“Do you have to publicize everything?” Bahati bashed after sharing photos from his recent visit to a children’s home

Bahati recently visited a Home Care for children with Disabilities in Nairobi and as expected he had to share the photos on his social media to show that he was continuing with his ministry to help those in need despite having been quite for a long time.

His ‘good’ deeds were however received with mixed reactions as some fans thanked him for being caring while others criticized his ‘show off skills’ that often earn him sympathy.

For the very first time fans felt that Bahati needs to understand that whenever he helps the needy, there is no need to parade it on social media. One even quoted the Bible by saying, What your right hand gives..your left hand should not know about.. and added to say that God would reward him as sees everything in secret.

Read the comments in the post below:

We however cannot blame the young singer for trying hard to please his fans. Since last year he has hard time to prove that he is in the gospel industry for the right reasons.

Anyway, rumor also has it that he is currently dating one fine lady he featured as his video vixen in one of his songs.

It’s now 2017 but the lass has zero plans of taking a step back.  She’s set to make a comeback on TV this coming Thursday in a show dubbed Talk Central which is set to air on K24 from 8PM. Well, according to the poster below, the show promises to bring forth more interaction and more entertainment so we’re more than curious to see whether this will be the first Kenyan successful reality show.

Shocking exposé! KTN’s Mohammed Ali reveals how 2017 presidential election will be rigged… How Foreign Affairs CS will play a vital role

Mohammed Ali says only a handful of people working for the government will decide who becomes president after 2017 election.

KTN investigative journalist, Mohammed Ali, has once again ruffled the government’s feathers; he has warned of plans to rig 2017 elections.

In a lengthy post on Facebook, Ali says Uhuru Kenyatta’s government has shown signs of not conceding defeat, and was already laying plans to rig the election.

KTN's Mohammed Ali uncovers plans to rig 2017 election

Ali says the government was purchasing lorries for the police instead of paying doctors or lowering the cost of living.  He claims the lorries will be used to chase Kenyans like rabbits when they pour out in the streets to contest election results.

The KTN journalist further claims the approved changes to the Elections Laws (Amendment) Act 2016, which allows manual transmission of election results, was pushed by the government so that dead Kenyans can vote in 2017 presidential elections.

Ali also uncovered why the government was doing everything within its power to have Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary, Amina Mohamed, to be the next chairperson of the African Union Commission.

He says that the government wants Amina Mohamed to be AU chair so that when 2017 election is rigged she can be used to block the voices of Kenyans at AU; just like Kibaki’s government did with former AU chair Jean Ping when they rigged 2007 elections.

Below is what Mohammed Ali wrote:

UHURU KENYATTA: KIPINDI CHA LALA SALAMAKIMEWADIA

Zimesalia takriban miezi saba wakenya wafanye maamuzi yao, lakini maamuzi yatakayotatuliwa na watu wachache ndani ya serikali. Watu walio na nyoyo za kutu na wenye chuki dhidi ya utawala wa kabila zingine. Watu hawa watasubiri wakenya wapige kura kisha wao wajifanye kuhesabu kura hizo kwa niaba ya wakenya. Tayari serikali ya Uhuru Kenyatta imeonyesha dalili ya kutokubali maamuzi na matokeo ya agosti mwaka huu kwa kuanza kujiandaa vilivyo. Je, wanajiandaa vipi?

MUTAHI NGUNYI

Huyu ndiye kikwazo kikubwa cha demokrasia Kenya. Yeye ndiye aliyezalisha jina la Tyranny of Numbers. Sasa amekuja na jingine jipya la kusema kuwa nafasi ya waziri mkuu itaundwa tena baada ya uchaguzi. Hapa ule msemo wa umbwa akibweka mtafute mwenye mbwa unajiri. Mutahi na elimu yake ya kikabila anazungumza kwa niaba ya serikali iliyomwajiri. Serikali iliyomwonjesha pesa za ufisadi za NYS kabla ya kujitakasa na kujifanya kuregesha. Duru zinatuarifu kuwa Mutahi Ngunyi anashirikiana na jamaa mmoja kwa jina la Michuki ndani ya makao makuu ya NYS Nairobi kuandaa mbinu na mikakati ya kuibia miungu zao kura. Mutahi Ngunyi hana doa la kuwapa wakenya mawaidha yeyote. Yeye ni miongoni mwa wale waliotajwa kwa tuhuma za ufisadi. Kenya hii ni nchi ya ajabu. Wafisadi, watapeli, wahuni na wauaji ndio wanaowapa chakula ya kiroho na mawaidha wakenya. Mutahi Ngunyi msemaji wa msimu, msemaji wa chochoro nitarejea hivi karibuni. NYS ni jumba lililojaa uozo.

SILAHA

Haloooo wakenya mna habari serikali yenu badala ya kuwapunguzia bei ya vyakula inanunua magari ya usalama, badala ya kuwalipa madaktari inafanya mahaba na pesa zetu, badala ya kujenga nchi inabomoa nchi. Magari haya si ya kuwabeba nyinyi na kuwapeleka maharusini. Magari haya ni ya kuwakimbiza kama sungura, kuwawinda na kuwaangamiza mtakapojitokeza kupinga matokeo ya uchaguzi. Haya nasema leo, nilisema na ipo siku mtanikumbuka. Sijaona serikali inayowafanya watu wake maskini na badala ya kuwasaidia inanunua vifaa vya vita utadhania tuko Syria.

