The Kenyan Senate was treated to an unexpected lesson in urban slang during a recent session when Senator Karen Nyamu requested a statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defense, and Foreign Relations regarding the rising popularity of the term “aluta” among Nairobi youth.

“Aluta Continua,” a Latin phrase meaning “the struggle continues” in English, has historically served as a rallying cry for social and political movements worldwide, symbolizing the ongoing fight for justice, equality, and positive change.

However, in the dynamic and evolving world of Nairobi slang, the term “aluta” has taken on a variety of interpretations and applications, often dependent on the context and intentions of the user.

Sheng, the urban dialect spoken by many Nairobi youth, is characterized by its adaptability and contextual nature, drawing upon words and expressions from various languages and cultures. This fluidity can make it challenging for outsiders to grasp the precise meaning of certain Sheng terms, particularly when they are employed in specific social settings.

During the Senate discussion, several senators expressed difficulty in understanding the meaning of “aluta” in the context of urban slang, highlighting the potential communication gap between generations and social groups.

Senator Nyamu’s request for a statement on “aluta” underscores the growing influence and prevalence of urban slang in Kenyan society. While the term’s meaning may vary depending on the context, it undoubtedly reflects the creativity and resourcefulness of Nairobi youth in expressing themselves and shaping their own linguistic identity.

The Senate’s engagement with this topic signifies a willingness to acknowledge and understand the evolving linguistic landscape of the country, fostering a more inclusive and representative approach to communication and policymaking.

Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has raised concerns about the growing popularity of ‘Aluta,’ the popular reggae Sunday shows that have become a staple among Nairobi’s youth. In a social media post, Nyamu expressed her apprehension about the youth spending their money on these events rather than pursuing more constructive activities.

“I’m taking a stand against this ‘Aluta’ phenomenon that’s sweeping over the youth in Nairobi. Club owners, consider this your official warning,” Nyamu declared on her Instagram account.

Her statement prompted a response from popular reggae DJ Double Trouble, a key figure behind the renowned ‘Aluta’ shows, who asserted that they would not back down from Nyamu’s opposition.

Another social media user suggested that Nyamu’s stance might be driven by a desire to protect her partner Samidoh’s income, as clubs are frequent venues for his performances.

Nyamu’s remarks have sparked a debate among partygoers and business owners, with many arguing that she risks disrupting a popular and well-enjoyed tradition.

Media personality Joyce Gituro has voiced her support for Senator Nyamu’s position. A few weeks ago, Gituro went viral for her discussion about ‘Aluta’ Sundays with her son Jakes Nyanjom.

‘Aluta’ Sundays, which commence at 6 am on Sundays, have evolved into a popular gathering for revellers at Nairobi clubs. The concept originated from club owners along Thika Road before quickly gaining traction in other Nairobi clubs.

The debate surrounding ‘Aluta’ Sundays highlights the ongoing discussion about the balance between youth entertainment and responsible spending. Senator Nyamu’s concerns about the financial implications for the youth are valid, while proponents of the events emphasize the social and cultural significance they hold for young people.

Amidst the glitz and glamour of Mathira MP Eric Wamumbi and Murang’a Woman Representative Betty Maina’s traditional wedding, a playful dance between nominated Senator Karen Nyamu and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua captured the attention of social media users.

The duo, among several other dignitaries present at the wedding, was caught on camera grooving to the music, with the DP even holding the Senator at times. The lighthearted moment triggered a flurry of reactions on social media, with many praising Nyamu’s dance moves and appreciating the amicable relationship between the two leaders.

Some observers noted that the DP, being a married Christian, maintained a respectful distance from Nyamu, holding his hands folded throughout the dance. This interpretation was met with mixed reactions, with some commending his restraint and others expressing disappointment that he didn’t fully embrace the moment.

Despite the minor controversy, the dance between Nyamu and Gachagua undoubtedly added a touch of fun and vibrancy to the wedding festivities. The incident also served as a reminder of the importance of maintaining cordial relationships among political figures, regardless of their differences.

