Adele writes emotional tribute to mum who died of cancer

Adelle Onyango was recently on social media to write a beautiful tribute to her late mum who died after battling cancer for ten years.

She shared a photo of her late mum seven years after she passed on and she had a keen resemblance to Adelle Onyango.

“I’m lowkey happy October is almost ending. Breast cancer awareness month this year made me
more aware of my mums absence. Breast cancer stole her from us 7 years ago. She battled it on and off for over 10 years and still managed to lead an org that would raise funds for other Kenyan women
battling the same!” she said. 

Grief

She added that she really feels bad for those undergoing the same thing this month and hopes they’ll find a way to handle their grief.

“Oct always meant we’d be involved in the annual walk etc but now I cannot be at any BC events. I end up resenting them or the people who are happily there – grief is overwhelmingly irrational sometimes. So I dodge them. I guess those battling grief will get it and those who don’t get it – I pray you never will.
PS: That’s my fave picture of her she was such a peng babe!” she added. 

 

Two years after getting married, Adele shares dating advice that some Kenyans definitely need

Kiss FM breakfast show presenter Adelle Onyango has been married for two years now after walking down the aisle with Falgun Bhojakis at a secret wedding at Redhill heights, Limuru.

So far, she has learned a lot about marriage. It’s not a bed of rose flower but it can be as soft and green as grass if you are dedicated and tender to it.

Desperation

Adele recently shared how people should fall in love saying that no one should be desperate when looking for love.

“When you keep looking for love you will find the wrong people but when you’re alone just in your own space like going to the gym, yoga, love will find you there. join a group for cyclists and cycle in Karura” said Adele.  

Well, it’s a simple advice that will probably will work.

Comedian Jalang’o forced by fans and feminists to apologize following his views on Ivy Wangechi death 

Jalang’o took to social media yesterday to air his views regarding Ivy Wangechi’s murder and in the process quickly realized he has just messed up.

The radio presenter shared that women should avoid taking gifts from men that they have not interest in because these gifts come at a price.

”I think it’s time we became honest with each other. Too many young beautiful girls are dying some of the most saddest deaths you can’t wish for someone’s daughter! It is time we discussed this issue! Rule one! No man gives any woman anything for free! Yes I said it ! Men can we tell them this!” he wrote in part. 

Clarified

The post angered many who rushed to the comment section to attack him. In the end, Jalango was forced to delete the post and later post another clarifying what he was trying to state in his earlier post.

In his apology, Jalang’o said that he didn’t justify murder but still insisted that women should stay away from “free” gifts from men if they are not into them.
