Heads Up! Kenya Met Department Warns Of Wet & Windy Weekend

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Get ready for a wet and windy weekend across much of Kenya, with heavy rainfall expected in the Central Highlands, including Nairobi, Western Kenya, the Lake Victoria Basin, and the Rift Valley regions. These downpours could lead to flooding, waterlogged roads, and disruptions to travel plans.

The rain is expected to persist throughout the weekend, and residents in these areas should be on high alert. Don’t wait until Monday! Northwestern Kenya can also expect showers starting May 20th, with a chance of heavy bursts that could cause similar issues.

But that’s not all! Strong southerly and southeasterly winds exceeding 25 knots (45 mph) are forecast for the eastern half of the country and the northwest. These winds pose a safety risk, potentially bringing down branches, blowing debris, and creating other hazards, especially in open and elevated areas.

Stay Safe this Weekend

The Kenya Meteorological Department has issued important safety tips to help you navigate the wet and windy conditions:

  • Secure any loose outdoor items to prevent them from becoming projectiles in the wind.
  • Avoid open areas during peak wind times to minimize the risk of injury.
  • Stay informed! Regularly check weather updates and advisories from reliable sources like the Kenya Meteorological Department.

For those living in flood-prone areas, be extra vigilant and prepared to move to higher ground if necessary. It’s also a good idea to clear drainage systems around your home to prevent waterlogging and have emergency supplies readily available.

Pastor Kanyari Throws Shade At Kikuyu Men For Not Taking Up Responsibility

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

A video featuring Kenyan pastor Kanyari’s views on single mothers in Kenya has gone viral.

In the video, Kanyari links a high number of single mothers to a specific ethnicity (Kikuyu) and suggests financial irresponsibility as a cause.

It’s important to address the limitations of Kanyari’s claims. Single parenthood in Kenya likely stems from various factors, and attributing it solely to ethnicity or spending habits is inaccurate. National statistics or research studies would provide a more complete picture.

The video also mentions single mothers raising children without fathers due to divorce or separation. This is a growing trend worldwide, not limited to a specific Kenyan community.

But Kanyari has put Kikuyus on the spotlight over the latter.

“Single mothers wengi Kenya ni Wakikuyu, and this is because Kikuyu men are very stingy and don’t want to take responsibility for what’s theirs.”

Co-parenting arrangements are becoming more common as couples choose to raise children separately for various reasons, including safety concerns or differing life goals.

While Kanyari believes Kikuyus should up their game, it’s not the only tribe that has faced challenges when it comes to raising children.

As a matter of fact, most people nowadays opt to go for co-parenting rather than staying with each other.

Pastor James Wanjohi Denies Defrauding 4,000 People Money Worth Ksh 600 Million

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

James Wanjohi, accused of defrauding thousands in a Ksh 600 million job scam, has denied all allegations.

Wanjohi claims he hasn’t been a preacher for two years and suggests his political rivals fabricated the “pastor” label to discredit him. He maintains his innocence and says he’s been following the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on social media, with no official warrant for his arrest.

Wanjohi suggests his competitors orchestrated the entire scheme to damage his reputation. He claims the accusations, including the alleged number of victims and stolen money, were designed to make him appear as hateful and untrustworthy as possible.

Kenyans Curious As Video Of TV Girl Gladys Mungai Enjoying ‘Presidential Treatment’ Emerges

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

For the longest time we have had kenyans link female journalists to politicians and well….its kinda true especially after we all heard about that story where a certain politician repossessed a posh car he had gifted a popular female journalist…..just because the relationship was now over.

It happens and has been happening for the longest time which is why one Gladys Mungai has many on her page pointing finger after a photo she shared boarding a car believed to be belong to the kenyan government.

Of course there are those who quickly assumed she had bagged a new role in the new government since she captioned her post;

President treatment

Keep guessing

And well…there are those who assumed she now has a politician boyfriend funding her lifestyle. Well – I want to believe its a job because why else would she share such a post if she’s really seeing a politician, right? Not forgettinf how blogs dig into such stories.

Well speaking about this to a renowned blog, Gladys Mungai not only refused to share any details on whether she had bagged a prominent man or if its a new job opportunity she had been offered hence a ride in the government vehicle.

Truth is…whether a relationship or a job – we will still find out….maybe not now but definitely soon.

Edday Nderitu proves she is still in love with Samidoh despite his many affairs

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Aki mapenzi wewe…..this is literally one of the most over used lines by kenyans complaining about love but this time around, I am using it to show you that once youre in love – you fall so hard that you overlook your partners imperfections.

Don’t believe it? Well lets use Edday and Samidoh’s situation. As you already know – these two were said to have some marital issues after Samidoh was linked to Karen Nyamu….and although we all knew what was going on, Samidoh for some reason decided to impress his first wife Edday Nderitu – by publicly denying Karen Nyamu as he claimed he only has one wife.

Samidoh wildling with wife, Edday

This was however just after their (Samidoh and Karen) first child…and barely 6 months after denying her in public; Karen Nyamu came out to reveal that they were expecying baby number two. Yes, baby number 2 with a man that had just publicly denied her….and as for Edday – well i bet she just felt used or played by Samidoh…..but funny thing is – she stuck around.

Edday commitment to Samidoh

At this point i am left wondering is that Edday Nderitu cant get someone new or is that she is willing to put up with everything in the name of love….and that might just be it.

You know why, well despite her co wife Karen Nyamu jetting all the way to visit Samidoh in the Yuwes….and making sure Edday Nderitu was aware of the story through blogs – mmmmh Eddatmy Nderitu remains unmoved and her feelings for Samidoh unchanged.

The first wife made this known through a new comment she made while respoding to a post shared by their family friend, Bernice Saroni where she wrote;

It was an amazing 6 weeks tour full of fun and Adventures, thank you Waweru Uyu, for keeping us in check. Samidoh, it was great working with you, your such a vibe. All the best in UK and Dubai shows, Edday Nderitu your husband has been in safe hands, See you in Dubai on the 17th yacht party tufunge hii kitu

And to prove her love for hubby, Edday responded with;

Which I am pretty sure Karen Nyamu already saw….but having seen how she (Karenzo) responds to shade…..cant help but wonder which house Samidoh will be spending his first night after returning to Kenya.

I think y’all already know too.

Tanasha Donna thinking she dumped Diamond Platnumz is just hilarious

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Tanasha Donna is very attractive and I can tell that when she enters a room – her presences is noticed immediately but even with all that fineness; Diamond Platnumz couldn’t find a reason to chase her after she decided to come back to Kenya.

Diamond Platnumz replaces Donna with look alike

From what I remember is that Diamond Platnumz moved on as if nothing happened; and Tanasha having left his home made her feel like she had dumped the WCB CEO who we all know likes to trigger his women into leaving by starting affairs around.

Rumor had it back then that just like Wema Sepetu, Zari Hassan and Hamisa Mobetto – Diamond Platnumz handled Tanasha Donna the same way by replacing her with Patricia Aika Matthyse who is producer ‘P Funk’ Majani’s daughter.

Well, with the photo shared above – i guess its only fair to see that inorder for Dimaond Platnumz to get rid of Tanasha – he had to cheat with someone of her caliber (in terms of looks) and Tanasha being one with a big ego….she left in such a mess that her Prado was repossessed by Diamond Platnumz.

Polygamist

Again we also heard that Tanasha Donna was ready to marry Diamond Platnumz to a point she converted into Islam (Bi Aisha) but the funny bit is that she wasn’t ready to share him – knowing very well that Muslim men are allowed to marry upto 4 wives.

 

And Diamond Platnumz having bagged another finer girlfriend to the picture….is the reason our Kenyan girl continues to feel like she left Diamond Platnumz hurting but her case is no different with….if you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Samidoh may have lost his parents but their memory remains fresh in his mind because they raised him to become a man of substance and ome that values what family means.

Kikuyu Benga musician Samidoh

Well, just like you and I have faults…so does he but then again this does not define who he is. Anyway for those who dont know, Samidoh lost his father (a policeman) who was caught in tribal clashes a few years back and later on lost his mum – leaving him and his 5 siblings as orphans.

Speaking about his parents death a while back, the celebrated Mugithii singer said;

Also read;

I was born in a family of 6, we are 6 boys and I’m the third born. Mama alikuwa anaitwa Miriam Wairimu lakini alituacha. Na Mzee alikuwa anaitwa Michael Ndirangu. He was an Administration Police (AP) Officer. He worked in Nakuru and Molo na alikufa ile time ya clashes. Huwa naskia hizi vita za kikabila roho yangu inachafuka juu ziliniacha bila baba.

Remembering his mum

Despite it being years since he lost his parents – Samidoh still remembers them. To celebrate his late mum, Samidoh recently shared a Tbt photo to which he wrote;

Samidoh’s late mum, Miriam Wairimu

Wherever u are,wherever i will Go you will remain my source of inspiration!!

He went further to reveal that if not for her, he wouldn’t be the man he is today. He also mourned her for leaving them too early…but this being the will of God he now has two daughters named after her.

I am Because you were!.
#Maituwairimu Nikio ndaguciarire na ngiguciara ringi!

Karen Nyamu on the other hand left a comment below the post saying;

 She raised a kind hearted man, and that’s her legacy. Tu wairimu tukamutukia (The Wairimu’s will take after her.)

 

Mungai Eve narrates how she found out she was a side chick

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Mungai Eve is undeniably doing great things in the entertainment industry and at 22 years – the lass has achieved so much that she’s able to give both herself and boyfriend, director Trevor a life they never thought they’d achieve or rather live.

Speaking to Jackie Matubia on recent interview, Mungai Eve opened up for the first time on how she met her bae, Trevor back in 2019 and how they came to be an item.

Well – according to Mungai Eve she met Trevor during a photoshoot in Thika and funny thing he had already noticed her – and him being too excited he ended whispering to Mungai’s friend’s (Bella) saying;

Ati huyo dame(Mungai Eve) anakaa fiti, naeza mdishi

And although it sounds….ish ish…she somehow got drawn to him; and just like that their journery began as friends since they were both seeing other people.

Friendship morphs to a fullblown relationship

However with time their other relationships started to fail and since Trevor had already mentioned he was facing too many issues he eventually broke up with the lady…and like an answered prayer he was now single.

At the time Mungai Eve says she was facing some character development from a man she thought she was dating; only to find out he has a baby mama living with him – meaning the whole time she thought she was the main…turns out she was the side piece.

However no regrets…with her single and Trevor single they finally had the freedom to date.
