Month: December 2015

Whatever their sources, there is no denying that socialites are among the few celebrities who seem to have endless cash to spend,…even if it is posing at least they invest quite a lot in it. Well, some are actually getting tangible assets for all their effort, others however, seem quite stuck in a rut.

I am talking about the likes of Risper Faith and Vanessa Chettle. The former actually has quite disappeared and I doubt anyone is fully convinced about her salvation.

For Vanessa, every time she seems to have hit a new sponsor she gets back to the doldrums maybe it cause she is young or just cannot hold to one. Well, it appears she is in one of those up phases of her life and she had the following to floss about… a wad of cash (nothing much but at least she can floss about it).

Here is the photo

Kenya’s top investigative journalist, Mohammed Ali is set to join elective politics come the next elections.

According to reports and developments on the ground, Moha as he is affectionately known is considering vying for the Nyali Parliamentary seat in 2017 and has already started touching base with the constituents. Last weekend, the artist took a tour of the region spending time with several members especially the youth upon whom he is banking on for votes.

However, it is not going to be an easy ride for him as he is expected to face challenge from some leading families at the coast aside from the incumbent MP, Hezron Awiti. The Bayusufs and Johos will also be fielding a candidate each. Here are photos of Mohammed Ali, at the coast.

The Kenyan MP keeps on proving that he/she is a debased creature stripped of all inhibition and shame having no problem at all in finding new ways to steal from public coffers.

Well, recently, the Anti-graft commission exposed their dealings revealing some tactics that would make the guys at City Hall look like saints. While you may have heard about ghost workers elsewhere, you have not heard of ghost MPs at least until now.

Apparently, there are MPs who are still earning a salary despite having been out of parliament in the last elections for over 20 months. Whether it is them or someone else pocketing the cash is not yet established.

There are also a couple of other tricks. First chairmen of parliamentary committees, despite taking home a self assigned 150k responsibility allowance every month, they still filed to claim sitting allowances of 10,000 per sitting.

When abroad, the MPs still claim mileage allowances for vising their constituency and the best of it all is some Mps sign on the behalf of their colleagues so that they can collect their cash. Such habits have seen the blow up of the parliamentary budget but the people involved are hardly baffled as is their character.

The president has been off for sometime and given his busy schedule with trips abroad, it is understandable that his citizens will always have to be ingenious with how they get to reach him.

This is the case of Wanja Kavengi, a Facebook personality who’s pretty creative by the way. She decided, lacking work there was something she could add to the State House corridors, something pretty feminine.

To be the State socialite is something close to the kind of job she is aspiring to have. Going straight to the point and without mincing anything from her self description to what she brings on board, the lady stated her intent. Here are some snippets of the letter

 “I am female, although the startling lack of feminine features like breasts, hips and buttocks, in the standard, acceptable size, fools many, including myself, into thinking that I may actually be male, only with human female genitalia. … 

Side note: I should also have you know, sir, that I have received a special award and recognition, as the Subscriber Of The Month in Pornhub, and should you visit the website, you shall see a small passport size photo of me smiling, attached next to a man and a woman, both naked and in a very compromising position, below a banner advertising the newest category of coital engagement that has been added…. I also have special skills, which I can best demonstrate in a private and intimate environment. However, I will come with a copy of my sex tape for viewing, just in case a demonstration of these special skills will have to be seen.”

Sorry ladies, grab your face towels now- He is taken. 

Jamal was thrust into fame after winning KTN’s Presenter, a tele-reality show that was scouting for the next Kenyan Tv presenter.

Aided by his looks that had women swooning and drolling at his wake- Jamal held fort and has become the people’s favorite new kid on the screen- most noticeabe is his flair for fashion- Kid knows how to put together a look! From dapper blazers, accessorized with trendy pocket squares and lapel pins, he looks to steal the show as one of the best dressed Kenyan celebrities according to Fashion Watch.

However, it seems that the man of the ladies is off the shelf, something that he has until a few days ago managed to keep as a secret- A close friend of the couple yesterday talked to Ghafla and confirmed that Jamal is indeed married.  Married to  Ahlaam Faisall, a pretty girl who is only too happy to share their good times on social media with tell-tale captions of a woman in love; #perfectcouple, #mylove

I sought to call Jamal before the article went up but his phone was off. 

See below photos of the couple.

