5 Reasons Why Replacing Maina Kageni Will Be As Hard As Turning Vera Sidika Back Into A Dark Skin Woman

It’s hard to replace Maina Kageni….let alone stand in for him. For the last few days, he hasn’t been around to present his morning show and what we’ve been subjected to is playtime on a deserted park. Larry Asego, the guy who’s usually brought in to Maina’s work when he’s away just doesn’t have the same mojo. Every morning, Larry struggles to spread his foot into Maina’s gigantic shoes. But why is it so hard to replace Maina?

There’s only one Maina

The first true reason why it’s hard to replace Maina is because there’s virtually no one who can replace him. And there lies Radio Africa’s conundrum: Larry is a smart, personable workaholic with a tremendous skill set. But does he have the range to cover the remarkable spectrum of diverse, family and business issues that Maina has maestroed for years? Hell no

No one sells things the Maina way

If you are a keen Classic 105 listener, you must have noticed that the number of adverts in the morning show have lessened ever since Maina went away. It seems like corporate are not willing to bank their mulla on anyone else than him. Maina advertises land, insurance, power events and all kinds of cash rich ventures. He does this with a form of fluency and persuasion that no other media personality in Kenya has mastered.

Too often in selling salespeople are told, “Ask a lot of questions.” Well, that’s nice; but if we ask haphazardly, without a purpose, we are likely to ask irrelevant, disjointed, or non-germane questions that result in a non-cohesive exchange. That’s Larry’s weakness Customers are irritated by that. They will shut down. When they do, they close their lens of disclosure.

As well they should. Customers reward professionals and punish amateurs. And good for them for doing so. This reaction is fair, and it’s very predictable. Maina is a professional. Everyone else is an amateur

Probing Skills

Maina knows how to listen, and he knows the types of questions to ask. His consistency is unswerving. Regardless of the person or situation, He is adept and adroit when incorporating probing skills from his side of the microphone.

A great listener listens with a very distinct purpose: He or she listens to the speaker while looking for two things, content and emotion. Content, of course, is what someone says. Emotion is the emotional amplitude tied to what he or she is sharing. Maina retains what he hears, and zeroes in on areas of emotional value to the caller. .

Established fanbase

The styles of other presenters don’t resonate well with Maina’s established fanbase. There’s a reason why most people only listen to classic 105 during morning hours only. Maina has a fanbase that not anyone can manage to satisfy. Some are critics some are loyalists but they all listen to him. Over the years, the senior bachelor has showcased his improvisational skills as well as the penchant for delving into matters controversial. The species that can bring the same magic to the table is rare and endangered

Chemistry with King’ang’i

It’s been clear that King’ang’I and Larry Asego have no chemistry whatsoever. Maybe it’s because King’ang’I (Churchill) is way above Larry in the A-list ladder, whereas Maina is on King’nag’I’s celebrity level if not higher. The Classic 105 morning show is designed in such a way that Maina does most of the talking while King’ang’I chips in with little jokes here and there. When Maina is at the helm, King’angi’I is always on fire with his humor superpowers but when it’s Larry at the driving seat, gloom fills the air. It’s like when Maina is away, King’ang’I just decides to relax and wait for his status peer to return.
