all know his son Morgan, the one he has been flaunting all over the social media for all eyes to see. Well, the Bahati decided to bring Morgan two sisters to be playing with him.

He adopted 4-year-old Purity and 10-year-old Rose. These kids are the reason why Bahati is now upping his hustling game to make sure they always get bread.

It’s Never Easy but I try to be the Best Parent they have Ever seen. Saaasa Ni Nani ananiombea Nipate Mama wakuwalea????

I want A Woman To Take Care Of My 2 Daughters and Son, Gospel Artiste Says

 

A partner ‘in crime’ or rather a partner in life makes one very complete and contented. This explains why most of us would die to have one of our own. Not because society demands us to do so but because it is accepted by the Holy books and it gives one that very particular advantage over those who don’t have one.

However, not all people enjoy having someone in their lives. Others chose to remain single and enjoy it to the fullest.

For Gospel wonder kid Kevin Bahati, a partner would come in handy at this time thanks to what he has embarked on.

Bahati revealed yesterday that he has become a father yet again after adopting two more children from children’s home.

The singer who was himself raised in ABC Children Home and knows everything that such kids go through says that he is proud to have more children because it is his obligation to do so.

Bahati says he knows the two young girls, 4 and 10 years old, he has adopted had a more difficult life than his and would love to give them a better life.

Bahati had early on adopted a young handsome boy, Morgan Bahati, with whom he has lived happily.

But Bahati says that he now needs a woman to help him raise the three nice kids. He has asked his fans to pray for him so that he finds one who will take good care of them as they grow up.

He said:

Sonko’s Daughter Cruises Around The City In A Convoy Of High-End SUVs

You may mistake her entourage to that one of a top politician, Salma Mbuvi is already taking after her dad’s ornateness.

Like father like daughter! When it comes to flamboyance, Mike Sonko is the king. He is a politician yet his ostentatiousness is widely admired by artists who can’t keep up to his standards.

His daughter, Salma Mbuvi, is no different, all those who frequent the social media will tell you the teen is in her own league.

Actually it’s not Sonko and Salma alone that love making tongues talk by showing off their possessions, the whole family has a thing for flamboyance.

While for most of us a ride around the city means using a Matatu, taxi or better your own personal vehicle, for Salma it’s a convoy of classy SUVs.

Celebrated Milele FM Queen Jumps To The Defence Of Controversial Bill Defaulter Laura Oyier. Here Is What She Said About Her

 

Laura Oyier became a household name in Kenya early this year when she was arraigned in court for failing to pay a hefty bill accumulated at the Hotel Intercontinental after enjoying her stay there.

The bill was estimated at KES 230,000 which according to the posh hotel’s management, the defaulter had refused to pay even after receiving top of the table services.

It was Radio Africa Group and specifically Kiss 100 that jumped to the rescue of the ‘bleached’ controversial woman and cleared the bill.

Barely months after the first incident, it was reported that Laura had once again failed to pay her bills at the Kempinski Hotel the other day. Bills amounting to close to 5,000 shillings after enjoying her drinks at the lavish hotel.

Laura strongly came out to deny the allegations and said that she has enough money to clear her bills and that she does not do things without plan.

And now celebrated Milele FM presenter, Massawe Jappani, has jumped to the defense of the controversial woman, telling her fans to ignore everything they hear and read about Laura.

Massawe was hanging out with Laura and it seems she learnt a lot from her to jump to her defense.

She said:

massawe

 

With the controversial Laura oyier! All I have to say, don’t beleive everything you read..She pays her own bills!!!

 

 

CABU GAH DIARIES: 6 Kenyan Male Celebrities Who Would Definitely Pull Off A Sex Change…And Look And Act Completely Like Women.

Bruce Jenner,Kim Kardashian’s step-father ,has opened the doors. And,in that ground-breaking interview,announced that he had bid adieu to his male self…And was now venturing into new waters…the female waters. The World,at first,was shocked,but not sooo shocked. I mean, this was Bruce Jenner.

Bruce truly broke the internet… unlike his fame-hungry daughter who also tried to break the virtual world. And failed. Despite that photo. Ouch.

