When asked why he didn’t choose a Kenyan lady; Willy said;
Sisemi kuwa hawana tabia mzuri lakini zile qualities tulikuwa tunatafuta, tulizipata tu Tanzania.

Controversial artist Akothee has asked women to stop using makeup because they are lying to themselves. She took to Instagram to share why she ditched her makeup kits saying that she realized she’s a beauty and nothing on her face needs any enhancement.
Makeup was stressing her

Will justice ever prevail? Felix Mwingirwa shot to fame when he savagely beat a passenger after he refused to board a matatu on January 30th 2018.
Felix is a staff member of UNIQUE Shuttle Sacco at Tea Room, just long Accra Road Nairobi. He boasts of having connections with top police bosses and even State House.
Felix was arrested after public outcry following the assault of the passenger. He was however released as the dust settled on his case.
Cash cow
Boniface Mwangi explains that police wouldn’t dare charge Felix because he is their cash cow. The Right Activist says that Felix collects bribe money from all Tea Room shuttles and forwards it to the police.
And even more shocking, Boniface reveals that Felix has now instigated the arrest of John Kariuki Mwaniki and John Kithinji who were witnesses on 30th January incident when he assaulted a passengers.
John Kariuki Mwaniki and John Kithinji
Read Boniface’s full post below:
The untouchable Felix Mwingirwa is back again. This time he has engineered the arrest of two of the people he assaulted, and who had reported the matter to Central Police Station, to be charged tomorrow at Milimani Law Court. John Kariuki was assaulted by Felix on 5th October 2016. He reported the matter at Central Police Station, OB 03/05/10/2016.
The police recorded the statements of John and his witness and then, in a strange twist, John was arrested and detained at Central Police Station for two days. Following that intimidation, John was forced to drop the case.
Fast forward to 30th January 2018. Felix assaulted a passenger, cracked his skull and left him for dead. Wayne Wafula Msungu took photos and shared them on social media. The uproar forced police to release a statement that Felix is known to them as a serial offender and he has three assault cases before court. Police arrested Felix but the whistleblower, Wayne, was threatened.
He goes on to add;
Felix was charged in court and, in spite of being a serial offender, he was released on a Sh50,000 bond. Felix has now instigated the arrest of John Kariuki Mwaniki and John Kithinji, who were witnesses, on 30th January, when Felix assaulted the passenger. The two Johns tried to help the passenger and both were assaulted. Kithinji reported his assault at Central Police station, OB number, 61/30/01/2018.
Kenya Police and the Meru route matatu operators are protecting Felix Mwingirwa. It’s alleged that Felix is the one who collects bribe money from all Tea Room shuttles and forwards it to the police. So, Felix is untouchable because he is the bribe collector of money that ends up as “protection fee” for the police. Police don’t want their money collector jailed and the shuttles are afraid of losing that link between them and the police.
So, this is how Felix operates; he assaults people, and then if you report to the police, they call to let him know that you have reported. The police, working together with Felix, frame the victims and lay bogus assault charges on them. Felix is walking around Tea Room saying no one can touch him because Japheth Koome, who is at police headquarters, and Mr George Kinoti, the Director of Criminal Investigations, are both Meru, just like him.
Tomorrow, two innocent men, Mwaniki and Kithinji, will be arraigned at Milimani Law Courts, charged with assaulting the man who assaulted them. #TeamCourage
Anerlisa Muigai took a shot at fat people on her post on social media. The Keroche heiress was forced to apologize, she reveals who her insult was directed to.
Anerlisa surprised her fans when she fired salvos at obese people. She said some fat people could lose weight faster if they run as fast as their mouths.
“If some of y’all would run as fast as you ran your mouths, I am sure by the end of the year, you could be smaller than me. #ObesityIsAChoice,” wrote Anerlisa.
Apology
Anerlisa later on apologized for her distasteful post on social media. She explains that her post is directed to someone who people know.
“I wanted to take a moment and apologise for what I posted yesterday. That post was directed at someone most of you know. I am fully responsible for what I post and it’s unfortunate that it got out of hand and offended so many people. At no given time would I ever disrespect or ridicule people struggling with weight loss as I have been there myself. Trust me, I know just how hard it is. The hashtag #ObesityIsAChoice was referring to those who have the full capacity to work out and eat right but choose not to. I am fully aware that some people suffer from certain conditions that make it hard to lose weight. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me. I did not mean to offend anyone. Have a blessed week ahead,” wrote Anerlisa.

Who is the target?
Anerlisa’s gibe is seen as a clap back to comments made by Ebru TV’s presenter. A plus size presenter at Ebru TV show claimed that Anerlisa had liposuction procedure done to reduce her tummy.
This explains why Anerlisa said that some fat people could lose weight faster if they run as fast as their mouths.

At Msongari, she was ushered to a catholic lifestyle and became a passionate Christian thanks to one teacher called Sister Breid.
Julie took to her instagram to celebrate Breid who was celebrating her 97th birthday with a very lovely message and thanking her for shaping her life.
Julie Gichuru’s praises her elderly teacher
“Sister Breid (in the blue shawl) was the sweetest, kindest & gentlest soul of all the Nuns that taught me at Loreto Convent Msongari,” said Julie on her instagram post.
“She was incredibly beautiful, I often wondered why she became a Nun (I hereby acknowledge that I had some misplaced notions). She taught our class catechism & told us to pay attention to the Lord’s will and heed God’s call, should He ask us to serve Him as Nuns. As a result I prayed very, very hard, asking and pleading with the Lord never to call me to serve as a Nun, but to allow me to serve in other ways! ?Sister Breid had a passion for children and walked around the school with a collection box for Children Helping Children, we would raise funds to help other children in need. It was important, noble work & she did it with focus & dedication!
She went on to add;
In class we would hear her walk past because she always shook her collection box and the coins clinked together loudly, alerting everyone of her presence & reminding us to find something for the collection box. She was so persistent and constant in this noble endeavour we fondly but cheekily called her Penny Lover. Each time she walked by we’d break into song, “Penny Lover don’t you walk on by…” ?She helped shape me and I thank her and honour her. Today she is celebrating 97 years of life. Thank you Lord for blessing her sweet soul with such a blessed and beautiful life!
Happy Birthday Sister Breid ???? Thank you for reminding us Kari Mutu ?”
