I think we can all agree that Janet Mbugua’s wedding has been the wedding of the year because  people are still talking about it close to one week after it went down.

Her hordes of admires were pretty disappointed when she jumped the broom with one Eddie Ndichu  and one of them is not quite ready to let go.

He photo shopped his head onto Eddie’s head and posted this hilarious caption alongside it One thing about us Kenyans is that we always hate…..what was wrong with Janet’s dress surely….

 

It has been a top secret known to the sultry Kiss 100 presenter. A secret that she has always denied the public. I am talking about Adelle Onyango’s soul mate.

Many have always wondered who Adelle Onyango is seeing, or even whether she is seeing someone after all. The American-raised Kenyan radio personality has always chosen to keep her man out of the limelight.

But today, it seems she is open to let the world see him, though partially. While you were fast asleep in the deep hours of the night and enjoying every dream that accompanied the heavy downpour in the capital and Kenya at large, Adelle Onyango was very awake waiting for a special moment in the life of the man she has given her heart.

And when the hour came, Adelle took to her instagram account to flaunt her soul mate. It seems, however, that Adelle is not yet ready to let the public see his face. At least not now. And so she just posted a photo of the man she calls her soul hiding his face in her anterior.

Well, regardless, at least we know Adelle is seeing someone. And that someone is celebrating his birthday today. Thank God for this day because it has enabled us at least know something about Adelle.

So ladies and gentlemen, let us all sing a happy birthday to this man:

adelleonyango We’re trying to stay up till 12:01 because we’ll be 1minute in to my soulmate’s birthday! And on the 4th a soul that I would later come to love in its entirety was gifted to the world!  #SoHappyYoudThinkItsMYbday

 

A beautiful wet Thursday morning here in the heartbeat of Kenya! It seems the rains aren’t going to stop pounding the city any time soon. Yesterday two socialites, Huddah Monroe and Joe Muchiri, dominated headlines after they took their brawl to social networking sites. To get a scoop of this and all other exciting stories, check out the articles below:

#10Ngina Kenyatta Aside, These Daughters Of The Nigerian President Will Give You Goosebumps.

Everyone I know has a tall strange tale to narrate about the Kenyan touts, they are a lot that thrive in sadistic exploitation of the common mwananchi who use the public transport. They are to be found running into the dark with your fare balance, abusing you and sometimes ignoring your plea for help… 

The  Chairman of National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) Dr. David Ole  Sankok praised touts from kinoo who have been helping people with disabilities board or alight from matatus. In a statement, he reiterated: 

“As the chairman of NCPWD one of the major challenges facing my significant constituent is public transport. We have lobbied, we have complained and we have scratched our heads due to this headache.But at this point I wish to congratulate this driver and his conductor who work in Nairobi town -Kinoo. Every single day they go to Westlands ,ABC place to pick staff with disabilities from their places of work and drive them to their homes at normal bus fare rates. This saves them the agony of crossing the busy Waiyaki way and also saves them the hassle of bus drivers leaving them stranded at bus stops.It is great compassion and humanity. I wish to request for more champions who are in the matatu industry who will support our journey in accessing public transport.”

Here are the amazing touts who were being praised.

60 days since the President tabled the infamous corruption list of shame, Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has finally stepped into office after stepping aside to pave way for investigations into corruption allegations leveled against him.

It seems the Senator is a free man. He has not, however, been out of the limelight. In fact he has been around with his Sonko Rescue Team, an initiative he started to help Nairobians.

But who was at hand to welcome the senator back to work?

Well, it was one of Kenya’s finest footballers, Dennis Oliech. Mike Sonko has shared a photo of the two sharing good moments together in his office and says they were discussing matters Kenyan football.

Here is what the senator said:

Back to work in my office jana watu wangu and I started by honouring a courtesy call visit from our reknowned International Football Player Dennis Oliech touching lightly on the future of our Kenyan Football.

 

 

The two dudes have literally become celebrities overnight! Kinoo matatu operators are the talk of the nation.

Their photos are immensely doing rounds on the internet, the Kinoo matatu driver and his conductor that have baffled many.

