Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Martin Kimathi has not only been left without a mother but a friend he treasured with his whole being. A few days ago he announced that death had robbed him off blindly now that his mother had gone to rest with the angels.

He went on to add that she passed on after undergoing two surgeries at the Aga Khan hospital but he did not reveal what she had been suffering from. He wrote saying,

“Hi guys. On Wednesday 9:30am my mom succumbed to death after undergoing two surgeries at Aga Khan hospital. This is the worst pain I’ve felt my whole entire life! To everyone who has sent their condolences or shown support directly or indirectly THANK YOU. Stay blessed”

Anyway, this past weekend his family, relatives and friends gathered together in Meru county to give his late mum the final send off. Though he did not say much on his caption, Martin announced that his mum had been laid to rest.

Below are the two photos he shared from the burial ceremony;

Rapper Khaligraph Jones is not playing around with the money he has been making for the past few years. He is now spoiling himself with new toys and just after parading his Mark X the fella has gone ahead to share a video bumming in a Range Rover believed to belong to him.

In the video shared on his Instagram page, Khaligraph Jones is seen rapping along to one of his songs as she flaunts the mega machine owned by very few artists in the industry.

Judging from the photos he has been sharing lately, we have reason to believe that he still owns his Subaru. The car is seen parked near his other two new cars outside his house in Buru Buru.

Well…seems like he bought the Range Rover as a birthday gift to himself now that he turned 27 years. He captioned the photo

“Happy 27th Birthday To The OG..”

This saw his team hold a football tournament for both women and men on Saturday attracting many to be part of his projects. On Sunday he however ensured to hold an event which was attended by his band members, Nyashinski, Nameless, Le_band, Bon Eye, Naiboi among other artists who have grew up in Eastlands.

From the photos it is easy to tell that Savara’s efforts and hard work paid well as fans turned out in huge numbers to support one of their own. His parents were also present and his mother got to perform kuliko Jana as she also congratulated her son for stepping up to help women…something that has not been seen in a while.

Confirmed baby onboard: Mishi Dorah parades her growing baby bump

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

A few months ago socialite and Nairobi Diaries actress Mishi Dorah revealed that she was expecting a child with Rayvanny but everyone took this as a joke as she is known to speak lies in the previous episodes of the popular Nairobi Diaries show.

However, this time around she seems to have been real when she revealed that she was expecting Rayvanny’s baby. A few months later the lass has now started flaunting her growing baby bump that has left many shocked.

She shared the photo on her Instagram page and went ahead to caption it saying,

You can’t force loyalty.. some people will always let you down. Everyone won’t just be who you want them to be…we can be cool, we don’t need to be close

Well… I am not sure how Rayvanny’s current baby mama and girlfriend will react after seeing this but all we know is that the Tanzanian singer is about to be a dad for the second time.

Six Gaza gang members arrested in Murang’a while one escapes with police handcuffs

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

The Gaza gang members are not only terrorizing Nairobi residents but people of Kiawamburi, Mukuyu and all neighbouring Murang’a town.

Gaza gang member (photo credits)

Reports indicate that just like the young men of Gaza gang in Nairobi, the Murang’a Gaza members are young boys in their teens and early 20’s who have graduated to robbing with guns among other weapons starting from 8pm.

These young men are not afraid of shedding blood and injuring women when carrying out their missions. It is unfortunate that this has started to become a trend a few weeks to the general elections.

However, the police have made it their job to look out for these young men and so far 6 were recently arrested and arraigned at the Murang’a law courts despite 1 of the thugs escaping with police handcuffs.

The police have now promised to ensure that things will not get out of hand as they carry out a man hunt for these boys.

 

Zari hospitalized a few days after her mother was also admitted to popular hospital

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

It is not quite clear what is happening around Zari’s family but what we are certain of is that she was rushed to hospital yesterday after falling ill as revealed by several online news outlets.

Well, the mother of 5 is seen laying on a hospital bed as she receives some IV Fluid probably dehydration and exhaustion. Her condition has however left fans questioning whether this is another move just to keep social media a users talking, but we cannot confirm this.

 

Anyway, looking at her social media pages you will notice that she has not been active as usual , meaning that she might actually be ill. While other fans continue to call her out for the ‘stunt’ most are assuming that she is expecting another child – which is somehow impossible for now since her son is barely 1 year.

This is how effective PrEP is!

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

PrEP is the most safest way of HIV prevention for now. However, one has to make sure they take this pill daily to maximize the effectiveness at preventing HIV.

About condoms:

Taking PrEP every day will keep you from getting HIV infection. However PrEP will not protect you from other STI’s such as gonorrhea, genital warts, syphilis etc. or unwanted pregnancy. You must use condoms correctly and consistently in order to be fully protected from all STI’s and unwanted pregnancy

Using PrEP

For PrEP to be effective, one needs to take it for at least 7 days before any exposure to HIV. Thereafter, the PrEP pill should be taken once a day for as long as a person remains at risk of HIV infection (or as advised by the Health care provider). You should not take 2 pills at the same time or on the same dayto make up for a missed dose. PrEP best works when used with another prevention method such as condoms

When we say PrEP is 99% effective, that means that when PrEP is taken every day as prescribed, it prevents 99% of the cases of HIV that would have occurred otherwise.

Hassan Joho and Jamal Gaddafi visit the holy city of Mecca (Photo)

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religion of Islam and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory for all able Muslims.