Bruce,in an interview that stopped the World for some 2 hours,came out as a woman. And told America-and the World at large-that he was a Woman. Despite living his life as a man. An athletic, macho man for a beautiful 65 years.

And fathering close to ten children. With three women all of whom he married-and divorced. Amicably, at least.

Bruce’s bold announcement emboldened the weak, opened doors and chapters, elicited debates, inspired activists and proved to be a turning point for America’s-and the World’s-struggle with NOT just accepting but also understanding Transgender people.

Bruce,a man who had,for all his illustrious life,dotted by many medals and innumerable appearances on American Television for many nights, lived as a model MAN and as a babe-magnet,shocked the World by deciding to have a sex change.

There were no signs…But,according to him,he’d been a woman all his life.. And that’s the greatest story that the famous Karsadhian Family was supposed to be telling. Or attemting to do. As opposed to the nonsense that the family has been showing the World for years. And years.

Enough with the Bruce sentimentalism, let’s go straight into what I brought you here for.

Here’s a LIST of some male Kenyan Celebrities who would definitely pull off a sex change. And be perfect Women.

Why? Well,maybe because of how they talk,how they dress,their general mannerisms,their affinity-and association-to and with women,their preferred hair styles,manner of speech,feminine touch and several other issues.

Come with me…And let’s do this. Shall we? But of course!

1. ERIC OMONDI

Eric’s one of Kenya’s most popular comedians. But not the funniest. Or even the second funniest. The lanky comic,whose recently grown really close to the hair-raising Diamond Platnumz,East Africa’s Prince Of Music,is one Kenyan male celebrity whose never hidden his feminine side. He may have done it all as his duty to comedy..and as a way to eke out a living but still,he pulls off feminine roles so seamlessly it’s so easy to imagine him as a woman. And envision him being one.

Eric’s donned wigs for years now. He’s had his nails done,he’s had layers of make-up applied on his scrawny face,he’s been painting his lips scarlet for years and he’s worn female regalia for years now. Eric,really,would be the perfect man to transition to a woman. And he’d do quite a job!

Changing Eric’s skinny frame into that of a desirable woman,however,would be the greatest challenge…Because even though he’d make a perfect woman,given his natural ability to simply pose and behave as one,he’s still be one helluva unattractive one. What with that body. And those tu-biceps. And arrrgghhh,that stuttering voice! Good luck kissing Eric…as a woman. And oh,what would be his name? As woman? Susan Wamaitha. Perfect!

2. JEFF KOINANGE

He’s been experimenting with hair glo for how many years now? 50? And lip gloss? Boy,Jeff would be so at home as a woman. But that voice obviously would say NO. I mean,a gigantic woman with a booming voice is the last thing You want to wake up next to n a rainy Sunday morning. A hefty woman with a voice as deep as Jeff’s is seriously that last woman you want to walk up at some packed,downtown party. She’d be an amazon. And she’d swallow your little ass at the spot.

But thanks to this impeccable sense of style,manicured nails,gelled hair,glimmering lips,that smile and devil-may-care flamboyance,Jeff would really make some woman. Quite some woman. Not very sexy though. Haha. But fun to date…And even funnier to break up with. His name? Veronicah Nduta. Cute.

3. MAINA KAGENI

Maina’s actually a woman already…theoretically speaking. I mean,whose been having women’s back for the last decade in this town? Maina,of course! He’s the unofficial Voice Of Women And,brother,the brother does quite a job at representing them,standing by them,standing up for them and decoding them.

And don’t they love him? Like hell they do! He’s them. And they’re him.

Would we be shocked if he has a sex change? And transitioned into a woman? NEVER! After all,haven’t we all been waiting for this day? Of course we have.

Maina,though,would be some really pesky woman. And he’d be hard to marry. Or tame. But fun to date. Oh,very much fun! Plus,he’d be paying all the bills…I mean,Who doesn’t like a woman who pays bills? As for his fashion sense? Hmmm,worst dressed woman ever! His name? Agnes Mukami. Eat that.