The beef is far from over – it seems. 

 Socialite Huddah has found herself on the receiving end of odd twitter jokes after she is reported to have  said that she was over the endless twitter wars- terming them as neonatal and regressive. 

Twitter, an avenue always spoiling for a fight would not let her go that easily, especially with the fact that she had been in constant beef previously with the Capital FM’s Joe Muchiri. 

Joe Muchiri, who still fancies taking shots at the socialite was extra elated yesterday when a photo of Huddah appeared in meme next to an ape- Twitter as it were,preferred the ape to Huddah- saying that in the event of a bet, they would place their money on the ape. 

LOL. 

Isn’t love sometimes a craze so bad that it makes you wanna swallow the moon? 

 A few days ago, a crazy Kenyan lass confessed her love for the Kenyan president. The lass told of her undying love for the president vowing to prove to the world just how madly she was in love with the Kenyan leader. 

She went on to say that anyone opposing the president gave her such a bad bowel incontinence that she ended up passing wind in disgust.  The smitten girl (probably a man acting with  parody account) promised to jump from the Top of KICC today in a show of love and reverence for the president. 

Her post on social media that attracted more than a 1000 readers and and even more comments

However, it would be imperative to treat  the post as one of those “Attention-seeking” gimmicks by social media desperadoes who are in constant clamor for likes and attention. 

For the last one week or so,famed Gospel singer and perennial whiner Bahati launched some unique Facebook campaign promoting what he called ‘Story Yangu’ and even gathered a motley crew of acclaimed faces and voices to help him shore up the anticipation for what he was zealously promoting.

The gang was impressive; from the boardroom types to the legends,Bob Collymore to Suzanna Owiyo to Leonard ‘The One and Only’ Mambo Mbotela. And with such a crew at your corner,helping you push a campaign and build momentum,I expected Bahati would launch something we’d never seen it heard or imagined over. I expected he’d launch a 2017 political campaign,or a church. Or school. Or NGO.

I mean,if have to sustain something so fervently,build up so much anticipation,make everyone stay on their tenterhooks so much,then you better shock us. But was I rewarded for my anxiety? After those long 72 were finally over? Absolutely NOT! Bahati didn’t do something absolutely historic. He just launched a song. And a video. Singing and sounding like he always has.

You don’t gather the whole city,interrupt everyone’s schedules,scribble stuff on Manila papers,use radio DJs and presenters,pull Leonard Mbotela from retirement and make Ommy Dimpoz relevant again just to launch a song. Especially,that song.

But I have to give it to him for somehow managing to create such a successful buzz for a single,something the likes of Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift have done to brilliant results. Unfortunately,unlike them,his surprise wasn’t really one. It’s something we’d almost guessed he’d do. And we were right.

The video too,was something my brother would shoot on a lazy Friday. With a borrowed camera and an ad-lib script. And I suspect that’s exactly how it was shot ; on a lazy afternoon and an ad-lib script.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,Bahati,for all his life and awards,MUST STOP exploiting his childhood tribulations for hits. And for relevance. And even after we’ve had this talk a million times,Bahati,who I suspect never reads my advice or never finds reason to act on it anyway,proceeds to,once again,milk his childhood troubles dry. And remind us,for the 1000th time this year,how he was brought up and what a messed up childhood he had. As if that’s not something he’s told us like a billion times before. Every week.

But for someone who suffers from an acute songwriting deficiency,and someone who,save for the genre he picked for music and the nature of his past,wouldn’t even be relevant in the first place,the ‘Story Yangu’ route is not something we really didn’t see coming.

Bahati,nurtured in the knowledge (and he’s right) that most Kenyans live below the poverty line,with barely anything to hold on to,any money to spend,ability to school and/or lack of a schooling experience and a warm,stable home,just like him,decided to lunge at this niche and to constantly do songs for this particular group of people who,by singing about stuff they relate to,will idolize you,be a fan of you and probably enrich you. Same technic applied by most of the gluttonous scumbags we call City Preachers.

Bahati and his exploitative clique of handlers know all too well that his type of music and outstanding lack of skill in it CANNOT appeal to the regular,smart guy who actually knows better and has choices in life. And that’s why,given the liberty of the genre of music he does and the incredible mediocrity of most of what he puts out,he decided to sing FOR the poor and the weak and the desolate.