The two gentlemen, and I say again…GENTLEMEN, defy the common notion that matatu drivers and their touts are heartless rowdy individuals who are only driven by craving for moola.

The two go to ABC place every day to pick and drop disabled passengers at their place of work at NO extra fee!

Yes, there are still nice people out there working in the matatu industry. Kenyans from all walks of life have been applauding the two for their noble deed.

 

 

 

 

Capital FM Joe Muchiri and socialite Huddah Monroe have been the subject of discussion since last night when the two took to social media to trade insults.

While Huddah accused Joe of meddling in affairs that are not directly in his line, the latter came out to defend himself against the backlash from the socialite.

And as the scandal meanders on, details have surfaced on the social media showing a phone conversation alleged to be between Joe and Huddah. (Read here).

And now Joe Muchiri has come out to deny that he ever had such a conversation with Huddah.

It was after comedian and Nation FM presenter Obinna Ike Igwe posted the conversation and tagged Joe Muchiri. Muchiri commented and denied it saying the conversation was from a Huawei phone yet he uses an iphone 6.

Here is what he said:

 

Remember Corporal Linda Okello, the former Kiambu-based policewoman who drew public attention because of her tight official skirt? Well, another female police officer is walking down her path with her gigantic bum.

Policewomen with titanic booties are turning out to be more of celebrities than law enforcement officers.

Even though these crops of police don’t solicit for publicity, their assets are their express tickets to limelight.

Another cop is giving Team Mafisi a reason to smile after her photo started doing rounds on social media.

The lady police has a bright future behind her, one which has made thirst brothers boldly declare their intentions.

The well-endowed lady is from our backyard neighbor. She serves in the Ugandan police force, or is it service?

Folks from Banana Republic have been driven into a wild frenzy over her gigantic booty. They were loud enough to be heard over the border.

Kenyans were however quick to squash the excitement reminding them their cop’s booty is nothing to be compared with Linda’s.

Janet Mbugua’s meticulous wedding has been struck by enough conspiracy theories already! Folks are unearthing assumptions that are just ruffling her feathers.

Just a few days ago, some knuckleheads, majority being ladies, went on rampage on social media to spew their exasperating comments in regard to Janet Mbugua.

Another dude, Moree, (a videographer) has come up with a gripping theory as to why Janet’s wedding shall be an epic fail.

Moree argues that since Janet’s hubby, Eddie Ndichu, has a twin brother, Paul Ndichu, who also happens to be Grace Msalame’s ex, he (Eddie) shall ditch Janet just like his bro did to her former curvaceous wife.

Are you reading along the lines really? Well, according to Moree’s theory, twins have a tendency of doing things alike. Blood/DNA thing!

He says history will just be repeating itself. Word on the street is that Janet is already expectant with twins.

The videographer based his argument on the fact that Eddie Ndichu’s brother walked out of his marriage leaving Grace Msalame to solely fend for their twin daughters. (The part where Paul Ndichu is said to be a dead beat dad is based on hearsay.)

Now that Janet is rumored to be expecting twins, you can clearly see why Moree is defending his absurd argument.

He recorded a video justifying his assertion, check it out below:

She is one popular girl this Neomi Wambui. A girl who made a journey from Limuru one  cold morning to follow her dreams in the big city. She  started a lucrative acting career and became quite the star in the  house of lungula and most recently “Fundimentals” – but her star does not dim there, she is currently one of the top female presenter in the 254… But Naomi loves party, in fact, in most parties, she is the life of the party.. 

 Last week during an event at a popular club in westlands, the radio queen sat badly exposing her thunderous thighs and probably part of her honey-pot! 

Gather all arouund, ye all of weak faith, prepare thyself for the spectacle of the week:

While some celebrities avoid controversy like a plague, others are stalked by it, but there are those who actively pursue it, and will do anything for a moment in the sun. Or for a little Buzz on Twitter.

And when it comes to controversy, Mustafa courts it like a beautiful nubile Nubian queen.
After releasing the track Dodoma Singida which had girls twerking vigorously in scanty clothes, Mustafa has released some photos that will certainly have tweeps talking.

