Hilarious Reactions From Kenyans When Asked For Lungula by a Random Stranger

 

You probably have heard about him, Sam West is not a new face on the media. The media mogul-cum-comedian has made headlines a number of times for his hilarious jests.

The comedian made the country come to a standstill when he dropped Prison Break season five, the Kenyan version.

Sam has once again unleashed a thrilling prank that caught the attention of many. This time round, the comedian and his team were strolling around the streets soliciting for sex from random by-passers.

The aim of the prank was to analyze reactions of Kenyans when a total stranger stops them by the streets and ask to sleep with them.

Of course most ladies rejected the generous offer but men on their other hand were quick to capitalize of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

See What Julie Gichuru Did To Janet Mbugua And Her Husband After Their Wedding (Photo)

 

Exactly a week ago, Janet Mbugua was walked down the aisle by her long time fiancé Eddie Ndichu in a colourful wedding ceremony held at the prestigious expansive Chaka Ranch.

The wedding was highly hyped and indeed it lived up to the hype it was given as it turned out to be among the most decorated weddings by celebrities in the 254.

Janet and Eddie have since assumed their roles as husband and wife with the former adopting the latter’s second name to be identified with her.

And as the dust continues to settle down a week after it was blown up, many are still talking about the TV siren and her hubby.

Congratulatory messages have been tickling in from all corners of the republic and of course wishes of a happy unending life.

And among those who have taken their time to remember the whole event as it went down and of course encourage the newest couple in town is celebrated Citizen TV queen Julie Gichuru.

Through her instagram account, Julie has penned a heart-warming message to the two lovers, quoting encouraging verses from the Bible as she introduces them to their new life.

Julie married several years ago and she seems to understand these things perfectly. Her  message to Janet and Eddie is a perfect one and it comes at a time when they dearly need it as they kick-start a life long journey that will only be separated by probably death.

Here is what she told the lovebirds:

Julie and Janet

#WhatWeDidLastSaturday
Celebrated with the lovely couple @janetwmbugua& Eddie at their wedding at the stunning#ChakaRanch in Nyeri.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Wishing you both a life time of blessings! 
Julie & Tony

 

Mustafa Fires Back at Nyota Ndogo After she Blasted Him On The Trend

 

The drama on these streets…endless! Early last week Huddah and Joe Muchiri were locked in an ugly quarrel on Twitter after Joe Muchiri expressed his disdain for how Huddah makes her money.

Now Nyota ndogo has reignited her beef with Mustafa by calling him a ‘kiatu’ among other things on the trend. And this is how Mustafa reacted to Nyota Ndogo spending ample time on the trend talking about him.

“I’ve met Nyota before and I thought she was a really sweet person and very mature enough to conduct her tv interviews without saying mustafa this or mustafa that!

I want to respond to a comment she made on last Friday’s ‘#TheTrend’ about my new video,” she said. “Mustafa is a being misled or is misleading the public with his new songs. I just want everyone to know, I didn’t intend to hurt anybody. But I’ve learned it’s not my intent
that matters, it’s the result, and the result is that people are appreciating me being different that is
okay.

Therefore, I want to say to Nyota Ndogo, and anyone else out there that Is offended, that Dodoma Singida wasn’t intended fr them, it was intended fr people who appreciate art and diversity . This really has been a learning experience for me, you cant please everyone.”

This Is What Nyota Ndogo Did On The Trend That Had Larry Madowo Blush

 

There is never a dull moment where Nyota Ndogo is involved.

And the latest edition of the trend was certainly hilarious to watch after she spent close to the whole episode disparaging the ‘makalio menace’ and describing Mustafa and the bevy of scantily dressed women in his video.

She went on to condemn Mustafa and what she describes as ‘exploitation’ of women in lieu to well-written songs. She insinuated that the naked girls in his video was to compensate for his poor music and went on to a device him on getting a brilliant songwriter.

Nyota also said that Mustafa went on to spread rumors that she was in love with him, which she denied adding that yes she loved him but in a brotherly kind of way.

And for the final nail in the coffin, Nyota went ahead to refer to Mustapha as a ‘kiatu’. The whole episode left Larry really tickled and at some point even blushed

Is Huddah Monroe Finally Getting Married? (EVIDENCE)

Ahem! Sorry Team Mafisi, Huddah Monroe might actually be the next celebrity walking down the aisle. Only a matter of time now!

The very idea of Huddah getting hitched has sparked an interesting reaction from Ghafla! crew in our office.

“Who is the guy marrying her??” Baffled Team Ghafla! asked in unison.

Well, if her words are anything to go by, then Huddah Monroe is set to exchange vows with an anonymous dude that has stolen her heart, perhaps it’s the ‘sponsor’ Joe Muchiri keeps on referring to.

