Mhh! Eddie Ndichu and his wife, Janet Mbugua settled for a nice name for their child. It’s simple, it’s western and it’s unique.

Wait a minute! The gorgeous Citizen TV anchor hasn’t delivered yet, or at least we are not aware of such kind of news.

But everything is ready for their baby boy’s arrival. Oops! Did I say he was a boy, pardon me but I think Janet is carrying a baby boy.

The excited hubby spilled the beans unknowingly. Eddie posted a Superman costume saying it was waiting for his child’s arrival.

Yes I know girls can also don superman costume, but are baby girls also called Clarke? Yes I just mentioned the name of Janet’s baby.

Janet and Eddie’s child has been named Clarke. Mhh! Is it Clarkson like Jeremy Clarkson the popular ex Top Gear host? Janet will certainly explain later.

“Outfit ready for Clarke’s arrival. #toocute. #obsessionstarts.” Eddie Ndichu captioned the Superman costume.

Drama As A Security Guard Smashes Cars Worth Millions In An Attempt To Park (photos)

If you have a car, you probably have come across guards who tell you to leave your car keys to them  with the promise that they will park your car once cars leave the parking lot. Because you are busy and nice  and you are aware that parking is a nightmare in Nairobi you leave you car only to come back and find that it has been smashed to smithereens by a careless guard. That is what happened today at reinsurance plaza, several cars were smashed in a parking attempt gone awry. See photos below;

Vera Sidika Parties In Billionaires’ Paradise In Nigeria (Photos)

Have you ever heard of Victoria Island in the West African nation of Nigeria? Well, poor people don’t go there, Vera Sidika is enjoying quality time in the ritzy holiday destination.

That why we say Vera Sidika, Huddah Monroe and Corazon Kwamboka are the ONLY A-List socialites in Kenya. They can afford a night or two in ultra expensive exotic destinations. Of course courtesy of their filth rich sponsors.

Vera flew to Lagos, Nigeria to enjoy the cool breeze of Atlantic Ocean. The main business of the Kenyan socialite in West Africa is FUN.

The socialite has checked in one of the Victoria Island’s luxurious Hotels where she took photos of herself and sent home to signal she’s in business.

Vera will be partying at the island’s dopiest entertainment hotspot, Club Quilox this coming Sunday, a party dubbed ‘Quilox Ultra Pool Party’. She’s had invited rich Nigerian to shake a leg with her. Obviously at a cost!

Aladwa In Hot Trouble After His Senseless Remarks In Kibra

After his senseless remarks during an ODM rally in Kibra, George Aladwa is a wanted man.

From a letter in our possession, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has moved swiftly in calling for investigations into the remarks made by the politician. The Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko has written an urgent letter to the Director of Criminal Investigations and copied to the Inspector General of Police the National Commission for Integration and Cohesion.  Here is the letter

Top 5 Dumbest Things Said By Kenyan Politicians In Public

Some politicians are known to have verbal diarrhea, a condition that has seen them utter words that a normal person would need a psychologist’s help to understand why they have loose tongues.

Their statements attracted the attention of the whole nation. And news outlets couldn’t stop running a story or two about them for subsequent days.

Am talking about infamous statement made by politicians. Today being throwback Thursday (TBT), we illuminate some of the dumbest things said by Kenya’s ruling class.

Top of the list is Sonko calling Caroline Mutoko big names I don’t want to mention. The former Kiss FM presenter had called the Nairobi Governor on radio before Sonko went up in flames and started hurling itchy words.

(Don’t worry, you will listen to Sonko’s words in the audio below)

Number two is still Sonko settling scores with Governor Kidero in public, the way primary kids do. The Nairobi Senator was addressing Gikomba traders when all over sudden he turned to Kidero and stripped him.

Number three is one Ferdinand Waititu. Baba Yao decided to chase away members of Maasai community from Kayole in a speech he made while addressing residents.

Number four is the troublemaker, Moses Kuria. His words are still fresh in our minds. “Slash anyone who opposes NYS project” quote and quote.

The last culprit is Johnstone Muthama. The Machakos Senator defecated on the Presidency by telling a crowd at Uhuru Park the head of State was smashing the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution simply because he couldn’t sack her despite the corruption allegations that she was linked to.

Listen to the speeches made by these politicians on the audio below;

Museveni Buys Kenyan Built Ferry At A Cost Of Sh 310 Million (Photos)

Kenya is building and selling ferries, just in case you weren’t updated with that. MV Albert 1, a product of eight months of engineering has already been sold.

I felt proud to hear Kenya was building ferries, why lie. A Mombasa base company, Southern Engineering Company (SECO) has completed the construction of a ferry meant to be used in the neighboring Uganda.

SECO has partnered with a German ship manufacturing company, Damen Shipyards, to manufacture the Kenyan built ferry being to be used in Lake Albert.

It seems Museveni is confident with Kenyan engineering since his government bought the ferry that SECO built.

Hold it right there for a minute! Actually Ugandans have already bought 4 ferries built by Seco. Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) purchased the four ferries.

Parts of the components used to build MV Albert 1were manufactured locally while others were imported from India and Germany. UNRA coughed Kes 310 to buy the ferry.

Mombasa Governor, Hassan Joho, was among the guests present at the SECO shipyard to celebrate the completion of the Kenyan built ferry.

MV Albert 1 has a carrying capacity of 250 people and 20 vehicles. Arrangements to have the ferry transported to Uganda are underway.

Willy Paul Shamelessly Lied About His Wedding Details! Evidence!

To think that I almost started having  respect for Willy Paul. For Shame! 

 Yesterday, Willy Paul almost stopped town with sensational, well executed  Bullcrap  that he was getting married to his longtime girlfriend. I was appalled to say the least, he is so young and scandalous- would his marriage survive the onslaught of his perpertual tomfoolery? I thought not. 

Today, in an equally sensational social media post, Willy Paul revealed the face of the woman he would walking down the aisle.  I wrote the article, applauding his chivalry and gallant demeanor, little did I know that I had fallen hard for his petty little machinations . 

Willy Paul, without the least iota of remorse lied to the world yesterday about the engagement ring that he purported to have bought for his girl.  That ring ladies and gentlemen of gentle comportment is a fake, as fake as unicorns. 

Willy Paul downloaded the photo from the internet yesterday and passed it off as his own. How I’m I so sure? The engagement ring belongs to Amber Rose! So does the hand. A quick google search should tell you that. 

Willy Paul, seriously..

CFuBRrLUEAAQAVw.jpg

Gerrarahia!

This is the photo he posted yesterday:

 willy_1.jpg

 But you are not surprised. Are you? 

This is Amber Rose’s Engagement ring.

So, treat his lie with the contempt it deserves. If you were thinking of attending his wedding, I suggest you look for better avenues to waste your time.

Biko Breaks The Silence Regarding The Whole Jadudi Affair

Yesterday’s scandalous assertions were made regarding several aspects on the Jadudi story as we know it.

From a simple beautiful story of a patient’s valiant fight and the generous Kenyan spirit, the story turned to an ugly debate of erasure and unrevealed details of funding from NHIF. 

A notable voice was silent in this entire ruckus, Jackson Biko.Accused of erasing Zawadi Nyong’o and turning the campaign to boost traffic to his Blog, Biko has spoken out on a number of issues.

In an article on his blog, he sought to set several things clear from his involvement, the erasure claims and why he has kept off the limelight from the media and related promotions, associated with the campaign. You can read the whole To Be Clear post here

5 Reasons Why It’s Easier To Bang Female Celebrities Than Kawaida Chics

You might not have known this but most female celebrities suffer from not just dry spells but full blown droughts. I’m talking epidemics where pubic hair even fails to grow. I’m talking cobwebs in the punani because there has been no action in there for months,

Unlike their male counterparts who bang chics everywhere, female celebs get limited action. This translates to desperation. Yeah,,,they pretend to be classy and coated with attitude but deep within they want they ‘D’ so bad. Hitting on these ladies is actually easier than hitting on normal chics. I’ll tell you why

Most men in their circles are a$$holes

Cockiness goes hand-in-hand with money and power. It’s no secret that once a guy gets to the top, he changes and becomes an arrogant beast. These arrogant men are the ones in the same league as female celebrities. In as much as these ladies would love to date rich and famous men, they can’t because these high quality men don’t want to settle down with one powerful woman. They want a string of girls who will submit to them. Therein pops the female celeb’s dilemma. Maybe she has slept with one or two male celebs who just went on to brag about it rather than commit to her. What that famous singer or actress is really looking for now is a normal drama-free guy

Most guys are afraid of female celebs

Normal guys even those with a little status tend to consider female celebs as elite inapproachable women. There’s always the misconception that a female celebs will shoot your vibe down immediately after take off. A misconception is all it is. Female celebrities are desperate to be banged, They want men who will take good care of their hearts and bang them like Mandingo.