Most of his fans,and most of the fans of Kenya’s pop Gospel anyway,are not exactly the smartest people in town. Either mentally or even socially… And to appeal to them,and make them keep buying your CD at a hundred Bob and thronging your PCEA concerts, you must relate with them,and sing about the poverty they still live in,the horrible past you co-experienced with them and to constantly talk about stuff as emotional as ‘Usilie Mama’, ‘Mungu anakuona ‘ and ‘Niliteseka sana’.

After waiting for the big surprise,which turned out to be Bahati doing the obvious ; tagging at our emotions,I felt like he needed Denno more than Denno needed him.

I felt like,for someone who actually studied psychology in College,Bahati’s sole purpose of enlisting Denno in the song,was NOT for Denno’s gain but Bahati’s mercenary purposes.

Bahati,and I hope he can be honest with himself,must have felt that Denno’s inability to see,is something he can cash on. And given the outstanding success of the ‘Mbona’ hit song that Denno did with Daddy Owen couple years ago,Bahati must have wanted to reprise that same success. And,just like Mbona,emerge with a hit of his own,one that,much to his joy,would not just rule the airwaves for months on end but also make stupendous financial returns. And that’s about to start happening.

Yes,I said it!

Bahati started his grovelling Facebook tirade by first talking about Denno’s past hit ‘Mbona’, and then telling his fans what a mess Denno has become of late,how,despite the sudden fame and astounding success of his hit,he still was living in penury at at the last thread of hope. And after the blah blah blah, Bahati said that he had jumped to Denno’s rescue and that by doing a song with him,he’d – or hoped he had-rescued Denno from his desperation. Oh Lord. You need some vodka to understand this joke.

You want to ask,why,if ‘Mbona’ is still making bank and if Denno is still actually receiving his royalties,is Denno still poor and needy?

Or is Daddy Owen pocketing all the MSCK,PRISK and what have you returns? Leaving Denno high and dry?

If not,then what does Denno do with the royalties money he collects/collected? Now that,according to Bahati,their hit song still makes bucks and/or made some serious bucks?

And didn’t Daddy Owen even give a cheque worth Ksh.1 Million to Denno ?? What did Denno do with it?

Is Denno allowed to be financially reckless just because he is blind? Should his inability to see make us NOT question his business moves? And how he has been handling his money?

Also,by doing a song with Denno,what exactly did Bahati do to alleviate Denno from this continued streak of misery? Will that all of a sudden jolt Denno to financial bliss? And eradicate what Bahati wants us to believe he’s going through?

Bahati,by collaborating with Denno and making such a fuss of it,will surely make huge amounts of cash from this song. It’ll be one of the MOST DOWNLOADED and INSTALLED songs on Safaricom’s and other network’s playback music platforms.

It’ll be huge on rotation on all radio and TV stations which will automatically translate to more royalty revenue.

And there’ll be more than a million ways Bahati and his camp will milk the lucrativeness of this song.

It will be a hit ; not because it’s good but because it’s been shoved down our throats,bears a traditional sorry,pitiful message and also because one of its singers is blind and we are hereby obligated by nature to LIKE the song and do what’s necessary for Denno.

Question remains,did we like the song because it was good or because,for the umpteenth time,Bahati played the emotional card to get us to like him and even give a f*ck??

Denno,according to Bahati,wanted a business to be started for him. He didn’t ask to be brought back to the industry. He didn’t ask for a shitty collabo either. So,by doing a song with him,what was Bahati’s motive? To help Denno in his hour of need or to capitalize on Denno’s misery and have the hottest song of this month?

And after all the monies have been collected,how much will Bahati pocket? And what’s Denno’s share in it?

If this will be the end of Denno’s tribulations,then fine. But I highly doubt it.

Denno MUST REFUSE to come out of this collaboration of convenience empty handed. And he must REFUSE that the troubles of his last song follow him even with his one.

After all,Bahati wanted his fans to,as usual,go all emotional and teary and touched. And he achieved it.

Not because they song was any good (Infact,it’s pathetic). But because we’ve been forced to sit back and listen to get another sorry story. And reverently act on it. Because one of it’s singers is handicapped.

Bahati has mastered his audience. And mastered the art of feeding them nothing but tear baits.

I’d call him smart for that. If only it wasn’t such an obscene and selfishly detestable thing to do.