Huddah is currently enjoying herself in some exorbitant resort on the shores of Lake Victoria. She posted a photo with the caption hinting she had finally found Mr. X.

“Sailed Lake Victoria with the lover of my life . Awesome feeling. Sometimes love comes around and just knocks you down!” Wrote Huddah.

At the end of her statement, Huddah posted a ring. Ghafla! couldn’t immediately reach Huddah via the phone to confirm whether she is actually getting married.

See the photo she posted below:

Fashion Police: Best And Worst Dressers At The Groove Awards Last Weekend.

Surprisingly, at the 10 annual groove awards celebrities turned up and dazzled at the red carpet. Despite a few notable grave fashion fails here and there, on a scale of 10 we’d give almost everyone a generous 6! The best so far. It would however be imperative to note that not everybody looked the part. 

Award ceremonies require that men turn up in tailored suits on the low and nice fitting tuxedos on the high. Women can pass in nice dinners dresses or whatever is fashionable in dresses or skirts at the time. How people turn up in jeans and sweatshirts as some form of Identity at awards is just lame and unfashionable. 

That said, let’s look at how your favorite celebrities showed up for the event.

NTV Fires Popular Presenter While Another One Quits

About a month ago, one of NTV’s finest was left mortified after photos of her, naked as a newborn surfaced on social media.

Team Mafisi had a field day with the photos which they lasciviously said portrayed her “well shaped body, come to bed eyes, honey dripping lips and smooth skin.”

Aside from the humiliation, it seems that this leak could have cost her job at NTV. As you are aware NTV is a family oriented brand and often steer away from anything outrageous.

Anita has however denied getting fired .She claims that she decided to leave the station to deal with the humiliation and also out of respect for the media house, witting this:

“Dear Fans, I wanna thank you for the support you gave me from day one. I have learnt a lot and enjoyed our journey together. The last week hasnt been easy, no woman would like to show their body to complete strangers. “ she wrote adding that “Much as I am a victim, I feel like I let you all down as I result I have decided to take a media break as I deal with the humiliation. Am resigning from my job, I have so much respect for NTV and I can never thank them enough for the opportunity. Please keep, watching and supporting the show. Again am sorry, this was never intended for the public. You might see me in Studio 256 but those episodes were already recorded, am strong but am also human. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, it’s how you get up. I hope to get up stronger.

Remain Blessed, Anita” 

 

Now, NTV has lost another of their beauties ,Zuena Kirema the wife to Bebe Cool and the host of NTV’s Life stories, who posted this:

It’s been an interesting journey for two years working at NTV with a great team of management,producers,cameramen and fellow presenters but my journey has come to an end & i would like to thank God for the good friends i made and experience i got,unfortunately on Sunday you’ll be watching my last show as Life Stories presenter as i have to concentrate on unavoidable family issues. I thank you all for being a great audience,it was a great experience presenting to you, may Allah keep you safe.

Forget Who Won And Who Didn’t,These Are The REAL Winners Of The Groove Awards Night At Kasarani.

 The Groove Awards, Gospel Music’s biggest Awards went down last sato at a drenched evening at The Kasarani  Indoor Arena. Despite the rains and the maddening traffic,crowds still thronged the arena. And the show still went on…Very much on.

The show started off with a toned down performance from the star of the night,Bahati who,clutching a guitar-I hope he could really play it-and seated on some high-level chair,crooned his peace-oriented song Visa,moaning and bawling as he is known to before Rufftone,Gospel music’s godfather,stormed to the stage and blew us away with his Mungu Baba Twaomba GSU jam. And,just like that,obliterated what Bahati had attempted to do before…

And the Awards were quickly in motion…The host was the very professional and debonair Kavutha Mwanzia…

I was seated to the right of the packed auditorium…And followed all the festivities from a very vaunted position…soaking in every moment,savoring every performance and jotting down notes on every move the chaps at the stage made…

And now,after the Groove Awards,Here Are The Ghafla Awards based strictly on the performances of the Groove Awards…

LADY OF THE NIGHT- Kavutha Mwanzia.

Before Kavutha Mwanzia was picked as the event’s MC and Host,the organizers had first picked Kalekye Mumo the Kiss FM motormouth who,because the event had to be postponed,couldn’t host it anymore as she had planned to be in Brazil on June 6th. And so,after the departure of Kalekye,the Organizers went for Kavutha Mwanzia…You may remember her as the TPF Voice coach. And boy,Kavutha was quite the lady of the night!

She was classy,toned down,strict on time,super professional,calm and collected,audible,elegant and very refreshing. She spoke like a pro,made introductions with real emphasis on time and never allowed anyone to waste the night away or to hog too much time on stage.

She was quite the class act! Thumbs up,Girl. You owned the night!

MAN OF THE NIGHT- Abel Chungu

Abel Chungu is  a Zambian…And he was in Kenya for the Award Ceremony. And when the Award For The Artiste Of The Year Southern Africa was named,It was Abel who went to the stage to pick it on behalf of Joyous Celebration. And then he gave a speech…And blew the whole auditorium away. It was impassioned,true,straight to the point and very poignant.

And then he was called again to perform…And yet again,He killed it! He did a Swahili song(Yes,He’s Zambian) that he wrote on his way to The Grooves! He wrote a song specifically for the Grooves! And it was a classic! Damn!

And with those vocals? Abel simply owned the night…First Class honors!

FEMALE PERFORMER OF THE NIGHT- Mercy Masika

Mercy Mercy! Oh Lord Of Mercy! When this girl with the biggest voice in Gospel stood up to sing,the hall was brought to it’s knees. Performing her super smash hit,Mwema,Mercy brought the whole room to it’s feet! Her fellow artistes ,too,could be seen dancing themselves silly and soaking in her performance from their seats! Daddy Owen’s hands were flailing in the air throughout Mercy’s classic performance.

It was sweet and powerful and anointed and holy. Goodness! Her vocals shattered across the room and that song,that song brought the Lord into the room…And made time stop! Mercy was made to sing. And,to me,she is NOT the Best Female Artiste in Gospel Music..She is the Best GOSPEL MUSICIAN IN KENYA! Period! Bless!

MALE PERFORMER OF THE NIGHT-Willy Paul

Forget his many scandals and utotos and whatnot,Willy can be a performer! And Willy can really really own that stage! He’s the most gifted Male Gospel artiste,the most sizzling,the most entertaining and the most amazing! His vocals are straight from heaven and his songs are on a whole ‘nother level.

Instead of appearing on the stage like any other performer,Willy Paul stared his performance hoisted above the room like a roving camera! High above every one else,and with the crane swinging him from corner to corner,Willy Paul flew above people’s heads…Like a Boss! And brought back memories of Michael Jackson,The Pop King!

And when he was finally lowered on to the stage to continue his performance,Size 8 joined him to deliver their smash hit Tam Tam before Willy Paul went on to his Kwa Vile jam,blowing the whole room away,making thousands of ladies cheer for his impeccable dance skills and bring the whole house to a thunderous applause! Plus those dance moves? Dammit! You could have an orgasm!

Long Live Willy Paul! Our Own King Of Pop!

PRESENTER OF THE NIGHT- Octopizzo

Yes,Yes…I know,I know…Octo is not even a Gospel artiste. And Cabu Gah is not even one to heap praises on Octo but,let’s face it,Octo was the speaker of the night! Trailed very closely by Ian Mbugua.

Called upon to present the Award For Hip Hop Artiste Of The Year,Octopizzo took time to poke fun at Allan Aaron,his co-presenter. And it was really funny…He also brought up the Illuminati claims,talked of his past,why he does secular music and about the grace of God to all mankind.

But the biggest cheers came when he attacked Gospel artistes for singing pop songs and for diluting their message,telling them,”Wewe ni Gospel artiste,Hufai kuwa uki-try kuwin-mafans…Unafaa uimbe ku-win souls…” And the hall erupted in an applause. He also attacked Kelele Takatifu for dancing along to their own songs telling them,”Wewe ni Hip Hop Artiste…Unafaa kuwa na swag,Buda! Sio kutingiza viuno hapa kama dancer…Hizo wachia Willy Paul,Budah!”

And even after presenting the Award to Kriss Ehh Baba,Octo still remained on stage to remind us of how he helped build Nairobi Chapel and why we should not be surprised to see him at a Gospel event. He made us laugh,think,smile,clap,cheer and he preached to us too! One word,Amazing!

SEXY LADY OF THE NIGHT- Dee Dee

Dee Dee is a female Gospel rapper that many of You may not know…But this girl,even though she didn’t win any award,really made us stare. At her gorgeousness…She wore a black and white flowing gown that accentuated her sweet ass in a way that seemed almost sacrilegious. She blew away the catwalk…With that dress,that flawless hair,that sweet smile,the impeccable make-up and the impossible to beat beauty! We all wanted a piece of Dee Dee! And In mean it!

MOM OF THE NIGHT- Jemimah Thiong’o

Jemimah has been in the industry for years…And years…And when she was called upon to receive the Songwriters Award,she blew us way with just how graceful she looked,how gorgeous she still appeared at her old age and how fresh she still was many many decades later…

She even brought along her super sweet granddaughter to the stage to share the moment with her…Awwww…Plus her dress? Her white,flowing gown? Simply amazing!

We loved Jemimah when she came out…And we still love her to date!