The photo depicts the often controversial rapper lying on a bed in between two skimpily clad women. It didn’t take long for the internet to react, with disparaging remarks from the peanut gallery and compliments from the thirsty.

I wonder what Nyota Ndogo will feel about this, as she has in the past expressed disgust over what she calls the exploitation of women by the singer.

The Lang’ata land grabbing saga will forever remain etched in the minds of Kenyans, especially after school children were tear gassed as they tried to get back their grabbed land through a very publicized protest.

Weston Hotel was also dragged into this mess and was blamed for grabbing the children’s land. Ruto has come out to distance himself from the grabbed land but has admitted that he has vested interests in the Weston Hotel. He was also quick to distance Weston Hotel from the Lang’ata Road primary school land grabbing saga.

This was o Citizen TV’s The Big Question yesternight .

He also said that the person responsible for the grabbing who also owns huge tracts of land in Lang’ata is in court and Weston Hotel was clean form the whole scandal.

It seems 2015 is a year for TV sirens. Janet Mbugua caused a stir on both mainstream and the social media when she wedded her fiancée Eddie Ndichu over the weekend in a glamorous ceremony at Chaka Ranch in Nyeri.

After Janet Mbugua, we did an exclusive of some of the TV personalities expected to tie the knot this year. As it turned out, majority of them were drawn from NTV.

It seems it is not ending here. Once again, NTV anchor Jane Ngoiri has hinted that wedding bells are likely to ring any time from now.

Through her Instagram account, Ngoiri posted a photo of wedding rings and indicated that she is bracing herself for the same.

janengoiri14Wedding preps #excited#happy thanks to Anne…Beauty and Beyond

If it turns out that Jane is indeed preparing to wed, then it means the entire NTV team is in for a very ceremonious year.

Dan Mwangi, Trevor Ombicha, Mercy Juma and Dennis Okari are some of the NTV journalists set to tie the knot in the course of this year.

 

 

Yes! The fine piece of British engineering is now crisscrossing Nairobi roads causing a stir whenever folks land their eyes on it!

Nairobi’s upper class has been dashing to importing high-end ultimate European-made road monsters. Lots of flashy rides have been spotted on Kenyan roads as the filthy rich continue with their surge of shipping in these kinds of vehicles.

Last January, some loaded guy sent shockwaves when he decided to import a Rolls Royce Ghost onboard a Boeing 747 KLM Cargo plane.

The Kes 25 Million British machine has since been spotted with Kenyan plates cruising around the city. The silver Rolls Royce is making heads turns whenever it’s being spotted in Nairobi.

Lots of folks have been uploading its photo on social media the moment they catch a glimpse of it glittering on the roads.

See some of the photos of the Ghost below:

 

After making a name for himself in the industry, NTV’s screen bombshell Smriti Vidyarthi revealed that Richard Chacha would be leaving NTV.

Many have wondered why Chacha left the Kimathi Street-based TV station, was he fired? Did he land a new job or what happened?

Chacha has today revealed why he left the station that has seen him become a household name. He says that he has retired, announcing his departure with this statement

“After ten years of service at NTV Kenya, I have finally retired from active journalism. Thank you all for your support. God loves us all.”

 

She is one of the most beautiful TV personalities in the 254. She has arguably the best voice on TV and of course she is among the best-dressed TV sirens to ever grace our screens.

Her glamour, glitz and glam have made her station cling to her amid rumours that NTV were eagerly eyeing her services as a news anchor.

Away from the glamour and sweet looks she brings on our screens every day, she is a staunch farmer as she has revealed to us.

Beatrice Gatonye of KBC has flaunted a photo of herself in the middle of a big potato plantation and the TV queen says it is her project.

Who ever thought Beatrice would be doing this? Many a times people with good paying jobs do not give a second thought to other projects like farming and businesses but it seems Beatrice has swiftly deviated from this notion to embrace the practice.

She says it is a project she has embarked on because of the love she has for farming.

Indeed what this photo tells is the power of passion for something. Passion drives even mountains out of the way.

Here is the 10-acre piece of land glittering with potatoes:

 

SONU chairman Babu Owino is not new to the tabloids or the newspapers.

He is one of Kenya’s most prominent student leaders having served for a long time as a student union chairman at the University of Nairobi.

Babu Owino has sent a letter to the president requesting permission to raze down all abortion clinics with one located at Afya Centre being the first to go up in flames.

 

“I look forward to your prompt response and provision of enough petrol” he wrote adding that his reason for this rash decision was because “Last month a University of Nairobi student almost lost her life in the middle of a painful operation.” he said.

We are still riding on the Joe Muchiri and Huddah Monroe saga as the two continue to trade insults between themselves.

While Huddah is calling Joe unpalatable names, the latter is defending himself viciously by telling Huddah he has no enough money to be her sponsor.

But do you know we have the genesis of their ugly beef? Keep checking Ghafla for details. Away from that, comedian Chipukeezy has once again exploited this opportunity fully to crack a joke out of it.

Through his Instagram account, Chipukeezy has posted a photo of himself with Joe Muchiri and says he is introducing him to his fans.

Well, what caught our eyes is the synonymy between Chipukeezy’s photo and that Huddah Monroe posted accusing Joe Muchiri of bedding cheap brown girls.

This begs the question: Is Chipukeezy among the brown girls Huddah was talking about? Well, definitely not. Guess the comedian was only trying to stress what Huddah accused Joe Muchiri of doing.

Huddah posted:

And here is what Chipukeezy posted: 

chipukeezy Ladies and gentlemen introducing @joewmuchiri heheh

 

 

 

Everyone loves the president’s daughter, in fact most people would sell an arm, a leg and their  soul to the devil just to spend a day with her- But wishes are not horses,and beggars walk. We can however agree  on one thing, Ngina Kenyatta is one of the prettiest daughters of African presidents, she loves fun, dresses just fine and knows  when to show up for high end events, like the Karen Golf tournament.. But is she the only hottie we have our sights on. 

 These two photos of the daughters of the new Nigerian first family has had the world talking. Particularly here in Kenya. We haven’t seen many families with pretty sisters since the Obama’s. 

So we can all shift some attention to the Nigerians for a healthy while.

Huddah Monroe has been trending since the beginning of the day thanks to the frenzy she caused on twitter and instagram last evening.

The self-styled socialite launched scathing attacks on Capital FM producer and social media dweller Joe Muchiri after the latter attacked her following her advice that ladies should have sponsors.

Huddah was seemingly enraged and went on a rampage, calling Muchiri all sorts of names and bashing him for what he does and owns.

Muchiri responded with his own defense mechanisms and social media was flooded with all manner of insults between the two. Their fans also joined in the bandwagon to defend their idols in equal measure.

Well, one of the things Huddah stuck to was that her sponsors have made her who she is and she is proud of it.

And now the socialite has taken to her instagram account to prove that a sponsor is necessary in her life and that of every girl who wants to live better.

Through her instagram account, Huddah has posted a photo of a list of the cash she used to service her Range Rover. Remember she reminded Joe that he has no car but he normally borrows his friends’ cars to drop his bitches home.

Well, here is the receipt:

huddahthebosschick Woke up to my Car Service invoice. Kshs 660,000 . He he he!

 

Which party-loving Kenyan hasn’t had a wild night out, putting an exclamation point on it by hurling in the gutter and cursing at people when it ended? Lots of us have awakened bleary eyed, lying next to the ugly Mr or Mrs. ’What Was I Thinking’. Being the last to leave the club, and not under your own power, is practically a rite of passage for a Kenyan reveler.

And then there’s that other kind of excess, You’re the guy who read “partying” in the headline of this post and your pupils dilated in pure reflex. Maybe you’re still tweaking from last night and have porn playing in three different tabs on your laptop right now. You have probably missed work and called in sick. Many of us have been in the Kweli Jana Kuliendaje mess, but for some ninjas, before you know it, it becomes a matter of How the hell do I get myself out of this mess.

