Teacher Wanjiku started doing her thing at the Heartstrings theater by appearing on a play titled 43rd Kenyan tribe. She got her big break on Churchill show after her YouTube video got a massive 200,000 views on YouTube after the first show. Since then her videos on YouTube titled Teacher Wanjiku Lessons have gotten a big viewership.

Airtel Kenya was quick to notice her talent and she has signed up a multi million deal with Airtel as their face for the 2 bob across all network Campaign. Her photos are all over on billboards and on TV ads which I think has also boasted her resume in the Comedy industry. Just like Eric Omondi started. Some people think she has replaced Omondi’s popularity on Churchill show. Personally I tune in just to watch her finalize and close the show.

Anthony was music is influence by Gospel songs after all he started singing in the church. He has collaborated with artistes such as Tupac, Jadakiss, Young Jeezy and Macy Gray. If you planning to go to the concert embrace yourself for some cool RnB and Soul music tunes. This is music for grown folks. I happen to listen to Anthony’s Hamilton music and I got to say it’s sweet to the ears, calm and collected music.

I have to applaud the guys behind the Tusker lite Experience for bringing big shots in the RnB industry previously such as Johnny Gill, Joe Thomas, Donell Jones and Erykah Badu.

Sheila Mwanyigha vaseline billboard photos causing ripples

The former Tusker project fame presenter is gracing the Billboards with semi nude advert photos. I bet you knew Kenyans were going to talk about it. We are not used to this kind of adverts .I will say that this got to be a very smart move by Unilever to use a Entertainment figure like Sheila Mwanyigha who is currently a presenter with NTV am live.

If you have used Uhuru highway, jogoo road or stumbled upon the Advert on Norwich union mama ngina street then you will have to agree the advert is going to sell more to men.I almost forgot Vaseline lotion still exists .Now the supermarkets will be flooded with men asking for directions to the lotion counter only to find the product not bearing the bootylicious figure of Sheila Mwanyigha photos..he..he.

Reminds me of the program that used to air on K-24 something, like K-connect .Where the presenters were talking about sex with the disguise of Mombasa raha. Indeed sex sells period. Are we moving from the conservative nation to more liberal country with a new crop of the so called Divas and celebrities like Huddah Monroe and Vera sidika?  For me the advert is moderate I don’t mind appreciating smooth and curvaceous body. It goes beyond to show of one’s responsibility to eat and take care of you body.

The next time you come across the advert and you are driving please keep your eyes focused on the pedal to the metal. Hapa najua kutakua na shida!!

What Rihanna Wants Most In A Man

RIhanna i want's a partner in crime, some man who can love me and be fun to be with
Many people always see her wearing the weaves am also surprised she did the interview in her real hair.She still looks pretty to me.

"Fun times" she got everything but i think she still misses Chris Brown a lot.In my own opinion she looks bitter while saying that.

Many people think these stars got the strength to handle situations but in real sense they are just as vulnerable just like us folks that are not on the limelight.

Even oprah thinks she's rihanna the Bad girl,Bad ass kinda girl but she ain't.She is so down to earth even in her home town of Barbados.
Watch out for the whole video on Monday after it airs on Oprah Tomorrow.