I dont trust Bahati! No one should!

Meanwhile,here’s the song. Bore yourself.

Residents in Mandera County are engulfed in shock and fear after the discovery of a mass grave. The grave unearthed several bones and fresh but mutilated bodies most being women.

It is yet to be established who the perpetrators of such a crime could be. Earlier this year another mass grave was found in Wajir where 11 bodies thought to be suspected terrorists were found. Disappearances of persons and lack of clarity as to what could be the cause of the deaths and consequent burying have always raised suspicion with accusing fingers pointed to the terrorists and the government security organs.

Here are the photos of the recent mass grave

She does not even call herself a hoe anymore, she prefers it, a little more subtly put, – a sexual philanthropist. 

 Miriam Mutuku is a self confessed nymphomaniac- she is crazy about sex and prefers to enjoy her guilty pleasures at least 3 times a day, on a good day, the lady who is fast approaching 30 will have sex for more than 7 times- she loves her good days. 

Last week Martin and I left the office in search of this wondrous woman whose appetite for sex was insatiable. We made our way through the tight labyrinth of human  traffic and vehicles  and found ourselves  at Masimba, a little commune a few kilometers from Kayole. 

Masimba is itself a beehive of activity, there are just too many people littering the paths, hawking sugarcane in polythene bags, women on side-walks making chapati and Mahamri .. forget that. 

Miriam came to pick us up at  a butchery close to her house. 

We got her house alright and made ourselves comfortable in her sofa, the whole place smelled strangely of sex and a mix of exotic perfumes. We declined offers of drinks preferring instead to start out little interview. 

Ghafla:  Tell us your name and what you do for a living. 

Mirriam: I am Miriam, a retired nurse- I run a couple of business but most of the times I’m at the house, sipping sherry and having my bean worked on. 

Ghafla: Uhm tell us in passing, how many times do you have sex in a day? 

Miriam : Like you were told before, I basically  have a minimum of three “sessions” but I can scale it it up to more than 8 in a single day- those are my happiest days. 

Ghafla: That’s uhm, alot- okay is it with different people or just one man? 

Miriam: Yes, I love them young, dark and strong (awkward silence as she looked at Martin and licked her lips suggestively) 

Ghafla:  Estimate for us, the number of men you have had, eerm, you know.. 

Miriam: Sex with? Yes, I have had over 8700 men, at which I lost  count- It has been an exciting fetish, an incessant desire to bed young men that has stretched over ten years since I was 19. 

Ghafla: But that is too much sex for one person? 

Miriam:  Is it? Sex is to me what food is to you- I subsist on sex, that’s how it is, I can skip meals but not sex- I can’t say the same for the two of you, but that is what makes us different. 

Ghafla:  Is it a medical condition or does it stem from the fact that you’re Kamba? 

Miriam:  How many Kamba’s do you know who have bedded 8700 men and counting? 

Ghafla:  Well, none..  so moving on, have you ever been married? 

Miriam: Not to my knowledge, I do know though, a man that loved me but couldn’t meet my demand and we split ways- 

Ghafla: Would we be correct to call you a prostitute? 

Miriam: Prostitute is your face- I don’t like how the society has to append names to everything, I just love sex and I ,don’t even ask money for it! You can it whatever tickles your fancy.

Ghafla:  I think that will be all.. 

Miriam: Aything else that you young men would love help with? 

Ghafla: No, no at all- this will be all. 

I have never seen martin run so fast in his life. 

Guinness is asking Kenyans to share their stories and tell the nation why they are Made of Black. Made of Black celebrates the individuals, people like you, who are not afraid to express themselves.

Over the next few weeks, teams will be popping up in bars in Nakuru, Eldoret, Mombasa, Kisumu, Thika, Meru and Kisii counties, inviting bold individuals to share their Made of Black stories using #madeofblack254via twitter(@guinnesske), on Instagram @GuinnessKE and Guinness Facebook page www.facebook.com/guinnesskenya/

The individuals who tell the most inspiring stories will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to take part in a photo shoot with Guinness Brand Ambassadors, Genge artist Jua Cali, DJ Amar (The Arkitekt), DJ Joe Mfalme and Radio Presenter Adelle Onyango. The photos will then be used on billboardsacross Kenya.