4. NICK MUTUMA

Do we even need to explain why here? With that sort of smile,You should have boobs already…..

(CLICK NEXT PAGE TO SEE THE REST OF THE LIST)


5. IAN MUGOYA

Again,do we even have to explain why here!!?

6. KEVIN MWANGI

Kevin Mwangi is the man you all know as Shaniqua,the super popular socialite known for her antics on the popular KTN Television show,Jameni. Shaniqua,though a woman,does such a good job at being a woman,he should officially be one already! As a man,Kevin Mwangi is quite the macho man…with all the male thrill and testosterone that ges with it. But wait until he transition into a woman for the TV show,and,BOOM! All the manhood seeps away…He becomes quite the drama mama…His make-up,nails,wigs and voice totally marry into womanhood. Kevin would have the most successful-and laudable-sex change in Kenya! No arguments about that. His name? Shaniqua,of course!

7. IAN MBUGUA

Ian’s notoriety at putting down people,pulling attitudes, dismissing people and expressing disgust at stuff that doesn’t appeal to him was cemented by that defunct TV show Tusker Project Fame.

Ian would sneer at contestants,pull faces,proudly shake his head in disapproval, twist his neck,scowl and flip his fingers in the exact way and style a woman would.

If Ian didn’t like You,he’d pull out his true feminine side to let You know..And,brother,he can really reaallllly intimidate. His manner of talking,too,is all woman. Especially when making mean,heartless statements.

His pride and ego and arrogance would work best with women…And that’s why he is in this list. He wouldn’t make a beautiful woman,though. Or a fun one. He’d be troublesome,hard to deal with,keep up with or impress. And,I don’t know,but I think he’s the type that would keep You waiting for years before letting you eat that cookie. His name? Ummmm,Martha Kagendo. Not very sweet. Just like the woman.

And wait,which man even poses like that for studio photos?? Martha Kagendo priiiiissss!

8. LARRY MADOWO

He has an attitude,loves taking selfies,giggles like a woman,can get real cocky,catches feelings,is rumored to be proud and self-absorbed,loves traveling,loves photos and loves gossip.

I mean,do You need more reasons why Larry would really really make a woman? Man,he’s already one! Haha. His female name? Catherine Akoth. He’d be hard to get,though. And one of the most difficult tu-sichanas you would ever come across.

BONUS:

TONNY NDUNG’U

Tonny’s not exactly a celebrity. But he writes for a website that NOT only makes but also breaks celebrities at will(Ghafla). Tonny first flirted with the feminine world last year during the popular “My Dress My Choice” City campaigns which culminated in a city march that saw thousands of women-and Men-come out in support of women’s free will to dress as they wished.

Tonny,around that time,wore a dress. A tight-fitting ka-dress that divided opinion on social media. And elicited quite a conversation.

Here’s the dress…..And this dress alone is why Tonny would make it as a woman. This dress alone. Nothing else. Oh,and that pose Gai Fafa.

Niggas be thirsty…But Ewwwww

 

Suspended Citizen TV’s Top Cream Goes Back On Air

Late last month, Kenya’s most watched TV station was struck with a scam that dented its well manicured reputation in the face of the public. Citizen TV responded by suspending the individuals involved in the fraudulent scheme.

The country woke up to the sad news that revered Citizen TV Swahili anchor, Swaleh Mdoe, Mwanahamisi Hamadi and other underdogs at the station had received bribe from a top politician to mow down a story.

See also: EXCLUSIVE: Swaleh Mdoe, Mwanahamisi Hamadi And Several Other Journalists Suspended By Citizen TV After Being Involved In Mega Corruption

The ten day suspension period has since elapsed and Swaleh Mdoe has made his way back on the news desk with his ‘Tafakari La Babu’ teaser.

swaleh.jpg

It seems Swaleh was found not guilty by the task force that was investigating his alleged involvement in media malpractice.

Word had it that if it was proved that the said individuals were involved in taking bribe, they were to be shown the door.

You can now catch up with Swaleh from 7 PM on Nipashe if you missed him or rather if you are his fan!