MILF OF THE NIGHT- Esther Wahome

Esther Wahome is a mother,a wife and a veteran in the industry. Esther is close to 40 years old but still,how does she still look so sexy and hot and gorgeous? After all these years? Her body,her hair,her gracefulness…Esther was the Queen Of The night! Her red dress was really the sexiest moment of the  night…Plus with that height and that svelte figure,Esther was every man’s fixture! Mind blowing! Look at that dress…Jut look at it! Woooiiii

HILARIOUS MOMENT OF THE NIGHT-Kelele Takatifu and J Fam

J Fam is that Gospel artiste that you probably have NEVER heard of…And Kelele Takatifu,well,You must have heard of such a crew…Now now,called upon to present an award,J Fam and one member of Kelele Takatifu really had us in stitches…Before presenting the Award,these two had a little Jamaican patois talk that really cracked the audience. J Fam seemed perfect in his Jamican lingo…While that other fellow was really a wreck in talkin’ Jamican..And that’s where the laughters came from.

Plus J Fam is really tall…While the other ka-fellow is really short and that,too, made the whole hall guffaw and fall over in stitches…

Their presentation was so good,so hilarious,we even forgot who they were presenting the award to! Funny! As hell!

AWKWARD MOMENT OF THE NIGHT- James Wanyoike

That guy who won the Award for Central Counties Artiste Of The Year…James Wanyoike. After winning the Award,this jamaa stumbled onto the stage and hugged Esther Wahome,the sexy mama. Man,he hugged Esther for so long,held onto her so tight,grabbed her so close, we didn’t understand what was going on..

And even when Esther was trying to disentangle herself from the jamaa,he still held on to her…Tightly. Boss,iko shida!??

But can we blame him? Absolutely not! Esther Wahome was the hottest Mama of the night! We’d all want to hold onto her that tightly!

RIDICULE OF THE NIGHT- L Jay Maasai

In an attempt to show Groove’s journey over the years,the producers organized a ka-video montage to show how past winners celebrated their wins.

And the funniest part of that video was when it was L Jay’s turn to be shown on the huge screens. Celebrating a past Award,L Jay Maasai broke into song….But he sang it so poorly,so badly,the whole hall broke into endless laughter. He couldn’t hit the high notes,couldn’t get the key right and was the absolute ridicule of the night! Bigger laughters came when he was told off by that viral guy with an accent,”Gerrraaaaraa Hiiiaaaa!” Hahahahaha! Poor chap!

CLOWN OF THE NIGHT- Dr. Ofweneke

He came,he made us laugh and he conquered. Plus his radio,Milele FM,won huge! And every time they won,Dr. Ofweneke came up to stage in a way that ONLY a comic like him would! He sashayed on stage,strolled,catwalked,danced,pranced and strolled like the Ultimate clown.

And even when he didn’t say a word at all,He was still funny! He brought out his Mr. Bean…And claimed his little place in the night!

DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE NIGHT- All Stars Ensemble…

I was deeply deeply disappointed when the producers of the Awards decided to lump together people as richly talented as Jemimah Thiong’o and her grand daughter,Ruth Matete,Mercy Masika and her Mum,The Kassangas and Amos and Josh only for them to sing a song as old and as boring as “tutavuaaa Mapambo Yetu…Siku zote za maisha yetu…”

They not only chose an old song but also sang it poorly. The crew was so talented,so huge,so famous that I was disappointed that they not only chose to do that song…But also sang it so poorly. It was a cheap,lukewarm performance that didn’t show off their amazing vocals,abilities and diverse talents. I was disappointed! Totally! Arrrrgh!

Aaaaaaand those were the Awards in a nutshell,Got a complaint? Go lodge it at The Central Police tafathali….

GHAFLA EXPLORES: Five Reasons Why Kenyan Campus Students Love Smoking ‘Bangi’

Campus students love weed. If scientists were to analyze the components of air in Kenyan campuses, they would find that the percentage of weed smoke was even more than oxygen. When most of us were kids, our parents cultivated a number of lies in our brains about the effects of Marijuana.

They warned us that we should never smoke weed because we would become insane. We would walk around naked they said. We would be institutionalized they said. As we grew up, many of us defied this warning and luckily, nothing bad happened to us. We didn’t turn to zombies.

I have never smoked pot myself but I know hundreds of people who rely on it the way a trailer relies on diesel. There are people who can’t function without marijuana. Most of this people happen to be campus students. So why is this? Why are campus students so addicted to bangi? Well here are the reasons

As a coping mechanism

Wonder why you always smell bangi from afar whenever you step into JKUAT for example? It’s the pressure my guy. Campus students endure a lot of life pressures. Many students use weed as a means of coping with certain pressures in their lives such as exams, relationships etc. They also use it as way of relieving boredom, frustration, anxiety or anger and as a means of escapism.