Background about the campaign:

Guinness is an iconic beer that isn’t afraid to express itself either and only Guinness has the heritage, quality and uniqueness to bring this Made of Black campaign to Kenya. The campaign gives a voice to all Kenyans with great boldness and who can showcase their flair and imagination.

The question of sexual stamina has-and always will be-very central topic in the showbiz curriculum. Part of the reason many female fans fall head over hills for their favorite male celebrities is not just merely the fact that they can sing,or act or dance or host TV well,but also,their imagined prowess in bed and also their toned bodies; fit torsos,sexy abs,enamoring eyes and chiseled jaws.

Globally,many male-and female-celebrities have always been ranked as sex symbols ; famous people that the public finds incredibly appetizing sexually either because of their voice,body,eyes,character,mannerisms and track record with the opposite sex.

Men like Brad Pitt,David Beckham,LeBron James,Matt Damon,Richard Gere,Terrence Howard,George Clooney,Christiano Ronaldo,Bruce Willis,Keanu Reeves,Johnny Depp,Marlon Brando,Denzel Washington and Tyrese have always been considered some of the Worlds greatest sex symbols… And millions of women around the world have agreed and will always be fascinated and driven crazy by the mere mention of these fine ass men.

But the greatest of them all was and will always be James Dean. But many argue that that has to be legendary Japanese born actor Sessue Hayakawa who,many years before the emergence of the true lothario himself,Rudolph Valentino,had already been a hit across the World and crowned the first ever male sex symbol.

Anyway,locally,we also have our own symbols of bedroom prowess and the ultimate masculinity. Men who,by their voices and looks and bodies, have consistently driven Kenyan women crazy,from the streets to the boardrooms,what with their drop dead gorgeousness and fine,chocolate skins.

Here are men that Ghafla has established are GOOD IN BED. Or can be good in bed. For some of them,we relied on testimonials from women they’ve slept with and for others,we merely relied on their looks,past scandals,history with women and nature to tell whether they’re good or not.

Here,come with me and let’s have some bedroom talk…..

And here are TOP TEN OF THE MALE KENYAN CELEBS WHO ARE GREAT IN BED. 

1. Prezzo 
He’s been famously fought over by tens of famous women by themselves. From Nigeria to Tanzania to Kenya,women have never hidden their apparent sexual admiration for the King of Bling. He’s bedded the likes of Huddah Monroe and many a Tanzanian girls too. He swept away Goldie,the late Nigerian singer at the BBA house and to date,still continues to drive women wild,cause women to fight over his attention across Social media and still remain unfettered and the best. Ask any woman Prezzo has been to bed with and you’ll be told,it was a moment she wishes would be repeated. Over and over again. Looks like rapping and balling are not the only things the son of Ngechu is excellent at. Bedroom bully. Oh yeah.

2. Dennis Oliech

It has been said and it shall be said,never play with the bedroom skills of a pro football star. Oliech has been famously linked to some of the hottest and most successful women in Kenya and abroad. It was also said that he’s dated Caroline Mutoko herself,yes,The Caroline. A woman who seems impossible to talk to leave alone go to bed with. Oliech is a beast on the field. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s from The Tribe ;Yes,that tribe of sexual proficiency (Luo). Look at him move. And then imagine those moves in bed. For over 90 minutes. Without even the 15 minutes break. Bro,step back. The beast is here.

3. Shaffie Weru

He’s the President of the Bad Boy club. He’s had women (beautiful,famous ones) fighting over him and scrambling for a piece of his fine ass for years. He famously dated and even married Debra of defunct pop group Tattuu back when she was still hot and one of the most coveted single girls in the industry. His side bitches too have always been hot. Add that to the obvious fact that he’s tall. And that he has a gruffy beard. And that golden voice too. He’s been a lady killer for decades. And he still is…. In and out of the sheets. You truly want Shaffie in bed with you right now. We all do.

4. John Allan Namu

A man like that HAD BETTER nail it in bed too. And sure enough,testimonies and his track record has proved to us that, yes,he’s as bad in bed as he is on Television. John is suave,clean, mature as some Scottish wine,sleek,chocolate and sturdy. He’s a man’s man. And the best epitome of a gentleman. Imagine how he handles his TV business. And then imagine all that grace and wonder and finesse brought to bed,candles and all. Oh, and that body. Ula-laaah.

