Wyre Is Bringing A Jamaican Lady Home, Check This Out (Video)

He can be described perhaps as the gentleman on the Kenyan Music and Showbiz maintaining so clean an image for so long it hurts. He is also among the most consistent performers in the industry an attribute his latest album Lion, bears testament to.

It is thus expected but also a wonder that his private life is hardly in the limelight. However, it is finally out, Wyre is bringing home a Jamaican girl. If you thought it ended with ‘Nakupenda’ you were definitely wrong as his next hit song coming off the Lion album attests his love for the Kingston Girl. He has seriously moved along from his days of ‘Kenyan Girl’ though his vibe remains the same. all his fans can do now is wait for the lady to come home.

Meet Citizen Tv’s Willis Raburu Working As A Tout! (Video)

Before he made it to the big league, Willis Raburu might have been a tout, a new video has proven beyond doubt  that his “Makanga skills” come from years of experience. 

 In a recent shooting of an episode of power Breakfast which he hosts alongside the mellow voiced Kirigo Ngarua, the Moi University graduate took a moment to show of his “dandia mat” skills. 

He catcalled, whistled and rode on a yellow matatu proving beyond doubt. That in another life, Willis Raburu  would have been a tout on Rongai mats.

Social Media Calls For The Murder Of Mugo Wa Wairimu!

The wrath of the people has spoken. Social media has called for the Murder of the “quack doctor” Mugo wa Wairimu. 

 In a rather controversial statement years ago, Mugo supported a bill by Njoki Ndung’u  who had proposed that for Kenyans to Curb rape, all rapists were to be neutered. Castrated if you may. 

On Sunday, in an expose that rocked the nation, Mugo was exposed as a rapist who sedated guileless women at his Clinic in Githurai 44 before raping them. It was a shocking expose on a man that had been for years been the Facebook trailblazer and an ardent activist on human rights. 

An activist who spoke against societal rot and  ills had turned out to be a wolf, clothed in sheepskin.  Kenyans from across the divide have called for his arrest though he has since disappeared into thin air. 

A Facebook page which has already garnered 3000 likes in just a few days has called for the murder of the doctor.

JUST IN!Troubled Kenyatta Family-Owned Station Goes For Its Ex Presenter,Plots To Raid KBC Anytime From Now

Milele FM, a subsidiary of Mediamax Ltd, a company that is associated with the first family is in the final talks with its former Breakfast Show supremo Vincent Ateya in a bid to improve its GEO Polls ratings.

The mellow-voiced veteran presenter who resigned late last year after what he termed as “desire to pursue some other interests” has been spotted severally at DSM Place Mediamax offices.

When Ghafla! contacted him,his phone went unanswered.However a close source who is privy to such internal going-ons , disclosed to Ghafla that it is just a matter of time before Ateya puts pen to paper in what will see him dislocate Alphonce Oladipo who in the current situation is expected to return to K24 as sports anchor.

The move is a result of the dwindling ratings that the station’s premier morning show has recorded over the last last 8 months dropping from 3rd position to 6th, coming right behind fifth placed KBC’s Zinga La Asubuhi.

Ateya is remembered for keeping Citizen radio atop the national table with his common-man Swahili. Also being monitored keenly by Mediamax top brass is Geofrey Kwetemba from KBC Radio Taifa.

Keep it Ghafla! For the real time updates.

Citizen Tv’s Swaleh Mdoe And Amina Of Capital Fm Together? What’s Cooking?

Amina is funny, intelligent and has a voice that is to die for, her fashion sense is a story for another day. Swaleh Mdoe on the other hand is a keen, calculative news anchor famous for his quotable quotes on Citizen Tv’s nipashe.

 The two have beeen spotted together, something that the esteemed  lot that you all are hasn’t seen before, this begs the question, why are these two hanging out? Of course the idea that they might be having an romantic  relationship is itself lofty and far fetched. 

It is more of a platonic, work related  relationship or so I’ve gathered. 

