Alex Mwakideu sounds the alarm following study revealing 10% of young Kenyan men have erectile dysfunction

Posted on by Ozymandias

Radio personality Alex Mwakideu has sounded the alarm over a worrying health trend affecting young men in Nairobi, after revealing that erectile problems are no longer limited to older age groups.

Speaking on his radio show on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, Mwakideu cited recent studies indicating that nearly one in ten men aged between 18 and 35 are now experiencing erectile dysfunction, a condition that was previously more common among middle-aged and elderly men.

A Growing Issue Among the Youth

Mwakideu expressed concern over the rising numbers, questioning why such a condition is increasingly affecting young, otherwise healthy men. He noted that the trend reflects deeper lifestyle and health challenges facing urban youth today.

According to the radio host, medical experts have linked the increase to a range of lifestyle choices that are becoming more prevalent among young men in Nairobi.

Lifestyle Habits Under Scrutiny

Doctors, as referenced during the show, point to factors such as frequent marijuana use, cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and other forms of drug abuse as major contributors to the problem. These habits, experts say, can interfere with blood circulation, hormone balance, and overall sexual health.

Mwakideu emphasised that while many young men may dismiss the risks, the long-term effects of substance use are beginning to show earlier than expected.

Call for Awareness and Health Conversations

The radio presenter urged young men to take the issue seriously and to pay closer attention to their health choices. He also encouraged open conversations around sexual health, noting that silence and stigma often prevent early intervention.

By raising the issue on his platform, Mwakideu hopes to spark broader awareness and prompt young men to seek medical advice rather than suffer in silence.

The discussion has since generated debate among listeners, highlighting the need for increased health education and preventive care targeting young adults in urban settings.

Andrew Kibe takes a swipe at Christianity and Jesus Christ

Posted on by Ozymandias

Controversial YouTuber Andrew Kibe has once again lit up the internet after boldly explaining why he steers clear of big social gatherings like weddings and funerals.

Speaking during an appearance on the Alex Mwakideu TV podcast, the outspoken former radio host laid bare his unapologetic views on tradition, religion, and what he calls the “fakeness” of modern society.

“I Don’t Do Ceremonies”

Kibe made it clear that weddings are a hard no for him. According to the polarising commentator, such events are a massive waste of time, money, and emotional energy.

He singled out weddings as particularly irritating, claiming people obsess over meaningless details for hours on end.

“I don’t think it’s necessary… someone will spend 30 minutes discussing a wedding cake. I don’t have that time,” he said, dismissing the entire ceremony culture as pointless.

Funerals, Faith and a Brutal Take on Religion

His boycott doesn’t stop at weddings. Kibe also avoids funerals, especially those dominated by religious sermons.

He questioned why clergy spend time preaching about Jesus during burial services instead of addressing the reality of death and loss.

“Funeral service tells us about Jesus, who was 2,000 years ago. What is Jesus doing in our conversation?” he asked, adding that Kenya has “lost its way.”

Kibe went further, calling for religion to be pushed out of public life altogether. He argued that faith should be strictly personal and cited China as an example of a thriving, “godless society.”

“Religion is your business; it’s not our business… don’t bring your delusions out here in the public,” he said bluntly.

Slamming Marriage as ‘Fake’

Kibe’s refusal to attend weddings is rooted in his deep mistrust of modern marriage. He claimed that most married people live dishonest lives and present a fake image to the world.

According to him, if spouses truly knew everything about each other, many marriages would collapse.

He even revealed that he avoids working with married men, describing them as unreliable and prone to changing their minds.

New Book, Same Controversy

Despite — or perhaps because of — the backlash his views often attract, Kibe is pressing on with his brand. He is currently promoting his new book, 28 Commandments: Journey into Manhood, which outlines life lessons he wishes he had known at 28.

Pastor Robert Burale Sues Ex-Wife Rozina Mwakideu & Alex Mwakideu For Ksh 20 Million

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Motivational speaker and pastor Robert Burale has filed a lawsuit seeking Ksh 20 million in damages against his former wife, Rozina Mwakideu, and media personality Alex Mwakideu.

The lawsuit names Rozina and Alex, who are siblings, as the first and second defendants, respectively. Burale claims the pair defamed him during an interview titled

“My Biggest Mistake Was Marrying Robert Burale,” which was published on Alex Mwakideu’s YouTube channel.

Allegations of Defamation and Negligence

 

In court documents filed at the Milimani Chief Magistrates’ Court, Burale—who describes himself as a cleric of national repute—alleges that the interview, which premiered on October 4, 2025, portrayed him as manipulative, hypocritical, a swindler, and homosexual.

He argues that these statements were false, malicious, and specifically intended to tarnish his name, reputation, and integrity as a pastor and mentor.

Burale further accuses Alex Mwakideu of professional negligence, stating that the media personality failed to verify the serious allegations made by his sister or seek Burale’s response before airing the content. He also faults Alex for allegedly encouraging viewers to “share widely,” which he claims intensified the spread of the defamatory claims.

Seeking Damages and Video Removal

 

The court papers cite specific time-stamped remarks from the interview, claiming they subjected Burale to ridicule, mental anguish, and significantly lowered his standing among “right-thinking members of society,” thereby jeopardizing his ministry and livelihood.

The suit also makes reference to an October 7, 2025 segment on Radio 47, where Alex Mwakideu allegedly attempted to distance himself from some of the statements made during the controversial interview.

The matter has been filed under the court’s fast-track procedure. The defendants have not yet filed their official responses.

Alex Mwakideu finally discusses “setting up” Robert Burale

Posted on by Ozymandias

Radio host and content creator Alex Mwakideu has broken his silence following widespread claims that he deliberately set up Robert Burale during a recent episode of his podcast featuring his sister and Burale’s ex-wife, Rozinah Mwakideu.

The controversy erupted after Rozinah made candid remarks about her failed marriage to the popular pastor and motivational speaker — comments that quickly went viral and sparked heated debate online.

Alex Denies Orchestrating a Setup

Speaking to TV47, Alex dismissed the allegations, insisting there was no hidden agenda behind the two interviews. Responding with humor, he said:

“Kwa nini nifanye hivyo?”

He explained that he initially had no plans to host his sister, but after Burale’s episode, fans flooded his comments urging him to give Rozinah a chance to share her side of the story.

According to Alex, he simply responded to audience demand and had no idea Rozinah would make such strong statements about her ex-husband.

How the Drama Unfolded

The situation began when Alex first hosted Burale on his podcast, where the pastor calmly discussed his past marriage, saying that while it didn’t work out, they had managed to remain cordial after their divorce.

A week later, Alex invited Rozinah to the same platform. Her version, however, painted a starkly different picture.

In the now-viral clip, Rozinah openly declared that “marrying Burale is my biggest regret in life.”

The timing of her appearance led many online to suspect that Alex had intentionally set up Burale, especially since Rozinah is his sister.

Public Reaction

The back-to-back interviews quickly took over social media, dividing fans.
Some accused Alex of using personal family matters for clout, while others defended him, saying he was simply offering both sides of the story.

The interviews also reignited public conversations around Burale’s personal life and his openness about topics such as divorce, faith, and personal growth.

“No Malice, Just Honest Conversations”

Despite the backlash, Alex maintained that his podcast is built on transparency and real dialogue — not controversy.

He stressed that there was “no malice” behind hosting the two guests, describing the outcome as an “unexpected twist” that naturally emerged from interviewing two people with differing perspectives.

Alex Mwakideu Denies Orchestrating ‘Setup’ Interview With Robert Burale’s Ex-Wife

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Media personality Alex Mwakideu has refuted claims that he engineered a recent explosive interview with his sister, gospel singer Rozinah Mwakideu, as a calculated “setup” against her ex-husband, motivational speaker Robert Burale.

Rozinah’s interview, which aired on Alex Mwakideu’s YouTube channel, quickly went viral after she candidly described her brief marriage to Burale as “the biggest mistake of her life” and a “dark chapter.” Given that Mwakideu had also previously interviewed Burale about the marriage, critics online speculated that the back-to-back interviews were a deliberate attempt to corner the city pastor.

A Right of Reply, Not a Setup

In response to the speculation, social media commentators have defended Alex Mwakideu, arguing that his decision to interview his sister was merely a case of offering a “right of reply” in a highly publicized matter.

The controversial interview with Rozinah Mwakideu followed an earlier episode on the same channel where Robert Burale had discussed their failed, one-year marriage, stating that they were simply “two good people who just didn’t work out.”

However, Rozinah’s subsequent rebuttal, aired on October 4, 2025, introduced shocking new details, including allegations of “red flags” and “deep-seated conmanship,” leading many to believe that the interviewer (Rozinah’s brother) had an agenda.

Rozinah’s Explosive Claims

During her tell-all conversation, Rozinah was unflinching in her assessment of the relationship, which ended in divorce in 2013.

“My biggest mistake in life was marrying Robert Burale, and my darkest period was being with him,” she stated. She revealed that she was relieved she did not have children with him, which she now considers a “blessing.”

The dramatic public exchange has fueled a social media debate about the ethics of interviewing close family members on sensitive personal issues, especially when the subject is a public figure like Robert Burale. Despite the intense scrutiny, those close to Mwakideu maintain the interviews were designed to present both sides of the story, even if one side came with a family connection.

Rozinah Mwakideu reveals her mother warned her about Robbert Burale

Posted on by Ozymandias

In a deeply personal interview shared on Alex Mwakideu’s YouTube channel, Rozinah Mwakideu opened up about her brief marriage to preacher Robert Burale, calling it the darkest period of her life and a mistake she still regrets.

The video, aptly titled “My Biggest Mistake Was Marrying Robert Burale,” offers an unfiltered look into her pain, the lessons she learned, and the warning signs she says she overlooked.

Breaking Her Silence

In Season 2, Episode 7 of the show, Rozinah recounted how she met Burale, married him within a year, and separated just “one year and two days” later.

She admitted ignoring her mother’s warning, saying, “My mother told me she saw darkness in that marriage, but I didn’t listen.”

Rozinah recalled being taken to Burale’s family home in Karen under the pretext of visiting her brother. The visit lasted nearly a month, during which she says they shared a room but remained celibate — something she later interpreted as being more about control than mutual decision.

She also revealed that she received anonymous messages and social media warnings about Burale’s character, but he brushed them off as envy and jealousy from others.

Burale’s Side of the Story

In contrast, Robert Burale has previously offered a softer explanation for their split.
During a 2018 interview, he cited poor communication and limited quality time as the main causes of their separation.

The pair’s conflicting narratives have long drawn public curiosity — with Rozinah implying issues of control and mistrust, while Burale frames the breakup as a result of relational challenges.

Healing and Moving On

Now 50, Rozinah says she has healed and grown from the experience but still considers marrying Burale her biggest mistake.

Alex Mwakideu Sits With Robert Burale, Presses Him About Divorcing His Sister

Posted on by Ozymandias

Preacher and motivational speaker Robert Burale recently sat down with radio host and podcaster Alex Mwakideu for a candid conversation that revisited Burale’s brief marriage to Mwakideu’s sister, Rozina.

The highly anticipated interview, aired on the Alex Mwakideu TV podcast, saw Burale confronted directly with questions about why the marriage — which lasted just over a year — ended.

A Direct Question

Mwakideu introduced Burale as his “former brother-in-law” and noted that many look up to him for guidance on matters of relationships and marriage. Without hesitation, he posed the question:

“My sister Rozina Mwakideu — why did you divorce her?”

In response, Burale described Rozina as “a very respectable woman and a great woman of God,” stressing that he continues to hold her in the highest regard.

Clearing the Air

Pressed to give a definitive reason, Mwakideu pointed out that divorce is often linked to infidelity or domestic violence. Burale firmly dispelled both possibilities.

“There was no violence in my marriage. There was no infidelity in my marriage. But I think sometimes two good people just don’t work out,” he explained.

Taking Responsibility

While absolving his ex-wife of any blame, Burale acknowledged his own shortcomings. He admitted he had not lived up to the expectations of maturity and spiritual leadership within the marriage.

He further reflected that one of their greatest missteps was allowing too many outside voices into their relationship:

“Some of the people who call themselves your friends don’t really want you to stay together,” he cautioned.

Burale went on to describe the marriage as a “failure,” but one that has since given him perspective and purpose.

“I failed in that area. But I have a message that gives other people victory,” he said, noting that his divorce in 2013 — 12 years ago — set him on a path of self-discovery.

From Failure to Message

For Burale, the experience remains a personal lesson in growth. While painful, it has become a cornerstone of the testimony he shares with others, blending honesty about his past with encouragement for those facing similar struggles.

Alex Mwakideu Opens Up About His Short-Lived Romance with a Mzungu Woman in Germany

Posted on by Ozymandias

Veteran radio host Alex Mwakideu has lifted the lid on an unusual chapter of his past, revealing that he once dated a white woman while working in Germany—a relationship he describes as the shortest of his life.

Speaking in an interview with comedian Dr. Ofweneke, Mwakideu recalled the brief fling back in 2008, when he was working at Deutsche Welle.

“I have dated a Mzungu, and that was the shortest relationship of my life. I met a lady who was a soldier,” he said.

Cultural Clashes

Asked whether he would ever date a Mzungu again, the celebrated broadcaster was quick to dismiss the idea, explaining that cultural differences made the relationship almost impossible to sustain.

“Niliona tu siwezi na wazungu, bro. Wazungu wana mambo mingi. If you’re an African child raised in an African way, you can’t date a Mzungu,” he said, adding that even someone like Dr. Ofweneke would struggle.

According to Mwakideu, such relationships demand extreme compromise. “You must be very humble and obedient. You have to be a ‘yes sir’ person, and even your social life has to change completely,” he advised.

Why It Ended

The romance ultimately crumbled when the German woman visited Kenya. Mwakideu says her discomfort with his outgoing personality and friendly interactions with female fans became a dealbreaker.

“She complained about me hugging female friends. On the third day, she walked out of the club and checked into a guesthouse for the rest of her trip,” he recounted.

Despite his attempts to reassure her that his friendliness was simply part of being a radio presenter, she ended the relationship just three days into her three-week stay.

“That’s how the story ended. I had to let her go,” Mwakideu concluded.

Finding Lasting Love at Home

Away from the short-lived foreign romance, Mwakideu later found lasting love with Mariamu Mwemba, who would become his wife.

He first met her in 2006 while still living at the Coast. “Mariamu alinisumbua kweli! I pursued her for years… she kept telling me I wasn’t ready,” he recalled in a past interview with Churchill.

Persistence eventually paid off after Mwakideu moved to Nairobi. “I had a girlfriend but was still charming her. When I came to Nairobi I told her I did not have a girlfriend, and she accepted me,” he said with a smile.

The two tied the knot in 2014, with Mwakideu publicly vowing never to leave her.

A Wife’s Loving Tribute

Their love has since stood the test of time. In 2021, on Mwakideu’s 40th birthday, Mariamu shared a heartfelt message celebrating her husband:

“You took my breath away when we first met, and today you still leave me breathless every day! Husband, I want you to know that I love you with all my heart. You have made every step of our journey together a wonderful experience. Happy birthday my love 😍😍.”

Awinja’s Confession: Why She “Turned Down” Alex Mwakideu

Posted on by Ozymandias

Jacky Vike, widely known as Awinja, recently addressed why she appeared to reject Radio 47 host Alex Mwakideu in the past.

During an interview on Radio 47, Mwakideu jokingly reminisced about his past attempt at pursuing Awinja, saying:

“Nilikukatia, ukanikataa.” (I made a move on you, but you turned me down.)

However, Awinja was quick to clarify:

“I would have said yes immediately—I didn’t reject him. He just wasn’t clear about his intentions! You can’t just take me out, buy me lunch, and expect me to figure out that you want to date me.”

Mwakideu is now happily married to Mariam Mwemba, with whom he shares three daughters. The couple has been together for 18 years and married for a decade.

Mwakideu’s Heartfelt Tribute to His Wife

In celebration of International Women’s Day, Mwakideu took to social media to express his love and appreciation for Mariam:

“Happy International Women’s Day, my love! I celebrate you today—not just because it’s your day, but because you are truly one of a kind. Your patience, kindness, and forgiving heart strengthen our love every day. The way you treat me like a king and respect my family speaks volumes about your beautiful soul. And speaking of beauty—you are everything I ever prayed for and more. I am beyond blessed to have you by my side. Thank you for being the incredible woman that you are. I love you always!”

Mwakideu’s Long Pursuit of Mariam

The radio host revealed that he first met Mariam in 2006 while he was still in another relationship.

“Mariam alinisumbua kweli! I pursued her since 2006, but she always said I wasn’t ready.”

Things eventually shifted when he moved to Nairobi for work.

“I had a girlfriend but was still trying to win her over. When I moved to Nairobi, I told her I was single, and that’s when she finally accepted me.”

In 2014, the two officially tied the knot, and Mwakideu remains steadfast in his commitment:

“We had our wedding in 2014… It’s been a long journey, but I’m never leaving her. I already made that promise before a church.”

Alex Mwakideu Celebrates Two Decades in Broadcasting

Posted on by Ozymandias

Kiswahili radio icon Alex Mwakideu is celebrating 20 years in the broadcasting industry with a lavish event.

The Radio 47 presenter hosted the celebration at Sarit Centre’s Alloy Lounge on November 20, marking his milestone in style. Invited guests, dressed in black and gold as per the event’s theme, expressed their gratitude for the thoughtful invitations.

The guest list included notable names like Wilbroda (Nyaminde), Mwende Macharia, Jalang’o, MCA Tricky, King Kaka, Dr. Ofweneke, Obinna, Vijana Barubaru, and Churchill. Jalang’o and Mwakideu, former co-hosts, were fan favorites during their time together on air. Mwakideu hinted at a possible reunion, saying, *“We’re in talks, so something might come up soon.”*

Reflecting on the dynamics of radio partnerships, Mwakideu shared how initial collaborations can often be tense. *“When you’re assigned a new co-host, like Jalas or MCA Tricky, there’s usually some behind-the-scenes friction. People don’t know this, but there’s a lot of conflict at first.”*

Despite the challenges, Mwakideu described his journey as fulfilling. *“It feels incredible. Two decades is no small feat. Celebrating with my people here today is truly amazing,”* he said.

He recounted how his entry into radio began unexpectedly. *“The news anchor got stuck in traffic, and I was told, ‘This is your time to shine.’ Luckily, I had trained for such moments. I went on air, did my best, and that’s how I got the job.”* Despite not having studied journalism, his natural talent and determination paved the way.

Initially working as an actor and voice-over artist earning Ksh 5,000 a month, Mwakideu transitioned into radio by reading commercials. His strict work ethic played a key role in his success. *“I don’t tolerate nonsense. Anyone who has worked with me knows this. We would often argue after shows,”* he admitted.

Jalang’o, he revealed, was his most challenging co-host. *“He’s incredibly stubborn and confident. Working with him wasn’t easy,”* Mwakideu joked.

Fans showered Mwakideu with congratulatory messages:
– **@nyakwarnjago**: *“You’ve been so inspirational, educative, and entertaining. May God bless you, Kaka!”*
– **@rowel.mwamba**: *“I’ve followed your journey step by step. Congratulations!”*
– **@eli_omundu_khumundu**: *“Congratulations, chairman!”*
– **@e.foresther**: *“Mad respect. Congratulations!”*
– **@mavo_onthe_beat**: *“Congrats, Master!”*

Mwakideu’s two-decade journey stands as a testament to his passion, resilience, and dedication to the craft.

Mwakideu Addresses Rumors About Working for Adani After Being Linked to WhatsApp Group

Posted on by Ozymandias

A whistleblower has alleged that Alex Mwakideu, along with other influencers, was compensated by a Kenyan marketing firm to enhance Adani’s public image. This claim includes information about a ‘sanitisation’ WhatsApp group, where Mwakideu is said to be a member.

In response, the popular Kenyan radio presenter has strongly refuted these allegations, stating he has not been paid to promote a positive narrative about Adani on either radio or social media.

The accusations were made by an X user named Nelson Amenya, who is reportedly the whistleblower behind the controversial deal between Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Adani. Amenya urged the public to scrutinize Mwakideu’s social media activities and listen to his show on Radio 47 for evidence of him defending Adani.

Amenya contends that Mwakideu and other influencers were hired by a marketing agency to improve the perception of Adani, claiming that Mwakideu’s on-air comments appeared to support the Indian conglomerate.

“Alex Mwakideu has been paid by a marketing company to portray Adani positively on the radio. His comments make it seem like he is defending Adani, almost as if he has been compensated,” Amenya stated.

He also shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp group, alleging that Mwakideu’s membership was part of a coordinated effort to enhance Adani’s image in Kenya.

In his rebuttal, Mwakideu challenged Amenya and others making such claims to provide solid proof of any involvement in a paid campaign for Adani. He even offered a reward of 1 million Kenyan shillings to anyone who could present evidence of him defending Adani online or on air.

“I don’t know who posted this, but I hear he’s called Nelson Amenya. Check all my social media pages, listen to Radio 47. If you find any evidence of Alex Mwakideu defending Adani in any way, I’ll give you 1 million shillings cash. There’s no time limit on this offer, so take your time. All the best!” he stated.

Mwakideu also questioned the significance of the WhatsApp group, asserting that being part of a chat does not imply wrongdoing.

“Which WhatsApp group is this? Kenyans are waiting for your evidence. I’m waiting too. Show evidence of where I was paid or where I defended Adani. Just being in a WhatsApp group is not proof,” he remarked.

Woman whose job Alex Mwakideu took at Radio47 speaks up

Mkamburi Chigogo, a presenter at Radio47, has said that she will miss working with her former co-host Emmanuel Mwashumbe. Mwashumbe has left Radio47 to join Alex Mwakideu on the morning show at Milele FM.

Chigogo said that she will miss Mwashumbe’s support and lack of drama. She is now hosting a new show called Mchikicho, which airs from 10am to 1pm every day of the week.

Mwakideu’s move to Milele FM comes after a week of uncertainty. He had initially said that he would be staying at Radio47, but then announced that he was leaving. He has said that he is excited to start a new chapter at Milele FM.

The move is a major coup for Milele FM, which is hoping to boost its ratings with the addition of Mwakideu. He is a popular presenter with a large following, and his move is expected to attract new listeners to the station.

Radio47 is also hoping to continue to be successful without Mwakideu. Chigogo is a talented presenter, and her new show is sure to be popular. The station is also planning to launch a new morning show, which will be hosted by a different presenter.

It remains to be seen how the changes will affect the two stations. However, it is clear that both Radio47 and Milele FM are committed to providing their listeners with the best possible programming.

Alex Mwakideu Departs Milele FM for Radio 47

Posted on by Ozymandias

After five years at Milele FM, popular radio presenter Alex Mwakideu has announced his departure from the station. He will be joining Radio 47, a media outlet under Cape Media that also operates TV47.

Mwakideu will be co-hosting the morning breakfast show alongside Emmanuel Mwashumbe, known by the alias Mbappe. The show is scheduled to debut on Monday, August 28, 2023, running from 6 am to 10 am.

Mwakideu’s move to Radio 47 comes just a week after he addressed his listeners on social media, reassuring them of his continued presence on Milele FM. However, he later clarified that there had been a misunderstanding with the management of Mediamax, the parent company of Milele FM, but that it had since been resolved.

In a statement, Radio47’s management confirmed that Mwakideu’s move to the station was imminent.

“Alex Mwakideu joins Cape Media-owned Radio47 starting this Monday. He will be hosting the ‘Breakfast 47’ show alongside Emmanuel Mwashumbe,” the company said in a statement.

Mwakideu’s journey in the radio industry saw him make a significant transition from Radio Maisha, where he had spent eight years, to Milele FM in August 2018. At Radio Maisha, he hosted the morning show, which was subsequently taken over by comedian Captain Otoyo.

Mwakideu’s decision to join Radio 47 marks him as the latest in a growing list of notable media personalities who have aligned themselves with both Radio 47 and its sister entity, TV47. Just recently, former Citizen TV presenter Willis Raburu made his debut on TV47, where he will be hosting a show every Friday at 10 pm.

Mwakideu is a highly experienced and respected radio presenter with a proven track record of success. His move to Radio 47 is a major coup for the station and is sure to boost its audience numbers. I am confident that he will be a great addition to the team and I look forward to hearing him on the airwaves.

Alex Mwakideu finally comes clean on rumours claiming he cheated on wife

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Alex Mwakideu a few months was exposed for allegedly having an affair with Irene Barungi, who also works at Milele FM.

The expose done by Edgar Obare portrayed Mwakideu as a good liar who knows how to hide his tracks. Despite the stories going viral Mwakideu maintained his silence until just recently when he opened up sharing his side of the story!

Speaking to his listeners during his morning show, Alex Mwakideu started off by acknowledging that the truth always sets someone free and this is what he had now decided to do! He went on to say;

There is a sense of peace you have when you say the truth. Recently I was trending on social media. There was a ‘ngamia’ I don’t know that wrote a story about me.

Just like the rest we have heard from before, the presenter denied having cheated on his wife and mother of his children; but blamed the ‘blogger’ for spreading lies through his platform.

Unlike Jalang’os exposè, Mwakideu was lucky to have Kenyans behind him – as most still don’t believe that the church man with good morals is capable of cheating on his wife. And for this reason Mwakideu went on to add;

But Kenyans supported me a lot saying “Mwakideu can never do such things.’ But the truth is, all those that were written did not happen. I tried to explain to the mother of my children not to believe such stories because they were not true.

Mrs Mwakideu’s reaction

Although I can tell you that Mwakideu must have put in  some hard work – trying to convince his wife about his alleged infidelity; especially with receipts from the IG slay queens…. the presenter managed to save his family at last.

He went on to add;

It reached a point I said my whole truth without hiding anything. She listened, there were done things that hurt her a bit; but she was happy I said the truth and from there we were at peace.

Like I said, I bet this is wasn’t as easy as he narrated it – but being a wise man at least he owned up to his mistakes!

Jalang’o quits Milele FM

Media personality and comedian Felix Odiwuor, popularly know as Jalang’o, has called it a day at Milele FM where he has been hosting the breakfast show with Alex Mwakideu since July 2018.

Taking to Instagram, Jalang’o revealed that he has been having discussions with the powers that be at Mediamax but their talks did not bear any fruit.

“I was not at work today because we had not agreed on a lot of things and terms and even as we speak my HR had me on hold discussing the terms of my employment,” he wrote.

He went on to add that his last day at the media house was Friday, June 19 and went on to thank the people that have supported him during his 2-year stint.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t agree. So just like that I won’t be at work tomorrow or any other day. I want to thank everyone who supported me and every fan who was with us to the point that we became the most popular no 1 radio station in the country,” Jalang’o added.

His announcement comes; barely hours; after it emerged that Mediamax had fired all its newsroom staff and spared only 2.

According to a source, the employees who were shown the door refused to agree to 50% pay cut that that had been proposed by the media house. Interestingly, they even laid off people who had accepted the 50% pay cut.

Crucial lessons Kenyans can learn from Alex Mwakideu’s cheating scandal

Posted on by David Kingsley

As you may or may not know, a few days ago, popular YouTuber and blogger Edgar Obare exposed the philandering ways of Milele FM radio presenter Alex Mwakideu.

Also read: Alex Mwakideu’s infidelity exposed as Edgar Obare introduces ‘Porini boys’!

Obare, who is known to expose public figures, shared Instagram screenshots that showed Mwakideu arranging for a meet up with his alleged side chic – Irene Barungi – so that they can do the nasty.

In the leaked conversations, the two are seen referring to each other as ‘babe’ before the media personality asks for a teaser of what awaits him.

When the scandal broke out, many people, including myself, expected Mwakideu to come out guns blazing and claim that the conversation is fake while pointing a finger at his detractors but none of that happened.

Instead, he opted to keep quiet and acted like he was not the talk of the town. I know this because I kept checking his social media accounts for a statement. Before we knew it, Kenyans had forgotten about the scandal.

There’s a crucial lesson that other people who are in the limelight and Kenyans in general can learn from all this and that is the fact that the more you talk about something is the more it sticks in people’s minds.

Truth is that if Mwakideu had gone the Jalang’o way and issued a statement on his social media accounts, we would still be talking about it to date because, well, he has given us a reason to continue talking about it.

By completely avoiding the story, despite the criticism he got on social media, it died a natural death and that means that it’s up to whoever who saw the screenshots to decide if the presenter was really sleeping with his colleague.

And to be honest, it doesn’t really matter whether they are having an affair or not because they are of legal age and I believe they are not mentally incapacitated.

Alex Mwakideu is the latest victim of Edgar Obare’s exposee!

According to reports, Alex Mwakideu has been secretly seeing a radio presenter from Milele FM called Irene Barungi. As seen on the instagram posts, Edgar reached out to both presenters hoping to get a response; but unfortunately the two never responded.

Being a credible news outlet, Edgar chose not to kill the story but share some of the evidence linking Mwakideu and Barungi together.

The screenshots prove that the two might have been sleeping together.  In the conversation the two are seen discussing how much they enjoy each others company especially after smoking some Marijuana.

However exposing Mwakideu left many of his fans confused on who to support between Edgar and Alex. This is probably because Mwakideu had given many hopes of finding a loyal man like him; only to realize he is no different!

Fans troll Alex Mwakideu

Earlier today as Mwakideu posted a new flaunting his x5 but what fans were more interested in, is his affair with Irene Barungi.

In the comment section most of the fans bashed him for cheating on the mother of his children; yet is the first one to act innocent on social media and radio.

Others went on t bash him and Jalango for hosting a show based on relationship; but behind closed curtains they are the ones sending their wives to bed in tears. One fan by the name of Nandwa left a comment saying;

Alex Mwakideu

nandwa.nandwa???????????????????????????? Watu wa ignore the nonsense blablabla aki let a spade be called a spade not a big spoon congratulations bro keep up

Although not everyone is criticizing him, there are those who have been encouraging him to ignore the stories circulating online. Well, of course there are those who understand that he could be facing a hard time at home; but this is also a lesson well learnt for the guy.

Below are some of the deleted comments left under Mwakideu’s post.

After learning that he is now expecting another baby, fans have gone ahead to congratulate the radio presenter for the job well done.

Although the couple has not confirmed whether they are pregnant or not. But judging from the photo shared by the Milele FM presenter; fans should probably sit back and wait for the arrival of the baby since the two rarely share any baby bump photos.

This will be the 4th child Mwakideu and his Miriam will be adding to their gorgeous family. Being a father of girls, Mwakideu must be counting himself lucky for the blessings he has been receiving since marrying his better half.

“Mama. RIP my dear. That was a great send off. Thank you all for your prayers, love, and support. Mungu awabariki,” he was quoted saying.
