Apart From Giving Shoutouts To The Same People Everyday,.. Here Are Six Other Things Maina Kageni Needs To Stop Doing In His Morning Show
‘Maina and King’ang’ In The Morning’ is arguably the most popular radio show in Nairobi. You can’t just flee from what the hosts have to say. 99% of matatus are always tuned in hence even non-fans have to swallow the topics. For reasons I don’t understand, I rarely miss the show too.
A few weeks ago, someone on Facebook came up with an interesting observation. Maina always ‘goteas’ the same people every morning. So the influential radio personality has now decided to diversify the recipients of his salaamz. But then, there are a few other things Maina should also change. It’s not that they are bad, it’s just that these particular things have been coated with monotony. Here are some of them
Laughing at King’angi’s jokes even when they are not funny
We have all noticed how Maina laughs even when King’ang’I coughs. He laughs so hard you would think he has been tickled. Something like this:
King’ang’i: Maina leo nimeona mtu akiimba. Aki ya Ngai
Maina: Pwahahaaa…Oh Lord. King’ang’I you are just the one. You are so funny. Pwahahaaa…Tihihiii
Really?
Over hyping Willy Paul
I still can’t understand why Maina likes Willy Paul so much. I noticed that he plays at least 3 of the guy’s songs every morning. Damn. And immediately after each of the controversial singer’s songs play, he goes, “What an artiste, what a talent, what a voice! I love this guy”. Come on Maina. Willy Paul? He’s no Michael Jackson or something.
Ordering whisky instead of chai
“Oh my. Someone please pass me a bottle of whisky”. This is what Maina always says whenever discussions get heated. Normal people ask for chai in the morning not whisky. But I guess Maina is no ordinary person…hahaa. He needs a sit-down with Mututho.
Calling people’s wives darling
Try calling a woman darling when her husband is there and you’ll be guaranteed to get an instant black eye. As a normal raiyaa, you also can’t go about calling all women darling or you might be subjected to slaps left, right and center. But Maina does just that in the confines of his studio. Whenever a troubled woman calls, he comforts her with that delicious word, making her recoil to a reassured being……hmmmmm.
Playing too many Bongo songs
Bongo songs are no classics. If Maina is to keep playing them, I think it’s also fair that he plays Kenyan songs too. But he doesn’t do that. There are a couple of tracks here in the 254, both old and new, that are soothing enough to get into Classic 105’s playlist
Pretending not to be shocked at the weirdest things
Woman calls in:
Woman: Maina imagine I’m sleeping with my brother and I’m okay with it. I love how he touches me
Maina: (laughs) Haiyaa… My goodness….is anyone else doing this? (Give me a call ….double two…double two, four nine four)
Lakini ni sawa tu