11918007_1765983463631762_587353201_n.jpg

The two like Amina would reveal are currently working on a new Advert that will soon be on your Tv screens. It will be interesting to see the two try out some Tv Chemistry. 

Ghafla will keep you up to date. 

Mutahi Ngunyi Eats A Humble Pie And Apologizes To The Luos, But They Maul Him The More!

Mutahi Ngunyi called Luos poor. We  all know that poverty is an antonym of Luo. Poverty and Luos don’t mix at all.

 Now Kenyans on Twitter led an online campaign that has compelled Mutahi Ngunyi to eat a humble pie and apologize to the Luo fraternity. The ordeal that went on for two weeks saw Mutahi Ngunyi present a white goat to Apollo Mboya in atonement of his transgressions. 

But it seems that the ordeal is far from over, the Luo community feel that for him to be properly forgiven he should give every Luo in the world a goat! How many goats again? Looks like hella lot of goats people. 

The Luo community has gone ahead to reiterate that the blood sacrifices are not a Luo things and therefore unacceptable: Sample some responses from social media: 

NyarKonywera Okew K’obong Did i hear goat? We r luos bana not some nondescript tribe u insult n apologize with a calabash of muratina n a defiled goat

Jaduong Odongo K’onyango Mwenda We need no further insults from you #Ngunyi. This your goat which you have sedated and sodomised cannot be used to reverse our opinion of you.

Job Ounda Whats a goat…Which Luo recognizes a goat…….Afadhali ile matusi ibaki……Hez confirmed that Luos are poor if we accept the goat…Goat lives in any kinda environment…….Afadhali tukubali matusi than hii mbuzi

Rowzey Njoroge-Githang’a is Apollo Mboya the chairman for the Luo council of elders? #NonSig gesture!

Kevine Ochieng Jahono We don’t want that goat too. He must apologize to our political leader Hon Raila Odinga first.

James Mbogo a true man learn, realise ad understand his mistake by eventually giving bck with a white walking goat as a sn… to depict peace among everyone….

Gabby Kwena Baado hii ni nyam chom tu yao. Hajaapologize kwa Gor mahia, RAO, Lwam Bekele, Riek Machar, Tom Mboya, Jaro soja,Jack Ranguma endless list

11999026_10153397945626997_6126853515240307326_n.jpg

Maybe we should all cut him some slack, he behaved like the better man and offered an apology. It is a noble thing to apologize and escort it with a goat for good measure. But it seems like the drama just started. 

Mugo Wa Wairiumu, The Doctor Accused Of Raping His Patients Disappears

Mugo Wairimu a popular Facebook ‘bigwig’ is in piping hot soup after video of him allegedly molesting a passed out patient was aired on Citizen TV. A clip Mugo has called “fabricated”. Calling it “choreographed pornography”

But after a lot of both negative and positive comments, he deleted his account yesterday but he is now back on Facebook to cheers and support from his strange legion of fans.

Nairobi News reports that social media shenanigans aside, the popular Facebook figure is now allegedly on the run after jeering at the police and what he calls his haters.

Mugo escaped arrest and is now a fugitive of the law. He is said to be hiding in an MP’s house, this is according to the police. Kasarani OCPD Robinson Mboloi said that “We are pursuing him though and we will not relent until he is arrested. His clinics have been closed. ”

DJ Pinye Gets Called Out For His ‘Hypocrisy’ Bone’eye and DK Kwenye Beat Lead The Assault

Kenyan artists are taking the issue of local music being given 70% airplay pretty seriously and deservedly so. Not only did they go ahead with their protest but are also calling out those perceived to be stumbling blocks to the promotion of local music.

One Person who has found himself on the wrong path is DJ Pinye. Despite having come up with Pinye’s Challenge a project aimed at pulling together different artists and producers to work towards the production of an album with the multiple award winning and long serving DJ. however, it appears DJ Pinye past actions have come back to haunt him. He has long been accused of filling his show ‘THE BEAT’ on NTV with foreign content. Infact, only last year was he accused of the same thing in the Papa Denis Injili video an allegation he never responded to giving reasons behind his refusal to play the song.