From what we know is that all Muslims wish to visit the Kaaba (the holy site) before they die and not so many have been privileged to set foot in the holy land. However, this does not make them any different from those who visit since they are equal before God’s eyes.

Well, Hassan Joho and Jamal Gaddafi finally fulfilled their dream after setting foot in Mecca, the center of the Islamic world and the birthplace of both the Prophet Muhammad and the religion he founded.

Jamal shared a photo hanging out with his close friend Hassan Joho and wrote saying,

One of the greatest blessings of my life at the moment. Alhamdulilah again in Mecca!

Judging from what he wrote seems that this is not the first time he set foot in the holy land. Anyway, checkout the photo below;

Death robs us at a gun point and most of the time we are left feeling stranded after losing a loved one. George Ikua who is the husband to the late Janet Ikua understands this feeling pretty well and just like any husband who has lost the love of his life, the father of two cannot hold back whenever he feels like expressing how much he misses his wife.

For the first time in a long time George Ikua opened up about how much he misses his wife in a touchy message shared on his social media. Gathering from what he wrote, George definitely was affected by the death of his wife and is still healing from his tragic lose.

Through his social media pages George wrote saying,

From Pedro, Jaz and I we miss you dearly… A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved…. thank you for your love hope you still dancing”

He is not just an artist but one with lyrics that come off in a poetic way. Anyway, the singer and his family are currently mourning the death of his second wife, Chiku Khamis Tumbo who passed on this weekend while giving birth.

From the stories making rounds on social media the late Chiku Khamis was rushed to Amani Hospital in Dar es Salaam Tanzania where she was to give birth but after struggling during labor the lady gave up, something that cost her life and that of her child.

It is quite unfortunate for the family as they have to deal with this during the holy month of Ramadan. Below are a few photos courtesy of Globalpublishers.

With how the music industry is slowly evolving new talents are being developed and for this reason I could help but introduce an amazing talent that has shown promising room for growth.

She is called Radi Mziki and her new song dubbed Weko Weko is among the most effluents all songs I have come across in a very long time. Her vocals are amazing and pleasing to the ear. This specific song will not only leave you wanting more but appreciating how well written the lyrics are.

This is however not her first song but one of the many projects she is planning to release in the near future. Her composition is well backed up by the simple visuals as she is seen singing in a studio – and the simplicity of the video makes it even more pleasing to the eye.

Sorry Ladies! Sauti Sol’s Bien strongly denies that his relationship is facing issues

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Bien Aime is not happy with the stories making rounds on social media claiming that he is not in good terms with his Caucasian-Nigerian beau.

Well, this morning word had it that the singer and his lady were no longer living together and from what we gathered is that the two needed space especially since they both have demanding careers.

What we did not know is what caused Chiki Kuruka to move out after being together for about 2 years. I tried reaching out to Bien but my efforts were in vain. However, a popular tabloid managed to get through to the Sauti Sol singer after they called up his girlfriend for more details.

Apparently this angered Bien who angrily responded by pleading the media to give them peace now that they know his relationship was doing alright. He said,

we are okay, we are chill, don’t call my wife again asking her stupid questions

(hangs up)

Well, there you have it. Bien and Chiki seem to be doing okay but question still remain…why is she moving out and why is the Sauti Sol singer now attending events alone unlike before?

This is how long controversial Gospel singer Ringtone will be fasting and praying for Huddah to get saved

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

No matter how hard we try to keep off Ringtone’s rants on social media, the singer always finds a way to keep his fans and the media talking and this time around he seems more interested in catching Huddah’s attention.

Through his instagram page the singer announced that he will be fasting for 21 days inorder for Huddah to get saved. He will also be praying for her as he believes that she needs Jesus in her life. He wrote saying,

“MY BRETHREN IN CHRIST I AM GOING INTO PRAYER AND FASTING FOR 21 DAYS FOR THIS MY FRIEND @HUDDAHthebosslady TO RECEIVE JESUS. IF YOU BELIEVE SHE NEEDS HIS LETS AGREE TOGETHER IN PRAYER FOR HER.#HUDDAH4JESUS,”

This is however not the first time the singer is pulling such a stunt. Last year he went ahead to ask his fans to help him propose to Tanzanian singer Ray C as he was ready to make her his wife only if she agrees.

However, this time around he seems more interested with Huddah’s salvation but this is a topic we are pretty sure will interest the popular socialite. Let us wait and see what she will say about this>

Obinna who happens to be a former radio presenter and an artist has left many questioning whether he has finally settled down after sharing a few photos all glammed up in a suit and yes, his bride was also present.

The photos shared on his Instagram page have left many wondering whether he secretly tired the knot or this was just another of his projects now that he has been bagging deals with corporates in the country.

Well, I can’t confirm whether he had a wedding but all I know is that he stepped out looking dapper in his suit and his bride on the other hand stunned in her white gown as she accessorized it with some simple jewelry on her ‘Special’ day.

Bien Aime has been dating his half Caucasian girlfriend, Chiki for about 2 years now and word on the streets is that the two are currently facing a few issues in their relationship – that is if it’s not over already.

Chiki Kuruka

Seems that their plans of living together have also backfired after cohabiting for a while now and word has it that Miss Kuruka was asked to find her own apartment in order to create some space between her and Bien since he is a busy artist and one who needs not to deal with the ‘pressure’ he is getting from his woman as revealed by our close and reliable sources.

Our source goes further to reveal that the couple needed space from each other to create room for their love to keep burning now that things between them were starting to get a bit too much.

Anyway all my efforts to reach Bien failed but I will keep trying for more details:
