Shaffie: Getting a kid at 23 scared me, I wasn’t prepared for fatherhood 

Radio presenter Shaffie Weru has opened up about getting a baby at a rather young age. In an interview with Parents Magazine, Weru, who had his firstborn with singer Debbie Asila when only 23 years, had to speed up the maturity process when his daughter was born.

“I was 23, scared, confused and overwhelmed. I wanted to retreat. All that changed however when I held Milan. The partying had to stop, especially the first year. Not that I was sleeping, to begin with. Now I was just not sleeping, but because of different circumstances,” He told Parents Magazine.

Wasn’t easy

The father of three went on do add that Asila, after giving birth, suffered from post-partum depression for close to a month.

“Debbie also suffered from post-partum depression for about a month. She was depressed, didn’t want to eat or go out. I didn’t know what was going on and didn’t understand what she was going through. It helped that our moms were there,” he said. “When Nia came along, I was ready, in every sense of the word,”  he said.

Here is how young girls get pimped to old wazees according to radio presenter Shaffie

Cases of jobless girls living an expensive lifestyle has left many with questions where they get their money from but according to Kiss FM radio presenter Shaffie Weru, young boys are the ones connecting these girls to sponsors who then fund their lifestyle.

“Last weekend, the hashtag #IfikieWazazi shocked many, but the truth is, this trend was started by the pornographers – Instagram Photographers. They are known for taking advantage of children on Instagram in guise of making them famous or models.

“We have young photographers who have opened pages online that focus on pimping young girls and boys to sponsors. Most of them never tell the naive kids that they are being pimped out, they take the photos in the name of art and at a chance of being discovered as a model.” said Shaffie on his weekly column on the Star Newspaper.

Commission for every lady

Shaffie also said that young boys go on to get a commission of between Ksh 2000 and Ksh 1000 for every girl they bring. They tell them they are taking them for photo shoots but lead them to sponsors and brothels.

 “To reward the unsuspecting teenagers, the spotters can offer the girls airtime and some little cash to turn up for the shoots. Impressed, the victims fall for the trap. The spotters are usually paid on commissions like 2k (Sh2,000) per girl or 1K (Sh1,000), or more depending on how hot the girl is or how impressive her physical features are,” said Shaffie

The Kiss FM presenter also claimed that the burglary was an inside job since the watchmen couldn’t have failed to notice people taking property from his house.

“This is an inside job. It is becoming a common problem in Kileleshwa and Lavington where gangs collude with security to break into residents’ houses while they are away,” Shaffie said.