DK Kwenye Beat and Bone’Eye have calle dhim out in their respective social media posts using his challenge poster and writing ‘Wacha Ujinga Kwanza Cheza 70% Kenyan’. This is bound to build up to something and it remains to e seen who takes up DJ Pinye’s challenge. Here are the posts

Jaguar Becomes The First Kenyan Artist To Ride A Cyboard In London, He Joins Justin Beiber, Wiz Khalifa, Chris Brown And Others! (photos)

It is a well known fact that Jaguar Kenya falls under the coveted category of Kenya’s richest celebrities. 

 Yesterday we wrote to you that Jaguar was attending  Kenya Fest in London, a festival in London that celebrates the diverse Kenyan culture in music dance and what have you. While in London, other than acquiring a rich husky English twang, Jaguar has been experimenting with technology. His latest is a Cyboard. 

Commonly referred to as a scooter board is technically a motorized skateboard, a futuristic skateboard on wheels that is quite a thing in the western markets.  It has been quite a thing with celebrities  such as The Biebs himself, Chris Brown (who is awesome at it), Nick Jonas, Zedd, Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner, JR Smith, Nicki Minaj, Wiz Khalifa, Nina Agdal, David Ortiz, Karim Benzema, and Skrillex all whio have shared on social media their experience with the Scooter board. 

So Why wouldn’t Kenya’s richest musician follow the buzzards? Jaguar had an awkward moment balancing on Cyboard, hopefully, he will get the hang of it before jetting back.

You probably have heard about him, cause 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. He has made some hilarious clips imitating American based Tv shows; Breaking Bad and Power.

Sam West was born on June 14, 1985. He is a radio personality in one of Kenya’s famous media houses, a media mogul and of course a comedian. He actually became a comedian by mistake while he was having a drink with his pals. He was handed a mic in a Karaoke session, instead of singing the guy cracked up the crowd with jokes! He got a standing ovation. Then began his comedy journey…

Rising from a mistake, now Sam West get’s some very alluring deals and events to headline.  He actually will be debuting his comedy career this month, the 25th of September 2015. At the prestigious British Council Compound. I can’t start guessing how he got there, that place has some serious security detail! Sneeze suspiciously, you’ll have the whole security team on your ass hailing you from there!

Apparently the event is by invites only, and will be flocked by some top names in the entertainment industry. MC will be JB Masanduku, Solinga Music band will do a live performance and the re-known Dj lean will be on the decks.

Five Things Most Kenyan Artistes Can Learn From The Lyrical Masterpiece That Is Juliani

It is a debate(s) that has evolved into a quandary. Just why it seems most Kenyan artistes are not that good. Local musicians demand a larger quantity of airplay, Radio and TV producers as well as the public demand for more quality local music. Why do some start out well and fade off or suddenly change to boring monotonous musicians and some never just seem to make the next step up. This leaves a few to cater for a very demanding audience. It is not really a dilemma if the musicians were to actually stop doing things the same way they have been doing and expecting different results pardon the cliché but someone wise defined that as insanity.

So I picked Juliani as someone to exemplify what the public craves for both from the local artist and the music they produce. He is not an artist with the most YouTube video views, he is not the one who will fill your gossip pages day in day out; he is above that. Is he the most successful musician in the country? I would say arguably for no matter which way you measure success he will be at the top three of most lists. Is he the most consistent artist? Hands down Yes! Is he the most relevant artists in the country right now? Show me another I would love to increase my list. Here are the five things Kenyan artists will be better served learning from Juliani.

  1. Invest in your work

When the whole quality thing started, video quality and the beats was the main issue. The producers upped their game and the video directors too and artistes were not afraid to get to and pass the one million figure for a good video. However, somewhere in that pursuit, they lost their skill or desire to write a song well. Not all are made out to be both songwriters and performers. Juliani is arguably the best lyricist in the country and this flows over to other facets of his music. He can get off with an average video but the song stays tight. So musicians invest in your whole body of work and get the best people to do that which you cannot.