How do you know when you’ve gone from the life of the party to a useless matapaka who hobnobs with bartenders and sprinkles your Instagram captions with boasts about Johnnie Walker and Blue Moon?

Here are some clues that your playtime might actually be crossing the line.

If you’re asking yourself if you party too much, you probably are

It sounds like a trick question but it’s usually true. Underneath your exhuberant party animal exterior, you’re starting to question why you can never seem to walk away from the dance floor, the bar stool or the sticky sofa at the VIP area. You take comfort that a lot of the things written below don’t apply to you, but you’re bothered about the ones that do.

You say, repeatedly, “Well, I’m never doing that again,” and then you do

Ever spend the morning trying to piece together what happened after getting your wrist stamped on the way into the club? Or maybe you actually do remember making out with your roommate’s boyfriend after Jameson shots So, you promise yourself you’re cleaning up your act, and then a funny thing happens: you do something equally as embarrassing the next weekend.

Some of us get the picture and don’t like what we see, so we stop it and move our lives along. If you’re stuck in the never/again/never/again cycle, you might be a hot mess.

Partying becomes more important than your mama, your child and business

You’re met with a perplexing dilemma: business meeting, time with family or happy hour.. If you’re choosing time with DJ Bunduki over business, family and friends, rethink your priorities.

Or maybe you are a grown woman and have kids. Yes, you have children at home, but you go to the club anyway. You feel as long as you get home before they wake up to cook them breakfast and send them off to school, you’re a good parent.

It isn’t just about people, either.. The hobby projects you used to enjoy are gathering dust  Whatever your interests, if you’re missing out on them because there are drink specials at the bar (or a sheesha pipe in your mouth), it’s time to take a break and rediscover your lifelong passions.

Your online profile says more about partying than it does about you

Does your social media profile devote prime space to phrases like “party and play” and “anything goes?” Does 90% of your Instagram consist of club photos and beer bottles? Did you even notice there are other fields to fill out?. Do you change your profile location based on whose couch you’ve been crashing? If any of these apply, it might be time to stop reading and do a search for rehab centers.

Consequences are ignored

The fact that KPLC cut your power off or your rent was late again could be a rare financial squeeze beyond your control. Or it might be because constant partying is expensive, and is squeezing out your paid work time, and your disposable income is dwindling.

You have work at 8am the next day, but your friends find a way to “convince you” why it’s a great idea to go out to the club and party till 5am. You keep telling yourself you only need a couple hours of sleep and you’re good. This was a good idea until you woke up after 2 hours of sleep still drunk to get ready for work.

Something happened while partying that you really regret

You used to play it safe sexually every time, or at least know the person well enough to make an informed choice. Then one night you decide condoms ruin the mood — a decision you make when you’re completely wasted. With a total stranger.

You got arrested, or had a close call with a cop. You wrecked a car. You woke up bruised. You look like they have begun applying the make-up for your Walking Dead cameo. But you write it off to bad luck or say you’re just not feeling very well.

Did your former best friend stop talking to you about something you can’t remember doing? Are you piling up a lot of former best friends? And speaking of friends…

You’re getting socially schizophrenic

You have your peeps neatly separated into two groups: the ones who party like fiends, and the ones who are decent. And you do not want them to meet each other. Like, ever. So you spend more effort keeping people apart

You’re lying so much you can’t keep track

You’re keeping secrets from nearly everyone. Your social world is getting smaller while you keep trimming away the party pals that can’t keep up with you (or know you too well). You start to feel like you are hiding who you really are, and you’re more anxious about people finding out your true identity.

You’re not the dependable person you used to be

You call in sick. You cancel meetings, even with your mom. If you are in campo, you go from Dean’s favorite list to the D List in one semester. And it isn’t just you that isn’t dependable anymore. The party favors — whatever they are — aren’t packing the punch they used to. It takes more to get you off.

Basically, you’re not showing up for life anymore. Nothing is so important you can’t cancel at the last minute in order to go partying

You can’t stop

If you’re convinced you can slow it down any time, then try this simple test: stop. Whether it’s drinking or inhaling smoke, just take a break from partying. For just two months at first, stop everything. If you can’t manage that, or the very idea sounds impossible to you, then you’ve got yourself a problem.