Senator Karen Nyamu, who is running for office, recently talked about how difficult it was to break up with Samuel Muchoki, also known as Samidoh, even before their liaison was made public.
Karen Nyamu discussed her views and experiences in an interview with Convo on November 7, illuminating the complexity of her relationship with the Mugithi star.

Karen’s Endeavor To Depart From Samidoh

Karen Nyamu revealed that she had tried multiple times to break up with Samidoh for a variety of reasons, such as outside pressure and her empathy for Samidoh’s first wife, Edday Nderitu.

Karen wrestled with the choice to break up with Samidoh even before the public learned of their romance. Taking into account the effect their relationship had on others, she understood the moral and ethical conundrum she was facing.The nominated senator clarified that her relationship with Samidoh was not based on financial incentives, as they were not struggling financially.

“Things of the spirit! I tried to plan them, I said let it go now because I tried and failed…Fear the spirit! You don’t know it well!” she said.

Karen Nyamu continued to praise Samidoh for his looks among other qualities that have glued her onto him.

He’s cool, he has a cool spirit, he’s very funny, he’s open, he doesn’t pretend, the soul is naked, you see. He has a vibe that I have never seen in my life.

“He is very attractive. He usually says some things and I know in my life I will never hear another person say them,” Nyamu said.

Senator Karen Nyamu, who has been nominated, has spoken out about her desire to win Miss Kenya, a dream that was resisted by her father while she was in college. Nyamu was being scouted for Kenya’s beauty pageant while attending law school and working toward a degree in law at the time.

“When in law school, I was scouted for the Miss Kenya beauty contest. Due to my height and well-proportioned figure, Chris Kirwa and his team were convinced they had found that year’s winner.”

Nyamu started taking modeling classes to be ready for the contest, perfecting her walk and learning how to show off her exquisite posture. But her father, whom she affectionately refers to as Mr. Nyamu, intervened, forcing her to make a difficult choice.

“I took some modeling lessons where I learned to walk as I twisted my hips like this. Eventually, Mr. Nyamu told me to choose between school and nonsense, and that was the end of that dream,”

Karen Nyamu discussed the circumstances that led to her success in yet another interview with Ala C, concentrating in particular on the influence of her father in her life. Her family was very important to her journey, and she was raised in a traditional Christian home, which had a big impact on her ideals.

Karen Nyamu remarked that her parents’ unwavering dedication to giving their kids the finest possible upbringing gave rise to a strong work ethic and a spirit of resilience in her. Her character and aspirations were shaped by her upbringing in a loving and encouraging atmosphere.

Despite having a strong parental foundation, Nyamu openly discussed a phase of rebellion she went through before finishing eighth school.

Senator nominee Karen Nyamu justified her relationship with Samidoh by pointing out that it is a legally sanctioned one. In the Kigoda Chako segment of NTV Kenya Live, she was asked about becoming a second wife by the TV host.

“Kuliendaje ukamchukuwa mzee ambao hakua wako? Wanasema wewe ni mrembo kweli kweli eh,,Wanaume walienda wapi.”

Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has expressed her support for her friend, singer Akothee, following rumors that she may have parted ways with her husband, Swiss national Dennis Omosh.

On October 2, TUKO.co.ke reported that Akothee had taken to social media to reveal that she had been going through a lot and was undergoing therapy and healing in private.

Nyamu later posted a photo of herself on Instagram, and a fan commented that they were among the people who had attended Akothee’s wedding and danced fully. Nyamu responded to the fan, saying that they would dance even more at the next one.

Nyamu’s message of support comes amid rumors that Akothee and Omosh have separated. The singer has not publicly confirmed or denied the rumors, but she has been spotted without Omosh on several occasions recently.

It is unclear what has happened between Akothee and Omosh, but it is clear that Nyamu is standing by her friend during this difficult time.

Sen. Karen Njeri Nyamu, who has been nominated, has long faced harsh criticism for her romance with musician Samuel Muchoki, alias Samidoh.

They have been dating for a while, and their union has resulted in the birth of two children.

It is evident that not everyone is delighted for them, despite their public displays that they are happy to be together.

The politicians has frequently been accused of stealing someone else’s husband, which has led to harsh criticism of the lovers from their detractors.

It is a comparable situation to the previous instance where a Facebook user by the name of Ptah Petta Peesh warned Nyamu that thieves of another’s husband are the same as bank robbers under one of the posts.

“By the way, pastor alisema hakuna mwizi wa bwana na wa benki. Wote ni wezi,”

And the nominated senator replied,

“Sisi tunashikwa lini?”

Ironically, a Facebook user referred to her as, “Thamweli’s next M-kopo.” The politician, surrounded by numerous tragedies, said with assurance, “Only the best is his.”

Despite receiving a lot of negative feedback on social media regarding her connection with the Mugithi musician, Nyamu has never been reluctant to defend it in public.

The lawmaker recently said that Samidoh taking her as his lover was an act of God and that she had always begged for her children to have their father.

“God works in mysterious ways. I used to pray and tell God, ‘You gave me good children, their father loves them.

UDA-nominated senator Karen Nyamu has denied claims that her involvement with musician Samidoh caused Edday Nderitu to move to the US with her three children.

Nyamu said that Edday had always wanted to live in the US, and that her decision to move was not related to her relationship with Samidoh.

She also said that she was not responsible for the online drama that had been surrounding the situation, and that the blame should lie with Samidoh.

Nyamu’s comments came after a netizen accused her of wrecking Samidoh’s first marriage. The netizen said that Nyamu should have been more considerate of Edday’s feelings and that she should have stopped the online drama.

Nyamu responded by saying that she had never intended to hurt Edday, and that she had always tried to be respectful of her. She also said that she was not going to stop living her life just because of what other people thought.

The situation between Nyamu, Samidoh, and Edday is still ongoing, and it is unclear what will happen next. However, it is clear that the online drama has caused a lot of pain and hurt for everyone involved

Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has spoken out about her relationship with Mugithi artiste Samidoh, saying that she is often misunderstood and misquoted.

Nyamu said that she is aware of the public perception of her as a “homewrecker”, but she insists that she is not. She said that she is simply a woman who is in love and that she is not responsible for the breakdown of Samidoh’s marriage.

Nyamu said that she has developed a thick skin for internet trolling and that she does not let the negative comments get to her. She said that she is happy with her life and that she is not going to apologize for being in love.

Nyamu said that she hopes that Samidoh’s wife, Edday Nderitu, will eventually come to terms with the situation and that they can all move on. She said that she is willing to work things out with Edday and that she wants everyone to be happy.

Nyamu’s comments come after Samidoh released a song in which he begged Edday to return to him. The song has been well-received by fans, and many people are hoping that the couple will be able to reconcile.

Only time will tell what the future holds for Karen Nyamu, Samidoh, and Edday Nderitu. However, it is clear that Nyamu is a strong woman who is not going to let the opinions of others dictate her life.

Mugithi singer Samidoh has left the country for Australia ahead of his music tour.

The singer’s baby mama, Karen Nyamu, shared a video of him at the Turkish Airlines lounge at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport before his flight. It is unclear if the two are traveling together or if Nyamu is just escorting him to the airport.

Samidoh also shared a photo of himself in business class on a Turkish Airlines flight, captioning it, “Melbourne, we are airborne!”

The singer has been spending quality time with Nyamu ever since his wife, Edday Nderitu, relocated to the US in May. A few days ago, the two lovebirds traveled to Mombasa for Nyamu’s firstborn daughter’s birthday. Samidoh, together with Nyamu and their kids, posed for a lovely family photo.

The father of five attended gospel artiste Muigai wa Njoroge’s wedding with his second wife, Queen Stacey, and his remarks about polygamy left tongues wagging.

In his speech, Samidoh said that he is not against polygamy and that he would be open to marrying a second wife if his first wife agrees.

Samidoh’s remarks have been met with mixed reactions, with some people supporting his views and others criticizing him.

It remains to be seen whether Samidoh will marry a second wife, but his comments have certainly sparked a debate about polygamy in Kenya.