  1. Do make an extensive body of quality work

This is one area most local artistes are very challenged at. One swallow does not a summer make so three hits will not sustain you especially when you follow it up with three other average productions and forgettable collaborations. Contrast that with Juliani’s now third album of hit after hit and a host of memorable collaborations and you have an assortment of classical songs. This is not only a mark of consistency but it is also hard to see how you would miss airplay even in the face of stingy stations.

  1. Cut across the entire demography and be diverse

Our artistes would do with a lot of help here. it is no longer about producing music to just a small group, not if you want to achieve relevance and influence and be played across shows. Gospel or secular, pop or rhumba or hip-hop or genge and whatever other style there is out there. Everyone has got to be able to listen to you even if it is just some of your songs. Juliani’s songs are national anthems cutting cross the business titans, the guy at the slums the elderly the politicians the youth the drunkard and the pator at the pulpit. Now that is quality music.

  1. Do practice/prepare and deliver in your shows

There are some artists who make a simple school hall performance as memorable as a BET or VMA performance (okay hyperbole moment) and some turn up at a festival or main show performance not sure whether they care about their audience or getting of the audience as soon as possible. On behalf of all people out there who have ever gone to a show to see an artist let me remind our artists when we come to your shows we are there to see you perform. Give us a night we would cherish. There is a reason you and not the food offered take a prominent part of the poster. Please do turn up not just physically but in your show as well. If we had come to have ten or fifteen minutes of your time we would have gotten ourselves three of your songs. To Juliani and the few others who do make it memorable salute!

  1. Be more than your music

The Corporate world may call it corporate social responsibility, for an individual whose work and payment derives much from the society a point has to come when people remember you for more than just your music. Sure charity may be the opium for the rich and you are not out to solve all the world’s problems, but you can make it a little better. Get involved not just sending a donation, be actually and consistently involved in a community to your best. I need not outline Juliani’s examples.

This is not too much to ask from our artistes, I mean they overcame their biggest hurdle placing the work out for public critique; they shouldn’t fail to improve on it.

Have a different view, let me hear you.

A Gorgeous Sarah Hassan Canoodling With Her Boyfriend in Cape Town! (photo+ Video)

Sarah Hassan seems to met her Lochinvar somewhere in the vast expanse that is the world , the sad thing is that some of us were not told that she got taken and are currently nursing our broken hearts. 

 Last weekend, the sexy lass was gallivanting in Cape Town with her significant other close in tow. She wrote, in great detail and to our lofty imagination how She and her Knight in shimmering Armour had sampled over 24 wines on her birthday in cape town, but that was not before they visited the famous fairy tale-ish  Stellenbosch botanical gardens.

Check out the following picture:

Sarah-Hassan_1.png

Pray tell, is the boyfriend South African or does the couple have a thing for South  African wine? 

Of course some of you would want to console and pamper your egos that the man in the picture is just a family friend and therefore deeply entrenched in the friend-zone. No people he is not.

Check out this video of the said bloke canoodling with the Sexy Sarah Hassan.

5 Things We Can Do With The Kshs 109,000 Wheelbarrow

The Bungoma governor tried so hard to prove that he wasn’t to blame for the purchase of the Sh 109,00 wheelbarrows that have now made news. He did a poor job at defending himself. In fact, he just looked like a kid trying to explain to their mum that they didn’t lick half of the sugar.

Like everyone else, it tried to imagine what the ‘special’ wheelbarrows can do and here’s what I came up with

Use it to make original songs for Octopizzo

Kibera bred rapper Octopzzo has disappointed his fans. I don’t understand how one single rapper can take the whole nation for fools. He just might have a way out though. A 109K wheelbarrow,, I am assuming it comes with studio equipment for Octopzzio to make original songs with. It must have. With it, he won’t have to lie to us about working with August ALsina and DJ Mustard.

