Joseph Kinuthia alias Omosh is not a new name to both Citizen TV viewers and social media users. Omosh broke the internet in February this year when he pleaded with the public to come to his aid as in sustaining himself and his family.
The Tahidi actor’s name came to the public for the second time this year a few days ago after a video of him pleading help once more went viral on social media. However, this time many people have not been so enthusiastic to help.
Instead, netizens and various celebrities including Jalas have judged Omosh harshly claiming this time the actor should step in the streets and hustle like millions of Kenyans struggling to make ends meet.
But Omosh recently revealed that his struggle with alcoholism is the major cause of his financial mismanagement. Kinuthia told the Mount Kenya Star that having grown up in a family that almost all members consumed alcohol substance, his problem with alcoholism is rooted way past his life as a celebrity.
“While still a teenager in Nyeri County, I was already experimenting with alcohol due to peer pressure and the fact that I grew up in a society where many people including my relatives consumed various substances including alcohol. This made me want to try those.” Omosh revealed.
Although Joseph Kinuthia mentioned that he has sought assistance by visiting a rehab for three months in the past, we hope he will find all the help he needs to get back to his life.
Gospel singer Ringtone Apoko is a wanted man after he allegedly Impregnated a lady, then went hiding. According to the post shared by the lady named Akuju Mbosso on her Instagram, she met the singer when she was desperately in need of help, only for him to take advantage of her situation.
She indicated that in the fateful day, she had gone to meet Ringtone, but unfortunately they ended up sleeping together, resulting in to the pregnancy. She stated,
“Hey guys…nlikua natafuta job then I met ringtone apoko.he promised kunipea job.tukakutana kwa hoteli na bahati mbaya tukalala pamoja..I missed my periods so ikabidi niende pregnancy test na nikapata niko na mimba..hashiki simu zangu tangu ajue niko na ball yake pliz help me..”
That said, it is hard to confirm the truth behind this claim, as Akuju is the same lady who shocked netizens when she tattooed Mbosso’s name, a move the triggered mixed reactions on social media. The question is, is she honest with her claims or she is being used by Ringtone to attract attention before he releases another song?
It is important to remember that just recently, socialite Bridget Achieng made headlines, accusing Ringtone of raping her about seven years ago. In a self-recorded video, Bridget says;
“I am coming in as somebody who has been through the share situation in my life . I have been put in a corner just because I come from the ghetto. Around 2013 -2014 went to visit a man called Ringtone. This is not for clout ….I put my life in Ringtone’s arms , thinking this man is going to help my career. He told me to come to his house , and he took advantage of me.”
Ringtone responded, insulting the socialite, accusing her of lying. Surprisingly, he then produced a song shortly after Bridget’s allegations.
Twende Vasha is now the most common term in the country. The much awaited 2021 Safari Rally officially kicked off yesterday and is scheduled to hold over four days to 27th June 2021 in Naivasha, Nakuru County. This marks the sixty-eighth running of the Safari Rally.
Based on the fact that it has been over a decade since Kenya hosted the Safari Rally, Kenyans have taken to social media with several versions of how they expect the motor racing to go down. What is surprising is that Kenyans seems to have taken the event as a platform for the big boys better known as “Subaru Men” to flex their muscles to ladies and not just ordinary ladies but slayqueens.
Several memes are currently circulating in the social media of how girls are set to enjoy their ‘hard’ earned dues from the Subaru Men. Looking at these memes one would think Naivasha is set to hold a modeling competition.
But is this even a surprise? We just tell the wazungus KARIBU KENYA.
What you are missing
Guys are having fun, why haven’t you packed to Naivasha. However, the fun seems to be overated or misinterpreted by some. Here is Kamene Goro’s thoughts on the hyped #Vasha event.
”This weekend is going to be a whole lot of fun… It’s going to be a rieng like no other. Babe, I really want to urge you. Please usipotee. Don’t lose your principles, don’t lose your values, don’t lose yourself… You do not want to wake up on Sunday full of regrets, tragedy and bad news.”
In Kenya, most of the elected mcas and MPS don’t hold colleges and varsities degrees but this has not relented them to be delegators in our societies.
Recently, independent electoral boundaries commission (IEBC) enforced laws that all mcas and MPs should hold a degree if they want to contest in 2022 elections.
In the past, the electoral act only required the president and the governors to possess a degree for them to be eligible to vie for their inspiring political stewardship stance.
At the moment the Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen is drafting a bill to tweak the electoral act policy for all mcas and MPs to hold a varsities degrees for them to be acknowledged by IEBC to participate in any foreseeable election positions.
Do you think it is appropriate for the mcas and MPS to compulsory hold university degrees for them to be approved as political leaders.
Meanwhile, I concur with IEBC that it is essential for them to be exponentially knowledgeable but supposedly they should not be limited to take part in election positions. It is indeed exemplary that with better education they will be able to implement wise decisions as the current society that we have is sophisticated and having a premier education can assist them to solve issues promptly without so many inconveniences.
And to conclude I also believe that if voters can decide and perceive them as their leaders then they should wholeheartedly be approved to address their mandate without constraints. What are your thoughts on this?