It’s tough when you only have 20 bob in your pocket and you have to study for an Econometrics exam that’s scheduled for the next morning. It’s tough when you catch some guy shagging the sense out of your chic in her hostel room. Such are the difficulties campus students endure and weed becomes the definite savior.

Myths

False myths about weed have been there for years. Some say you’ll be able to study for longer periods if you blaze a stick or two. You’ll grasp each detail that boring lecturer coughs out. Some say you’ll have more confidence with women. Some say you’ll last longer in bed than a porn star. Some even say your hustle mode will be activated and you’ll go out there and make more mulla. All these myths combined make the use of weed seem so appealing

bangiiiiiiii2

Peer pressure

Peer pressure is the top match maker between campo students and weed. The initiation process mostly occurs during house parties. When you attend your first party as a campus student, it’s a guarantee that you’ll be coerced to inhale a puff. Campo students experiment with drugs in order to fit in with their peer group or because it is seen as a cool and daring thing to do.

In campus, part of being a group means wearing the right clothes, having similar hairstyles and liking the same music. Another aspect is daring someone to do something which may be dangerous or different in order to be part of the group.

If the group smokes bangi or uses other drugs then part of being that group means doing the same. There can be pressure to do so and many young people will try drugs rather than be excluded from the group.

This is a stage where they have a strong desire to belong and not stand out from the rest of the crowd.

Rebellion

Marijuana is often used as a form of rebellion against authority. Knowing that your parents, lecturers or other authority figures disapprove of this makes it even more attractive. You feel proud doing a crime that you are not likely to get caught for

This is not new: campus students have been rebelling against authority over several decades and using drugs such as marijuana is one way of doing so.

This is a time when they are testing boundaries; exploring their identities and trying to assert themselves in a variety of ways. It is a time of raging hormones and other changes which can be confusing and difficult to deal with.

The Kenyan campus student is on the cusp of childhood and adulthood and is trying to adapt to the challenges that brings. Using marijuana is one way of coping with that.

Ease of access

In campuses, there are weed dealers everywhere, even mini-cartels. You just have to know them since they don’t sell it out in the open like Sukuma wiki. For as little as 20 bob, one gets their fix. The availability of weed makes it popular among campus students. Ease of access goes hand in hand with popularity

Citizen TV’s Terryanne Chebet Opens Up About Her Daughter’s Condition and Reveals Something You Did Not Know Before

Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and put on a big smile because Terryanne Chebet has good news for you. And specifically for ladies, this is gonna be one of the best news this week and many more to come.

But hold on. Did you know Terryanne Chebet, one of Citizen TV’s finest anchors, has a daughter? I want to believe you do. If yes, there is something else you did not know about the daughter.

Through her Instagram account, the CitizenTV anchor has revealed that her daughter has a condition, in fact a skin condition called Eczema, a medical condition in which patches of skin become rough and inflamed, with blisters that cause itching and bleeding, sometimes resulting from a reaction to irritation (eczematous dermatitis) but more typically having no obvious external cause.

However, for Terryanne, this is a blessing in disguise as it gave her an idea to start something that will help every lady in the country.

Kenyara Organics is the name of the brand that Terryanne started by herself and which is steadily growing to cater for the needs of ladies and gentlemen who want to have a supple skin that glitters and looks soft.

Kenyara Organics produces skin treatment products aimed at giving Kenyans a nice skin. Here is what Terryanne said about her daughter and the products she produces: 

Terryanne

 

 This week I’d like to share a few stories about things that inspire me. When I started off Keyara Organics, I second guessed myself when I didn’t know what to do in a business I didn’t understand. I constantly questioned myself about why I, a journalist thought I could even manage a skin care line. My daughter has eczema, a dry skin condition and for a long time I couldn’t find a consistent supplier of pure Shea Butter. And that’s how the Journey began. A friend helped me find a name for the line, and together we created the brand. Just the fact that there were people that believed in me and urged me on kept me inspired to journey on despite the self doubt. The business is young but I pray that we will one day be a global brand with an unapologetic African pride. I deeply thank my inner circle for the strength they fill me with. God bless you!

Willy Paul Trolled For What He Posted After Losing To Bahati On The Just Concluded Groove Awards

 

Willy Paul is once again a hot topic on social media after he chipped in his comment following the prestigious Groove Awards gala.

Last Saturday, the much awaited Groove Awards 2015 took place at Safaricom Kasarani indoor arena. As expected the event was thronged by celebrities across the divide.

The most interesting category, one which everyone was waiting for, was Male artiste of the year. Bahati and Willy Paul were pitted against each other in the category.

As fate would have it, Bahati emerged as the winner. The singer won in four different categories he was nominated in.

Will Paul on the other hand came out empty-handed, but not disgruntled. At least reading from what he posted.

