Can You Find "True Love" through Online Dating Sites?

Image
"Yes! Yes! and Yeeeees!"  That's me replying to my topic of the day. Yes, I know I sound crazy to some of you but just give me 5minutes of your time and I will tell you why my answer is yes and how this can happen. I posted on facebook a few days ago about how online dating has helped me know how to read people's minds especially men and it wreaked havoc on my timeline. What most of my friends didn't know is that the statement I posted was very true but my main intention was to get to know how well Kenyans understand online dating.  Here are my Top 5 comments from my post: "Online is boring, when will you ever meet" "Ati Online, Wow" - (Translation: You mean online? wow) "Online Dating is Overrated"  "Welcome to Diaspora......" "The concept of online dating means you're not there physically so anyone will tell you anything just to make you happy or interested. GO SEE YOUR DATE"  These fiv...

Celebrating Legends: The Story of M'bilia Bel

Image
Mbilia Bel famously known as "Queen of Rumba" started singing at the age of seventeen as a backup-singer and her breakthrough moment would later come when she became Tabu Ley's protegee. She rose to fame with the help of Tabu Ley Rochereau and Sam Manguana who really helped her to gain confidence, teach her how to take the full control of her powerful soprano-voice and to reach to the summit of being one of the best Congolese female singers in 1981. "Eswi yo W api " was her first Music album to be released in early 1982 which saw her win Zaire’s award for “Industry’s New Comer”. With her stunning beauty, voice and exceptional dancing skills, Mbilia Bel would always light up the stage and leave the audience in tears everywhere she performed. With her outstanding dance moves, Mbilia won hearts of many rhumba fanatics in Africa and across borders. The world was dying to see this African Queen and she was the main attraction in almost every concert. ...

Who Did It Better ? : Size 8 Vs Mr. Seed

Image
Rule #1 of a good hater/ critic is : know the product or services of your "Person Of Interest" very well before you attack. So i decided to cram few lyrics from size 8's new song "Ni Yesu" before I attack. Ni Yesu, Kweli ni yesu  *4, Halleluyah he is worthy of all our praise, Celebrate, come on celebrate, Jesus *2 He is worthy of our praise Cheza (ametenda mema), Ruka (ameshinda vita), vigelegele kwa yesu *3, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUMe5KKZLbM I want to call this a come-back tune but no, i won't. Size 8 ensured that she remained on our screens even when we all thought she should be on her maternity leave. She started this exciting shopping program on K24 that reminded me of OMO-pick a box .(those programs that you think are a bit crazy but you always find yourself glued to the screen). We all have to agree she is good at what she does. (Note: every hater loves the people they criticize, they just have a hard time adm...

Dealing With Death - When Mom Became Marehemu (THE LATE)

Image
IN THE LOVING MEMORY OF MY LATE MOM KAWEMBE  <<Mama Renoir>> Earlier this morning I rece ived a call from the wife of one of our kidney patients who has been hospitalized for some time now. His case got a little complicated and he rested on Monday. My deep condolences to the family and may God grant them, all the strength and comfort they need during this time of mourning.  I keep telling the bereaved families how  “GOD DAENT GIVE ONE WHAT THEY CAN’T HANDLE”  , He only allows it to happen when he knows that we are stronger and ready to handle each situation. I know what they are going through right now an I want them to know this; God has a reason for everything and you can handle this because I too did. The reason as to why I decided to start with this sad story is because one of my Facebook friends lost his mom late last month and I know his wound is still too fresh and he might need to know some things about how to deal...

Redemption's New Release - NJIA NDEFU (Exclusive)

Image
His Facebook identity reads Redemption Realman. As the name suggests, his fans consider him one of the realest men in the gospel scenes. On his early twenties, Redemption is a popular songwriter and performing artist with his two hit songs; Crossing Over and Yenze topping most of our gospel charts. Crossing Over, his collabo with Guardian angel, brought him to the spotlight 2years ago. I first met this guy 2years ago while Emceeing at "Flamers Dance Krews Concert" and funny enough I couldn't get his name right but I knew his song's lyrics better than my national anthem. One thing stood out though, his voice was remarkable, the content of it was so deep and he was surely a great talent to look out for! The grand rule of building or growing a loyal  fan base for your music is ensuring that your product is worth promoting and worth listening to. Lately musicians have decide to sing just about anything. Our gospel music has somewhat lost the true meaning of the ...

Kenyans,,,It's a Matatu Not a Pub!

Image
A matatu is a mini bus fitted with 14passenger seats and has very limited spaces to allow the passengers squeeze their way in. Any Kenyan reading this thinks am crazy but am very okay. Apparently my american pal told me how hard it was,during  her first time to boards matatu when she came to Kenya because in America they use bigger buses,the Metro bus, which happens to be bigger than my all times favorite, Embassava bus .She said she felt so uncomfortable because of the limited space between her seat and that in front of her plus the fact that she had to bend to get into the matatu. Though she has gotten used to them, after her few years stay here, she prefers to board a bus other than a matatu. That said, you have a clear picture of how small a matatu is. Now, you should be aware of the fact that any phone call made can be heard by that entire matatu. Every passenger is allowed to eavesdrop at their own pleasure or will. A phone call done in a public vehicle should be short...