Or maybe you party just about every day of the week, but because you do charity work in Children’s Homes, go hiking with your friends in Longonot or do anything remotely normal (outside from partying) and post to social media you think you are a great citizen.No you are not

Sometimes, life is a game of musical chairs. At some point, the music halts and it’s time to take a seat. If the dance beat in your overly self-medicated brain won’t stop playing and you won’t sit down, get some help.

Life gets better. If you are guilty of the above crimes, it’s time to steer your ship to steadier waters. It’s time to rewrite your narrative. Don’t say the sheriff didn’t warn you

Over the weekend, a flurry of celebrity events went down, from Janet Mbugua’s beautiful wedding at Chaka Ranch, to Lupita’s sister getting hitched, to Jolene’s baby shower.

Jolene who will be welcoming here newborn girl in about a month had a baby shower to commemorate this milestone in her life. The baby shower had a pink and white theme since it’s a girl and the guests didn’t disappoint as they brought out their cutest frocks. Jolene looked positively adorable in a light pink dress as she posed with her friends during her shower.

Those in attendance included celebrities such as actresses Catherine Kamau, Ida Wanyoike and socialite Cuppie Ayokya. Here are some photos from the event

Socialite Corazon Kwamboka and her ‘new’ friend Pierra Makena were caught doing what Team Mafisi embraces the most!

Is Corazon teaching Pierra Makena some bad manners? Of late, the two have been tight occasionally going into raptures about each other on social media.

Apparently there has been something fishy going on in their friendship, the two gorgeous ladies have been practicing ratchet stuff on the sidelines of the public eye.

It’s not as if there is something illegal with what they did, Team Mafisi will cheer them up because such kind of stuff is what keeps them going.

The socialite was spotted swaying her gigantic fundamentals in a corridor as Pierra Makena encouraged her to shake them even more vigorous.

Corazon was dressed in a mermaid gown, one that tightly gripped her fat butt bringing out unrestricted view of her curves.

When it comes to a list of the biggest and hottest booties in Kenya,  Mother-in-law’s Ida ‘Olive’ Wanyoike rarely makes the list.

Mostly because she is not one to post thirst traps with her assets spilling all over the place on Instagram.

But she was recently in rare form when she showed of what her mama gave her in a curve hugging dress. This was at her friend’s Jackline Mwangi’s baby shower. Doesn’t she look fantastic?

As I said before Kenyans love malls and foreign outlets such as KFC, Subway and Mr. Price.

And foreign and locals investors have noticed this, thus the increasing sprouting of malls around the country and infiltration by international brands.

Now, Walmart will be coming to the 254 soon if all goes well. Walmart which was founded by Samuel Moore Walton and James Lawrence Walton on July 2, 1962 and now the largest shopping retail outlet in the U.S. was to set up earlier but have failed to do so due to some unavoidable circumstances.

“We should have been here a while ago but we just couldn’t get the deal right — unfortunately it’s taken us too long,” said  Mark Turner, MD at Massmart, the South African group in which Walmart bought a controlling stake in 2011

 

Since Mexican-born Kenyan starlet Lupita  Nyong’o stormed into global superstardom some 2 years ago,her star has never stopped shining. Nor her upward trajectory slowed down.

For over 24 months now,this screen goddess,with flawless ebony skin,ravishing smile,impeccable acting chops and toned body,has remained on top of her Hollywood game…winning hearts all across the globe,breaking the ceiling glass,gracing dozens of high-end magazine covers and being crowned the face-and voice-of countless beauty products globally.

But that Oscar award-the highest award in the global film industry-is what truly cemented her historic place in the annals of the much-vaunted Hollywood cinema house. And launched her into a World of endless glamour and glitz and bottomless fortunes.

We celebrated her…Not just because she was our daughter but also because she was our voice; the black voice.

And even when the pesky Western Media would still insist on labelling her “Mexican”-without her objection-we rose up,enraged,to correct these heritage assassins and claim our own product.