Carry Corazon Kwamboka’s a$$ In it

Oh dear. Have you seen the way Corazon’s ass jiggles when she walks. It reminds me of the oceanic view of the waves when relaxing at the beach. Sometimes I feel it’s too heavy for her. Such a ‘pretty’ lady shouldn’t have to carry a load so huge by herself. She needs the assistance of the Bungoma wheelbarrow. Sponsors, it’s your time to step up

Protect Harambee Stars goal post with it

It’s worrying that Harambee Stars concede too many goals Every matchday, it’s the same old story –losses, losses, losses. It’s about time our national team employed a change in strategy. This includes seeking outside help and where else to turn to but the wheelbarrow. Place it near the goal post and opposing players will keep marveling at it instead of scoring goals

Navigate through Nairobi with the looming El Nino

Weather experts are saying EL Nino is coming. It sounds like doomsday. They are giving it so much hype like a hurricane. Maybe we need this ‘hurubaro’ to navigate Nairobi streets when the rains start. We don’t want to pay ‘Easy Coach’ and ‘Mash Poa’ fares just to go to Westlands.

Castrate Mugo Wa Wairimu and lock him in it for life

I am assuming the wheelbarrow is so good it comes with knives and a jail cell. Mugo Wa Wairimu should be castrated in it and locked up for life

Jaguar Puts ‘The Star’ On Blast For ‘Killing’ Sonko

The star making blunders is beginning to sound like a broken record because they do it so often that it is becoming hard to keep up with their latest slip-ups.

The Radio Africa owned paper is again in hot water after accidentally killing Sonko. In a tweet sent out rather hastily, the star claimed that Sonko had passed away while in actual fact it was his dad that did.

Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko passed on at Nairobi Hospital after being admitted to the ICU on Friday. Our condolence to the family.

Jaguar took to Social media to blast them for this blunder writing this

Eeeeeeeh hee really??…according to me its the dad not Hon mike#someonetellthestar

2 Cents: This is Why I Think That Mugo Wa Wairimu Is Guilty Of Rape And Other Atrocities.

On Sunday, I was oscillating between the expose by Citizen Tv and Mugo Wa Wairimu’s social media page. It was a circus to say the least. 

 Shortly after realizing that he had been smoked out, Mugo took to Facebook where for hours he spewed and churned out updates blaming his political nemesis for ganging up and paying royal media (citizen tv) to run a skewed, stage-managed story about him. 

That was bullshit. 
Yesterday, the man who had for years purported to be a gynecologist vanished off social media in a move that he anticipates will  cover his tracks especially after a warrant of arrest was issued against him. 

Let us give the man the benefit of the doubt, maybe he wasn’t the one on the videos we saw, his is a big clinic, anyone could have crept in while he was away and committed the atrocity. 

So If someone broke into his clinic and committed the crime, Why wasn’t  Mugo angry and throwing his usual tantrums on Facebook?  As an anti-corruption crusader and a trail-blazer for civil rights he should have been happy with Royal Media and had the police investigate the supposed break-in, not take to Facebook like a jilted teenager spewing bile on his imagined “haters” and “political nemesis” 

Shady doctor this. 

For a minute too, lets assume that the Kenyan Medical board is wrong and Mugo Wa Wairimu is indeed a gifted A class gynecologist. Why is he not bringing his credentials? Assume someone doubted my Education and went on to lie that I never attended School, the noblest  thing for me would be to go back to my house and come with my Bachelor of arts degree and quell all rumors, right? 

Mugo has done none of that, he has not called a press conference to present evidence that he is truly a doctor by the virtue of an education and experience. He has instead taken to Facebook to insult imaginary people before taking off. 

That to me is juvenile. He should be arrested and charged accordingly. 

 

 

After Allegedly ‘Qataaring’ The Lucrative Deal From Qatar, Julius Yego Now Lands A Money-Spinning Deal

2015 is a good year to be Julius Yego.

He won Kenya’s fifth gold medal at the 15th edition of the IAAF World Championships with an impressive 92.72-metres throw in the men’s javelin final making it Kenya’s first Gold in history at a field event.