Groove was awsome congrats to all the winners

Even though he ‘conceded’ defeat, Kenyans on social media had to troll him whatsoever. His instagram post was filled with insults directed at him.

See some of the comments posted below:

Be Part of Hoodie Awards & Help Celebrate the Best of Local Businesses.

In February 2015, wise and intelligent people came up with the idea of recognizing common citizen. The real people who do the tiring work day in day out only to contribute to the fattening of MPs wallets.

It began as a challenge, but is really growing. I find it a very good initiative to honor the people on the ground, rarely or rather, never are they honored.

So Hoodie Awards was born. It strives to celebrate the best of the ‘hood — the ordinary folk instead of A-list stars every day people finally get their time in the spotlight.

The awards will be recognizing the guys who have put their influential stamp on the city and who have made it become such an iconic place to be year on year. So think of Hotel, Bar, Online mall, blogs, esto’s…etc

So, the following people have been nominated, excuse the screen shot but for a better view follow the link; http://www.hoodieawards.co.ke/ and please do vote.

Voting closes on mid night Friday 28th August 2015. Please share and encourage your friends on social media to do the same.

You Wont Believe What Dennis Itumbi Told Bahati After He Set A Record In The Groove Awards

 

It is all about Bahati this morning. This gospel wonder kid is making headlines for all the good reasons this morning after sweeping the board in the recently concluded Groove awards.

In fact Bahati bagged 4 major trophies and was voted the best male artiste of the year in the awards. This is a massive achievement.

And the singer is so full of himself at the expensive of his closest rival in the competition, Willy Paul Msafi.

And through his Facebook fanpage, Bahati has penned a long piece explaining his joy at bagging the awards and also thanking God for the opportunity to shine bright.

Bahati also thanks his fans for the support they have shown him for the second year in a row and says that he is greatly indebted to them.

It is at this point that the Directpr of Digital Communication in the Office of the President, Dennis Itumbi, took his time to comment on Bahati’s post and do you know what he said?

Itumbi commented:

itush

Dennis Itumbi You sing well. You are a great talent. I personally listen to your lyrics and I love your style

He admitted how much he loves Bahati and his songs and how he often listens to them. Bahati must be elated.

 


 

Willy Paul Speaks Out After Allegedly Storming Out Of Groove Awards Following His Loss To Bahati

On June 6th, the most important event in the Gospel Industry, the 10th edition of Groove Awards went down at Safaricom Stadium in Kasarani.

 

The man of the night was Bahati who did not only win one but scooped all the four awards in all the categories he had been nominated in beating out his arch-rival Willy Paul. According to Pulse Willy Paul went home dejected after leaving the joint as empty as he came in.

Even his post on Facebook indicated that he was distressed after his loss:

Maina Kageni Reveals Something You Did Not Know About Him And Jose Chameleone. Here Is What He Said

Maina Kageni is an infuriated man after word went round that he is paid by Uganda’s all-time top singer Jose Chameleone to play his songs.

The two are known to have a fantastic relationship between them and more than once have been spotted hanging out together, enjoying their moments.

Maina is also known to have a lot of liking for Chameleone’s songs and plays them a lot on his Classic 105 show every morning.

This prompted some people to ask Chameleone what he gives Maina such that he plays his songs so much.

Maina has responded by saying that he will always play songs if they are nice and this is what he finds in Chameleone’s songs.

He has denied that he is paid by Chameleone to play his songs.

Maina was speaking in his show this morning.

 

Mike Sonko Raises Eyebrows After He Was Spotted Flying A Plane!

Certified pilot? Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko, is leaving his dreams! For a long time now, the flamboyant law maker has been dying to fly a plane and he ultimately did it.

“Watu wangu I’m proud to announce that I’m now a highly qualified pilot. The 1st flying politician in Africa.” That was Sonko’s statement last month when he was seen posing for the camera in a plane.

Sonko finally got the opportunity of seating in the cockpit and flying an airplane.

“I thank you all for standing with me in prayers God has finally answered our prayers though I was almost landing myself into another job!!!” Wrote excited Sonko after flying a plane.

Wait a minute, Sonko NEVER flew the plane per se, he flew it in a flight simulator; a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies, specifically for pilot training, design or other purposes, recreational included.

Humiliated To Death: Girl Commits Suicide By Jumping Into Pit Latrine After Teacher Read Love Messages to Students (Photo+Video)

A somber mood engulfed a school in Nyamira yesterday when a form three girl committed suicide by jumping into a pit latrine after what many say is humiliation by a teacher.

Judy Nyanchama Mercy of Marindi High School committed suicide after her teacher confiscated her phone and loudly read her love messages in front of the students’ assembly.

Other students say that this must have greatly embarrassed the student who went on to jump into the pit latrine, killing herself instantly.

The school matron has, however, denied that the teacher read the text messages out loud leading to the student committing suicide.

Most Kenyan schools discourage use phones by students within school compounds and this is another incident which puts on the spotlight some of the stringent rules governing the conduct of students in institutions.

Jaguar Moving Around On A Wheelchair. What Happened To Him? (Photos)

 

Kenyan richest singer, Jaguar, has raised eyebrows after he was spotted moving around on a wheelchair.

Is Jaguar crippled? That’s the intriguing question lingering on many people’s mind. But before we get to the answer, let’s take a brief detour.

A couple of weeks ago, the singer penned a long letter to the head of state.

The letter which was directed to the president was expressing the plight of underprivileged Kenyans. Now the video message is out.

‘Barua Kwa Rais’ which features Jaguar and Sudi was dropped late last Friday. In the video, Jaguar plays a role of a crippled tailor while Sudi plays a pauper.

See How Janet Mbugua Is Calling Herself After Marrying Her Fiancee In A Colourful Wedding A Week Ago

 

If you have love, you don’t need to have anything else, and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter much what else you have. Ask Citizen TV’s Janet Mbugua this and she will assure you.

The siren wedded in a colourful wedding a week ago and officially became unavailable for those who were eyeing her.

Eddie Ndichu, the banker who won Janet’s heart, is the luckiest man we have around. Believe it or leave it.

And now Janet has assumed a new name, adding it to her two common ones. Janet has already added Ndichu to her name and now she goes by Janet Mbugua Ndichu.

You doubt this? well, check her instagram account name:

janet mbugua

It is completely African and of course everywhere that when a lady marries she adopts the name of her husband.

Janet is already enjoying every bit of her new life. Ghafla! Kenya wishes the couple all the best.

 

See What Maina Kageni Had To Say About Willy Paul After He Failed To Win An Award In The Just Concluded Groove Awards

The talk in town this morning is all about the just concluded Groove Awards that went down at the Kasarani stadium over the weekend. While majority believe the whole event was a huge success, a few feel it was a bit flawed probably because their favourite artistes walked back home empty handed.

And the biggest talk in town is all about Gospel wonder boys Kevin Bahati and Willy Paul Msafi.

While the  former scooped four trophies at the awards, the latter walked home without anything to show from the awards.

Theories have been put up about Bahati’s win and Willy Paul’s loss. And the latest to sympathize with Willy Paul is Cassic 105’s all time best presenter Maina Kageni.

In his show this morning, as Mwalimu King’ang’I played his famous Kayamba for Bahati following his huge win, Maina maintained that Willy Paul still remains his favourite and feels so sorry for him for not bagging an award.

Willy Paull

Mwalimu King’ang’I then asked him to tell Willy Paul, his man, to consider a collabo with Bahati but Maina maintained Willy Paul is a talented man who really needed an award.

It can be remembered that this is not the first time Maina has publicly declared his admiration for Willy Paul’s work. He has done it before prompting unnecessary theories from the ever innovative Kenyans about his relationship with Willy Paul.

 

Bahati The Lucky One: Why The Gospel Wonder Boy Owes Willy Paul So Much For The Record He Set In The Groove Awards

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of honest friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived and much more, could all be summed up as success.

And to someone like Bahati, the gospel wonder boy who has continued to wow many a people thanks to his music coupled with his social background which has earned him enough empathy and sympathy from gospel music fans, this is exactly what many would think he has achieved.

But alas! Bahati’s story is more than just the above. Following his sweep of trophies at the just concluded Safaricom Grove awards, Bahati stunned many with the manner in which he managed to topple many an artiste to grab four major awards, setting an unmatched record in the decade old awards given to gospel participants in different categories.

bahati-main

Bahati with his adopted kids receiving the awards over the weekend

Many think Bahati is successful but I would tell you for free this boy is lucky, just like his name suggests.

Scooping four major awards is no mean feat brethren but this must be attributed to his fans and more importantly, his friend-cum-foe-cum-friend Willy Paul Msafi.

It was at the beginning of this year that social media enthusiasts were treated to a flurry of Facebook posts that Bahati put up to accuse Willy Paul for being a thief. In the post that contained more than 500 characters, Bahati spit his fury at his compatriot, accusing him of colluding with producer Teddy B, another man who scooped an award for the best audio producer, to steal his unreleased songs.


 

Bahati went on to accuse Willy Paul of bringing an unnecessary competition in the industry when he said that he(Willy Paul) releases songs every time he (Bahati) releases his. He also mentioned quite a number of songs he allegedly stole from him and changed a few things before releasing them.

Well, Willy Paul responded by releasing one of the songs he allegedly stole from Bahati.