5. Willy Paul

He’s the Gospel Bad Boy. The baddest in the game… Not just the musical game but also the baddest with them girls. Willy has slept with pretty much any pretty girl in every church in Nairobi. He has more ex-girlfriends than your whole boy squad combined. And not just ex girls… But hot and sexy as fuck ex girls. Girls who fight for him and his D. And girls who rush to blogs to complain of how he broke their hearts. We talked to several of them and they agreed unanimously,’Willy Paul can be an asshole . But he’s a Beast in bed. ‘. And we all agree. This boy is not just the baddest in the booth. But even badder in them sheets too. Gosh,I want to sleep with Mr. Willy. Bad!.

6. Owago Nyiro

He’s the Official comedian of sex. The dirtiest and most x-rated funny man we know. Many of his jokes have actually been censored or totally deleted from the Churchill Show because they were deemed too explicit for television. He’s always seemed to know more about the bedroom game than we did… And alas,he actually does. Women have never hidden their admiration for this daring Lakeside funnyman. His weekly shows at City Club,I-Club always teem with women who are more than ready to wind up with him in the same bed. He’s dated a harem of some of the Sexiest women in this city. And he’s quickly coming for your sister. And girlfriend. Behold,the baddest of the bad.

7. Bien Aime Baraza

Anyone who’s attended any Sauti Sol event with tell you just who rules the girls ; It’s Mr. Bien. He’s smooth,has got the voice of an angel,sings like Julio Iglesias, moves like Jagger,he’s got the body of a Brazilian male stripper and the ways of a Colombian drug Lord. He’s a ladies man from head to toe. Chocolate skin. Manly look. Fine abs. Great thighs. Thunder voice. God’s gift to Kenyan women. For sure.

8. Obinna

I hate to admit it but yes,he made the list too. Surprised? Not as much as I am. But don’t we all know that Obinna has like a billion baby mamas? And a billion kids in that case? Some of whom have been fighting for and with him for years now? He’s also very Luo. Which helps. Aside from the fact that he can be a bore,and truly egocentric and debauched, Obinna also, given his record with women and smooth verbal game, is also truly the man of the bedroom. Fierce,rough,determined,powerful and zealous is what he is in nature. And it’s also what he is in bed. Yeah,we hate it too but it true. He’ll tear up them sheets. And you too.

9. Bon-Eye Of P-Unit

Unlike some of the other P-Unit members,one of whom is married for years,Bon-Eye has never hidden his bedroom expertise. He’s rapped about it for as long as he’s been in P-Unit. And luckily for him,he’s got the looks and character to match what we imagine he’d do in bed. Lady killer number one, Bon-Eye has always been the baddest in the sheets. And yes,we talked to some girls about it. And no, none of them regrets ever having him in them. Not now. Not ever. He’s sleek. And bad. And raw. And sick. Just like we like ’em. Gimme some,Mr. Bon-Eye.

10. Savara Mudigi

Bien is not the ONLY Sauti Sol member that has a legendary member (see what I did there). Mudigi too has not been one to fall off quick. He,just like his band mate,has been a women’s favorite for all the beautiful years that this pop group has been in existence. Mudigi is the typical African male;with a body,face and voice that tells a billion stories of his bedroom heroics. He’s chiseled out quite perfectly. Has abs to die for and the sort of muscles you want around you all night. Or week. Women have been lining up for his services for as long as he’s been known. And sure,he’s a gentleman. He knows how to get them,eat them and treat them. Fine as f*ck,I swear. You can still check them out in this video below:

This relaunch is months late due to the fact the station was ‘bloated’. Back when Ian Fernandez made his way out of NTV to join a struggling K24, he had planned to overhaul the whole system and fine tune it to run smoothly and effectively.

However, there was one major stumbling block: FINANCES. The big boys at Mediamax declined to release funds for the relaunch arguing that there was no money and that if the relaunch was to take place, he (Ian) should cut his costs by 40%! And this is the point where the sackings witnessed a few weeks ago had to come in. Some people had to be let go because of the high wage bill compared to the revenue. When the hammer finally dropped, it affected both Radio and TV.

However, it was difficult to select which presenters would be let go, and so like any management would do, Mediamax had to scrutinize the performers and non-performers. This was difficult for the management because most staff members were/are performers, and so the second axing method was thrown into play;salaries. One of the first victim of this elimination process was Maggie Waithera who co-hosted the mid-morning show with Mogaka on Milele FM. Back when Maggie left Radio Citizen to join Milele, she was on a high pay grade and so Mediamax just had to match her salary with her skills/qualifications.

Massawe Jappani was also on the forefront to go but not because of incompetence nor a high salary. All factors considered Massawe is a crowd puller and a darling of the public. But why did she have to go? Well, Massawe is known for standing her ground and is not easily pushed over. She’s as straight as a bullet and will tell you off when you cross her or backbite her. This did not go down well with some of the top dogs who saw her as ‘defiant’ and that was good enough to make her lose her job.

For Alphonse Oladipo, ‘he was on his way out’ the moment he was plucked from reading news on TV to hosting the morning show. He had very little experience for radio and so he was just thrown under the bus. So there’s no way he would have been spared in this round of sacking. Others like Dr. Ofweneke, it’s simply ‘a victim of circumstances’. Since Oladipo had been shown the door yet he was Ofweneke’s co-host, he also had to leave.

With others drawn from the K24 also shown the door, the ‘bloat’ was healed. So now the board has released funds to fund the relaunch of K24 which should be this week or the next. Keep it here for more

The past few weeks have been mired with accident criss-crossing Nairobi- Earlier this morning,about 20 minutes from the time this went up, – a car hit a pedestrian along Haile Selasie avenue opposite Pastor Nganga’s church, the man suffered a dislocated shin bone and blood was ooozing from his ears- paramedic summoned to the scene have taken over and the man has been taken to hospital. 

The conductor and driver of the ST. Mary’s .T. Sacco” ran for it after the accident leaving the Matatu at the scene of the accident.

Good bye and good riddance, Hubby! 

 After being separated from her husband since early 2011, Mercy Myra has said  goodbye to her Marriage of 10 years-  rejoicing that it was finally over, 10 years of pain and heartaches were no more. 

An elated Myra wrote:

Dailies have reported that the jilted rapper husband was not too amused after losing custody of the child and went on to write a long heartfelt post detailing how his ex wife had abused him physically and emotionally during the time that the two had been married. 

It is the second baby for the world renown couple, Kanye and  Kim Kadarshian. 

 The reality TV star gave birth to a healthy bouncing baby boy on Saturday morning amidst fears of going through the cesarean section as the baby had been in breech position. 

Breaking the news on her website, Kim wrote : “KANYE AND I WELCOME OUR BABY BOY!” before completing her statement with “”Mother and son are doing well,”

It has not yet been clear what name they will chose for the son even with the speculation that he might take the name of Kanye’s famous clothing line “Yeezy” or simply have the name of a compass direction like her sister, North West. 

Almost everybody knows who Boniface Mwangi is in the country and where he stands when it comes to corruption, even little children in classes I reckon knows who the activist is.

The outspoken activist always speaks up for those who cannot speak for themselves while confronting the high and mighty in the political and business realm without fear of anything whatsoever as we saw how he confronted not any but the business mogul Kamlesh Pattni earlier this week.

Today however isn’t one of those days that needs him to be bold and courageous but that day that he has to have a tender heart with his guard down as we saw how sweet, loving and gentle he can be when his wife is in question. December 5th happens to be the birthday of his dear, beautiful wife Hellen Njeri Mwangi who he has known for almost a decade and married her for seven years, he took to social media to express his undying love for her and even went ahead to say that she is his best friend and come 9^th December 2015 Boniface Mwangi will together with his wife declare their wealth publicly on the International Anti-Corruption Day.

This is the sweet letter Boniface Mwangi wrote to his wife Hellen Njeri Mwangi.

“Today is my best friend’s birthday. We have known each other for almost 10 years and we have been married for 7 years. She is one of the most reasonable people that l know. She brings reason and balance in my life. Great friend,wife and mother. Our friendship isn’t perfect,we have fought,disagreed and lovingly agreed. It’s true what they say behind every “successful” man there is a woman behind him. Today l celebrate her! It’s her birthday and we happen to be the best couple at a friend’s wedding.

Even though we are private Kenyan citizens and your expectation of us should be zero since we do not draw our salaries from taxes, my wife and I shall declare our wealth on this coming International Anti-Corruption Day – 9th December 2015.”