There were rumors that he was even sought after by Qatar but ‘qataad’ the deal. Something which Yego came out to refute. The Qatar deal may have been a cock-and-bull story but his new deal is pert real.

As I write this, Yego is officially the ambassador of Tusker Lager. And he made this official by tweeting “My name is Julius Yego, World Javelin Champion, and I am #TeamKenya #TwendeKazi #TuskerLager#TwendeKazi”

This is Why Thika road’s Garden City Is Trending WorldWide.

Yesterday, 3 people were arrested at the Thika Road Mall Garden City after one of them was apprehended wielding an explosive device  which was meant to be used at the newly opened Garden City mall. 

 The mall had to be evacuated pending an in depth combing of the premises for other explosives that might have been smuggled in. The anti-terror police managed to neutralize the make-to-do device that composed of  wires and a cheap cellular phone 

The inspector general of police described the paraphernalia as an amateurish collection of wires and and a phone and not at IED as it was made to look like.  (IED- Improvised Explosive Device) 

Reports today indicate that there  was no explosive device found at Garden City Mall; just phones strapped with wires and tape.

Another Presenter Quits Nation,The Exodus Goes On and On As Agnes Owande Calls It Quits

It is hard to explain what is going on at country’s leading media house, the Nation Group. Whatever the reason, it appears the media house just won’t stop bleeding talented manpower as one after the other leading presenters leave or are sacked.

This morning, QFM’s Agnes Owande aka The Gorgeous One confirmed to her fans and friends that indeed she will be leaving the radio station calling time on a media career spanning 10 years. She had a great following for her evening drive show. However, the beautiful radio presenter is not out as she promised her fans something big presumably in the not so distant future. We are watching the space. Here is her farewell Facebook post.

Sauti Sol Wins Their Fans Back With This Tear-Jerking Song

And the fantastic four have finally gotten their groove back. Yes!!!

After dropping the upbeat Shake Yo Bam Bam ,a mélange of beats which left fans a little bit confused, since it’s not really ‘a Sauti Sol sound’, the group has dropped a song that all fans can agree is pretty dope.

About ten hours ago, Sauti Sol released the acoustic Isabella which is the sixth single off their upcoming album “Live and Die in Afrika” song that already has 5,600 views.

Isabella is a tale of young love which is often characterized by staying out late dancing under the stars and maybe getting a little tipsy. The ballad talks of beautiful, unadulterated, unbridled and somewhat unpredictable young love.

The music video of Isabella will be released in September. It was shot in Las Vegas by director Stevie Rodriguez and is centered around two love interests. The video will include scenes from Sauti Sol’s 2015 concert at the iconic Hard Rock Café in Las Vegas, USA.

Ladies,Here Are 9 Very Important Things To Do Before And After You Walk Into A Gynecologist’s Clinic. READ AND BE WARNED. #DoctoredAbuse

Despite his many Facebook protests,most of which are merely childish and idiotic,one thing is clear; Mugo wa Wairimu IS a rogue doctor and a bogus practitioner who has not just been criminally faking a profession but also sexually benefiting from his clinical mischief.

But the proverbial 40 days came and now we’re told that the crook has not only gone underground but also deactivated his toxic Facebook page…But wait,it’s back!

Anyway,now that we’ve all watched that jarring video of him climbing atop a seemingly lifeless woman,and raping her in record time,I think it’s time all women learnt how to conduct themselves in a Gynecology clinic; Basically how to behave,what to do,what to watch out for and when to know that things may get ugly.

The medicine industry,sadly,is crowded with crooks and rogues most of whom are actually REGISTERED anyway. So,we’ve gotta keep our women safe from these lusty hounds.

Here’s a few things to think about as you approach a Gynecology Clinic….