Bahati’s unforgiving followers who have always admired the youngster joined the bandwagon and badly brought down Willy Paul with scathing attacks on not only his music but also his character. While very few stood by him, the controversial singer was on the spotlight for the better part of that month. His legacy and music were dealt a major blow.

Then came the famous and viral Ghafla! Kenya expose! This was one of the most exciting exposes of 2015. We told the world how Willy Paul neglected his biological mother in Mathare slums as he flaunted another woman he called mother in the public. It was one of the most heartbreaking things a well-off son would do to an ailing mother.

These two incidences greatly gave Bahati the chance to remain the perfect and less controversial boy; the cool and philanthropic boy who has adopted three kids from  a children’s home having grown there as one.

And for Bahati he knew it very well that his probability of success is directly proportional to the belief and execution of his abilities. And by this he perfectly crafted the hit single Barua, a song that catapulted him further into the limelight.

Willy-Paul-and-Bahati-make-peace-1

Bahati and Willy Paul make peace after the former accused the latter of stealing his songs

The only sure person to give Bahati a stiff run for the Groove Awards was Willy Paul. But the last nail on his coffin had been hammered when the two aforementioned incidences rocked his otherwise controversial gospel life.

Jacob Gelt Dekker once said: Have lots of courage, most of all to forget yourself and break out of your box.


 

This is exactly what Bahati did. Having the courage to tell the world what he had been harbouring concerning his fellow singer Willy Paul. And this perfectly worked in his favour as Willy Paul succumbed to the accusations and lost the confidence of the voters.

I really cannot give you the formula for success. But I can give you the formula for failure. It is this: try to please everyone. By allegedly stealing Bahati’s songs, Willy Paul was trying to please us. And for sure when the truth came out, he failed. By flaunting another woman and neglecting his biological mother to please Kenyans, Willy Paul dug his own grave.

Bahati is greatly indebted to Willy Paul. I understand they buried the hatchet the day the Grove awards were launched. This is a better chance for Bahati to invite Willy Paul for a cup of tea. I understand Willy Paul won nothing. While an irritated Willy Paul fan argued in a matatu I was travelling in that the Groove Awards voting process is flawed and there is no way Willy Paul would win with all the controversies, we should accept that Bahati has done tremendously well to scoop the awards. Willy Paul has been exceptional too. Were it not for all this, he would have been among those who scooped something.

Bahati’s was lucky. Success came a distant further. And Willy Paul played a big role in ensuring he (Bahati) scooped four major awards on Saturday night.

 

 

KTN’s Joy Doreen Biira Reveals What You Didn’t Know About The Lawyer Who Asked For Malia Obama’s Hand In Marriage

Felix Kiprono, the lawyer who attracted the attention of the world’s most powerful man sat down with KTN’s Joy Doreen Biira to shed light on his ‘insane’ proposal.

50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats, those are the livestock Felix was prepared to part with in order to marry President Obama’s daughter.

Even though his ambition seemed far-fetched, Felix got the whole world’s attention by his audacious move on Malia Obama.

Joy Doreen sat down with the ‘Kenyan lawyer’ (as Felix has come to be known) to get him to explain why he was brave enough to offer dowry for a 17-year-old Malia.(Under age girl).

Interestingly, Felix says it’s not him but his community elders that offered the livestock for President Obama’s daughter.

So Felix just got himself in the middle of something that he didn’t even initiate? According to Doreen, Felix denies being in love with Malia but he admits he has been fascinated by the Obamas ever since they occupied the White House.

Below is a photo of Doreen with Felix and what she wrote:

jod.jpg

So 25 yr old Felix Kiprono told me its not him but his community elders that has made a booking of 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats for Malia Obama’s hand in marriage… He denies being in love with Malia but admits to being fascinated by America’s first family since 2008. He is fully aware that Malia is a minor.

The accent though….. #smh

 

In Pictures: Janet Mbugua On Her Honeymoon

 

Citizen TV’s Janet Mbugua has been missing from the screens for a while now. She is in some ritzy destination in the wilderness enjoying her honeymoon.

Ever since she opened a new chapter in her life, the sultry Janet Mbugua has been keen to keep a low profile to enjoy precious time with her better half Eddie Ndichu.

The two walked down the aisle approximately a week ago in a colorful ceremony that was held at the expansive Chaka Ranch in Nyeri County.

After the wedding, Janet and Eddie turned their back on the media to travel to a ‘secret’ location to enjoy their honeymoon.

After almost a week of silence following the wedding, Janet decided to update her fans on her whereabouts, where she is spending her honeymoon.

Apparently the Citizen TV anchor loves wild destinations, peaceful ambiance far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Janet and Eddie travelled to Samburu County, Ol Pejeta conservancy to be specific, to spend their honeymoon.

She shared some photos from her escapade in the wildness.
