OPEN LETTER TO NANA GECAGA, UHURU’S NIECE
Dear Nana,

I have read your story of trying to find true and genuine love, and your attempts have always hit the rocks, you claim that men are not genuine because they are only interested in your status, wealth and connection. This is very true, imagine in a country where grown men share a cigarette that goes for 3/=, where two people buy supu ya mifupa, a cup is 10/= then share, just imagine if you meet such people as your potential lovers, what would you expect? Of course they will want you to uplift their status so that they can be “Humans” first, then they become potential lovers.

In the next paragraph, I am going to give you a step by step plan on how you will get a genuine lover, I also understand that you have three kids, and men don’t like to marry a woman with a child/kid, not children/kids, that bit I will not help you how to go about it, but I have two friends who are my competition on matters touching women, I hope they will help you on that bit, their names are Thiong’o Wa Gichuhi and Frank Mungai.

My big sister, do this, go to a low end estate in Eastlands and rent an apartment, a place like Umoja Estate is better, avoid Dandora and Kayole, the rent their for some decent house is between 12,000 to 15,000, monthly, start living there, strictly avoid a car, men get intimidated by females who drive, avoid and avoid and if you must drive, buy a very cheap second hand car that will be breaking down after like 3 days of taking it to a mechanic, but but using Matatu is a better way, the word Matatu means a vehicle that carries people from one point to the next, like it will fetch you from Umoja to CBD then you part with something small like 30/- or 50/-, the word Matatu was coined by travellers in the 1970s because bus fare from those days was shilingi tatu, so the word Matatu was conceived, you see madam, I am now teaching you how hustlers live, wachana hio ya Ruto, huyo sio hustler kabisaa, he is an ex hustler a fossil hustler turned richer than average Kenyatta grand children like you.

You see my sister, average men will start approaching you for dates, let them be deciding the venue of the date, because if it is you deciding you might mess and mention places like Windsor Golf Hotel, Serena, Karamel and so on, men hate such places, hata mwanaumme akikwambia muende Uhuru Park wewe kubali tu. One thing to avoid, don’t mention that you are related to Uhuru Kenyatta, don’t tell them you are CEO of KICC, try to live a lie, lie and lie,don’t tell them that you went to a college in London or a University in Germany, they will run away, waambie ulikuwa KU or just say you have a Diploma in business administration, or Certificate in Secretarial Studies. Be calm always, let them pay all the bills, men love being superior, don’t show them that you can drink a Muzinga of Whisky alone, No, be moderate, at least show them that you drink Mango Juice……………That way, you will get a genuine lover, slowly by slowly you will begin to mould him into a man that you want, then with time, you will elevate him from his poverty salary of 50,000- 80,000 per month to a reasonable pay, you will emancipate him from poverty. Of course you will have him for a period of may be 3 to 5 years, but he is likely to run away to his poverty kind of women again because training an old dog new tricks is an uphill task- see even that a son of a begger turned bishop run yet he was London educated … To be honest stick to the rich club, see even our very poor women are also stranded, nothing to do with your education or miseducation of Kenyatta wealth, its just you and your gods….

The post Letter To Nana Gecaga, Uhuru’s Niece Searching For True Love, Bishop Wanjiru Son ‘Conned’ Her appeared first on Kenya Today.

Adan Kassim Olow,a former Security guard at Retna Apartments at the junction of Gitanga and Vanga roads was President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ‘watchie’ years before he joined politics.

And he has told of a light-skinned damsel with flowing hair who was a frequent visitor to the apartment.

That was 30 years ago when Adan,now 59, used to open and close the gate for Uhuru who was just like any other tenant in Lavington Nairobi.

Adan got to know who Uhuru was when his mother, First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta came knocking at the gate one evening in 1986.

Adan declined to open the gate, insisting he had not been notified about the impromptu visit. He nevertheless went upstairs, alerted Uhuru who reported to the gate where he peeped through the opening and was jolted at the sight of his mother’s car.

“He quickly opened the gate. It was such a surprise, this was unlike other tenants,” recalls Adan, then a callow 27-year-old. He adds that after pleasantries, Uhuru and his mother went upstairs where she spent an hour with her son.

It was long after she had left that Uhuru called and told a dumbfounded Adan: “That is Mama Ngina, my mother. Whenever she comes, allow her in.”

Uhuru then drew out a pen and scribbled on a piece of paper, which he handed over to Adan who recalls that “it had three names: Mama Ngina, George Muhoho and Ngengi Muigai.”

“Never keep these three waiting at the gate. But as for the young boys, I will be dealing with them personally,” Uhuru instructed the Class Six dropout who has lived in Kawangware since 1981.

The ‘young boys’ were Uhuru’s social buddies. Adan remembers Uhuru the tenant as a generous man since “akipita hapo kwa gate, yeye alikua nawachia mimi kitu kidogo.”

The frequent light-skinned guest later became his wife and current First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.

Uhuru and the father of 10 became so close that the future president got a liking to him and his stories relating to members of the Somali community living in Isiolo, Marsabit, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera and Moyale.

The journey to being a security guard began when Adan dropped out of primary school due to lack of school fee and fled to Nairobi in 1981 to escape coercion from his uncles to become a herder back home in Garissa.

He landed a job as a security guard at a construction site at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). Five years later, he got a similar job in Lavington, where an Asian developer was putting up residential apartments, where Uhuru became among the first occupants.

“Mwanzoni mimi akujua huyu kijana ni mtoto ya rais,” recalls Adan, who worked there for two years before joining the Somali embassy as a messenger up to 1995, when it closed following political turmoil in Mogadishu.

Adan retired in 2012 to union activities, which was how four years later, he visited State House Nairobi as part of KNPSWU’s 4,000-strong delegation of guards.

Later, Uhuru instructed Interior CS, the late Joseph Nkaissery, head of public service Joseph Kinyua, former State House Comptroller Lawrence Lenayapa and State House Spokesperson Manoah Esipisu to assist his old pal.

He is still patiently waiting for that assistance.

Is it a month of love? no its not February. After former NTV journalist Peter mwangangi tying the not in Machakos, vocal Emurua Dikirr MP killed the rumors in the air by quiting the bachelor’s club.
Things came to a standstill in Narok county on Saturday as Emurua Dikirr MP Johanna Ng’eno finally decided to promote himself to the next league from bachelor’s group.

The vocal MP has been the butt of jokes within the corridors of parliament due to his bachelorhood despite having accomplished a few things in life.

Deputy President William Ruto chats with the newly-wedded couple Hon Johana Ngeno and his wife Nayianoi Ntutu at their wedding ceremony in Narok County on August 18, 2018. PHOTO/DPPS

To start with, it left many wondering how he won the seat of an MP as a bachelor in a society where it is believed a family is the smallest political unit.

One elder once asked an unmarried aspirant how he expected to convince voters to vote for him if he had failed to convince a girl to accept his marriage proposal.
The 45-year-old Kanu MP who is serving a second term in parliament crossed the bridge to the married club at a ceremony full of pomp and colour at Emurua Dikirr Secondary School just a short distance from his home.

People from all walks of life led by Deputy President William Ruto and Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga arrived at the function aboard helicopters, sports utility vehicles, matatus, motorcycles and hundreds others trekked to the venue to witness what could be dubbed as the wedding of the year.

Political differences were pushed to the back burner with laughter taking over as leaders, friends and family members of the outspoken MP took pot shots at him over the long period he took before finally settling down.
How Ng’eno overcame this societal challenge is only a story he can tell.

But just like he won the hearts of the electorates, the 45-year-old MP won the heart of a cute Maasai girl and they walked down the aisle on August 18.

It was one of the latest glamorous weddings which was attended by both the hoi polloi and the who-is-who in the playbook that is Kenya.

Here are photos of his big day which was graced by even political rivals.

After days of disagreement and months of love, Kenyan socialite Vera Sidika has explained why she went low to have Singer Otile Brown despite many seeing that she deserved a more wealthier person.
By now, you are aware that Vera Sidika and Otile Brown aren’t an item anymore. They’ve been flaunting their love for each other on social media a number of times. Otile has even invited her on stage while performing at Koroga Festival.

Well, many people thought they were not a perfect match, but that has not stopped them from doing their thing.

One of Vera’s followers on social media told her that she deserves better and dating Otile is bringing her class down as he’s not her perfect much, considering she’s a boss lady.

She went ahead and replied to the lady, telling her, “Who said dating a billionaire makes you a boss? Nah. It makes you a gold digger if wealth and status is what you value. Success isn’t sexually transmitted. If you’re an independent woman, you’d go for what the heart wants, not the wallet.”

Vera continued, stating that there’s no point of being in a relationship with someone who is rich yet you feel sad and empty.
“There’s so many rich, successful single women who r sad as fuck!!!! Sometimes we think money is everything, until we realize it’s nothing. What’s the point of marrying wealth when you still feel empty & sad? Sometimes we deny ourselves real love cause of lust & hunger for material things….Then when you get the money. You actually realize you missing something the true meaning of life. Happiness. Love. Care. Attention. Someone to rub your back when tired from work, someone to always remind you how beautiful you are. That cute kiss on the forehead Every morning….

In a really long letter, Vera took her precious time to express how much she loved Otile.

She revealed, “I loved him wholeheartedly thinking he was in this relationship out of love he portrayed but I guess I was wrong. I would never involve someone’s heart if I need something from them. we are adults and can always come to mutual agreements it we need help here and there.”

Well, Otile has not been left behind as he too took to social media to pen down a long response and his side of the story, because he felt the hate was too much.
He stated that Vera is playing victim and she’s trying to eradicate his career because he has a large female following.

“Waaah the hate is too much. Just because somebody is quiet doesn’t mean they’re guilty , am just trying to handle the entire issue as a grown up ..I promised my self that I won’t respond to the allegations until I realised just now that this was a mission to eradicate my career by making women hate me coz most of my following are women and yeah she’s succeeding..Shes playing victim and it’s unbelievable coz just a day before her posts we had a proper meeting and concluded everything as grown ups coz the relationship wasn’t working for me.”

Otile went on to state that Vera did something that really turned him off and afterwards, the relationship was not the same and with time he could feel the distance between them.

Have you ever wondered why most side chicks are successful? anyway Top Kenyan socialite Vera Sidika said that success isn’t sexually transmitted but who can argue with her? maybe Otile Brown for many reasons.
look at the wives of the presidents, they were once side chicks, hey i don’t mean all but lets start with Zimbabwe. the former president’s wife was a side chick, i dont know if you have drawn your context in your environment? maybe even a governor around climbed the ladder through that, hehehe or even you reading this is successful through this, you are given mad love but do you give mad love? in my class f broadcast journalism we analysed alot on this with colleagues and even mentioned names and found that its a fact…anyway tell me that in the comment section.

You can’t help but secretly drool from the other end of the room with your up-tight girlfriend hooked onto you like a peg. Sober like she just woke up. You wished you hadn’t brought her. She is so focused with both your lives and now you guys look like a 20th year anniversary couple who think alcohol is for losers and smokers are just dead men walking. So she prefers both of you taking Apple juice. Rules are meant to be broken, so you sneak out once in a while to slightly abuse those drugs. You need it because she is so up- tight it scares you that your boys might think she is your nanny.

You must have her, you vow to Kiarie, and being your boy, he automatically is your wing man and you both try to get rid of the girlfriend issue before proceeding to mission number two. You buy her sticks of mshikaki from Timo hapo outside bottoms up. And she feasts on them. You buy her more sticks with large chunks of meat like you trying to make her blackout on intoxication of meat. You just want her to grow fat so fast and go home. Kiarie goes by the script and suggests that it’s getting late and you should probably take your mama to sleep. You play along and agree with Kiarie. You even start complaining that it’s getting too cold. The happy-go-lucky bird gives in and you walk her home, tuck her in bed, peck her goodnight and you are off to hunt.

Back in the bar, Kiarie is keeping an eye on your prey for you. ‘wingmanning’. He does it so good. If only it was a career, you thought. He looked so comfortable with her. She is actually laughing at his jokes! How? Kiarie is not so interesting, how does he get along with all beautiful mamas like this, you wonder.

So you walk towards them and join in the conversation. Kiarie introduces you to Nyokabi, chats on for a while and off he goes. His work is done.

You both laugh aloud at a joke you made and probably have conversation based on opinions on first world problems. You talk about Airtel promotions and how those guys must be making more loses than profits with being too generous. You both complain at how the government is increasing taxes and stealing from wananchi. Tsk! Like you pay taxes. You are even clueless about the rates. Those extreme ‘avenues’ people use to make conversation. Ati politics! All you know about politics is that there is a minister who introduced Alco-blows and she on the other end, all she knows is Julie Gichuru’s Peruvian weave. For a moment there, you would see that she was so convinced that Uhuru was not president. But since both of you are spitting random self-based facts, why not just keep up with the conversation.

The night is still young, you brainstorm on what to do and while at it, you ‘close’. She invites you over to her place and the night becomes INTERESTING. Christmas just came early for you.

You wake at dawn and off you go. Back to your woman.
You crave her in the middle of the week and all you have to do is make a phone call and Nyokabi is all in. She is interesting, you have never met a lady who asks for as little as she does. She needs no attention, never asks for some ‘me-time’ and takes really good care of herself. You don’t lay in bed and blab about your feelings all day. Let alone emotions, it’s been three months, you still don’t know her first name. You even do not know if Nyokabi is her real name. She knows you are in a stable relationship with `that girl’ so she knows how to stay in her lane. She knows all the rules of the game.

See Also: 21 things you should never lose
She plays along to your music and loves to keep real low. You no longer need a lock up on your phone because clearly she doesn’t care enough to snoop. She obviously won’t be on your page looking for pictures you liked and other pretty mama’s that you follow. And you sit and wish life was as easy as Nyokabi.

You start being creative with the excuses you give your main lady. You even ‘kill’ your boy, Kiarie. Ati “Kiarie just got an accident, he died, that why I came home late” Kiki is probably somewhere giving a lucky bustard a chance at love, wing man.

You know how women become dirty cops in situations like this. You get trapped by your own words. And now she is screaming at your face begging you to confess. She obviously does not suspect Nyokabi. She even does not know Nyokabi. So she makes up some story of some mama who digs you. You cannot accept and neither can you deny. Both answers could get you killed.

And you get caught. When you did not fall at her knees and apologize, she stalked out the front door and slammed it. You probably follow her and try to explain. It takes a while but its working your way. You are so convinced that she is convinced. You Lay low and act like love birds for a couple of days, strategy. Things go back to normal and Nyokabi is your new normal.

Your random escapades become frequent and it begins to get boring. You probably now miss your lady now and you are tired of sneaking around, you need a boring life immediately. And though Nyokabi clearly enjoyed her time with you, you are already finding the ‘Christmas’ a little stale. If she broke up with you now, it would only save you the trouble of doing it yourself. So you call it quits. Now the crazy in her just walked out of the tomb. She is stalking you like a wild dog. She keeps on calling and texting to get your attention. She wants you and can’t stand the fact that you left. Your lady finds out and this time she leaves for good. Nyokabi plays her games and when she is fed up, she walks up to you in one of those happy days you are at, then she breaks the ‘baby- daddy’ news, and she already named him after your old man. How worse can this get? Case dismissed!

Trade unionist Francis Atwoli’s second wife Roselinda Atwoli has accused him of forcibly evicting her and their 13-year-old son from their Kileleshwa home in Nairobi.

She narrated how a visit to see their son on Tuesday evening degenerated into a furious exchange of words, culminating in her being forced out of the house together with the boy at 7pm. The two acquired the apartment in 2006.

Roselinda said she visited her son whom Atwoli had taken away in January on the advice of Fida. She vied for and lost the Webuye West parliamentary seat in the last General Election.

Atwoli yesterday said he allowed Roselinda to come and visit but she overstayed her welcome.

He said he has never denied her access to the son and that she is free to visit and even go out with him, but not stay in the apartment.

“I allowed her to come and visit the kid but not spend the night. I have a first wife who does not behave like Roselinda. She respects our marriage.”

Roselinda, 53, said the marital hiccups started in 2015. But it was not always like that, she says, recalling a ‘prince charming’ Atwoli whom she met and married 22 years ago while a single mother of three. The marriage bore them two kids.

However, Atwoli was at odds with her in 2016 when she allowed her eldest daughter to take aviation studies in South Africa. The differences resulted in Atwoli writing a letter to the school to discontinue the girl’s studies.

“From then he changed and it was like he had no soul … any more. He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him,” Roselinda said.

She says a ‘chaotic’ Atwoli has not supported the family financially since the marriage turned sour. “From 2016 to date, he has never assaulted me but I have heard all sorts of insults.” Roselinda said efforts to reach Atwoli to resolve the problems have been in vain.

Roselinda denied Atwoli’s claims in a recent TV interview that she defied his will and joined politics.

After the interview, an audio recording of Roselinda and Atwoli went out on social media in which the two argued about a home in Kakamega.

Atwoli has since taken a third wife, journalist Mary Kilobi.

The threats which are contained in a video, shows Apostle Ng’ang’a threatening to ensure that the lawyer relieves himself on his trousers and dies a painful death.bribed his way out of the case until the new DPP Noordin Haji re-opened it, he has now pulled another shenanigan.

The ‘man of God’ known to ooze hubris is wanted by Nairobi’s Directorate of Criminal Intelligence after issuing threats to a city based lawyer whose wife is a congregant at his church – Neno Evangelism Center.

Apostle Nga’nga got angry when the wife of the lawyer went to seek prayers because her learned hubby was mistreating her.

In her testimony, she mentioned that her husband had scoffed at her for attending the Apostle’s church and hell broke lose.

In the Video, Ng’ang’a is so visibly miffed that despite being recorded by his TV crew, promises to ensure that lawyer Joel Mbaluka is killed but not before suffering gross humiliation for belittling him, Apostle Ng’ang’a.

In the video, Ng’ang’a threatens to ensure that the lawyer relieves himself on his trousers and dies a painful death.

The lawyer has since appealed to police for protection from the controversial preacher who is known to be boisterous and conniving.

The controversial preacher who seems to have known the lady for sometime then orders that the woman be given Ksh 100,000 then chides her to her face that his wife is better thn her and that he used sh 6 Million to marry his wife.

Apostle Nganga divorced previous wife Loise Murugi Maina over infidelity and abuse. The two were married on June 30, 2012. Murugi describes how life changed from paradise to hell:

“In church, I took the position of an apostle’s wife, helping him with the service and managing church affairs. It is at this time that I started to experience a change in his attitude towards me.”

She claims that she was surprised when she found out who the real Ng’ang’a was.

“He was a drunkard and very abusive towards me, to the extent of insulting my parents. I also later learnt that he was adulterous, sleeping with staff and even bringing married women to our matrimonial bed,” Murugi claims in the court documents.

#TheCourtOfPublicOpinion; in matter of Mr Francis Atwoli EGH (Husband) Vs Roselinda Simiyu (2nd Wife), TheRuling:

Roselinda Simiyu, (Atwoli’s second wife)
Has no moral authority to complain about Mary Kilobi, she is a home wrecker and a Gold digger too; Knowingly and deliberately, she broke the heart of Atwoli’s first wife, by engaging him in extramarital affairs and even marrying him. She thought, she was a jewelry and will never grow old.
she must thank God, that Atwoli is 69 years now, and may not beat the record of Akuku Danger. As a woman, she accepted to be used and now she must be ready to be damped.

Mary Kilobi (The New Catch).
As a young lady with a Huge appetite for fine things and money, has no case to answer. She did not spoil Atwoli, Atwoli was already spoiled… running after all sorts of young women. The Hawk eyed Kilobi, saw opportunity to grow filthy rich and she grabbed it from another grabber (Another Family Wrecker).

Francis Atwoli EGH.
Francis Atwoli is a spoiled old man, who has acquired lots of wealth. He is entitled to spend his money the way he wants. He only owes allegiance, and apology to his first wife, who is the pillar of his life. All the others are just maids, he is at liberty to hire and fire whenever he wants.
Morally, Atwoli does not deserve to be called an elder. He is selfish, disrespectful to women, families and children. Atwoli’s opinion about leadership, morality, development and social justice should be disregarded completely.

Both Roselinda and Mary are weak and cursed women; husband snatcher, who do not believe in their own strength and genuine acquisition of wealth. They should not be allowed in the list of women of substance and integrity in our society.

The Court so, Orders!

The parties and the Public are allowed to appeal… in the comment boxes below.

TV girl Kobi Kihara plagiarised salad photo and Kenyans won’t let her be
By CHAD KITUNDU

Former NTV host Kobi Kihara was on Friday morning the butt of jokes on social media over accusations of plagiarising a picture.

Ms Kihara, who is now in the United States for studies, took to her Instagram and posted a picture of a salad she claims to have made herself.

“I make a bad ass salad #NomNomNom #Salad #KobiWithAnEye,” she captioned the picture.

Turns out the photo of the Rosemary chicken, bacon and avocado salad was lifted from the internet. It belongs to a blogger called How Sweet Eats.

Kobi had gone to the extent of giving the salad’s recipe to one of her followers who wanted to try it out, telling her that she found it in her mother’s fridge.

“Sawa honey will do: Recipe: it’s sliced cherry tomatoes, then mixed lettuce, you can find this kind in Zuccini or Chandarana in Nai, sundried tomatoes, bacon (fry till hard then break it up to small pieces), sliced grilled chicken, red onion, add spice of your choosing~I added rosemary, you can’t see it but I added cherry raisins and peanuts then of course Avocado baby! The dressing is pear vinaigrette, it’s so good! I found in my mums fridge.”

It later emerged that she had stolen more than just a salad.

From her former colleague at Ken Mijungu, to radio host Shaffie Weru and the always hawk eyed Kenyans on social media, they could not let her be.

The post FAKE LIFE: NTV Anchor Kobi Kihara In Trouble For Plagiarising Salad Photo, Roasted Online, Wants to Disappear to Jupiter appeared first on Kenya Today.

By AWMAgazine

Former NTV’s Better Living host, Kobi Kihara, is on top/bottom of her world right now following an instagram incident in which she shared a fake photo of salad. Now about 14 years ago, things were not so good for this sassy girl who is on ‘mid life crisis’ cycle of life.

Kobi has previosly shared on social media her rather “hard” past when she was a struggling bartender/BARMAID in Washington DC where part of her family stays.

According to the post on social media, Kihara claims she had a single pair of shoes and she has kept them ever since.

She added that she wore the pair for two straight years.

“12 years ago before I moved to Kenya, I was a bar attended at a local restaurant. And these were my shoes for two years. My mum saved them,” posted Kobi on social media in 2016.

“These shoes are a clear representation of how far god can really bring you.”
The black shoes that kept her going.

In a past interview, Kobi shared her life experience abroad saying it was one hell of a ride. She added that she decided to come back home because she saw a lot of opportunity.

Here is the past interview:

Born 37 years ago, Kobi grew up in Kenya as the youngest of five children, one boy and four girls. Her parents were in and out of the country all the time, and when she was 15, they decided to move from Kenya to Washington DC in the US to keep the family together.

“The move had actually been in the works since I was 12, so for three years I had been preparing mentally for it, imagining what it would be like from what I had seen on TV.”

She was to attend a public high school, but the summer before she was to join, a shooting incident at the school changed her educational course and she was enrolled at a private international high school.

What was her experience like studying abroad?
“At the time, I didn’t like the high school experience because the transition was quite hard at the beginning. It was a huge opportunity for the entire family, but once we got there it was so different and foreign. Looking back, however, I realise it was fantastic to be in an international setting. I was the only Kenyan and I had friends from different parts of the world.

How did her family react to her suggestion of studying arts?

I told my parents that I wanted to study the performing arts and to be an actress. To a family of overachievers, it was one of those ‘Huh?’ moments.

“To make them understand what the programme was about, I broke down the details of the course to my parents. It helped that there is a creative streak running through my mum’s side of the family so, with their blessing, I was soon off to Newcastle University in the UK.

When did she begin photography?
After a year and a half, she returned to Newcastle to complete her degree. However, her graduation day coincided with her sister’s wedding back in Kenya, so she missed out on the ceremony and came home to share in the celebrations.

“I had just started getting interested in photography and had always wanted to work with children, so during this period I volunteered at Nyumbani Children’s Home before going back to Washington.

What happened after that?
I took some time off when I had finished my studies, to figure things out.”
This time off saw Kobi actively job hunting. She was able to land acting roles in three small films, two shot in the US and one in the UK.
That is when I decided I wanted to be behind the scenes; to have control and have a say about what was going on in front of the camera. When you are only in front of it, your opinion doesn’t count.

What kind of jobs was she doing to make ends meet?
The time off also took her to Paris, France, for three months, where she modelled briefly and did some photography.

When she got back, she took on a part-time bartending gig.

How did that work?
my sister talked to me about following through with my photography, so I enrolled at a nearby school for some courses. I would attend these in the morning and bartend in the evening. In 2004, I went back to school full time in Toronto to do my master’s in film and TV production. At graduation, everyone I had been studying with was working – apart from me. I just couldn’t find permanent employment.

What did she do?
I volunteered with the Smithsonian Kaplan Institute and the Kennedy Centre, did freelance photography, but still it was a struggle and quite challenging.

“Later, I landed a temporary job with the International Organisation for Migration in the US, assisting with overseeing the Iraqi elections. There I saw the beauty of working hard and getting something out of your work. For a long time I was afraid of structure, but I was now happy to be productive, earning a salary, having benefits – the full nine yards.

She lost that job, how did she handle it?
The job came to an end after three months and Kobi found herself back at square one – job hunting, broke and disillusioned, armed with qualifications but still with no paid work forthcoming.

What made her return to Kenya?
I fell in love with Kenya again. There was a lot of scepticism and anxiety over my decision, because I had no tangible prospects to come back to and nobody could understand why I wanted to return.

How was the job hunt back?
As I had been putting out my CV and all my networks were active, Tom Mshindi contacted me while I was still in Washington about a producer position. I interviewed for it and, as I landed back in Kenya, there was an air of expectancy, as at least I would be earning. My mother was with me on this trip and we were staying with two of my sisters who were here.

Did she get the job?
I did not get the job. The disappointment was overwhelming. My mum asked me if I wanted to go back with her to Washington, but I was here to stay. I looked for a job everywhere I possibly could.

When did she get her first break?
My big break came through my photography, when a friend of mine introduced me to the management at the Windsor Golf and Country Club to do photography for their property. Then I got work with UNDP and, from there, the jobs just started coming in.

How did she land a job at citizen?
With things finally falling into place, a call from Citizen TV. I didn’t give it much thought, because I had got so used to doors being shut to me, so it was one of those ‘OK, I’ll do it’ things, but I wasn’t expecting anything to come from it.”

A month later, the station called to offer her a producer position as they were launching breakfast TV.

What is her opinion on being poached by Radio Africa?
No offence to any single individual, but the media industry in Kenya is lacking in professional structures that properly address under-appreciation, unfair compensation and poor talent recognition.

As a news anchor and studio producer at Radio Africa, I get full responsibility on the deliverables. I am part of a young and creative team, which is great. My role is to come up with programme ideas for the station, and I want to create more.

What is her most memorable gig as a photographer?
Her first memorable gig was the visit of then Sen. Barrak Obama to Kenya, on this particular day he was tree planting with Nobel peace prize winner Wangari Maathai, as she was pushing and shoving with other journalists to get the best shot, the senator stopped and commended her for being a great photographer

What’s the biggest lesson she has learnt in life?
Never take yourself too seriously unless you really, really have to. The moment you do, you over-think everything and then chances of you messing it up are greater.

Here are my issues with the Sauti Sol’s “Tujiangalie”

1. Sauti Sol begins “Tujiangalie” with “barua toka Jaramogi na Ngengi,” and release it a day before the sons of the two men affirm the handshake and take a trip to Ngengi’s grave? That’s just weird.

2. Then they ask Mboya angekuwa mambo yangekuwa sawa…isn’t it Mboya who wrote Sessional Paper no 10?

3. Then there’s “Michuki alisema tufungeni mikanda…” yet there were rumors of Michuki’s self interest in the seat belt business. And as Gathara often tells us, the accidents are due to bad road design, not lack of seat belts

4. They sing: Kura zetu zilitugawanya….come on, we all know what happened. Kura zillibiwa…

5. Then the line…so when you make your bed oh…
In other words, are Kenya’s problems really the people’s fault, so that it is only solved tukijiangalia?

6. The part where I just said I’m not with Sauti Sol is where they sing “Vision2030 itabaki ni story…yet Vision 2030 is a big problem and is behind many of our troubles, especially in healthcare and infrastructure

The revolution is being hijacked. Someone has advised Muigai to tolerate a little ranting about the economy as we approach the SAPs in a few days, when things will get worse. Musicians who normally call themselves pro-Muigai or non-political have intuitively picked up that they are allowed to speak against the debt and hard times we’re headed for, but just don’t direct it at Muigai or a particular politicians. So these musicians are giving us a vent, but they are not really calling for change. They’re telling us tujiangalie (we fix ourselves).

But someone on twitter responded to my concerns with this observation, which is really on point. He said: “hmmm…that song is meant to those buggers who voted twice.”

These songs are meant for Uthamakistanis. Uthamakastanis are being allowed to rant about the mess we’re in, but not enough to point at Muigai as the problem and their choice to vote him in a mistake. Rather, they’re being told to look to themselves. In other words, keep remaining isolated.

Fanon warned us that colonialists had mastered that tactic: “In former times, the colonialists have encouraged and supported these modes of expression. In fact, the occupying power assimilates stinging denunciations and exposures of distressing conditions and passions in a cathartic process. Support for these expressions prevents them from being put into action and helps clear the atmosphere.”

Those who steal our land and taxes are also stealing our language.

WHY DO COUPLES FALL OUT OF LOVE?
By Fred G
One of the biggest challenges with all romantic relationships, including marriage, is that people fall out of love. Falling out of love is akin to poison in the blood stream. Unless it is cured promptly, it permeates every part of the body, attacking critical organs resulting in irreparable damage or even death.

So you ask, why do people fall out of love?

It is not like there is a specific reason. It is true that there is team #borauhai, people who enter relationships, even marriage, because they fear being alone or perhaps out of pity. “Naona naweza ishi na huyu.”

But there are many couples who were once deeply in love who, over time, find themselves living like strangers in the same house.
So, here is the reason: People fall out of love simply because they are human. When love reaches the zenith, it takes great effort to keep it there. The zenith is usually narrow and slippery. The natural progression is downwards. Sometimes it hits rock bottom and that’s when you hear words like “irreconcilable differences” or “we don’t love each other anymore.”

Maintaining a healthy relationship takes hard work, by both parties. It is very similar to waking up every morning and labouring for hours to put food on the table. No relationship can miraculously stay healthy without work. However, if only one party is building while the other is pulling down, the result is frustration. Prayer does help. It is one of the key ingredients for success. But it is not enough. Even going to church together and acting like the model couple cannot cure falling out of love. The parties must exercise maturity, communicate daily and, most importantly, seek to understand each other’s needs. They must then take deliberate steps to address those needs to each other’s satisfaction.

Editor’s Note: if your relationship/marriage is struggling, you are not alone. Almost everyone you meet on these streets is struggling with a relationship or two. But as you may very well know, we don’t live our real lives on social media. Plus kila mtu anapambana na hali yake.

The former governor sat still and smiled for the camera as his beautiful female companion clutched onto his thigh tightly.

The two seemed to be enjoying every bit of their fun-filled night out and the politician could not help but grin throughout their little hangout.

Kabogo’s gorgeous companion rocked a short, plaid, black and white dress paired with a blue coat and what stood out was her yellow, thick thighs.

Good morning Society,

I hope this finds you well with all your pressures, prejudices and stereotypes. I first want to inform you that depression is real. That depression is indeed killing people out here. That depression is slowly but surely eating up innocent souls. That depression is wiping out permanently millions of lives from the face of the earth. That depression is tearing apart young families. That depression is wrecking havoc and causing untold suffering. And you know what, you are an accomplice in all these.

When you label people as failures just because they didn’t fill some empty spaces in a piece of paper correctly, you are an accomplice in this. When you normalize gender-based violence against women in marriages as a sign of feminine strength, you are an accomplice in this. When you stigmatize those who suffer from HIV/AIDS because of their health, you are an accomplice in this. When you body shame people because of their natural physical growth such as protruding breasts, then you are an accomplice in this.

You just don’t stop there, you go ahead to add salt to the injury by terming depression as madness. You exacerbate the situation further by again calling depression witchcraft, voodoo and sorcery. What you are simply doing is nurturing a cancerous tumour, a tumour that overtly eats from within. A tumour that will ultimately grow into a cancer. A tumour that will burst and release corrosive acid of self destruction. A tumour that will eventually kill.

Stories of young people committing suicides through hanging themselves or jumping into wells because they were defined as outcasts because of academic failure are traumatizing. Stories of men and women committing homicides by setting their houses with kids on fire because of boiling anger from perpetual acts of physical and emotional violence are traumatizing. Stories of children being violently defiled and grannies raped by roaming psychopaths who have been turned into beasts after being sexually ridiculed are traumatizing.

It is time to let people be themselves. It is time to let people score their academic marks and live a normal life without being christened as failures. It is time to let people make their independent career choices to end drop outs and academic depression. It is time to let people graduate at their own preferred time without being badmouthed in the village. It is time to let people marry those that they love at their own preferred age in order to raise stable families. It is time to let people live within their means without pressuring them to build bungalows and buy expensive cars just because their peers have done the same.

It is time to stop unnecessary pressures, it is time to stop stereotypic tendencies, it is time to stop unwarranted prejudices. It is time to let people be!

Yours truly,
The unflinching son of Ngege Village.

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino ruthlessly response to a woman who insulted him for his looks, has on Twitter

Trouble started when the vocal legislator sent out a tweet saying that he did not know how it felt coming from a rich home, but he would ask his kids when they grow up.

“I don’t know how it feels to come from a rich home with a hardworking, handsome, charismatic and ambitious dad but I will ask my kids,” read Babu’s tweet.

But your dad is a well known Singh in Kisumu and he’s still alive.

A woman only identified as Lennah then responded to the MP’s tweet saying that Babu should also not forget to ask his children how having a dad with bat ears.

“Don’t forget to ask them, how it feels when you have a dad with ears of a bat,” she said.

Babu Owino who did not take her comment lightly then hit back at the woman telling her not to forget to ask her kids how it felt to have a mom with a forehead almost the size of Kasarani stadium.

“You too shouldn’t forget to ask your kids how it feels to have a mum with a forehead bigger than Kasarani Stadium,” he responded.

Sammary Cherotich Asbel’s wife writes….

“To let go isn’t to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret.

Letting go isn’t winning, and it isn’t losing. It’s not about pride, and it’s not about how you appear, and it’s not obsessing or dwelling on the past.

Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It’s not giving in or giving up. Letting go isn’t about loss and it’s not defeat. To let go is to cherish memories, and overcome and move on. It’s having an open mind and confidence in the future.

Letting go is accepting. It’s learning and experiencing and growing.

To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It’s about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon again.

Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving.

Letting go is growing up. It’s realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy.

To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path, and to set you free

The post FINALLY World Athletics Champion Asbel Kiprop’s Wife SPEAKS OUT About The Video- See Summary appeared first on Kenya Today.

A 21-year-old Kenyatta University student has narrated how she has learnt to keep up with the likes of Vera Sidika and Huddah Monroe. According to Jane, the only way a student like her can live a lavish life is by sleeping around with old sponsors.

In an interview with BBC seen by KT on Thursday, August 30, Jane stated she has two men who give her money for her various needs. “You have to hustle or else you will end up in the streets. The socialites are an inspiration to me. Vera owns a house in the US and she is living the life I want,” Jane said.

The bubbly lady does not understand why people cringe whenever they learn women exchange intimacy for money. “People just make it sound wrong but actually sometimes nothing about it is wrong at all,” she explained.

According to the bodacious student, older men are well aware of what they want. To her, most ladies do not want to run around with young campus boys. Her two sponsors ask about how her day has been and often pay attention to her needs. That, to her, is effort.

The KU student started work as a masseuse and her job helped her score a few rich men who were willing to pay handsomely for some hanky panky. In a day, her massaging job can make her up to a whopping KSh 10,000. “My only dream is to make my parents happy. People need to do what they have to do to get money,” Jane opened up.

When you start dating again after a long relationship, nothing prepares you for how tiresome the process is. Or how unrealistic your current mentality is for new spaces with new people. You’re already used to being comfortable, vulnerable, and in constant communication with someone. (And my ex is a world class communicator. I had to edit that in.) Meanwhile the person sitting across from you is holding all their cards ati anakusoma. And that just makes you sooooo much more tired of them and their silly looking games. Instant lethargy. Y’all don’t even know how many times I’ve told my mom to bail me out of a date with, “Cirū, uko?” As in, I’m texting mom to give me a curfew during a dinner date. And she’ll soon start resisting because she’s looking for a son-in-law and grandbabies.

So what scares me about being single?

That I’m really not in any moods to play any kind of mind games, that I have zero patience for the slow and annoying process of getting to know each other, that I am irreverent. So irreverent. Which means I’m asking “we’ve been married for twenty years” questions on the first date without batting and eyelid. Juzi I asked someone’s son if he’d talked to his mom in shagz and how she’s been doing on date two. He’d only previously told me where she lives in that “naishi South C lakini kwetu home ni Kericho” type of way. Mimi huyo, ready to send her upkeep myself and ask about her cows. And of course my irreverent ass laughed hard when I saw his recoiling shock. You know how you even have that ka-shame for, “Cirū it’s too much, too soon”? Nothing from me. And yes, I’ve shown up in a dhera and rubber shoes to a date too. 😂. He could tell I didn’t try and didn’t care that I didn’t try. Oops!

I’m a hazard on a date right now – basically. I’m kinda not sorry about it though. You’ll just have to deal with this even less chills having Cirū.

The most scary bit, that I would rather stay single than fight for any kind of anything. If it takes work which I consider unnecessary, I’m sitting it out. And damn near everything feels unnecessary right now.