UJUMBE WA AMANI

Amani ni umbea ya walio mamlakani, hatumo kwenye vita. Tangu Kenya kupata uhuru hatujawahi teta na mtu yeyote au jirani. Kenya imekuwa ni taifa la amani na itazidi kuwa na amani kwa nguvu zake Maulana. Wezi wote Kenya sasa wanahubiri amani maana wanajua siku za wezi wote Kenya ni agosti mwaka huu. Baada ya kubaka taifa sasa kizazi cha ufisadi kinataka kuwaambia wakenya wapige kura kwa amani ilhali wana nia na njama chafu dhidi ya Kenya na Wakenya. Mtahubiri vipi amani wakati katika utawala wenu wakenya wengi wameuawa. Mmesahau mauaji ya Muchai, Jacob Juma, Sheikh Aboud Rogo, Makaburi, Wakili Willy Kimani na wenzake miongoni mwa watu wengine wengi waliouawa na serikali hii ya mtu mle mtu. Msitufanye wajinga kwa kuanzisha kampeni za amani. Kenya imejaa amani tele. Kunyolewa mtanyolewa agosti msikonde!

JOHO/KINGI

Serikali ya kitoto huwa na matendo ya kitoto. Eti kwa sababu Gavana wa Mombasa amemkosoa Uhuru Kenyatta kuhusiana na miradi yake tasa sasa wanaodhani wanamiliki Kenya wameanza kasumba zao za kitoto kwa kuwaondoa walinzi wa Joho na Kingi. Je, kuna nia ya kuwaangamiza wawili hawa? Inamaana sasa serikali ya Uhuru itateta na kila mkenya atakayemkosoa? Natumai hamtawaondoa maafisa wa polisi wanaoshika doria katika ngome za upinzani eti kwa sababu watu wa huko hawacheki na mbuzi. Serikali inafaa ikumbuke kuwa chochote kitakachotokea dhidi ya magavana hao wawili basi damu hiyo itakuwa mikononi mwao.

CHAGUZI DIJITALI

Jitayarisheni maana wafu watapiga kura. Ndio! marehemu babako, mamako, dadako, ndugu yako na wajomba zetu watapiga kura kwa niaba ya wanafiki wachache wanaotaka kunyonya damu ya kila mkenya. Hawa ni watu wenye nyoyo chafu wasioogopa Mungu na wanaotaka kuzidi kutawaliwa na miungu midogo fisadi na wakiukaji wakubwa wa haki za binadamu. Wapigisheni kura maiti lakini mkumbuke wote watafufuka wakati wa kupinga dhulma hizo agosti.

ASASI ZA USALAMA.

NIS, Polisi, Jeshi, Nys na vyombo vyote vya usalama kwa mapenzi ya taifa hili kaeni mbali na maamuzi ya wakenya mwaka huu. Miaka ya nyuma NIS ilitajwa pakubwa kuhusika na udanganyifu wa uchaguzi wa mwaka wa 2007, wao ndio chanzo kikuu cha ghasia za baada ya uchaguzi kwa maana waliamua kuhesabu kura za wakenya badala ya tume ya uchaguzi ya marehemu Kivuitu. Katika uchaguzi wa mwaka huu tayari dalili za asasi hizi kuhusika zinaanza kuonekana. Kwa mara ya kwanza nawasihi maana najua hamtashinda nguvu za wakenya dhidi ya maamuzi yao. Kaeni mbali na maamuzi ya wakenya.

AMINA MOHAMMED

Dadangu najua unatafuta kiti cha mwenyekiti wa jumuiya ya Afrika. Wanaokupigia debe ni wahuni wachache wanaotaka upate kiti hicho ili wakiiba kura wewe utumiwe kupinga vilio vya wakenya. Nakukumbusha kuna jamaa alikuwa akijiita JEAN PING alidhulumu Raila Odinga mwaka wa 2007 na kusema jumuiya ya afrika iko nyuma ya ushindi wa kibaki. Jamaa huyo sasa yuanyolewa bila maji huko kwao baada ya kupigania kiti cha urais na kufanyiwa alivyomfanyia Raila Odinga. Malipo ni papa hapa duniani. Dadangu usikubali kutumiwa, hawa watu hawana utu, hawaogopi Mungu. Hawa watu wanataka kukutumia kama daraja ya wizi wa kura. Hamna jumuiya ya afrika, kama ni jumuiya ni jumuiya ya wahalifu sugu na wabakaji wa demokrasia.

JOSEPH NKAISSERY

Wewe umejifanya Mike Tyson wataka kupiga kila kuta ngumi. Leo sina la kukuambia ila kukukumbusha tu HAMNA NGUVU KAMA NGUVU ZA WAKENYA. Zaidi ya hao nakuombea Mungu mwaka huu akupe hekima ya kufanya kazi kiheshima. Kumbuka kulikuwa na Biwot kabla yako, utachemsha ukijifanya kujua zaidi ya Kenya.

The Musical talent who is a great name across Kenya’s music fraternity is far away in the land of Oga but she’s still very much newsworthy.

If she’s not performing in political concerts and conducting ceremonies, then her siblings are ensuring her name sores high.

This time it was her sister, Chebet- a product of Kapropita Girls High School in Baringo county and later at USIU who is pushing the Kosgei name and it is courtesy of these photos. She looks so much like Emmy:

STL called out by American rapper after she told Kenyans the biggest lie of her music career on Citizen TV

STL took Kenyans for a ride but a popular American rapper responded just in time to clarify that she was lying big time.

STL is one of the most successful musicians in Kenya; she has worked with international artists like Mohombi among others, to drop songs that went on to be club banger.

That explains why it’s so easy to believe STL when she says she used to do rap battles with American rapper Xzibit when she was only 13 years old.

Speaking on Citizen TV’s 10 Over 10 last Friday January 13th, the ‘Koolio’ hit maker revealed her rap game got better as a result of battling Xzibit.

“I don’t know if you guys know about this rapper called Xzibit, I don’t know. Sasa nlikua nabattle na yeye when I was 13 years old. I stepped up to him and told him let us battle,” STL revealed.

Citizen TV interestingly tagged Xzibit on their tweet, and he was utterly amused that he battled STL.

“Wait, WTF are you talking about?  huh???? Where was I?” Xzibit retweeted.

Is it possible that STL was referring to a different Xzibit??

Chipukeezy’s style continues to confuse fans about his sexuality (Photo)

According to the comments being left under Chipukeezy’s photos of late, we have reasons to believe that fans are implying that he might be bisexual.

In a recent photo uploaded on his social media pages, the comedian is seen in a sissy guy’s pose that not only speaks massive but questions how he convinced the photographer to even take it.

Lakini uko na ka ushoga flani!!! One fan wrote as other fans criticized his girlish posture in the photo he posted on his Instagram page.

Though he has a fiance, it is a bit confusing to figure out where he stands as a man and as a comedian.

Chipukeezy
Chipukeezy

Apart from his disturbing pose, it is evident that the comedian has been throwing in a couple of pounds. He is no longer the skinny guy we used to see on Churchill show, he now has a beer belly that clearly proves he is pretty much comfortable.

Chipukeezy has also dyed his hair and beard blonde (unlike his style) proving that Eric Omondi’s influence is clearly rubbing off on him.

Anyway as for now let us wait and see what he says about is sexuality.

This is Why Ida Odinga Married Raila. It had everything to do with James Orengo

Every couple has a love story and after more than 30 years in marriage, Ida Odinga has finally spoken as to how she ended up with Baba.

Speaking at a funeral of the late Rok Ajulu, a professor who fled from Kenya and settled in South Africa, she spoke of her days at the University of Nairobi and her interactions with political scientists, lawyers and politicians and how she used to loath them. One of those men was Ajulu, the man being laid to rest and the other was ODM’s headliners James Orengo.

Ida Odinga spoke about how the latter conducted student uprisings at the University which eventually led to Ida spending 5 years in the university instead of 4 which the Bachelors of Education degree she was studying dictated.

After that she and friends vowed not to get close to politicians so it came as a sigh of relief when she met Raila who was an engineer. Right and then she knew he was the man for her.

However as fate would have it, it was never the case as Raila ended being out of the most astounding politicians we have in this country and is still is.

She has adapted well and together they are admired as one of the political power couples in this country having been through thick and thin.

“Your man finances us both, deal with it” things get uglier between Risper Faith and Mishi Dorah

A few days ago Risper Faith called out Mishi Dorah for trying to hit on her man. It was evident that the two were going to pick a fight and thanks to their social media pages, we got entertained alright.

After Risper Faith posted a sarcastic video calling Mishi Dorah an ugly woman with cheap hair, the fellow cast decided to respond with her own Instagram video that helped many realize that Brayo was not as innocent as many thought.

In the post directed to Risper, Mishi Dorah reveals that the ‘famous’ Brayo had actually been spoiling her on the low. She talks about the human hair weave he recently purchased her and if anything the two have been secretly seeing each other on the low as she went to add on that no wedding ring could scare her.

Mishi

“When she is too insecure .. lmfao.. And just so you may know ,yes he bought me one 32 inch human hair… I’m rocking it soon… I just want a taste of the pizza so why order for the full pizza when I ain’t that hungry??? Not even an engagement ring can scare a real fisilet.. come on yafaa ujue haya mango….if you didn’t now you know… Anyway he ain’t my real deal afteral… he will still come back to you not to worry.. he is all yours madam double decker just calm your titties”

In response, Risper Faith posted on her social media saying that she was ready to fight Mishi (oh lawd! Not for a man again). The two ladies are about to show the world their ugly sides and sadly this is all because of a mare man who probably has more other women on the side.

However, let us not forget that this could also be scripted…I mean this is Nairobi Diaries!

The presenter further says that in other areas people were not buying or selling anything without displaying their ID and voters card. He called people from Central Kenya who haven’t register as voters as enemy of the state.

The Kameme presenter also said that people from Cental Kenya will weep if they failed to cast their votes and re-elect Uhuru.

The audio elicited sharp reactions from Kenyans who called on authorities to stop Kameme FM from inciting the mass.

Kameme fm2

David Jesse: Kameme FM is being used by ethnocentric Kikuyus to spew jingoistic vitriol against the communities they consider the enemies of Mumbi and to discuss UTHAMAKI. Kameme FM and its followers must be told off, power is not a preserve of one community in Kenya. UTHAMAKI must FALL.

Silvance Abeta: STOP KAMEME FM The Rwanda genocide in 1994 was majorly catalysed by radio pronouncements, what Kameme FM is doing today and what KASS FM is said to have done in 2007.

Nyox Ex-Gk: This is incitement from the President’s mouthpiece. Remember they say that they have been threatened… By who? When? How?

Professor Michael Wainaina – PhD: Mr. Uhuru, if Kameme FM has been hijacked by “wakikuyu wenye siasa kali” shut it down, Now! I say it again Mr. President, wakikuyu wenye siasa kali cannot be allowed to take the Presidency hostage and they must not be allowed to take over any institutions of governance and definitely not the media. Mr. President, re-watch the videos on the Rwanda Genocide and note the role of Radio in spreading the hate, the madness and the murder. If Kameme FM has been hijacked by wakikuyu wenye siasa kali, shut it down, now!

This is what Matiangi is planning to do next that is sending chills down peoples spines

Education CS Fred Matiangi is out on the prowl again and this sending chills down people’s spines.

His main focus this time is Kenyan Universities in an exercise sent to commence on the 23rd of January to continue for a week up to the 3rd of February.

Through the Commission for University Education (CUE), he is seeking to clean up universities by commissioning an audit report with the report set to be submitted before the end of January.

“The commission wishes to inform the public that it is undertaking a quality audit inspection of all universities (public and private) authorized to operate in Kenya,” said CUE.

Some of the areas set to be audited include: admission requirements to degree programmes, quality and integrity of examinations, dissertations, and evidence of accredited programmes.

It will also seek to de-ethnize the academic and non-academic staff in the universities and check on the utilization on funds allocated for research and library resources.

Fred matiangi has been in the headlines for the recent past after what has been as a thorough clean up of the Education system with the notable results being the recently released KCSE exams.

“I’d just be happier if they would buy new clothes that don’t have holes in them” Bob Collymore takes a dig at Sauti Sol

It’s not the first time Kenya’s most successful music group has come under attack for their choice of dressing; only this time round it’s Safaricom CEO taking a dig at them.

Sometimes in December 2015, Sauti Sol was labeled the new brand ambassadors for ‘Kick Malaria Out Of Africa’ campaign after they rocked mosquito net-like outfit at a concert at the Coast.

One year down the line, the singing quartet has once again been criticized for their choice of dressing. This time round it’s Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore who gave them a piece of his mind.

While responding to a question on the kind of music he listens to, Collymore revealed Sauti Sol’s music had a place in his heart but went to say that he had major issue with the group’s style of dressing.

“My list would not be complete without Sauti Sol. These young men make me so proud. They take their craft seriously and they are making waves globally. I’d just be happier if they would buy new clothes that don’t have holes in them, and not so tight,” Bob Collymore said.

 

Ufisi Doesn’t pay: Man Convicted of Rape for Removing Condom during Sex without Partners Consent

Yes, ufisi doesn’t pay and a Swiss National is the true testimony after he was accused of rape after he removed his condom secretly without the partner knowing.

According to the Independent, he 47-year-old man (who has not been named publicly) met his partner on Tinder and they began to have consensual sex with a condom. Afterwards, the woman realized he had removed the condom at some point without her knowledge or approval.

This angered the woman who took him to court and now, the Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne—the highest court in Switzerland—has judged that such actions do constitute rape, passing down a one-year suspended sentence. In comments to news agency RTS, the victim’s lawyer described it as “a first in Switzerland.”

Now a raging debate is currently on going surrounding consent and whether the judgment was indeed justified and Vice, another news network talked to some legal experts who seem convinced feminism and activism as the major reasons as to why such a ruling came to be.

“This comes down to a discussion about ‘conditional consent,'” said Dr Sinead Ring of the University of Kent before referring the Vice reporter to the UK constitution specifically section 74 of the official legal guidance to the act covers conditional consent. In it, everyone’s least favorite self-styled anti-government warrior gets a mention.

This ruling puts Wiki leaks’ Julian Assange case in jeopardy as he was accused by two women of intentionally tampering with or removing condoms during sex, without their consent. (He has maintained his innocence throughout.)

This video of Dr. Ofweneke trying to teach Uhuru how to Shoki is the most hilarious thing you’ll see today

It’s now official; Dr. Ofweneke is the king of comedy going by what transpired today.

As you are all pretty aware, today was a great day for the ruling party Jubilee as it embarked on the process of issuing digital membership cards to all its members.

Amidst all the political fanfare which was threatening to blow up the roof, Dr. Ofweneke which was the MC alongside David the Student took the opportunity to cool off things by doing something that will definitely make Bahati slightly jealous.

He held the top spot for the better part of last year for making the president go gaga but Dr.Ofweneke was determined to take over when he attempted to teach Uhuru do the Shoki.

And Shoki he did much to the jeering of the crowd granting Ofweneke his 5 minutes of fame.

Here is the video:

Matatu driver and conductor taught a harsh lesson after they robbed a passenger

A man by the name of Samuel Njuguna has surprised and at the same time motivated many after he revealed what he did to a certain matatu driver and conductor who robbed him Ksh.1000.

Through his twitter handle the man narrated how the conductor of matatu almost escaped with his change short after the matatu he was using was arrested by the police. Apparently instead of refunding Samuel Njuguna’s change he opted to pretend as he left with the police.

Shortly after this the driver parked the car near the KCA university situated along Thika road not caring whether the passengers had been refunded their change. Samuel Njuguna however did not see the need of dealing with the usual drama conductors and matatu drivers have and decided to take matters into his own hands.

From his story the bold man says he chose to take Insurance sticker and found a way of remove the number plate which he took a photo of and posted on social media….ukweli Njuguna hapendi ujinga.

He however returned the items when the driver rushed to plead with him. He got his change back and the driver learnt his lesson.

Well, with all the nonsesnce most Kenyans face with matatu drivers and their conductors, I bet they all see Samuel Nguna as a hero.

“Governor Joho has not been arrested” says Police boss Joseph Boinett

Earlier on today, news broke out that Mombasa governor Hassan Joho had been arrested and was being held at Urban police station something that police have come to deny.

Through a statement from police boss Joseph Boinett, Joho had indeed stormed to the police station but to demand the release of a friend.

Earlier reports had indicated that Joho was arrested following a directive from police headquarters in Nairobi which sought to have the fiery politician arrested alongside other local politicians. The charge is believed t be illegal possession of guns and ammunition.

Joho’s problems started when he had a confrontation with President Uhuru Kenyatta over the launch of the buxton footbridge in Mombasa County which saw his security detail withdrawn. It was later reinstated but he claimed not to need it.

He has since moved out of his Nyali house to an unknown destination where he acquired his own private security detail.

The Weekend is here and these are best 5 bars in Nairobi. Not according to Ghafla but according to CNN

The weekend is upon us! A time to relax, chill and get lit for the young cats in Nairobi. In that regard we will be making our way to our favourite waterholes(if you are not there yet) to wash away all the January blues while dancing away all our money problems- I bet you have many.

I’m here to spruce it up for you and today we’ll be talking about some of the best bars to frequent in Nairobi (hold up, B-Club is not in the list) which are up-beat, with a cool selection of people and drinks. Sadly they are only 5 and they consist of a list compiled by Joe Yogerst who is a CNN reporter.

I suggest we get to it:

The first bar on his list is Choices bar along Baricho road. We all know Choices right? It’s basically the place where every afro fusion artist in Nairobi was born and bred. Live acts from around Kenya take the stage every Thursday, while Mondays are devoted to relaxation and conversation, Wednesdays to soul music, and the weekends to DJ parties not to forget live Premier League matches.