1. DONT DRESS PROVOCATIVELY.
While we must reiterate that RAPE is NEVER justified no matter how the woman looked or what she had worn,it must always be remembered that men are highly visual beings. Men react to what they see and untimely imagine. Do not dress provocatively. Short skirts are a no-no. Little black dresses are out of bounds. Any form of sexy attire should be avoided as much as possible. Yes,even attractive cologne or tasteful makeup especially on the lips and eyes. Men react powerfully to beauty and feminine embellishments and any rapist will surely be jolted into action at the vision of such temptation. Always keep it very plain and simple. Always.

2. ALWAYS BRING ALONG A FRIEND OR A RELATIVE…
Gynecology appointments are a very personal and sensitive matter and they should never be treated cavalierly. It’s not a tooth appointment… It’s an appointment that involves the most private of your private parts… Surely,you need to bring along a friend not just for emotional but also physical support. A relative would even be much better… And obviously either of them (friend /relative) has to be female. Or maybe your hubby or boyfriend. You never know when you might need them. Or their muscles.

3. GO TO A TRUSTED GYNECOLOGIST
You need to identify one gynae and make sure that they’re the one and only gynae who gets to check you anytime and every time. Not unless their clinic is closed or you’re out of town and are in an emergency,you should avoid jumping from doctor to doctor as much as possible. Get one trusted doctor and trust him with you. So that if anything wrong should ever happen,you know who’s a hundred percent answerable.

4. ALWAYS QUESTION THE PURPOSE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONS YOU’RE GIVEN.
If you’re asked to move into some room or lie onto some bed or disrobe or do any sort of activity,gently ask him why you have to do that and what’s the final objective of you doing that. Don’t just jump onto beds or move into rooms or drop your pants simply because you were asked to. Follow instructions but still,question them. Let him tell you why you have to do what he needs you to do. If it’s senseless,then you can go ahead and freely disobey his commands.

5. ENSURE YOU KNOW WHAT DRUG IS BEING INJECTED INTO YOU AND WHETHER IT’S EVEN NECESSARY.
Doctors love confusing us with big terminologies and complex clinical jargon. They also love to Lord over us and have their way with our bodies knowing that we won’t question anything they do as long as we get better. But in this case,you need to know WHAT are the contents of every injection you’re getting and what drug is being pumped into your system. And before you’re injected,ensure you absolutely need the injection and that it’s not some little dirty game being played on your bloodstream. Be vigilant.

6. AVOID LONELY AND DESERTED CLINICS
I think this goes without saying that YOU need to be very cautious of secluded places and lonely clinics and stuff. Most of these crooked clinics that operate in the dark backstreets are havens of massive crime and unimaginable anguish. Visit a clinic that is visible to the public… A clinic in a central place and a clinic that has some form of life and human traffic. Avoid these little briefcase clinics as much as you can.

7. STUDY THE DOCTOR’S BODY LANGUAGE AND SUGGESTIVE SPEECH
For some men,It’s so easy to tell that they’re into you and that they desperately want you. Therefore,as you sit across him and describe your situation to him,study him. Study how he looks at you,how he sizes you up,how he’s lost in his own world as you speak,the angle at which he sits across from you,his hand movements and his suggestive speech. If it walks,quacks and staggers like a duck,well,you know what it is. Get up and RUN! Run baby Run!

8. AVOID VISITING CLINICS AT NIGHT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
Not unless it’s a do-or-die emergency,avoid nocturnal visits. They,in most cases,never end well. Try as much as you can to make your clinical appointments during the day. And not at all at night. Not unless it’s inevitable.

9. DON’T JUST GET ADMITTED TO THE WARDS…
Don’t just agree to spend the night over in the wards NOT unless your situation is dire enough. Some quacks will ask you to agree to get admitted and convince you that you need a few days in the wards,but don’t buy the story that fast. Ensure that you independently establish that YOU actually need to be admitted into the wards. And spend a couple nights in hospital. If your spirit and body feels you that you will be fine,walk your sexy ass home babe. The ONLY bed you need is yours. Not Mugo wa Wairimu’s.

Na kwa hayo machache,sasa twendeni Githurai tukatafute hii mushenzi!