Citizen TV And NTV Expose The Barbaric GSU Officers Who Brutally Beat Up Their Journalists (Video)

 

Footage showing how GSU officers turned into monsters and launched surprise attack on journalists has popped up. What transpired on that fateful day is now in public sphere.

On April the 18th, Citizen TV and NTV journalists travelled to Tana River County to check on locals who had claimed to be attacked by wild GSU officers.

While addressing the press after the horrific Tana River incident, the Cabinet Secretary for Internal Security and Coordination of National Government, Joseph Ole Nkaissery, and the Inspector General of Police, Joseph Boinett, maintained that the two journalists attacked by GSU officers had provoked them.

But the footage captured during the incident tells a different story altogether. The vicious officers pounced on Nehemiah Okwembah (Nation journalist) and Rueben Ogachi (Citizen TV cameraman) without a notice.

The footage clearly shows the GSU officers pulling the driver out of the car and descending on him with their rungus. The two journalists were also not spared, they suffered the same fate that befell their driver.

Eric Omondi Has Clearly Won The Hearts Of The Diamonds. See What Zari Hassan Said About Him

Eric Omondi has been one of the most consistent and up-to-date comedians in the country and beyond, and his genius in comedy and entertainment has seen him receive plaudits and accolades from far and wide.

He even made a big name for himself when he ventured into music, doing remixes of famous and adored songs done by great musicians.

The day he remixed Shari Martin’s Rafiki Pesa using Diamond Platinumz Number One beats is the day the whole of East Africa knew that the Kenyan comedian meant business and his relationship with Diamond was on the right course.

It followed with the welcoming of Diamond’s wife, Zari Hassan to Nairobi when she visited the country early April for the Art of Luxury event at the posh Skylux Lounge.

And just the other day Eric was in Tanzania for the Zari All White Party, a party hosted by the Diamonds. Eric was a special guest here because he was invited to share the stage with East Africa’s finest singer, Diamond Platinumz.

Diamond himself showered praise on Eric, telling the crowd how he is the top ten best comedians in Africa. The cloud roared in appreciation.

And now it is Diamond’s wife, Zari who is returning plaudits for the Kenyan comedian.

Zari has posted a photo of herself with Eric on her instagram account and below it is a heart-warming caption telling her followers how Eric is the funniest man she has ever met.

She said:

eric

zarithebosslady Funniest man ive met…. @ericomondi

This will clearly catapult Eric into more fame and appreciation.

Check Out Teacher Wanjiku’s Adorable Look Without Her Nauseating Dress and Hairstyle (Photos)

Countable members of Team Mafisi would salivate for the Teacher Wanjiku we used to see on TVs. But have you seen the pretty Teacher Wanjiku, one without her signature look?

Teacher Wanjiku vs Caroline Wanjiku, who between the two will cause most heads to turn? If you still don’t get the gist of the statement then you know nothing about the comedian.

Teacher Wanjiku and Caroline is just one person with two different personalities; the obvious difference being beauty, one is prettier than the other.

Ever since she rose to prominence, folks have been accustomed to her unique look; afro and a pink dress with black spots all over.

To say the truth, that bone-chilling look of Teacher Wanjiku is a turn off that even Team Mafisi can’t digest, less they are in serious dry spell.

wanjikulove-18.jpg

But did you know Teacher Wanjiku is only masquerading as a nottie while she is a hottie in reality, to some extent.

She decided to share her ‘decent’ photo, one that will compel you to take a second gaze at it for you to properly identify her.

Despite ‘Nerea’,A Top Gospel Artiste Facilitates The Abortion Of His Unborn Child!

 

When Sauti Sol hit us with the hit ‘Nerea,a huge National debate was born…From radio to TV to Twitter,The Question was; To Abort Or Not To Abort? Well,that debate seems to have not deterred some would-be abortionists to exercise their clandestine activities.

Abortion is legal. Or illegal. Depending on who You are,what gender you are or,in some cases,what you had for lunch. But to a top Kenyan Gospel artiste,who,just a couple years ago,headlined the popular Safaricom Live Tours and is also a staple in almost all Groove Tours,Abortion is something that he can pull off as easily as he,ummm,wades in and out of controversies with ease.

