Nandy and Bill Nass are now an item after the Tanzanian rapper went down on one knee to declare his untamed love for the songbird to the world.
On Good Friday, the 10th of April 2020, the female bongo sensation had a live performance with fans at her home in Tanzania, a show she electrified.
During the live show on Tanzania’s TVE, the beauty was cut short, half-way into her performance by rapper, Bill Nass who majestically walked up to her.

He opened up his heart to her before going down on one knee and asking her to be his happily ever after, with the words:
We’ve been together for so long and we have seen it all, from the good and the bad. I know your bad side and your good side but I have chosen both and I love you so much. I want the whole world to know and today is the best day to propose. I love you.
A teary Nandy could not hold back her true feelings for the rapper and outrightly said ‘Yes’ to him.

She then hugged him before locking lips to affirm to the world that the time had come to go public.
Lovers, Nandy and Bill Nass

Background
Nandy and Bill Nass are not strangers to the love circle having dated years back before splitting, with Nandy moving on with Tanzanian bureaucrat, Ruge Mutabaha.

He later passed on before they could officiate their union through marriage and it took a toll on the songbird.
Bill Nass provided the African Princess, a shoulder to lean on, something that might have then re-ignited their love flame.

Just recently, the rapper tattooed Nandy on his left arm – the first ever – and despite the pain, he decided to bare it just for his girl, Nandy.

Well, Congratulations to the lovebirds! Take a look:
Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) chief executive, Dr Ezekiel Mutua has offered to mentor and grow comedian Mulamwah’s talent after tweeps drove him almost into depression.
The comedian had seemingly given up his career in comedy after social media trolls saw his wife loose their 3-month old unborn baby.
This got the better part of him and he could no longer bear the negativity, therefore deciding to let his critics have their way.
Funny man, Mulamwah
He took to social media to set on fire his signature shirt, urging all who looked up to him, that it shall be well.
Thereafter, the funny man received a fair dose of sympathy and criticism from his audience. Some bursting him for being a ‘hypocrite’.
Radio girl, Kamene Goro and comedian, Mulamwah
Refuge
However, Kenya’s own moral cop, Dr Ezekiel Mutua has come to his aid, lighting a candle amid darkness, bearing a message of hope.
Dr Ezekiel Mutua (left) and comedian, Mulamwah (right)
On twitter, the communication tweeted:
I hear that twitterates are driving ย @mulamwah out of comedy & into depression. Bro pick yourself up and give me a call.
Further disclosing his set plans for the comedian, urging him, ‘never to give up!’.
I will buy you a new shirt, mentor you and make you an ambassador of clean content. The best way of dealing with cyber bullies is to refuse to give up!
Unfortunately, seems the Kenyan audience know Mulamwah way better than the media expert does, warning Dr Mutua to avoid digging his own grave.
Reactions
Take a look at some of the reactions from Kenyans:
A man claiming to be the late Pastor Beloved John’s friend and manager, Jesse McJeissy has called out singer, Ruth Matete for driving her husband to death.
Sunday, the 12th of April, Ruth Matete lost her husband after allegedly succumbing to burn injuries sustained following a gas explosion at their home in Athi River.
Darkness enveloped Kenyans soon after the news broke and went viral. However, controversial details about the Nigerian Pastor’s death are emerging.
Late Pastor Belovedjohn Apewajoye
Details
Mr Jesse recorded a 17-minute clip ‘exposing’ the terror in Ruth Matete and Pastor Belovedjohn’s marriage.
Belovedjohn’s marriage was never rosy. Ruth Matete you can tell the whole world the truth. You were very violent, you have stabbed him not once, not twice, not thrice.
The Nigerian man expressed sorrow over Belovedjohn’s untimely death – who can no longer reveal what exactly happened to him – as he now points fingers towards the TPF winner for allegedly killing her hubby.
Former couple, Ruth Matete and Pastor Belovedjohn
Attesting:
The last time you tried to kill Belovedjohn, I was there in Athi River in Greatwall Gardens. You guys had a fight and you almost killed him.
Jesse went ahead to share a screenshot of his conversation with Ruth Matete on the 2nd of April when the gas explosion allegedly occurred, to serve as evidence.
Adding that Pastor John had several times tried to to fly back to Nigeria from Kenya, to see his daughter and son but was restrained by Ruth Matete.

According to Mr Jesse, the Kenyan singer has psychological issues which need to be addressed before they get further out of hand.
Lawyers
In the light of all this, Kenya’s top criminal lawyer, Cliff Ombeta trashed the claims as ones caused by ‘pain’ for not getting his dues.
Top criminal lawyer, Cliff Ombeta
According to the legal mind, it is evident that Ruth loved and cared for the father to her unborn child, even calling for help for her injured hubby.
I have listened to the clip. It is only full of lamentations. All his info is from unverified sources. John is seen in the hospital. Therefore was not abandoned. He was taken to hospital. Ruth rushed for help.
Attesting that the Jesse’s pains for not getting paid for services offered, are the basis of his tantrums.
The narrator is having beef for unpaid services for work done. He also has beef because Ruth never wanted John to go back to Nigeria to his other family.
Lawyer, Cliff Ombeta
Concluding:
All those instances were before the actual incident leading to his death. Were they reported or documented or are they just from a bitter friend? Nothing said in that clip is relevant unless it directly led to the death. Unless the postmortem proves otherwise and investigations. We need to leave Ruth alone to mourn. Those hearsay stories will not do any good. Wait for investigations and then say what you can.
Ruth Matete is already being prosecuted in the public court.
Rumor has it that Diamond Platnumz and Wema Sepetu are currently seeing each other on the low!
Tbt: Wema and Diamond
The rumors which have been spreading for weeks now claim that East Africaโs finest couple may have reunited and from the look of things; these two might just shut down the entertainment industry since they are both loved by their African fans!
Well, we cannot confirm whether the rumors are true or not since both Wema and Diamond Platnumz continue to maintain their silence about this issue.
Fans beg for a reunion
Thanks to a post shared by an online Bongo tabloid, we can confirm that indeed team Wema and Diamond Platnumz still exists and in a matter of time they will reclaim their crowns on social media.
Throwback: Wema and Diamond Platnumz
Most of the fans went on to reveal that Wema has always been Diamond Platnumz first love; and now that Diamond is aging, he might as well wed Ms Sepetu.
Its a trap
Other fans felt that Diamond is back to steal Wema Sepetuโs shine since she has lately been turning heads on social media.
So far she has her own cooking show that has beenย driving in huge numbers – which is also good for Platnumz brand.
Back in the day when Wema was in love with Diamond Platnumz
Anyway, if the stories are true then this will be some interesting drama to watch; as all the baby mamas witness the reunion of two lovebirds unfold like never before.
Ali Kiba’s wife, Amina Khalef has distanced herself from a sham IG account that is using her real names, alleging to be her real account.
The world is currently experiencing hard economic times, grappling with the novel Coronavirus that is proving difficult to contain and opportunistic individuals are out to make money in whichever ways they can.
Among them being impersonation and especially of celebrities and personalities.
Ali Kiba’s Kenyan wife, Amina Khalef became a victim of this after running into a parody Instagram account, that can easily deceive anyone to take that as her real IG account.
Couple, Ali Kiba and Amina Khalef
The faux IG account’s profile reads:
Amina Khalef
Personal Blog
The real wife of Alikiba
Mother of keeyan kiba
Even going further to promote Kiba’s new jam ‘Dodo’, complete with a YouTube link to the song’s video, right below.
Topping it up are uploads of social events the two have attended: their son’s recent birthday celebrations and their wedding.
An account that has so far amassed well over 141,000 followers and has been operational for a while now.
Surprisingly, her real account only has over 83,000 followers.
Honestly, anyone would fall victim of this.
Scam
Fortunately, Mrs Kiba came across the account which she bashed as ‘false’ with her actual Instagram account being @aileenalora.
On her real Instagram account, Aileen Alora warned her fans of the sham, urging her followers to ignore it altogether.
Pseudo social media accounts are not news for individuals in the celebrity circles.
Tanasha Donna might be prepping fans for a new dose of her talents in the music industry.
The Kenyan singer has in the past had her album launches and music performances turn out an utter disappointment to fans who thought she was just not meant to be an artist.
With a failed Donnatella EP launch, the young model bounced back with a couple of hits, inclusive of ‘Gere’ that was a blow to her fans.
Tanasha Donna
Comeback
After landing in Kenya, late February, the songbird cautioned:
Weโre just getting started……
Further labeling herself:
Ticking time bomb… ????
Kenyan artist, Tanasha Donna
Laughing off her critics and know-it-alls:
If you thought you knew me or my plans… think again… ????????
Posing with her manager, Castro, Tanasha recently hinted that what she was about to unveil was something never seen before.
Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. We just getting started. Wagwan manager? Shall we? ????????@africancastroย ????????????????????
Tanasha with manager
To confirm it all, Tanasha’s manager, Castro divulged there is bigger and better set to be unveiled this April from hisย ‘Radio’ girl.
There is a planned media tour that Tanasha will have to unveil a huge project she has been working on. Tanasha has a new video coming out at that time. It is off the Donnatella EP. It is like nothing you have seen.
Tanasha Donna
Well, just when we thought she was letting her guard down, she might actually be pouncing back tougher, like a wounded lioness. Let’s wait and see.
Seasoned Kenyan journalist, Terryanne Chebet has fallen victim of manipulating her co-parent through their child.
Terryanne is well-known and established in the media profession but away from the screens, she is a proud mother of two daughters.
However, her two children are from different fathers, with whom she works with to ensure proper upbringing and growth of her children.
Terryanne Chebet with her two daughters
Through her YouTube channel, the Metropol TV General Manager spoke of her co-parenting struggles that saw her go to great extents, just to get back at her ex.
The key she said, is to ‘understand that the child is more important than both your issues’ and this is where respect comes in handy.
Make sure you both understand the child is more important than what you are going through. Try to be in a place where you respect each other, so you have to get there first. Respect takes a long time to grow, especially after trust has been broken or there are feelings of distress that have caused problems.
Terryanne Chebet with her first daughter, Imani
Speaking of co-parenting, the mompreneur admitted it might look easy but it is not fully so because at the end of the day, one’s interests are put aside for the sake of the children.
It’s easy to co-parent, but I don’t think it’s 100 percent easy. But it had to get to a place where we put the child first. I always say you don’t have to be best friends with your co-parent. Have a cordial relationship that they can call and talk to the child or pick the child.
Ego
Terryanne spoke of women who use the children to take revenge on the man and she was not different either.
The media mogul recalled a time she fell into that trap as well but with age, came maturity and wisdom, she let it go.
Terryanne Chebet
All because the child would be at the center of it all and end up being the victim.
I have seen women use the child to revenge on the man. I have done that because you’re upset with the father, but with time and maturity and wisdom, and speaking to older people who have been there, the advice they gave me is that it’s not you who will suffer in the end by denying the child access to the father.
Her closing remark:
So let’s put our egos aside and focus on what is best for the child.
On Sunday, Ruth Matete lost her Nigerian husband, Beloved John but a couple of Nigerians took the opportunity to instead backlash the Kenyan singer.
Ruth and her late hubby, Pastor Beloved John tied the knot in November 2019, in a ceremony criticized by many, who branded her a ‘husband-snatcher’.
Pastor John was allegedly still married to one Juliet Aihinomo Idehen with whom they sired two children.
However, the Nigerian pastor still thanked all his haters, affirming that him and his wife – Ruth Matete – were doing good and would continue doing well through God’s blessings.
Ruth Matete with her late hubby
Hubby’s note
Sadly though, however inhumane one can get, there are times when compassion needs to precede cruelty and for Ruth Matete, the time is now for her critics to just take a back seat.
Instead of standing in solidarity with her, as she grieved her late husband, who has left her carrying their unborn child, some Nigerians took a swipe at the Kenyan gospel singer.
Singer, Ruth Matete
An online user lashed:
Ruth, you refused to tell John the truth. John was married here in Nigeria, blessed with two lovely kids.he abandoned his family in Nigeria and pitch a tenth with you.for you not have tell him the TRuth…God will surely asked you someday. Even after we his family members called you,send you messages on Facebook to desist from this act, you still hold on to another’s woman’s husband.
Cautioning her that a man’s unjust ways lead to destruction. Before urging her to repent and ask John’s ‘other wife’ for forgiveness.
Comedian Mulamwah’s sad story has won the hearts of many, but not KISS 100’s Kamene Goro who instead rebuked him.
The radio queen called out the comedian for being a hypocrite yet he is the biggest bully in the industry.
During her show ‘Morning Kiss’, Kamene recalled a time when Mulamwah openly body shamed her and a friend of hers.
KISS 100 radio presenter, Kamene Goro
She ranted:
So dramatic. This is some hypocritical nonsense. Ati oooh my gosh you people are hating on me. First of all, personally, Mulamwah is the biggest bully I have ever met! I have been in this industry for 8 years very few people can bully me. Mulamwah bullied me online. So I posted a picture with Ronoh and we were sitting at the swimming pool rooftop at my place.
Bitterly recalling:
Mulamwah comes to the comment section and said if the two of us get into the pool, all the water pours out. And I am like ‘what?’ I look at that name and I am like ‘who is this?’ So I go to his DM and I am like ‘what is this nonsense?’ because You do not know me like this.
Radio personality, Kamene Goro
Taking Mulamwah’s emotional outburst with a pinch of salt, Kamene asked him to accept his turn of getting bullied.
We will not feel sorry for you as you have been doing it to people….somebody tell Mulamwah to take it like a shot of tequila. The shoe is on the other foot. Alarrrr just move!
Just yesterday, Mulamwah put his signature jacket on fire, citing continuous trolls.
Funny man Mulamwah
The comedian announced his exit from the industry, after trolls on his three-month old child’s loss became unbearable.
Kenyan artistes, Tanasha Donna and Ringtone were placed in forced quarantine after details emerged of a house party the two attended.

Kenyan artistes, Tansha Donna and Ringtone Apoko
Curfew
Kenya’s government put in place a curfew between 7pm and 5 am in order to help curb further spread of Coronavirus.
Social events and gatherings had been completely banned to observe social distancing. Stern measures were out in place for anyone who defied the directives.
However, Tim Matiba’s birthday celebrations seemingly flouted the government rules. It disregarded social distancing, lack of protective masks and extending beyond stipulated curfew hours.
Mogul, Tim Matiba
It emerges that all who were in attendance at the said event were put in forced quarantine, risking being charged thereafter.
Also, the individuals have been placed under forced quarantine at their own cost.
Chipukeezy has lately been trying out new things including hairstyles that have left him looking okay and somehow not so okay.
Being a celebrity for him has however been a blessing as he still has supporters who appreciate everything he does; including the new cornrow hairdo that left him looking some type of way.
Well, according to Chipukeezy his new hair style makes him look Kendric Lamar as seen on his Instagram page where he wrote;
Chipukeezyโs new hair do
Mmekataa chris brown lakini hii nayo nimewapata sasa???????????????????????????????????? @kendricklamar
Fans troll Chipukeezy
However it seems that fans did not agree with Chipukeezyโs post as they went on to call him out for trying โgirlyโ hairdos!
Others could not let the size of his head get in the way of making fun of the comedian who appeared to be fine with the comments.
His best friend Kartelo was also among the many trolling Chipukeezyโs new hair do! Anyway just like Eric Omondi, comedian Chipukeezy has lately been trying out new hairstyles and from the look of things; he is not about to stop the new trend.
Break up
In other news, Chipukeezy is believed to have parted ways with his girlfriend Kibanja following a few relationship issues.
Rumor has it that the comedian got fed up with his exes extra lifestyle; and for this reason opted out!
However we cannot confirm how true the rumors are but chances are that there is more to the story! Anyway as for now we shall have to wait for Chipukeezy to share his side of the story!
Moral cop, Dr Ezekiel Mutua is at the very least, impressed by the viral ‘Utawezana’ hit that has taken over the inter-webs since April 1st.
The Kenya Film and Classification Board CEO, censured the jam as ‘glorifying immorality in the guise of creativity’.
Through his Facebook account, Dr Ezekiel bashed:
The Okonkwo utawezana nonsense is a shallow, bizarre sexual perversion. There’s absolutely nothing creative there. That lady would be ashamed to sing such crap before her mother. While comic relief is an integral part of art, it needs not be dirty or sexualized to be entertaining.
Dr Ezekiel Mutua
“That content lacks rigour and defies common decency” he added, insisting that even in the face of such a crisis, artistes ought to focus on content creation that inspires hope and helps society deal with ongoing challenges.
Assuring ‘Utawezana’ artistes and those involved:
The Board will take stern measures against artistes who misuse digital technology to promote immorality by creating, broadcasting, distributing or exhibiting immorality and unpalatable content. Such people should not be considered as artistes. But enemies of society and a threat to the well being of our children. They should not benefit from any Government funds.
‘Utawezana’ artistes, Femi One and Mejja
The media ethics’ chief-whip said the artistes risk being blacklisted from any engagements with the government.
The Board will blacklist these kinds of perverts and share their names with the relevant ministries and Government agencies to ensure that they are never engaged by Government.
Children
Reasoning:
Right now kids are at home and have access to technology as an essential tool for their studies. It’s wrong to have content that can ruin their morals being circulated with wanton abandon. It’s worse when mainstream media begins to glorify such dirty content by giving the creators airtime on TV or Radio.
Dr Ezekiel Mutua
In line with the Government’s stipulations, the consummate media practitioner affirmed:
The Government has a duty to protect children from premature exposure to adult content. Those producing, broadcasting, distributing or exhibiting such immoral content will not benefit from Government funding. They will also never be allowed to perform in public events funded by the Government. Content doesn’t have to be obscene to sell.
He shamed grownups who were quoting the ‘idiocy’ and media houses treating it as ‘creativity’.
Thatโs not creativity. Itโs immoral foolishness that only appeals to perverts and unless we condemn it, many innocent kids will do this thinking itโs a fashionable and honorable thing!
Backlash
Comments that did not sit well with a section of Kenyans and ‘Utawezana’ challenge fans who came out to insult the moral cop.
However, Dr Ezekiel calmly responded to his trolls, warning them that some day, they will come to appreciate his concerns.
Those kids who keep insulting me on social media for condemning their obscene content and immoral activities will one day thank me for raining on their parade. They will grow up and realise how lucky they are that somebody stopped them from sliding further into the abyss!
Kenyan online sensation, Xtian Dela’s lawyers have been forced to respond following a law suit channeled their client’s way over his explicit show on Instagram.
Three parents, through a lawyer based at Ngugi Mburu Advocates, Nairobi, issued a letter on Friday, the 10th of April, accusing Xtian of violating the rights of teenagers.
The three parents felt the blogger was broadcasting lewd content on his Insta Live show, that engaged young girls.
Xtian Dela hosts ‘Club Covid’ Live show
The letter, addressed by Ngugi Mburu Advocates, reads in part:
Our instructions are to take such further steps in this matter as may be necessary. Including the institution of legal proceeding against our self for the distribution of the obscene images and contravention of the right to dignity at all times. Holding you liable for the costs thereby incurred and other consequences ensuring thereof.
Response
Even so, Xtian accused the parents of trying to ‘kill his vibe’ with the top-viewed live stream.
Xtian Dela
Seeming unmoved, the social media personality responded to the call to shut down his live stream, through his lawyers, on Sunday, the 12th of April, clarifying:
The aim of the live event is to suppress the anxiety and stress brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Something that even the government has been calling for.
The lawyers categorically stated that viewers watched the explicit content on their own will.
Thus, anyone with a contrary opinion should as well keep off of it on their own volition.
Blogger, Xtian Dela
The document also underlines Xtian’s knowledge of social media usage and laws, in regard to content and distribution of the said content on a social media platform.
Club Covid
Dubbed ‘Club Covid’ the Kenyan YouTuber’s show goes Live daily from 12 midnight to 4 am – which is outside the stipulated watershed period.
After taking a break, on Sunday, the show is set to resume today, Tuesday, same place, same time.
Club Covid has engaged female fans in twerking competitions with the best, earning their price.
‘Club Covid’ can easily be likened to American rapper, Tory Lanez ‘Quarantine Radio’ show that is all about entertainment, but at a larger scale.
These must be trying times for gospel singer, Ruth Matete who lost her husband last week Saturday, after succumbing to burn injuries.
Darkness engulfed the Kenyan singer’s heart and home, following a gas explosion in their home that saw her husband spend days fighting for his life in the ICU/HDU.
Ruth Matete still held on strong, for the sake of their unborn baby and her husband.
Ruth Matete with late hubby, Beloved John
Pastor Beloved John was doing well, even feeding himself, until the cruel hands of death snatched him away from the earth.
None of us can even try and fit in Ruth Matete’s shoes, but it must be immense for her.
Singer, Ruth Matete
All this is bearing in mind that the two had their nuptials only in November 2019 and Ruth, who is in her first trimester, has been left behind with a child to bear and bring up.
In support
Fellow gospel artist, Kambua, had ‘not enough words to comfort’ the grieving singer because none of the events can be explained yet.
Gospel artist, Kambua
‘May He catch and wipe your tears. May He lift your head ‘ Kambua penned, acknowledging God’s infinite power over Ruth Matete.
What do you say? No words are enough to comfort youย @ruth_matete . That the God of all comfort, in His own infinite power carry you. May He catch and wipe your tears. May He lift your head. And may your beloved Rest in eternal peaceโค๏ธ????โค๏ธ
Ruth Matete with late husband, Pastor John
Kambua’s post opened doors for fellow celebrities and personalities to grieve with a dear one during the difficult times.
Celebrated thespian, Catherine Kamau expressed:

Bubbly radio queen, Kalekye awed:

It is quarantine time and deep reflections had Lilian Muli reveal her biggest regret – cohabiting with her baby daddy.
The enchanting TV journalist sat at home, confronting issues she never allowed herself to confront before, all in an effort to run away from her reality.
“We lean on crutches in the name of relationships, friendships, partying etc” she said, adding “Some of these crutches are draining…its always a case of ‘same s… different day'”.
It’s exhausting but we get hooked to that normalcy.
TV girl, Lilian Muli
The sassy mother of two engaged fans in a Q&A session on her Instastories, inquiring about some of their regrets in life.
For a fan, cohabiting with a baby daddy was her biggest regret and Lilian Muli could not relate any better.
For the Citizen TV news anchor, a child was involved, thus making it more complicated for her.
This one is very complicated because a child is involved. I have done it, too, and it is not easy.
Another fan expressed deep regret of wasting 2 good years, loving the wrong person but for the TV beauty, hers was worse – a solid 6 years.
She encouraged the fan to forge forward because brighter days were coming.
Lol. You and me both, honey! Mine, six wasted years. You will love again.
Lilian Muli has so far been in 2 known relationships: a seven-year marriage to ex-hubby, Moses Kanene that yielded a son, Joshua.
Followed by a much-publicized relationship with business mogul, Jared Nevaton, with whom she sired another son, Liam.
Curfew
With a ‘lockdown’ that has seen most Kenyans spend more time at home than ever before, a dear Lilian Muli looked at its bright side, acknowledging the ‘non-value addition and inauthentic’ relationships.
I look forward to when this pandemic will be over but looking on the brigther side of the Rona…most importantly I don’t have time for inauthentic and non value adding relationships with anyone anymore.
Lilian Muli
Assuring:
When the Rona is over; I am 100percent sure I will be a different Lillian; and I’m not mad about that.
Kenyan Tik-Tok queen, Azziad Nasenya was offered a job by Tanzania’s Wasafi TV which she declined citing Diamond’s unscrupulous ways.
The 19-year old journalism student struck the limelight after her Tik-Tok video jamming to Femi One’s new hit ‘Utawezana’ featuring Mejja, went viral.
Diamond’s manager reached out to Azziad, inviting her to work with Diamond-owned Wasafi TV – an offer she outrightly declined.
Tik-Tok queen, Azziad Nasenya
Explained
Her main reason being Diamond’s known history with ladies, that has not left such a good taste of the Tanzanian superstar in his fans’ mouths.
I have never liked Diamond. He is a woman eater and has no respect for women. I will not accept this job. I preserve my dignity and do not work with those without morals.
Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz
She felt that Diamond was just out to misuse her before leaving her desperate.
Despite her decline, she thanked the bongo-based media for the grand opportunity and recognition given to her.
I don’t take the opportunity for granted. I wanna thank them for all that recognition and giving me a chance, but I have to make my decision as a woman.
Actress, Azziad Nasenya
Wasafi TV is just among the many job offers placed on the young lady’s table. Inclusive of a lead TV role on our local media – that she is yet to disclose.
I have received a lot of offers including Wasafi TV. So I will make my own decisions at my own pace.
Azziad further stated she was very much ready for a serious job and would in due course, decide which one suits her best.
Trolls
There are two sides of a coin and with the fame that has been showered on the actress, there has also been a fair share of cyber-bullying and trolls.
Azziad Nasenya
It got to a point she put off her phone after her number got leaked to strangers, that saw her receive over 13,000 messages on WhatsApp.
Ms Nasenya scolded social media users who unearthed old photos from her Instagram and YouTube accounts, just to shame her.
I don’t know why people would dig up old photos because all of our photos from back in the day look different. It was very weird.
The internationally acclaimed feature documentary, The Elephant Queen, filmed in Tsavo East National Park and the Greater Amboseli Tsavo ecosystem will be screened on Citizen TV this Easter Sunday, 12th April 2020 at 5 pm.
This is a unique broadcast and will not be repeated.
Background
The ‘Elephant Queen’ tells a stirring and intimate story about the most majestic and sentient animals in Africa.
This family-friendly film stars the ultimate leading lady, Athena – an elephant matriarch – who will do everything in her power to protect her family when they are forced to leave their waterhole.
‘The Elephant Queen’ Film
The film is directed by Mark Deeble and Victoria Stone with Etienne Oliff as Assistant Director and produced by Victoria Stone and Lucinda Englehart.
The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (The Boy who Harnessed the Wind and The Lion King).
Rarely do we get such an intimate glimpse into the animal kingdom and an insight into an elephant family.
Yet this is a story not only about elephants but of the animals that live at their toenail height…a tardy goose, a tenacious dung beetle and a determined tortoise to name a few.
Bull Frog ‘The Elephant Queen’ Film
This story is not just entertaining, it is one of survival, family and coming home.
Deeble and Stone stated:
The Elephant Queen is the result of eight years work, but really it is the culmination of a life’s work of filming in the wild. We had worked together for 25 years in East Africa making wildlife films before we felt confident enough to bring something different to a film about elephants.
Adding:
Seeing how the elephants reacted, as families, in the face of such adversity made us realise just how like humans they are – the decision-making, leadership, empathy, grieving and sentience that they showed was astonishing. The intrigue and connectivity we knew, along with the emotional scenes we witnessed was a compelling combination. It made us determined to tell their story.
‘The Elephant Queen’ Film
Further details
In partnership with the Kenya Institute if Curriculum Development (KICD), a series of 28 learn-to-read books based on the film’s wildlife characters and themes will be going into schools across the country.
This literacy initiative is part of the wider Outreach programme designed around ‘The Elephant Queen’ and supported by BESTSELLERยฎ Foundation.
As with the reading series, where authentic natural history is woven into engaging stories, a series of children’s plays, short videos and other outreach activities will inspire a new generation of Kenyan conservation leaders.
Mimi from ‘The Elephant Queen’ Film
The outreach materials will be hosted on www.elephant.co.ke and available after Easter.
‘The Elephant Queen’ has inspired audiences and made friends for Kenya wherever she has travelled – from the top international film festivals including Toronto and Sundance to cinema screens across the US.

Gospel artiste, Bahati has irked many Kenyans after publicly announcing his wedding plans for Diana Marua across his social media platforms.
The celebrity couple has been called out over time for making public, plans that instead should be ‘private’, with fans believing they are but chasing clout.
Diana Marua and Bahati
Just days after Diana hit the headlines for controversy regarding ‘petty theft’, Bahati burst the interwebs, announcing his wedding plans for the mother to his two children.
He put up a photo of his woman vowing:
Babe just after this Corona I promise to give you the Biggest/Baddest/Best Wedding that Africa has ever Witnessed โค Forever Myย #WCWย @Diana_Marua
Mrs Bahati
Unfortunately, this did not sit well with Kenyans who instead took the opportunity to expose Bahati’s ‘child-like’ behavior and disregard of the ongoing calamity in the country.
Wild reactions
mercy_ramsey_Tafuteni ufalme wa mbiguni the fame cannot take you anywhere
beryle.odhiambo Umekua kama Kenyan politicians manifesto mingi na miaka inasonga ,tangu u propose ni miaka ngapi??? Ama mtafanya double wedding na heaven akiwa mkubwa???

A day like today, 6 years back, gospel singer, Kambua’s father passed on but till date, she has not been able to heal nor come to terms with the loss.
A dad who fortunately saw her walk down the isle, 8 years back, as she wedded the love of her life, Pastor Mathu in church.
Unfortunately, 2 years into her marriage, with no child to hold nor call Kambua’s dad ‘grandfather’, the aging man bid the world goodbye.
Wedding girl, Kambua with her late dad, Prof Manundu
Loss
However, for the gospel singer, ‘grief’ is a multilayered term.
6 years ago today, my Father went to be with the Lord. It has taken me years to heal and fully come to terms with the loss. Grief is like unfamiliar, uncharted waters than no one can fully prepare you for. Grief is multilayered; just when you think it’s over, it reveals itself in a new light.
The now proud mother of one feels utterly disappointed that her dad never got to meet her stunning baby boy.
I have grieved the fact that he never got to meet my beautiful baby boy. I’ve grieved my fading memory, guilted myself for forgetting things I should remember about dad.
Kambua
Despite her drawbacks, there are memories and characteristics of her dad, that remain ingrained in her mind.
But I will never forget the sound of his booming laugh, nor the sparkle in his eyes, or the warmth of his hands… just as I will never forget how cold they were before he breathed his last
Mrs Mathu admits that she has battled accepting that both grief and hope can co-exist because for her, it just doesn’t seem to work out that easily.
It has taken me many years to accept and understand that both grief and my hope in Christ can indeed co-exist. And this hope in no way nullifies the pain- it gives it purpose
Gospel artist, Kambua
However, no human understands God’s ways and for Kambua, her father’s legacy is the most important item.
God writes our stories, and in Him nothing is lost. Our present pain and suffering is nothing compared to the glory that will be revealed in us.
I am grateful that my father’s legacy points to Jesus. Keep resting in glory my Papa. 09/04/2014. ????
Too much has been said about music artistes – who we appreciate – but it is now time to shift gear to our comedians.
Esteemed Kenyan comedian, Eric Omondi was not going to loose his trademark nor down his tools in the face of the hard-hitting novel Coronavirus.
Taking to his social media pages, the entertainer mimicked Health CS, Mutahi Kagwe’s daily briefings.
Kenya’s Health CS, Mutahi Kagwe
The Parody
It starts off by Eric walking towards the lectern with the necessary officials while discussing a couple of issues.
We hear him call one of the individuals on his left, donning a white coat, as ‘daktari’.
Eric addressed as ‘Mutai Kagi’ seems pretty frustrated by the current conditions around COVID-19 in Kenya.
Eric Omondi with his ‘team’ during his press briefing
‘Aaa.. good afternoon, sorry good morning..’ he opens his speech. He literally imitates the Health CS, not just in his words, but in his facial expressions and body movements as well.
Kenyans we have requested you to take personal responsibility and some of us clearly do not understand the density and seriousness of this epidemic or pandemic.
Making mistakes severally, calling out ‘disobedient’ and ‘ignorant’ Kenyans, it is easy to mistake the comedian for the Health CS – only difference is he is not officially dressed.
Eric Omondi’s press briefing
Case in point
It gets interesting when ‘Mutai Kagi’ mentions one such case of a Kenyan defying the government’s directives to stay at home and self-quarantine and it turns out, it is Eric Omondi.
The ‘disobedient’ individual takes up the names ‘Kevin Otieno’. Kevin looks pretty youthful, with his cap waved to the side, bling chain hanging on his neck and shrugging his shoulders.
Mr Mutai makes those silent poses in between his speech, just to emphasize on the seriousness of this disease.
Pretty disappointed, ‘CS Mutai’ bangs his pen on the lectern, at times folding his mouth before putting on that serious look.
Comedian, Eric Omondi
He takes two questions from the press before shedding light on the issue of lock down.
Lockdown here, lockdown there, and Kenyans have been demanding the government to give them a lockdown, daktari, yah? And I’ve seen it on the WhatsApp, I’ve seen it on the Internets of this world. On the Twitters. But the response of the government is one, the government is asking Kenyans ‘Tukiwapea lockdown, mtawezana?’
Mr Mutai folds his papers before walking away with his ‘team’ making fun of Kevin and his ability to engage 26 plus women in less than 48 hours.
Mixed reactions
This has left Kenyans cracking their ribs, at just how impeccably the comedian has perfected his skills.
Yesterday night, the 8th of April, Nyashinski treated his fans to an hour’s live band performance, compelling Kenyans to awake fellow sleeping giant, Juliani.
Despite the havoc Coronavirus has caused Kenyans and the world at large, famed boy band, Sauti Sol took up the challenge of treating Kenyans to a Live online performance on Instagram.
Sauti Sol
This opened doors for other artistes in the local music scene to get their gears on and pull creative works online as well.
Nyashinski
Kenyan rapper and singer, Nyashinski even raised the bar higher after his virtual Album Launch blew the Internet.
Legendary rapper, Nyashinski and his band during his virtual Album launch
His live concert yesternight was in a bid to provide a sneak peek into his upcoming solo album title ‘ Lucky You’.
Streaming live on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, the live event ran from an hour plus, as from 9:30 pm.
We know Nyashinski for his signature lyrical fashion and honestly, he staged a stellar performance.
Nyashinski during a perfomance
Right from his old-school hits like ‘Swing Swing’ to his recent comeback hits ‘Bebi Bebi’.
He additionally treated fans to couple of tracks on his new album, among them: Glory, Sweet Aroma (Traveler), G.O.A.T – whose video he dropped soon after his live concert – and Fathela which is an Acapella track.
Shinski’s ‘Lucky You’ album will be dropping come the 17th of April.
Juliani
With the pace already set in the booming local music industry, contemporary artistes like Juliani were not going to have it easy with fans.
Taking to Twitter, Kenyans warranted a live performance from the rapper as well.
Juliani
Juliani who is known for his star live performances since time immemorial, needed to scale up and give Kenyans a taste of his skills.
Indeed, seems like the push worked, with Juliani acknowledging that Nyashinski, had left nothing to chance during his live concert.
Juliani was the first Kenyan artiste to rock and actually kill it with a live band…so yea I agree 100, he would or can outdo him. I haven't watched that live gig.

Khaligraph Jones released his new jam “Roll with You” on the 7th of April, vowing to his wife that she is his ride or die.
The rapper asks that she takes him with her because she is the only person he wants to roll with and the only one he owes.
Papa Jones pledges that he will be everything she needs and never will leave her side.
Baby I just wanna roll with you, so take me baby lemme go with you, cause you be the one I owe it to. I’ll be everything you need, and I’m never gonna leave yah.
Khaligraph with lover, Georgina
Admitting that the first time he lay his eyes on her, he outrightly knew she was sent to him and her love for him is an assurance that this is their destiny.
And for that, she needs to flaunt a little so that the world can know. Promising her that they might not have been where she desired to be, but they will get there eventually.
However, he is willing to spend every penny on her because she deserves it all. Confessing that his love for her has made him partially blind.
Papa Jones
‘Whatever you wish for, lemme get it done’ he continues, ‘I’ve been searching for the longest, I almost gave up, I didn’t know I could find a girl as you who ready to ride’.
I promise to be by your side. And I love how you keeping it fly. Gon’ be with you till I die.
Rumors
He bashed the trolls that have been soiling his name, guaranteeing his girl that she is the only one he needs.
Before advising her to ignore the rumors and concentrate on the truth.
Alot of things have been said about me but wachana na watiaji.
Rapper, Khaligraph Jones
Khali goes ahead to assure his woman that for him, it is all work, trying to get the cash because there is no love without money.
But at the end of the day, she is the one he cherishes most.
‘That what I feel for you is real’ adding ‘there is no way I am lying’. Declaring that she is the only woman who kills his vibe.
Khaligraph’s wife, Georgina Muteti with their daughter
All because any time he needs a shoulder to lean on and is just about to give up, she is always there for him when ‘nobody was out there to care for him’.
So I’m gonna say cheerfully that you got a nigga who ready to treat you carefully.
In whatever language she will understand best, he will say it.
Disclosing that it is time he took her to his parents’ home in Bondo and officially introduce her as his beloved wife.
Khaligraph Jones with his wife and their daughter
Eyes so enticing, it gets the better of him and how she has stuck by his side, has forced him to go ahead and put the crown on her.
Check out Khaligraph’s solemn dedication to his wife and mother to his child, Georgina, below.