The second best bar in Nairobi is Hemingways Lounge bar which is located at the luxurious Hemingways hotel. Well, I know little about the place so I will just follow Joe’s lead on this one.  He describes it as a chilled out place with a chummy atmosphere similar to the Muthaiga Country Club and other colonial holdovers. It’s also one of Nairobi’s best wine cellars and boasts a large selection of South African, South American, European and Californian vintages.

Then there is the Alchemist bar in Westlands which I must attest is one of the coolest places in Nairobi right now. Co-owned by Mitchelle Morgan and her Expatriate boyfriend Peng Chen, it blends together drinks, music, fashion, food and art in an eclectic outdoor space that feels more like an open-air fair that a traditional nightclub.

There is also Sierra Brewery at Yaya Centre which serves in house German beer — made with just hops, malt, yeast and water strictly following the centuries-old Reinheitsgebot tradition of Teutonic brewing.

The Brasserie gastropub situated on the third floor of Galleria mall also serves lunch and dinner making it just the best place to wind down a Saturday night.

There is also Champagne & Fishbowls at Seven Seafood & Grill restaurant, ABC along Waiyaki Way which is specially known for marine-themed drinks like the bright red Piranha and a tequila-beer concoction called seven’s Tsunami. If you are into that kind of stuff that is.

Lastly there is The Champagne Bar a posh place on the seventh floor of the Sankara design hotel in Westlands, an intimate space with sofa seating around low tables and a few stools along a gorgeous palm wood bar hand-carved by local artist and furniture maestro Marc van Rampelberg. Joe suggests you order a bottle of Krug or Taittinger and drink your bubbly straight up or ask the resident mixologist for one of his latest takes on the champagne cocktail.

Tit for tat? Flying Squad raid the house of Joho’s close ally a day after the Mombasa governor chased police out of his compound

The friction between Mombasa governor and the government is thought to be the reason why police officers raided the house of his close ally today.

Daily nation reports that Flying Squad officers have today raided the house of Arub Ibrahim Katri, a close ally of Hassan Joho. The officers rummage through household items before they left.

Just yesterday, Joho locked out police officers sent to guard his house in Nyali in a move that was interpreted as hitting back at Jubilee for withdrawing his security.

Also read: Mombasa governor chases away police sent to protect his palatial home in Mombasa

Coast Regional Coordinator, Nelson Marwa ,had said the government was planning to mop up illegal guns at the Coast ahead of the August general election.

Flying Squad raid at the house of Joho’s ally could be part of the plan Marwa was talking about because he also said the operation would mainly target licensed owners, especially VIPs, who were abusing the privilege. Joho’s ally is a licensed firearm holder.

Social media will never leave Wema Sepetu in peace even when she decides to stay quiet. Well, thanks to an old photo that has emerged on instragram, the lass is back on tabloids.

This has left many questioning her sanity while others claim that she should be checked whether she is using any drugs. However, it has been revealed that the shoes belong to her close friend and stylist Martin Kadinda.

The two have been close for years now and the former Miss Tanzania 2006 considers him as a brother. From previous episodes aired on Wema Sepetu’s show In My shoes the guy was always present assuring that the only relationship the two have is strictly business.

Anyway, the shoes Wema Sepetu was photographed wearing will also leave you confused. Checkout the photo below:

Photos of world class hospital in President Uhuru’s Gatundu backyard that have left many speechless

Gatundu District Hospital ultra modern block looks like a world class hospital in California. The construction of the block was reportedly sponsored by President Uhuru.

President Uhuru Kenyatta commission the modern block at Gatundu District Hospital sometimes in April 2016.

The new block makes Thika Level 5 hospital look like a terrible joke even though both hospitals are owned by the government and are in the same county of Kiambu.

Photos of Gatundu hospital sparked outrage from a section of Kenyans who claimed the government had ignored other district hospitals across the country which are in dire need of renovation.

This is what Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company has done that will Drive All Nairobi men Crazy

Nairobi men are a sad lot and this is all courtesy of Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company.

If there is one thing Nairobi men look forward to, it’s leaving the house at midday on a Saturday all in the pretext of taking the family car for a wash. It’s the perfect excuse to leave the house and go indulge in some cold ones and nyama choma with the boys while catching up with a game of football.

All this however will change starting tomorrow as Nairobi men have no choice but to spend time with the missus and the kids and this is after a statement by Nairobi water asking for the closure of all car washes in Nairobi due to the current water shortage.

The statement came as follows:

The Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company Ltd. would like to put on notice that all Car Wash service vendors have been ordered to cease operations forthwith.

This is due to the ongoing water predicament, the recent water distribution schedule and the Meteorological reports in the public domain as regards to the weather patterns.

This is aimed at water conservation as the vendors use treated water to wash vehicles which is prejudicial during this difficult times.

Stringent measures will be taken against the car wash sites that contravene this order as well as the operators/owners.

Managing Director,
Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company Ltd.

It surely has to suck being a Nairobi man right now!

 

Zari Hassan opens about the struggles of motherhood and what she has been going through. You will see her in a different light after reading this

But come on, being Zari Hassan we all expected that she sits down and lets the maids do everything while she concentrates on taking snaps and going to the gym.

Well, you thought wrong as Zari Hassan is a dedicated mother who participates fully in the growth of her children- the youngest one now being Nillan.

You would expect that having undergone 4 other pregnancies that a 5th child would just be a walk in the park, well it’s not and even her, an expert sometimes get exhausted.