We showed this golden girl of Hollywood nothing but unbridled love. We poured out hearts out to her…And swore by her name. We even took her famous gem,‘Your dreams are valid’ and ran with it…imprinting it onto the fertile minds of our young ones…and retweeting it a billion times.

Still,it seemed,all this was not really working the magic we hoped it would on this screen whizkid. She,somehow,still remained somewhat cold..And didn’t seem to return the love. Or show a similar amount of pride in not just her home. But her own people-Us.

Still,we loved her more. And assumed she was too busy to notice us fawning over her,notice us going gaga over her and notice us falling over ourselves to catch a piece of her.

Still,it seemed NOT to work.

Typically,we expected this girl would tour home with that powerful Oscar gong and celebrate with her own nationals…we waited,but…Nothing. She never came. And never indicated any signs of homesickness.

We assumed she was too busy shooting those Star Wars trilogys and that,once she was free,she would sneak a flight and fly home. Many many months later…It didn’t happen.

We waited for many months…Waited for her to buoyantly return,brandishing all those awards and wearing that broad Hollywood smile…We were ready to meet her at the Airport…In our thousands…Ready to clean the roads for her,ready to carry placards for her,ready to paint the city red for her and ready to dance and sing ourselves lame for her. Still,It never happened.

We started getting tired of loving this film princess…And started getting weary of her not-so-sweet attitude towards us.

All we had was her heavily-bearded politician father…who,let’s face it,is not exactly the most electrifying character we’ve ever seen.

But when we heard that she was traveling to neighboring Uganda to shoot some African-style movie,playing a character we’ve since forgotten,we hoped that she’d steal a minute and drop by…I mean,it would take her a couple hours from Kampala to Nairobi. But still,NOTHING!

Even though she stayed in Kampala for almost a month shooting and dinning and meeting Uganda celebrities and what not,still,girl was ‘too busy’ to drop by. And see the hordes of diehards waiting eagerly to see,hug,touch,photograph and celebrate her for months.

After that Uganda blitz ended,she whiffed away…Faster than she came! Damn!

Our hopes dwindled even further…And we even started questioning our own love for her.

And then again,we are told she sneaked into the Country last weekend to attend her younger sister’s wedding in Naivasha…And still,we didn’t see her. Didn’t hear from her. And didn’t even know she was around.

She never spared a minute to say “Habari” to her millions of Kenyan fans…Never saw the need to drop by a local TV station and chat with our TV hosts…Maybe Larry Madowo. Maybe Jeff Koinange. Maybe Lilian Muli.

She just flew in…Sat at the wedding for over 24 hours-or more-and flew out! Oh! How uniquely African!

But really,in African societies,it’s usually imperative for a long-lost daughter or son to come back home and say ‘Habari’.

In African traditional societies,when a daughter or son achieves great success and praise abroad,she or he is usually expected to fly home and share the success with the locals. With the fellow nationals. Dance with them,sing with them,sit with them and bask in the glory with them.

Africans are hugely celebratory people…And we love to welcome our own,share their success and partake on the pride,too.

Even our own Government  Ministers do hold public ‘Homecoming’ ceremonies in their constituencies to celebrate their appointment to The Cabinet…which really is marked as a public service achievement.

We want our girl …We want to see her…And sing,dance for and praise her. African style.

But this woman seems not interested. Not now…Not ever.

So F**k You too,Baby!

We’re tired of waiting….in vain.

 

Lots of questions sprung up after Citizen TV’s eye candy walked down the aisle. Janet has since shed light on some of the issues that made some folks seat uneasy.

Last Saturday, Janet Mbugua and her sweetheart, Eddie Ndichu, exchanged vows in a colorful ceremony that was held at the expansive Chaka Ranch in Nyeri County.

Of course folks had to pay lots of attention to Janet’s dress and the whole event in general. Lots of questions were asked about the same.

Most people, especially ladies, were eager to know a thing or two about Janet’s dress. The Citizen TV anchor responded to quench the thirst of this bandwagon.

She revealed details of her dress, makeup, hair, groom’s suit and other beauty accessories that damsels are obsessed with.

I felt great! Kudos too for the people that put our looks together!
