Revealed! How Eric Omondi robbed Jalang’o his only chance at Kiss FM

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Turns out that Jalang’o started off his radio career at Kiss FM, back when he was still young and green with the likes of Caroline Mutoko before he got axed out by comedian Eric Omondi.

Narrating the sad story during his recent YouTube interview, Jalang’o revealed that Mutoko and Jeff Koinange molded him into who he has become today. With Alex Mwakideu holding him up for Swahili radio.

Unfortunately, as he was trying to hone his skills in the then-just established radio space in Kenya, Jalang’o lacking experience, was quickly ousted out by well crafted Eric Omondi who took his place at Kiss FM.

My first time at Kiss FM, I was still young and green in the field of radio. I felt I needed something different and when other people were brought in, I did not feel the vibe. They told me to join Radio Maisha instead but it had just been born. That is when Eric Omondi came in and took my slot at Kiss FM.

Unfortunately, for Eric, this did not last, exiting barely a week after he got hired

But it was just one week and he could not cope. He had other businesses to run.

Divulging unknown details of his ugly saga at Milele FM that cost him his job, Jalang’o told Mwakideu:

I was jobless. I had nothing to do and I was having a push and pull with the HR at Mediamax. No radio job, nowhere to go, I had been fired! Then I got a call for a job [at Kiss FM] and I didn´t think twice.

Before admitting that Milele FM was one radio station they pulled from the grassroots to where it currently boasts as Kenya’s leading Swahili station but they never appreciated him enough.

We brought Milele FM from the grassroots up to where it is currently as Kenya’s no. 1 Swahili radio but when we talked to our bosses, they were not willing to pay as according to how we delivered. So I thought it’s time I left.

Wild reactions

Flooding the comment section, the early birds confessed that he was indeed doing a fantastic job, urging him to make the show more vibrant than ever.

However, a section felt pretty disappointed that Kiss FM had stooped low enough to bring in Jalang’o who can never fill Andrew Kibe’s shoes and who is actually molded for Swahili radio shows.

Radio personality Jalang’o, born Felix Odiwuor is busy buying time before his official introduction into Radio Africa’s Kiss FM family.

The comedian has recently been quoted saying that Monday, July 6, was the big day he was going to join Kamene Goro on their Morning Kiss show.

Unfortunately, that never came to pass and majority of Kenyans have held him accountable for failing to faithfully deliver on his promises. Only for it to later emerge that Jalas has been awaiting a grand welcome as Kamene’s co-host.

The reveal

However, a privy source speaking exclusively to Ghafla, has divulged that the comedy kid will be making an official landing on Monday, July 13, unlike previous reports.

Kamene will therefore have to do it solo for the next couple of days, which then translates into roughly 2 weeks of her solo shows since her counterpart, Kibe hang his mic.

It has however been confirmed that Jalang’o signed his new contract at Kiss FM on Monday, July 6, as he bids his time for a grand entry.

Even though utterly disappointed by Kibe for his actions and keeping his resignation away from her for a solid 3 months, Kamene seems to be getting over it while warmly ushering Jalang’o to take the place of Kibe.

Meanwhile, Kenyans have expressed mixed reactions to a Kamene-Jalang’o merger on Kiss FM. Some holding to the belief that it could never get better, others of the opinion that Jalang’o was not crafted for Kiss since day one.

We can only wait and see how it unfolds.

Popular comedian and radio personality, Jalang’o sparked online uproar on Monday morning after he failed to show up for the Morning Kiss show alongside Kamene Goro.

This is after he went public last week to affirm to Kenyans that come Monday morning, he would be back on air, but this time replacing Andrew Kibe at Kiss FM.

Well, your bet is as good as mine. The lad never showed up!

Interestingly, just like birds of a feather, Jalang’o is alleged to be awaiting a grand welcome into the Radio Africa – owned radio station, just like his BFF, Betty Kyallo’s stately welcome into K24 TV in September, 2018.

She interestingly though vaguely explained:

We are planning a red carpet. But we can also knit him a new green suit to introduce him to the show properly. We can’t just let Jalang’o into the show without pomp. He will be coming on very soon. We are the only people who can get Jalang’o during Covid-19.

The vocal radio presenter went ahead to admit that just like she blended with BFF, Andrew Kibe, it would not be hard to build chemistry with Jalang’o as they co-host soon.

Chemistry is all about friendship and bond. He is a very good friend of mine…

Spicing it up:

…and you will be shocked what we can accomplish together.

Jalango’s promise

Friday, July 3, Jalang’o went on air to confirm reports that he was Kibe’s replacement at Kiss FM, assuring fans to bond with them come Monday, July 6.

This job is mine. You are handing it over to me and I didn’t know you were leaving and I didn’t fire you. You left yourself and I have been given an offer to take over. So guys, Monday next week, Kamene and Jalas!

Jalang’o alias Felix Odiwuor

This saw Kenyans on Twitter build the hashtag “KameneandJalas” that is currently boasting of 11k plus followers but woe unto Kenyans, their hopes were crushed soon as the hashtag was born.