She made this clear in a recent post she made online, here:

#NIGHTSHIFT: WITH ALL THE HELP IN THIS HOUSE FROM THE MAIDS & GRANNIES I STILL STAY UP WITH MY SON TILL HE SLEEPS. IT’S HARD WORK BEING A MOM USUALLY WITH LESS OR NO SLEEP AT ALL BUT HEY, IT’S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER. SOME PROLLY THINK ‘ARRGHH SHE SLEEPS AND LETS HER NANNY DO THE WORK, WRONG I STAY UP ALL NIGHT EVERY OTHER DAY. WHAT A JOB????!!! JUST A LIL MOTIVATION FOR OTHER MOMS. UR NOT ALONE???? & YOU, ROCK COZ LATE NIGHTS AIN’T FOR THE WEAK????”

She went ahead and gave herself motivation by posting this:

“We all have the same 24hours it’s what you do with them that determines everything…. #MomPrenuer”

Before ending the whole shebang with this subliminal which we all suspect was directed at Diamond:

“BABY, I ONLY CHASE MONEY????????????????????????NOT PEOPLE….. #PUTYOURSELFTOGETHER????

Best Obama moments that will definitely make your weekend better

The country is in a mood of Nostalgia and this is because Obama or rather Potus is vacating the oval office after an 8 year stint.

An all encompassing president with charisma from here to Timbuktu was loved and loathed in equal measure but one thing we can’t take away from him is his ability to be funny and entertain at the same time.

And funny moments he did have and that’s what we’ll focus on today just for pure entertainment as we head into the weekend. And here we go with no particular order:

This photo of him playing with a kid masquerading as spider man showed us his ability to handle kids while at the same time let go and have fun. Can we also forget his ability to pose for a photo?

Obama having fun at the white house
Obama plays with Spider man kid

The second time when Potus caught everyone’s attention is when he tweeted for the first time; his tweet was just so casual and cool you just wanted to be him.

Obama on social media
Obama makes first tweet

What about that time when he was asked about Joe Biden? Well, his response was simply moving. ‘I tease Joe sometimes, but he has been at my side for seven years, I love that man. He’s not just a great vice president, he is a great friend. We’ve gotten so close in some places in Indiana; they won’t serve us pizza anymore.’ He described the man.

Obama drops mic and shows dis rappers just exactly how to do it.

And what about his haters? And he had like a gazillion? He gave zero f*cks like it was demonstrated on this Jimmy Kimmel show where he read out all the mean tweets about him. You can listen to it here.

Lastly, the one moment Kenyans will forever hold dear is when he came to Kenya and made president Uhuru  wait first as he hugged his half sister Auma. He clearly showed us that family should always come first no matter what.

After celebrating his late wife with moving message, singer Sudi boy accused of sacrificing her to get wealth and fame

Singer Sudi boy lost his wife in 2015 after an pneumonia attack. The singer broke the news through his social media mourning her loss and as expected fellow singers and friends rushed to send messages of condolences to comfort the singer.

It has since been 2 years since her death but the singer still holds her in his heart. In a recent post he shared on his gram Sudi boy celebrated her with a moving message as he expressed how much he missed her.

He wrote to say,

I miss you kila siku kila dakika mapenzi ulionipa kusahau ni muhali yani ningekuwa nauwezo ningekurudisha kwa sekunde lakini wapi ulifanya kila uwezalo nifike sehemu nzuri ya mziki wangu sitokusahu uko ndani ya moyo wangu nitakuombea kila siku kila dakika kila sekunde mungu akuweke mahali pema R.I.P my love salma #KIDONDA link on my bio

However a few fans claim that that the singer sacrificed his own wife to get wealth and fame, a sensitive topic to throw around carelessly.

sudi

Apparently even after sacrificing her the singer is still struggling to get famous and the wealth he was to get is still no where to be seen.Well, as much rumors keep spreading it is clear to see that they are baseless.

In other news, rumor has it that Sudiboy is now dating a beautiful lady he has been spotted with several times. He recently posted her photo on social media sending her a heartfelt birthday message. Checkout the photo below.

Jubilee female MP reveals why Joho Keeps on Attacking and Hurling insults at Uhuru…He will not like this!

The Jubilee smart card launch is currently on going at Kasarani where the ruling party is set to unveil its new digital membership card for all members.

All Jubilee aspirants are present including the party leader, his Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta and with that you will expect temperatures to flare up.

The first shot was taken by Waititu towards his rival governor Kabogo where he accused him of orchestrating to rig the elections something that Kabogo downplayed. Then it was Alice’s Njeri turn, the MP for Thika town and that’s when the actual fire was lit.

Joho's enemy
Alice Ng’ang’a who has attacked Joho speaking at a past event.

The fire was directed to none other but Hassan Joho who in the recent past has made the headlines for hurling all manner of insults at the president when he was at the coast launching some government projects.

Now Alice seems to have a hypothesis as to why Joho has so much bitterness towards the president and it all has to do with drugs; aren’t we all tired of hearing about this already.

Well, according to her, Joho is not happy with the president’s ultimatum to wage war on drugs- his main business and that’s why he’s gas lighting and insulting him at every opportunity.

Now Joho being Joho, you don’t expect him to take this lying down so expect a showdown something which Alice seems to be aware of.

She assured the president they were more than ready to tackle the governor!

Blaqy of the controversial ‘Money Maker’ song assembles darkest dark skin ladies for a new project that will break or make your day

Dancehall singer Blaqy grabbed headlines in 2014 when he dropped a steamy video for his song dubbed ‘Money Maker’.

He shot to fame thanks to socialite Risper Faith who was shaking her humongous behind in the controversial video.

Blaqy is back again but this time round he is praising African women. The singer believes a beautiful African woman is dark and that explains why all the video vixens in his new video are charcoal black in complexion. They also have sizable buttocks.

Watch Blaqy’s new song below:

Kenya’s hottest female celebs team up to start a new show that is likely to give Ezekiel Mutua sleepless nights

KCSE Certificate Allegedly belonging to Uhuru Kenyatta is doing rounds on Social media. This is what he scored

Shortly after Hassan Joho’s certificate leaked online, yet another certificate is doing rounds, and it belongs to none other but Uhuru Kenyatta.

