Media personality Andrew Kibe is the latest radio personality to be shown the door in the series of firings that have been happening in the Kenyan media world.
The loud radio personality who never shies away from telling it as it is announced the news today to his fans on his social media channels.
He hosted the most popular breakfast show on Kiss 100 alongside his partner in crime Kamene Goro. Although he has not revealed the cause of his unexpected exit yet, rumours are already swirling that he might have gotten the boot for asking for a salary increment.
As we await the clarification of those wild rumours, Kamene penned a sweet goodbye message to her colleague and friend. This is the first time in a long time that the dynamic duo will have to work separately.
Before Kiss 100, they both worked at NRG radio where their bravado and charisma made them the talk of the town.
In her farewell message, Kamene channelled her inner Drake as she told Kibe she would always choose him no matter what. It could be the end of their journey on Kiss100 together but not the end of their friendship.
“Even if you had a twin I would still choose you…….#A1,” wrote Kamene.
He is the latest one from Kamene’s team to exit as Xtian Dela who also joined Kiss100 on her team was let go of earlier in the year.
His exit also follows that of the likes of Betty Kyallo and Jalang’o from Mediamax among hundreds of other journalists.
Socialite Corazon Kwamboka announced the news of her pregnancy approximately thirteen hours ago and its all Kenyans want to talk about.
This is greatly due to the fact that it is alleged that her baby daddy is none other fitness enthusiast Frankie just gymit.
The two were seen getting cozy with each other after the much-publicized breakup between Frankie and his ex Maureen Waititu with whom they have two kids.
Corazon is over the moon about this pregnancy as she battled with ovarian cysts that were surgically removed last year.
“If someone told me January last year that I’d be feeling you kick deep in my belly at the sound of your father’s voice, I’d most definitely think they were deranged! Endometriosis had crippled my dreams of birthing a child. But here we are. A pleasant and welcomed surprise. I can’t wait to meet you. Hold you and teach you EVERYTHING I know,” she wrote.
In her post on Instagram, she gave a special shout out to her baby daddy who she describes as having other children.
Sources have also revealed that Frankie is definitely the father.
“To the baby’s father; I couldn’t have chosen a better person to do this with. I see the good in you and how you raise your own and I know my child will be loved ETERNALLY,” she enthused.
She rocked the belly bump so beautifully and pregnancy definitely agrees with her. Congratulations Corazon.
Update
Corazon sat down with Edgar Obare and her baby daddy Frankie to confirm that he indeed is the father of her baby.
The two looked like the perfect couple though Frankie revealed that they never planned for the baby but gave her a go ahead to do what she deemed well.
Watch the full juicy interview below that has had netizens talking all night.
Renown media personality Anita Nderu has come under heavy fire after she posted a controversial video on her Instagram page celebrating pride month.
The video is an episode of her ‘Overdressed Cook’ show where she featured two gay men on the show.
LGBQ people in Kenya are still not recognized under the law making it illegal in the country.
Fresh Fri distanced themelves from the story claiming that Anita was not representing them.
“Fresh Fri would like to state that we have not engaged Anita Nderu for product placement or any other advertising of any kind. However, we would like to thank her for being a Fresh Fri consumer,” the brand said.
From the comments, it appears that most Kenyans we’re not comfortable with the video concept and they took to social media to express their frustrations.
When will Kenyans themselves stand up against this immoralities?@EzekielMutua Has done exemplary but he can't do it all alone, we need to change the perspective and approach of things and speak up and say No to Immorality. @InfoKfcb

If you’ve ever tried to sniff yourself discreetly after a crowded Summer bus ride to discover that you might have forgotten to apply deodorant on the hottest day of the year, we feel for you. While some people seem never to seem to sweat a drop, the rest of us are sopping wet and smelly after a leisurely stroll in the park.
What is Body Odor
Surprisingly, your sweat by itself doesn’t smell like anything. “Odor is the result of bacteria and yeast mixing with sweat. While some bacteria and yeast on the skin is normal, we can try to prevent elevated amounts and avoid conditions that promote bacterial growth, which leads to body odor,” Dr. Cook-Bolden explains.
Use an antibacterial soap
Dr. Cook-Bolden suggests using an antibacterial soap or cleanser to eliminate the odor-causing bacteria and make sure to dry off well. “Dry the skin thoroughly, especially in areas where you sweat heavily and in the folds and private areas. It’s harder for bacteria to survive and breed on dry skin.”
Wear cotton
Wearing cotton is important, especially in warm weather. If you need to, change your clothes often, and make sure you stay dry. “Moisture can promote bacterial and fungal growth, and look for materials that wick moisture from the skin,” Dr. Cook-Boden explains.
Relax
If you sweat when you’re anxious or stressed, it’s time to find ways to cope. “Try listening to relaxing music with a positive, affirming, hopeful message, take up yoga, deep breathing, meditation, or biofeedback therapy,” suggests Dr. Cook-Bolden.
Use an antiperspirant
Dr. Cook-Bolden suggests using antiperspirant liberally and often. “Use heavy duty antiperspirants that also contain deodorants if possible. These can even be used twice a day (but start out once daily and make sure it is not irritating to your skin).”
Our current favorite pick is Secret Fresh Antiperspirant and Deodorant Invisible Solid in Cool Waterlily ($5), which smells like a fresh bouquet of flowers.
Use apple cider vinegar
If you’re more of a holistic-remedy seeker, Dr. Hamdan suggests using a natural deodorant like Schmidt’s Charcoal + Magnesium Deodorant ($22 for two). “I also wipe my underarm area with diluted apple cider vinegar ($22) to help control the body odor,” Dr. Hamdan suggests, because it has antimicrobial properties.
See a doctor
If you’ve tried everything and you’re still experiencing excessive odor, it might be time to see the doctor. “Botox injections, a low level electrical impulse therapy, and an oral medication can all help,” Dr. Cook-Bolden explains. If this is the first time you’ve experienced a lot of body odor, let your doctor know right away. “Certain medical conditions can be associated with sudden or heavy sweating. They include but are not limited to heart disease, thyroid conditions, infections, hormone-related diseases, and tumors.”
Whether it’s strong or offensive, body odor is a sensitive issue that is commonly addressed by health and fragrance companies to temporarily quench the stench. Dousing in these chemicals and artificial-scent sprays only shield body odor for a short duration, but they fail to treat the underlying cause of these nose-pinching smells. Luckily, there are natural, fresher, and cleaner approaches to tackle undesirable body odor to treat this embarrassing problem.
In order to practice good hygiene, it’s important to know how body odor often occurs. Insufficient bathing or poor hygiene can lead to an unpleasant odor secreted by the apocrine glands, located in the underarms, genitals, and around the nipples, and the eccrine glands, found in the underarms, hands, and feet, when they interact with skin bacteria. The sebaceous glands, located in the scalp, face, and chest, produce oil, which has a light odor with or without bacteria. “If people have poor hygiene bacteria can build up on the skin and create more than just bad body odor.
Vocal comedian and radio personality Chebet Ronoh, popularly known as Ronoh turns twenty years old today.
As the funny lady turns twenty, she has a lot to celebrate about. Not many Kenyan youths can boast of the huge success Ronoh has achieved in her short lifetime, 19 being her pinnacle year.
It was at 19 when she was named the youngest radio presenter at Kenya where she hosted a show at NRG Radio. She replaced Elodie Zone on the show and saw the show get catapulted to the top mid-morning show on radio.
This is all thanks to her loyal fan base which tripled thanks to her radio show.
She has also been interviewed on a number of TV stations including Ebru TV and KTN. She has been on the cover of many magazines since her rise to fame.
Her Youtube channel has grown to amass a whopping 4.2 million subscribers. It is through her Youtube channel that we have watched some of her most epic celebrity interviews including Kibe, Alejandro and Avril.
Taking to her Instagram page, the young bubbly lass also announced that she earned her first million at the age of 19. What a way to set the standard.
She is truly a force to reckon with. Having achieved all this at such a tender age when most teenagers only think about relationships, we can only imagine how far she’s yet to go in future.
We all live in a world in which we constantly hear about couples breaking up and separating even after being together for a lengthy period.
Have you ever thought how they deal with the awkward feeling that emerges after breaking-up? Though we live in a modern world and these things are quite common, yet facing an ex-lover creates such unease.
Here are some ways to deal with awkwardness after a break up:
Spend some time alone
Talking to your ex immediately after a break up could be a good move or a bad move depending on the situation. If you are not sure about what you want to do immediately, you can take some time off all social activities and spend some time alone. That will give you some time to think about how you are going to talk to your ex.
Talk to your ex’s friends
When a break-up happens, friends take sides. To ease the awkwardness and anything negative that might have emerged from your break-up and spread it amongst your common friends, you must make an effort to make sure that your ex’s friends do not see you in a bad light. Before you reach out to your ex, it is important that you reach out to your friends.
Find a topic to tell them about
After A Break up, you must try your best not to dwell on the past. Find another reason to talk to them. If you are in college, discuss studies or assignments. Once both of you start talking again, you can discuss about your relationship and analyze what went wrong. By then, you will have no bitterness left inside you.
Accept what went wrong
Whenever you decide to talk to them, just make sure that you are honest about your feelings and be transparent about how you feel about things. If you want to discuss what went wrong, you must do so in a very cordial and mature way. If you think you have made some mistakes, accept them gracefully. Keeping your feelings and thoughts bottled up inside is not a good idea.
Interviews are some of life’s most stressful things, but with the right preparation, it is easy peasy. Most people only remember to prepare for the interview in terms of preparing for the questions that will be asked and one’s dressing.
Another key component of the preparation that you should never forget is what you need to carry to the interview. Here is a list of essentials that you should always have with you when you walk into any interview.
CV
It is essential to carry with you a few copies of your curriculum vitae to a job interview as back up. Keep them safely in a way that they will not wrinkle.
Briefcase
A briefcase is necessary to carry into an interview as it carries the necessary documents. Ensure that it is leather and looks professional.
Breath mints
No interviewer wants to sit across a candidate with a smelly mouth and brushing your teeth doesn’t guarantee it will stay fresh all day. A packet of breath mints in your bag is essential and should be popped before going in for the interview.
List of references
References are people you have previously worked with who could vouch for your character. Keep several copies of this list of references with you as it could be asked for during the interview.
Pen and paper
Carrying a pen and paper into an interview shows that you are ready and prepared for the interview. It will also help in taking notes of the important stuff so that you don’t forget. This will show the interviewer you pay attention to detail.
A written list of questions
Most interviews end with the question, “Do you have any questions for us?” While it may seem like nothing, this small move could make or break your chances at getting a job there. So, since interviews can be stressful, it is important to carry your list of questions with you so that the pressure doesn’t make you forget.
For many people, staying at home during lockdown and avoiding the commute to work is giving a welcome break to their skin.
This is because your skin finally gets to ‘breathe’ away from the makeup, sun, and pollutants in traffic.
However, not all skins are thriving during this time. Many are complaining that colonies of zits are ravaging their faces.

What could be the reason for this outbreak of pimples? Well, 3 culprits are to blame, snacking on unhealthy foods, dehydration, and stress which does a number on your skin.
“Bad skin is often caused by stress; your body creates cortisol under stress, especially stress you have no control over. Which in turn leads to oily skin and breakouts, also swelling and rashes. Poor diet, dehydration, and stress can cause breakouts, redness, and swelling. What many people do not realize is that the gut and the skin are interconnected, if you are overeating or stress eating this can often lead to eczema and rosacea,” skincare expert Vivienne Taslmat told metro.co.uk.
In addition, many people are not drinking as much water as they used to with caffeine and alcohol slowly replacing water.
“Dehydration can be from two factors; not drinking enough water and drinking too many cups of coffee, tea or sugary beverages which will dehydrate your skin. If dehydration is your issue, have a bottle of water by your bed – as soon as you get up drink it, use a water app to remind yourself to drink water and don’t ignore it. Replace tea with hot lemon water,” she advised.
As the world evolves and goes more technological, so should your relationship. Sexting is the act of texting, sending, receiving, or forwarding sexually explicit messages, photographs, or images, primarily between mobile phones, of oneself to others. It is a new method of intimacy that has sprung up thanks to the internet era.
Sexting has its downsides but if used well, it can be a strong catalyst for your relationship, especially if you have been distanced by the corona virus pandemic.
Here are ways both you and your partner can benefit from sexting.
More emotional intimacy and less stress
Sex, in general, has the effect of making couples feel more connected. Sexting helps to continue that connection and emotional intimacy when you are not together and can’t get it on physically.
Foreplay
Sexting is also a great way to get your partner excited for when you will meet and have sex. It helps arouse the sexual anticipation and acts as a form of foreplay.
Increased self-esteem and body confidence
Because sexting usually involves sending a part of your body either covered or undressed, the validation and attraction from your partner makes one more confident in their body.
Physical Validation
Sexting can be extremely affirming and validating. It lets your partner know that you find them attractive and think about them when they aren’t there.”
It is Fun
Let’s be honest, sending cheeky images and texts that could be risky is a fun thing to do. It is like having a secret coded language or inside joke that only the two of you can relate to. Besides, what would life without sexts look like today? Must be boring. It keeps your partner entertained and interested.