According to a clinic attendant at a Clinic in Buruburu,the Gospel artiste,whose known for his flamboyance,catchy songs,swanky outfits and close affinity to Gospel DJs in Kenya,walked into a private Clinic in Buruburu accompanied by his girlfriend…a light-skinned,slender girl who was carrying what appeared to be a 3-4 months pregnancy.

The Gospel artiste and his girl walked into the Clinic at around 10.00am, last Sunday and walked out 45 minutes later.

He arrived in a white saloon car whose number plates we shall NOT reveal. For now.

According to the tabloid-savvy employees at the Clinic,who called Ghafla with the news,the Gospel artiste had made three trips to the Clinic before to try and arrange the date for the abortion. And in all three trips,He showed up alone.

But on Sunday,he finally showed with the girl who appeared to be in her early 20s and whose hair was really unkempt and general look very disheveled.

After arrival to the Clinic,the Gospel artiste left the girl at the reception area before disappearing and coming back later to collect the girl some 45 minutes later. He brought along a Yoghurt,an energy drink and buns on his second trip there…

 

Gif-3-Im-Shocked-gif.gif

The artiste,who has been a Groove nominee many a times-both as an individual and for his music-then left a hefty tip for the ladies at the reception before driving away.

The girl,we are told,is a student at USIU and also an actress who has featured in a show that aired on NTV some time back.

 

Earlier today,we called the Gospel artiste and he promised to get back at us. And he still hasn’t to this minute. Infact,when we asked him whether it is true that he had facilitated the abortion of a child this weekend,he laughed and asked,”Ghafla mnatoanga hii udaku wapi??”

And then he hang up after lying to us that he’d get back at us.

Our attempts to reach the gynecologist at the Buruburu Clinic,too,proved futile as his phone went unanswered.

We are still gathering more info on the incident and we shall be revealing his name soon….

Nera..Nerea…so much for a song!–

 

Top Celebrities Who Have Changed After Their New Found Fame (And Not for The Best)

They are our beloved Kenyan celebs and we appreciate them for keeping us entertained but for some of us who knew them before they became famous and let’s be honest kind-of rich, we can barely recognize them.

For those who have had a taste of the real fame (I’m talking about Hollywood celebs and not this make-shift fame of akina Kaka Sungura), they will confess to one thing fame is like crack-cocaine. The first time you hear the crowds scream your name can be compared to your first snot of the highly addictive substance, and as we all know the first snot of that coco and your just a few more away from becoming a crack-head.

That is what real fame does to a person, it changes you some for the better some for the worse.

Having worked at Ghafla, or rather the entertainment scene for the last year and a half, I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the big names in the industry, some who I barely knew others who were once my favorite celebrities and others yet to make their mark in the industry.

And while the humility for some of our local celebrities can touch you, the arrogance of the rest can leave you with the taste of ass in your mouth like you just came from performing anulingus.

But of all the arrogant Kenyan celebs I’ve met, a few stand out;

Rabbit a.k.a Kaka Sungura

I first encountered Rabbit back in my high school days, when he was only known for his one song that was in the air wave ‘Betty’ featuring Harry Kimani. We met along Tom Mboya Street and he had just come from making copies of his mix tape. And 30 seconds into the conversation I loved how humble he was and I could tell that eventually he would make it big. That did not take long and fast forward to the year 2015, the former Rabbit now calling himself Kaka Sungura, Chief Commander of Kaka Empire is one of the most arrogant celebs out there.

I recently approached him while he was playing coach for a recently completed competition, not as a rep from Ghafla (because we all know that most celebs would run away when they hear the name) but as a fan, perhaps hoping at the back of my mind that he would remember my face from our ancient meeting, but he almost literally shoved me aside like he was Kanye and I was some sort of stalker paparazzi.

Octopizzo

Back in the day Ghafla didn’t set the trend for ‘The Trend’ (yes Larry, I said it), when Octo was still shooting his music videos in the narrow corridors of Kibera, Ghafla writers of yester years were his biggest fans and would promote all his songs and videos (do you remember that Octo?).

I used to think Octo was one ‘Sick Cunt’ (look it up, this is the highest form of praise) but after having an actual conversation with the guy, calling him arrogant would be an insult to the word.

I could go on, because the list long but my editor would have me for dinner if I mention some names.

The bottom line is fame changes people no matter how little it is. We are always chasing popularity and fame and at the back of our minds tell ourselves that we won’t change and we won’t become as arrogant as some celebs but the truth is the arrogance comes with the territory. Think about it, if you’ve worked your way up from the slums of Kibera to being a UN ambassador aren’t you allowed to have some semblance of pride? I know I would.

Orange is bringing you the Star Africa Sounds Music Contest which is your chance to work your way up the ladder and become one of the stars, because let’s be honest no matter how much we hate their arrogance we love our celebs and we want to be one of them.

The Star Africa Sounds Music Contest is the biggest Pan African music competitions seeking young and fresh talent across Africa.

Meet Mzazi Willy M Tuva’s Daughter Who Is Set To Feature In Celebrated Radio Personality’s New Video

The other day Ghafa Kenya featured the story of Mzazi Willy M Tuva’s two gorgeous kids, Tanya and Tinya, children whom the all-time best radio personality admitted are an inspiration to him because of the love they always give him.

Tuva is arguably the most decorated radio presenter of our time thanks to his genius behind Radio Citizen mics and in front of Citizen TV cameras.

He has inspired many with his Mambo Mseto show on the radio station, helping many artistes grow their talents and curve a niche out of them.

His beautiful young daughter seems to be keen on following her father’s footsteps as she takes music into her stride and pursue it diligently.

Tanya has featured in Kiss 100’s Adelle Onyango’s brand new video that will be dropping today evening.

Through her Instagram page, Adelle has lavished praise on the youngster and says that she is destined for greatness thanks to the desire and love she has for music.

The young Tanya must have really followed her father’s endevours keenly and this would probably explain why she is keen to venture into music at such a tender age.

The news of Tanya featuring in a new video done by one of the most popular radio personalities on the land have been received well on the Kenyan social media, with many promising to keep in touch to see what Adelle and Tanya have for the fan base.

Here is Adelle and Tanya hanging out:

DJ Mo To Discard Irrelevant Friends After Suffering Worst Betrayal

 

Gospel mix whiz, DJ Mo, has vowed to conduct a major overhaul of the people surrounding him by the names friends. This is after he was stabbed in the back by the very guys he thought were his pals.

Recently, DJ Mo and his wife, Size 8, held a fundraiser for Size’s mother at NPC Valley Road. The event was an eye-opener for the gospel DJ.

You would expect gospel artists to fill up seat in such kind of event, right? Well, this was not the case with the fundraiser, the event was dotted with popular secular musicians.

It was as a result of this shocker that DJ Mo thought about getting rid of friends who turned their back on him in his hour of need.

The mix master revealed he was going to change his phone book. You can bet all the Judas Iscariots will be blacklisted.

“Some situations happens so that you can know real friends and fake ones . God thank you Lord and please delete irrelevant people in my life by force and connect me to the connectors of my destiny. My phone book will change from today.” DJ Mo wrote in part.

 

Pierra Makena Mourns The Death Of Her Father

 

Pierra Makena is among the female artistes in Kenya today who have taken the industry to another level thanks to their genius in their field.

The DJ is also among the ever smiling and good looking ladies in town.

But behind that very attractive face and the ever romantic voice lies a mourning soul, especially on a day like this.

It is exactly 9 years down the line ever since the DJ lost her loving father, something that has always hurt her every time it hits her that she misses a father’s love.

And today, once again, Pierra is mourning the passing on of her father, a man she held so close to her heart and whom she misses dearly.

Through her Instagram account, Pierra says that every time she remembers her father, she is engulfed by emotions and wants to mourn deeply.

She hates 5th May because this is the day her father left. She laments that it is quite unfortunate that he did not live to see her grow to what he wanted her to be.

She said:
