Jalang’o and Alex Mwakideu went on air together on Milele FM sometimes in August 2018. The two presenters reunited after a year apart.
Mwakideu and Jalas have chemistry on radio having worked together for four long years on Radio Maisha before they ‘broke up’ in 2017, when Jalas joined Hot 96 as Mwakideu remained at Radio Maisha.

Jalang’o and Alex Mwakideu
Promotion
Mwakideu has been appointed Head of Radio Milele FM just four months after joining the station. A colleague Joyce Gituro confirmed the appointment when she sent him a congratulatory message via Instagram.
“Congratulations, Alex Mwakideu Head of Radio and Ngunjiri, Deputy Head of Radio on your new roles. May God guide your every step. Together let’s take Milele FM higher,” wrote Joyce Gituro.
In his post Jalang’o confesses father Onyango from St. Paul Catholic Church had inspired his dreams and he was ready to follow in his footsteps; however his dad couldn’t hear none of that.
Back then St. Paul Catholic church Homabay serving God diligently…I am seated in the left of Father Onyango who had then inspired me to be a priest…
Jalang’o’s dad’s reaction
Having been brought up in a Protestant family, seems like Jalango was the only Catholic. For this reason his dad couldn’t help but challenge him. Jalang’o went on to say;
when I later told my father that I wanted to be a priest he told me to point one person in our larger family who is Catholic…I was the only catholic in the entire family…
With that dream left in the past Jalang’o says that he has been absent from church for a long time; and is now looking for a new community church to be attending on Sunday’s.
I have been baptized twice at Church of Christ in Africa which is our family church and also in Catholic my church. Nowadays I don’t have a church I attend any church any given Sunday but now I want to join a good community and a church. It’s been a long journey see our bare feet…no shoes! #GodWins.
Milele FM Radio host Jalang’o has opened up on the emotional day he got his first big job on radio.
According the comedian who is now one of the best paid in Kenya, he got the job and before he could actually celebrate, he received another from his mum breaking the sad news to him that his father had died.
“When my dad died he told me one thing, I have a letter from my dad before he died because I could not even afford to go bury my dad when he died. The same day I got my very first gig at Kiss 100 is the same day my dad died. Caroline called me and told me Jalang’o you are replacing Nyambane when she hung up my mom called and told me your dad is gone. That’s how sad it was for me,” he narrated.
Missed opportunities
Recently, Jalango also confessed that he was chased away from Maseno High School due to lack of fee. This made his dad break down to tears after his son missed a chance to join one of the best National schools in Kenya.
Jalang’o was a bright student, he scored 442 marks when he sat for Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and received a letter to join Maseno school.
The comedian however didn’t join the prestigious national school, his father struggled to raise his school fees and by the time he got the money it was too late.
“Maseno school…let me tell you a short story…When I sat for my KCPE I got a chance at Maseno school by luck because with 442 Marks I think I was lucky…I was soo happy just like everyone because a chance at Maseno school was all you needed! This dream was not to be! School fees was nowhere! My dad ( God Rest hi soul in peace) organised several fund drives and by the time he was getting the money I was two weeks late from reporting day!” Wrote Jalang’o in part.
Father cries
Jalang’o says his father earnestly pleaded with Maseno school principal to admit him to the school but he blatantly declined. The comedian says his father was heartbroken and couldn’t hold his tears back.
“My chance was gone! We walked with my dad out of the school after hours of pleading to be allowed in, the principal refused! I had never seen my dad cry but that day we cried together! We walked to the main road got in a Marathi and went home! I later joined form one in a different school but with Maseno school uniform because my old man could not afford another pair! So for the whole of form one I was in a different uniform in a different school…to cut the long story short, today I was at Mseno school advising and giving wisdom to their class of 2018!
Once again GOD WINS!”
Comedian Jalang’o has been hoping around radio stations lately, with Milele FM being his latest home. At Milele, the comedian rejoined his friend Alex Mwakideu who he worked with at Radio Maisha before he ditched him for Hot 96.
Jalas recently opened up on why he ditched the station and his friend behind saying money came in between them. The offer was so sweet that Jalango had to leave.
Blame money
“What happened is when I left Maisha and he stayed there we only left the Maisha we did not leave the friendship.” he said.
“So I think if there is one person I hang out with is still Alex even when we were apart and guys kept on asking now you guys why are you lying to us that you are not together anymore you need to get yourselves back here. But anyway my reason for leaving Alex was very very simple. It was money. So I went somewhere where I was needed not where I was loved,” he stated.
Jalang’o and Alex Mwakideu have rekindled their chemistry on radio and they are already going for the top spot – Kenya’s most trendy morning show.
Jalas and Mwakidau reunited after a year, they worked together at Radio Maisha for four long years before Jalas quit to started a new show on Hot 96 together with Jeff Koinange.

Milele FM it is

Jalang’o and Alex Mwakideu
“You know Alex and I worked together for along time and we bonded well then we parted ways..we are soon going on air together again so for us to see if the bond is still there @trippygotours Have organised for us a short bonding holiday! Keep it here! #AlexNaJalas On air soon!” Wrote Jalas.
Jalang’o and Alex Mwakideu are seen rehearsing for their show in a video uploaded on Instagram;
Jeff Koinange and Jalang’o have chemistry having worked together for over a year now. ‘Jeff And Jalas On Hot 96’ is arguably the biggest breakfast show in Kenya.
But on July 12th Jeff and Jalang’o had a serious squabble on air that almost resulted to a fist fight. The two were discussing the recent spate of violence and arson at secondary schools across Kenya.
School fires
Jalang’o argued that violence and arson could be justified under certain circumstances but Jeff insisted the whole idea of burning schools was just totally stupid.
Jeff went on to repeatedly call Jalas stupid and he got offended by the slur. Jalas changed mood and warned Jeff against insulting him.
Jalas: No single day did we ever burn school because we feared exam
Jeff: Because you are stupid
Jalas: No, don’t use that word on me again. That’s the last time
(Jeff clicks his tongue)
Jalas: Don’t click by the way
Jeff: What? (clicks his tongue again)
Jalas: (Angrily) Jeff!!
The tension was eased after someone called to contribute to the topic. Watch how the whole drama unfolded in the video below:
In a rather interesting twist, comedian Jalango got a chance to meet former US President Barrack Obama this week and it all started from a joke.
The comedian, who we all know jokes around a lot, explained how he landed the lucrative opportunity to MC for one of the most powerful men in the world while in he was in Kogelo recently.
“One morning on Hot 96, the news of Obama coming to town was all over so I told Jeff you know that when Obama comes to town I will be the MC as a joke. And I went on Youtube and told people about how I will do it, ” said Jalas in an interview on Citizen TV.
Jalang’o met Obama in the event
Luck
He went on to add that a team from Gina Din who were part of the organisers watched the video and called him asking him to show up for the job.
“Then the team from Gina Din watched the video and they called me. Lorna Irungu told me that ‘do you know some dreams come true. Guess who the MC for Obama is?’ Jalango said he was not aware. You are the MC. You just don’t wake up and be the MC for Obama. It is a long process. We had at least six meeting and plus a rehearsal. My phone for the past I don’t know how many days I could not just talk to you,” Jalas said.
Hours after Alex Mwakideu resigned at Radio Maisha, the presenter took to social media to blast the station after he noticed they’re still using his image to promote the morning show he used to host.
On Instagram, he attacked the station asking them to leave his photo out of their campaign because he’s not part of the team any more.
“This is wrong. Jana tu we were “celebrating” the 8 years of my career at the Standard Group as a Radio Presenter of the Morning Show. Today even after resigning and being given my acceptance letter in good faith munaniweka hapa! @radiomaisha @tjapanni kindly dont use my face,” read Alex Mwakideu’s tweet.
Left the station
The radio presenter who has been working with the Standard Media Group for eight years announced his departure on social media.
“It’s been 8 awesome years and I will miss Radio Maisha. I will always remember ‘kuanzia’ the first day when we launched this radio station during my first show. It’s been a good ride! Let me say a huge ahsante to the entire team of Radio Maisha and the Standard Media Group,” the message read.
Jalang’o spent quality time with Betty Kyallo at her spa in Kilimani over the past weekend. The two were seen goofing around at the spa in a video uploaded on social media.
Betty challenged Jalang’o for an arm wrestling contest. The KTN anchor however used dirty tricks to win the contest with Jalang’o.

Free or paid marketing?
Jalang’o also marketed Betty Kyallo’s spa after the fun moments. He called on ladies to go for beauty treatment at Flair by Betty.
“Out here supporting my home girl @bettymuteikyallo. Ladies…If you know you know that @flairbybetty is the saloon!” wrote Jalango.
A few days ago Jalang’o went HAM on gospel musicians accusing them of dropping songs that have no message whatsoever to Christian faithful.
The comedian called out Ringtone, Bahati, Willy Paul and several other gospel musicians for corrupting the gospel music industry with secular-ish songs and unnecessary dramas.
“They no longer mention God in their songs. Mungu anatajwa tu kama producer. Come back and start doing real gospel music with content,” said Jalas in part.
Every song has a message
Size 8 has since responded to Jalango’s critique. She said the comedian shouldn’t judge the whole gospel industry with a few songs, she went on to explain the messages in a few gospel songs.
Size 8
“Jalang’o should not judge people with a few songs because ours is the biggest music industry, and I believe every song has a message. Everyone sings differently, thus it would be wrong to judge them with their content. Like the new Daddy Owen song, Donjo, is just a way of saying he is enjoying life in Christ. Kula Neno is the word of God, meaning read the word of God. I think the problem is the understanding by people and not the song or perhaps the delivery. But from someone who reads the word, they will understand what every artiste means with their song,” Size 8 said during an interview with Word Is.
Jalang’o and Susan Kaittany shared the stage over the past weekend to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ATS Travel Agency’s presence in travel and tours business.

Jalang’o is overtly obsessed with shoes. The comedian’s undying urge to buy shoes has something to do with his childhood experience.

The best he could afford then was akala (sandals made out of vehicle’s tyre). Jalango is now compensating for what he lacked in his childhood by buying thousands of shoes.
One shoe a day for 8 years
Jalango buys at least four pairs of shoes in a week, currently has 3,212 pairs of shoe. The comedian can wear one pair of shoes each day for the next eight years without repeating a single pair.
“My love for shoes started when I joined Form One. My dad had fund raised to take me to school and that’s when he got me my first pair of shoes. I’m just compensating for the years I never had shoes. Currently, I have 3,212 pairs of shoe. In a good week I can buy as many as four pairs of shoes,” says Jalang’o.
Jalang’o is in his last five years on radio. The Hot 96 presenter is prepping himself to quit his illustrious career in radio and ultimately join politics.

2019 the game changer
Jalang’o says everyone will know when he finally graduates from university in 2019. The 35-year-old will have a grand celebration because the degree will be the final hurdle for him to vie for MP.
“I am graduating in 2019, it will be lit for days. The day I graduate this town will not sleep. I have achieved all these (success) without having a degree, imagine what am about to do once I get it,” said Jalang’o.