They lead busy lives

Due to their tight schedules, female celebs have less time for ‘kukatiana’. A normal chic can spend the whole day on Whatsapp sieving through hundreds of requests from guys and determining who she wants to be with. A female celeb doesn’t have that time. She would love to spend time choosing men but she just can’t fit that sort of activity in her schedule. It’s thus easier to hit on them when they are out having fun because during that time, they go all in and let loose

They want men they can control

Female celebs are used to being worshiped. Men who are in the same league as them can’t worship them. These ladies want a man they can control. They want a man who can avail himself any time his services are required. You could easily pretend to be such a man. All you do is smash her and ask no questions about why she hasn’t come home in two days.

They are not happy

People think that fame comes with happiness but it rarely does. Just like wealth, fame has it’s shit load of problems that sometimes, only love can conquer. Female celebrities live with worries ranging from relevance to unfair portrayals by the media. According to legendary seducers, a woman who is deep in melancholy is easier to seduce than a happy woman. If you follow such advice, you’ll realize that you actually have a better chance of bedding singers, actresses and radio presenters that Njeri shopkeeper in your estate.

Forget What You Heard. Willy Paul Has The Hottest Girlfriend Ever! (photo)

Willy No! 

 “There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion.”  bespake Allan Poe, a revered literati in one of his works.  Willy Paul has been on every boulevard that has the word “controversial” written all over  it. From allegations that he beat up his girl, neglected his mother plagiarized music- but like the phoenix he is, Willy keeps rising  from the ashes, better, refined and ready to take us to the next “Controversy” 

Only that today, October 22, the year of our Lord, 2015, Willy Paul is making the news in a rather unexpected fashion. He has a girl people. Willy has a girl and is getting married. 

I have said, time and again- he is in my favorite books as an entertainer, you can’t just pin a superstar down. To live to the hype of recent times where we have seen celebrities flaunt their women for all to ogle at, cue Hopekid. Willy Paul has shared a photo of his girlfriend on social media only hours after sensationally announcing his wedding details. 

The girl? She is hot! Lord.

Did You Know That This Celebrated Musician Named His Daughter Nairobi?

Nairobi has gained a reputation as the economic hub of East Africa and the city where dreams come true.

It also boasts of the world’s only game reserve within a major city; the Nairobi National Park which is home to four of the ‘Big Five’ i.e. lions, leopards, buffalo and rhinos.

Away from the grit and grime in some areas, Nairobi is a pretty impressive city maybe that is why one of Uganda’s greatest musicians has named one of his children after the City.

Bobi Wine’s 7 year old daughter whom he fondly refers to as his ‘little princess’ goes by the name Shalom Namagembe Nairobi Nalunkuuma.

Being Broke, Being Short and Being a Gentleman We Deduced Turns Off Nairobi Women…This One Thing However Always Turns Your Luck Around

My colleague yesterday Phillip Etemesi wrote a very a captivating article about Nairobi women. This came about when he engrossed himself in endless episodes of Tujuane in which he drew quite a number of conclusions. Here is the article……After Watching A Few Episodes Of Tujuane, Here’s What I Concluded About Kenyan Women…The sad sad Truth

One thing I think he missed was the fact that owning a car plays quite a major role in the dynamics of wooing a Nairobi woman. Don’t believe me? Carry around a pair of car keys and approach any woman and I mean any on the streets and you’ll see for yourself, she will treat you differently.

She’ll be more responsive in regards to when you look just like a normal hood rat up and about the capital. And it’s not only girls but also business associates, the cops and even supermarket attendants. They will be more than willing to woo you a little bit more than usual because in the back of their heads they think you have money and we all know money makes the world go round, or is it love?

And come on, we all like to be treated differently, we want to be given attention and we want the world to be a bit nicer to us….the hell we want all these hot Nairobi girls walking around town rocking leopard print tights and acting as if they own shares in Assdom*coughs*so owning a car doesn’t hurt.

But how do you own a car with the current cash crunch in the country and with the high cost of living? I will tell you how..by talking to your friends and talking some more…..on calls, texts, whatsapp, facebook and even instagram. I know it’s insane but that’s the case if you are hang up on Airtel….

Through their Smartika na Airtelcampaign they are rewarding you with a car for basically just talking to your friends and loved ones. All you have to do is look out for a daily SMS which Airtel will send you, with your 5X target for the day. Once that is settled, make sure you Call, SMS and access data from your Airtel line so as to reach and ‘Fikisha’ your 5X target for the day

Once you FIKISHA your 5X target, you will get a Confirmation SMS on target achievement, as well as a complimentary 500% airtime bonus to use across all networks. You can use the 500% airtime bonus to browse, SMS and make calls across all networks.

You will then be automatically entered into the daily draw for a chance to win a Toyota Axio, as well as other daily cash and airtime prizes.

‘Mtoto Wa Mama’ Bahati Blasted For Wearing ‘Unchristian’ Clothes and Flashing the ‘Illuminati’ Sign

He is fondly referred to as the sweetheart of gospel music due to his calm demeanor and good boy look, but a recent outfit had critics picketing and bringing out the pitchforks.

We are used to seeing Bahati in snazzy suits and other items of clothing loved by men his age and he decided to try something new a combat bandana paired with a pair of combat trousers and t-shirt. Apparently this look was ‘unchristian’ and the way he had placed his fingers was ‘Illuminati-Like’.

Here are some reactions from those who felt offended by this look:

sydenygondi C kwa ubya but if your a Christian and you sing gospels songs try to dress like Christian .

But others were more sober and rushed to defend Bahati writting:

dafridafrie Lool…i can see them haters commenting…baha evn if dressed like adam before that sinful act youd still look awesome…

Asian Man With Immunity From Legal Process Sparks Uproar After He Beat His Kenyan Wife Black And Blue (Photos)

Above the law! Maybe it’s time the government review the privileges foreigners enjoy because some of them abuse that special advantage they have accorded.

The story of Ruth Njoki went viral after the founder of Okoa Dada, Diana Okello, highlighted her case on social media as she called for justice and an end to gender based violence.

Ruth has been going through hell in her marriage. She got married to Alphonse Kambu, a Papua New Guinea national who works with UNEP in Gigiri.

For starters, Papua New Guinea is a country in South East Asia whose majority population comprises of black people, descendants from Africa.

Back to Alphonse Kambu, the Papua New Guinean has been battering his Kenyan wife left right center and this time round his evil acts caught the attentions of the whole country.

Kambu and his wife have been entangled in a court battle over the custody of their son ever since they separated in 2012.

Ruth says the court ruled in her favor and ever since her baby daddy has been trying to bribe her to handover the custody of their son.

The Kenyan woman was beaten senseless last Sunday when Kambu dropped off his son at Ruth’s place after they had both attended a birthday party.

Ruth claims the husband started fracas when he demanded food which wasn’t immediately available. He descended on her with kicks, blows and smashed her against the wall leaving her helpless.

The Kenyan lady managed to free herself from her attacker and opened the door to let in neighbors who rescued her.

The battered lady explains Sunday’s beating was only a tip of the iceberg. She says Kambu had made it a habit of turning her body into a punching bag.

She says she had reported him to the police but since the Papua New Guinean enjoys immunity from local prosecution, the law couldn’t take its course.

Papa Shirandula’s Jackline Nyaminde for the First Time Opens Up about the Woes of Being a Single Parent

Jackline Nyaminde,mostly known for her Wilbroda character in Papa Shirandula television series recently opened up that being a single mother has a lot of challenges. She claims that single mothers are sometimes isolated because society thinks children should be brought up by both parents.

The Kalasha award winner of 2013  also says its very hard  for a lady to bring up a man on her own because there are certain things only a man can tell a man. “Sometimes you might be having a burning issue that u want to tell your son but being a woman it becomes very hard to put your point across because you are  really not sure of the reaction.”The Citizen television actress further stated. She further highlighted that single mothers should not be blamed because sometimes its not their choice to be single just that life sometimes puts them in that predicament.

After She Pulled a Prank on Hussein Mohammed, Janet Mbugua’s Colleagues Return the Favor and Surprise Her

Janet Mbugua took her maternity leave last Monday and did it with such a huge bang that her co-anchor Hussein Mohammed almost suffered a heart attack.

Janet feigned labor by clutching her belly and saying that she felt something move in her belly to get back at Hussein who was left shaking in his boots.

But that was not the only exciting thing that took place as Citizen TV’s employees surprised Janet with a cake to send her off to her maternity leave.

“ Thank all y’all for the love! The @citizentvkenya family really surprised me. I’ll miss hosting #MondaySpecialKE but the lovely @jacquemaribe will hold fort like a baus! And yes, I’m glad I finally got back at Hussein Looking forward to the next chapter of my life” she wrote.

Forget The President Led Mashujaa Day Celebrations At Nyayo, The Real Celebration Was and Is Still At Kenya National Archives (Photos)

The stare from the eyes is in sharp focus, partly taking all around them, partly daring you to ignore them. You try the first time but there is something about those eyes that you just can’t get let up so you look again and there they are watching over like the guardians they are.

So you move closer not wanting to be part of the idling crowd, but you as you get closer, you keep on walking, not away but across the whole spectacle and into the journey through history tracing the real heroes. In a short while you forget about your hurry and company, and start asking why you did not get to learn this in school.

The exhibition opposite the National Archives is something fresh, different and long overdue. Such a collection of the country’s heroes cross cutting different fields has never been staged. Imagine a place where the portrait of Joginder Singh sits comfortably next to that of Dedan Kimathi and sandwhiching that of Chelegat Mutai. It is a feast for sore eyes, an inspiration for worn spirits and an aesthetic for torn souls.

The ‘Change starts With You’ mirror is a direct challenge the Gado cartoon collections a surgically accurate albeit bitingly sarcastic view of our society. There are heroes who have not dominated the usual heroes’ dialogue, Photographer the late Hos Maina for example. These along with the harrowing tortures the Mau Mau faced remind you how daily we overlook the living heroes amongst us while taking for granted the very freedoms and privileges their sacrifices earned us. This mix of art captures the meaning of Mashujaa Day than the uninspiring speeches delivered at Nyayo can ever do.

It is a testimony of the exhibition’s effect that two nights on no damage has come upon the pieces.  Crowds throng in of all classes and without a guide and slowly take in to their fill. The impact is personal and long lasting. Here not at any other stadium or platform politicians took or will take, is where Mashujaa Day was marked. Take a stroll sometime and partake of the treasure.

“I am Getting Married” Willy Paul Announces (Photo)

It seems that Kenya’s resident provocateur has decided to leave his playboy life behind and settle down with one woman.

Willy Paul who had earlier declared that he is searching for a woman in the song ‘Tam Tam’ can finally rest easy as he has found ‘the one’. That is if it’s true and he is not pulling our leg.

Willy Paul took to social media to share the photo below with the caption:

It’s finally here, the date is set, the bride is set, the cake is set and I am ready….. Willy Paul getting married… stay on for more updates on the wedding plan…. it’s one very hard move but blessings follow

President “Barrack Obama” Addresses Bad Boy, Shaffie Weru And Team Mafisi In A Hilarious Clip. (Video)

I’m at sea when it comes to the reason why a group of savages decided to call themselves “Team Mafisi”- I absolutely have no idea why someone would call themselves and their friend such a deplorable name, a bone eating, scavenging, good for nothing wild animal that relies on left overs from other animals. But Kenyan men  found the name alluring and fanciful and took it, pleasuring themselves as a band of sex-deprived social media crooks who find solace in trotting for sex left,right and center. 

This is probably why Potus in an interview with a “Kenyan Journalist” decided to address the issue that is  “Team Mafisi”  In an exclusive interview President Obama addressed team mafisi, and Shaffie weru in general. 

 

DP Ruto Builds A Kes 1.2 Billion Home With A Private Airstrip In Eldoret Town (Photo)

He still calls himself the true hustler even though he graduated to the billionaire club many years after he sold peanuts to passengers plying the Nairobi-Eldoret highway. Ruto is bringing up a massive mansion that will tower over all houses in Eldoret town.

A bold headline on today’s edition of The Star is enough to convince you to buy the newspaper even if you never meant to.

“Ruto building sh1.2bn home in Uasin Gishu”

I was strolling down City Street when the headline strafed my face. I ignored the fact had only few coins left in my pocket (considering where the month is) and bought the newspaper.

So the Deputy President has coughed a whopping 1.2 billion to put up a house that dwarfs his boss’ colonial era fortress dubbed State House.

The Star says the home sits on a 20 acres parcel of land the DP bought in Moiben constituency. The most captivating part of Ruto’s home is the airstrip.

Apparently the country’s second in command wants to be touching down in his own airstrip when he flies from Nairobi or anywhever else for that matter. Is Ruto planning to buy a private jet?

So where does Arap Samoei gets his guap from? I hear he has substantial stake in insurance, real estate, media and transport sectors. Apparently he owns Amaco Insurance Company, has a stake in Weston Hotel and he also has rental houses in Nairobi and Eldoret.

Mhh! Also interesting, Ruto gave the Chinese the contract to construct his mansion. Below is a photo of Ruto’s ‘State House’ under construction;