Let’s play a game, guess what he scored? A, C, B; a D-, yes D for dog.

The certificate alleges that Uhuru sat for his KCSE in 1976 and did 9 subjects. His best performed subjects were Mathematics and Biology where he scored in a plain C in both of them.

Uhuru Kenyatta and Hassan Joho
Uhuru Kenyatta with Hassan Joho at a past function.

Now this is laughable as the first KCSE was done in 1989 and it replaced Kenya Advanced Certificate of Education (KACE) but being an election year, all manner of propaganda is expected to circulate. Plus also considering his age, the president was probably getting married at the time and not sitting for some exam.

Also read: 3 times Hassan Joho has been accused of being an academic dwarf and a cheat… Even by DP William Ruto

Joho’s certificate which he hasn’t come to deny puts his whole education background in disarray as it dictates he faked his diploma to get admission into Kampala International University and further into Gretsa University where he majored in Commerce and accounting.

Here is his certificate which has been rounds for the better part of the week:

Sex for airplay? Female rapper shame slams local radio presenter

Controversial upcoming rapper by the name of Kyki has come forth to claim that a certain radio persenter has been asking her for sex so that he can give her music good airplay.

The rapper claims that the presenter posted a sexual related post on his twitter and tagged her implying that he was ready to do her good. However the lass claims that he later deleted the post from his page.

According to Kyki the guy posted a photo licking his middle finger and was careless enough to openly tell Kyki he was ready to do the same to her.

Controversial rapper Kyki

Speaking to NairobiNews who highlighted the story, the rapper said,

I don’t know him but he put up a picture of him licking his middle finger and saying he would like to do that to me. I was at their studio last year for an interview and they in fact launched my Kuku Mwitu track. But i did not meet him.

The rapper goes on to add that she got into a bitter word fight with the presenter for trying to get into her pants by playing the ” i will make you famous card”.

Anyway, the singer has not revealed the presenters name leaving room for a lot of questions on whether her story is legit or she is creating hype of her new song.

Eric Obino was never really fired from NMG new evidence shows

Yesterday the whole Media fraternity and especially NMG was set into panic mode after reports started circulating online that veteran journalist and Nation NMG Editor had been fired.

The reports which first emerged from controversial lawyer Wahome Thuku set everyone into frenzy with many fearing the mass firing announced late last year had started taking effect.

Well, as an announced earlier today by NMG’s Editor in Chief Tom Mshindi, Eric Obino still has his job intact, but in a different capacity. He was just a casualty of massive restructuring currently happening at the NSE listed company with his new role now being Head of Production, a role that gives him overall responsibility of the print production process, quality improvement, design and graphics.

Also read: Who is going to be sent packing this time round? NMG to sack more employees in January

Here is the memo Tom Mshindi sent out today in the morning:

As you are all aware, NMG is driving an on-line first agenda in response to the rapidly changing media market dynamics that have seen most of our consumers interact with our content primarily on mobile devices. This is happening within the newsroom convergence strategy that has so far seen us merge the Sports Desk, the International Desk and the Business Unit. We have also set up the Health and Science Desk that will serve all our platforms with relevant content. The effort so far has met with varying degrees of success and it remains on-going since it is a journey rather than a destination. Valuable lessons have been learnt and we continue to encourage teams to embrace this change wholly and provide us with feedback we can use to improve the process.

To further align our editorial processes to reflect the on-line first strategic thrust AND protect and keep improving our print business, I am happy to announce a significant restructure of the editorial processes that establishes a robust content generation unit under a senior editor; a consolidated production hub, an online and new content unit and a streamlined print products unit. To operationalize this, I also wish to announce the following key changes within the editorial department:

Mutuma Mathiu has been appointed the Executive Editor, Print, a new role that makes him primarily responsible for the Daily Nation newspaper, but also gives him overall oversight over the editors responsible for the Saturday Nation, Sunday Nation and Taifa Leo. The product editors will be in charge of their products, making the key publishing decisions, including decisions on the headlines, pictures, story placement, product improvements, innovations, etc. They will be responsible for adherence to the editorial policy and guidelines, and also work closely with the commercial departments to support the achievement of commercial targets.

Reporting into Mutuma as product editors will be Ng’ang’a Mbugua (Editor, Saturday Nation), Michael Owuor (Editor, Sunday Nation), Nicholas Muema (Editor, Taifas), John Kamau (Investigative and Special Projects Editor), John Agunda (Op-Ed Editor), Elias Makori (Editor, Sports) and Bernard Mwinzi (Editor, Health and Science Desk).

Eric Obino will take over the production hub as Head of Production, a role that gives him overall responsibility of the print production process, quality improvement, design and graphics. A critical role of the production hub will be to ensure that stories that the product editors plan to use big in their papers are reworked to add the value and relevance that will make them worthwhile Day 2 stories. This is key to ensuring continued resonance of our newspapers to readers that already get most of their breaking news freely on social media platforms.

Reporting into Eric will be John Kiplagat (chief sub-editor), Joe Mbuthia (Production Editor), Kibe Kamunyu (Quality Editor), the Revise/Rewrite team, the Chief Graphic Designer and the Chief Librarian.

Timothy Wanyonyi has been appointed the Head of Content, a role responsible for generation of content. All reporters and the news reporting teams will report into this new role whose first customer will be the online platforms. Timothy will ensure that our news production cycle is not primarily dictated by the print but by the immediacy of digital. He will set up a 24-hour newsroom and ensure that breaking news is very rapidly available for posting online and work closely with the online team to ensure that the stories are regularly updated.

Reporting into Timothy will be Bernard Namunane (Assignments Editor), the Regional Editors, and the Photo Editor.

Churchill Otieno has been appointed the Editor, Online and New Content, an important role in the newsroom as it will be the first contact point with readers and consumers interacting with our content online.  This is the unit that will ensure that our websites and social media platforms are first with the news and are constantly updated. It will also be responsible for originating and executing ideas that should place us at the forefront of content innovations, for example as is happening under Nation Newsplex. Churchill will also liaise very closely with the Digital team to facilitate synergies around content generation and use of analytics to give editors a better understanding of customer behavior and the performance of our content.

Reporting into Churchill will be Harrison Misiko (Online Editor), the social media team, the Newsplex team and the Video Hub team.

I also wish to announce the consolidation of the Meru and Nyeri bureaus under Leonard Nguchu; the Kisii and Kisumu bureaus under Gekara Mayaka. John Kiplangat will move from Kisii to Eldoret and David Opiyo and Njeri Rugene will be re-deployed to Nairobi – David on the Revision team and Njeri on the content generation desk. Lucas Barasa will take over as Regional Editor in Mombasa. Caroline Wafula remains in Nakuru.

These changes take place with effect from Monday January 16th 2017, except for the bureaus, which should be completed by February 13th 2017.

Join me congratulating all the colleagues’ assigned new roles. Please extend to them all the support they need as we work to make NMG an even more successful content company.

Renown Tanzanian celebrity bashed for posting a video hanging out with a gay guy

Gigy money is not afraid of getting bashed by the online community. She actually enjoys controversy and this is why her recent video has left many Tanzanians attacking the video vixen.

The lass is seen hanging out with her 3 girlfriends but one is actually gay. Judging from what they had been sipping the ladies seemed a bit too aggressive as they sent out a message to those hacking their instagram accounts.

Gigy Money and James

However, most seemed to concentrate with the gay fella who has women like characteristics including gossiping. The guy or rather lady was identified as James_delicious and is quite popular in the Tanzanian entertainment industry.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BPKzfXxhYEC/?hl=en&taken-by=gigy_money

Judging from his social media pages, James has a great following and is friends with a lot of female celebrities from Tanzania. Unlike most gays he is not afraid of admitting that he is attracted to the same sex.

Anyway, thanks to Gigy now the guy has been receiving alot of bashing on his social media pages but as expected he is not one to care about peoples opinions.

No need to travel to Dubai! Chris Kirubi’s Two Rivers Mall launches spectacular giant dancing fountain that puts it at par with Dubai’s finest (Video)

East Africa’s largest mall is already making mouths wag even before it officially opens its doors to the public. Two Rivers Mall features almost all components of hospitality available at Dubai Mall.

Two Rivers mall is project undertaken by Centum Group which billionaire Chris Kirubi owns majority of the shares.

The mall which is located near the affluent neighborhood of Runda, was set to open in October 2015 but the opening date kept on being postponed due to construction delays.

Two Rivers will finally open on Valentine’s Day February 14th 2017; preparations have been underway to treat shoppers to a ‘feel of Dubai’ on the opening day.

The most spectacular attraction at Two Rivers is perhaps the dancing color fountain. The water attraction is at par with Dubai’s Sharjah Fountain.

Wachina wametuchesa! Kenyans cry foul after comparing Moroccan new trains with the new SGR trains arriving at the port of Mombasa (Photos)

When the country upgraded from the colonial-era meter gauge railway to the current standard gauge railway (which is still under construction), Kenyans expected European-ish trains and not the ugly diesel locomotives the Chinese are bringing in.

Just like Kenya, Morocco embarked on an ambitious project to upgrade its rail line. While the Moroccan government decided to seek electric trains from France, Kenya settled for Chinese diesel engine locomotive.

Morocco is constructing a 350km railway line that connects the city of Casablanca and Tangier at a cost of 20 billion Moroccan Dirham or 205 billion Kenyan shillings.

The trains that will be plying the route will be travelling at an average speed of 320 kilometers per hour; making it the fastest rail line in Africa. The project is expected to be completed in 2018.

Morocco train 2 Morocco train 3 Morocco train morr1

Back to Kenya; the government spent Kes 380 billion to upgrade the rail line from Mombasa to Nairobi which covers a distance of 427.4km.

The government awarded the tender to China Road and Bridge Corporation, a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company.

The ‘unattractive’ diesel engine locomotive that will be used in Kenya will be travelling at an average speed of 120km/h (passenger train) while freight train will travel at an average speed of 80km/h.

Kenyans took to the social media to express their frustrations with SGR when they saw the trains Morocco has procured for its rail line.

SGR train Kenya 2
Some Kenyans claimed that the Chinese SGR locomotives brought to Kenya were taken from Museums in China, painted then shipped to the country.

Mombasa Senator revealed he has never sat on the driver’s seat to drive a car in his life; this despite the fact that he owns several vehicles.

Senator Hassan Omar made a stunning revelation on Citizen TV that left viewers gazing at him in shock and awe.

Speaking on Power Breakfast show, the Mombasa Senator revealed that he has never driven a car in his entire life.

Strange world! Poor little boy born with rare birth defect that makes him look like he has two faces (Photos)

The 7 year old boy has been nicknamed ‘mask boy’ because of the rare birth defect he suffers from which makes him look like he has two faces.

A Chinese baby born with a rare birth defect called transverse facial cleft has caught the attention of people across the globe.

Baby Huikang, born to a humble family of farmers in southern China’s Hunan Province, has two huge gaps appearing from both sides of his mouth leading towards his ears.

Huikang’s mother, Yi Lianxi, told the media that she had three ultrasound scans and one Doppler ultrasound scan during her pregnancy but no deformation was detected.

She also revealed her family was teased and looked down upon by their neighbors for the boy’s unusual appearance; some even suggested they should throw away the child.

Media reports about Hukang’s condition saw well-wishers send their contributions to cater for mask boy’s reconstructive surgery.

Hukang has undergone two successful surgeries but doctors say he would need to wait for about 10 years to see if his facial bones would grow in a normal way.
