they had to say.
That girl is a victim of TRUST. The discussion should be about the sociopath that took advantage of her naivety not her age or ability — Hannibal (@mokayah)
There so may nineteen year olds stuck in that group but instead of saving them we are just stuck to gender talk..smh — aleckie ronald (@SirAlexas)
Plus if he sent her money it was fare or something, many chicks do that “if he wants to see me atume fare ya kwenda na kurudi” — T (@tianta_)
The man is an evil psychopath. That much nobody can argue against. But the girl should have known better. Tell these other girls now — Lord Kitur (@TheKitur)

When news of this hit the social media website, various celebs' reacted. When I was little I couldn't find a Barbie that looked like me, my...how times have changed: Zendaya wrote an Instagram post. "Thank you @Barbie for this honor and for allowing me to be apart [sic] of your diversification and expansion of the definition of beauty. Can't wait to keep doing amazing things with you:
Nicki Minaj was one of the stars who reached out to Zendaya to congratulate her on the honor,while also reminding everyone t hat she was honored with her own Barbie in 2011.
"Congrats on your doll, Zendaya! Did u know Barbie made me one a cpl years back? It was such an honor & a HUGE surprise. Anyway, I love your doll's hair!

squarely in the traditional, Barbie endorsed body standard.

WAHU: I GREW UP IN A LEAKY HOUSE

AWARD winning singer Wahu (left) revealed to her fans in Nakuru that she grew up in poverty.
The Sweet Love singer told the youth gathered for the Nakuru Youth Week Cultural Festival at the Players theatre that her parents could barely make end meets.
They had a leaky house. "Often times, people would keep asking where the bathroom was as the whole house leaked from everywhere," she remembered.
Wahu told the youth that her love for singing started in their bath room.
" I would sing for hours while taking a shower.Woe unto the person who came after me to shower," she said. "Everything was working against me to fulfill my dreams. Many [people1 told me to forget about my dreams because they were not practical. I told God I wanted to be happy. I decided to write down the things I enjoyed doing."
The diva famed for her track Sitishiki decided to keep busy by working as a volunteer for an advertising company for a year. " I needed the experience which at the end of the day enabled me to start my own advertising company. My love for creative design has seen me open three beauty salons . I have
always loved beauty, which has seen me venture into the salon industry." Wahu challenged the youth to follow their dreams. She quoted the late televangelist Myles Munroe saying that the richest place in the world was the grave as many hidden talents laid there underutilized.
"Do not let anyone tell you you cannot achieve your dreams. The only person coming between you and your dream is you," she advised, "We are our own worst enemies. We give ourselves excuses on why we cannot have or even achieve our dreams."

J Cole in EA, OMG!

Unless you’ve been living on a deserted island befriending coconuts, we’re sure you’ve heard about the Ugandan TV host, Flavia Tumusime who turned down the sexual advances of American Rapper J Cole back in 2012. Tumusime, through a social media post revealed how J Cole asked to talk to her privately as she was attending the 2012 Big Brother Africa after-party.

KENYAN artistes may benefit from increased royalties as a new platform that detects when a song is played enters the market.
Mziki Trak, is an audio logging software which is able to detect when a song or advert is played, how many times it's played borh on radio or television. It also gives additional reports on the specific region where the song has been played from.
According to the software developers, Kaki Gondi, JamesMantu and David Sinei, Mziki Trak is aimed at bringing about more transparency when paying
out royalties to artistes.
"I have heard that Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) has a similar platform in place. However, as a registered member of MCSK, I do not have access to their software," says Gondi, the head of Mziki Trak,
"So for starters, we are giving free access of the software to artistes, Currently artists can register for it for free on www.mzikitrak.com this will be different
in that it' will give transparency to the whole process of music plays. This will in turn empower artists to re-invest in their craft which in turn improves the quality of the Kenyan music & entertainment industry."

President Obama's cousin, Marie Auma, sues police Sh64M over farting claims

One of Barack Obama's cousins is suing the Met Police for £400,000 pounds over claims colleagues subjected her to a campaign of harassment and passed wind next to her desk.
Marie Auma told a court that officers and staff at Southwark Police Station conspired to bully her - with two officers regularly breaking wind near her in a "primitive" and "loud" manner.
The 57-year-old, who was at American President Obama's inauguration in 2009, claims she was constantly belittled and humiliated between 2007 and 2009.
The harassment began in 2007 when she was refused leave to visit her two brothers' graves after they died in a car crash in Kenya and ended in her being medically retired with mental health difficulties, the court heard.
Ms Auma, of Green Lanes, Palmers Green, north London, is fighting for £400,000 compensation in a trial at Central London County Court. The Met denies liability.
Judge Simon Freeland QC heard Ms Auma, whose job involved liaising with crime victims on the Telephone Investigations Bureau, had been the victim of "21st Century bullying."
Describing how colleagues would break wind next to her, Ms Auma said: "This was happening on the telephone investigation desk.
"It became a common practice and nobody was investigating this behaviour.
"It was two of them - PC Andy Whiting and Ray Clement - who would do this kind of behaviour.
"PC Whiting was passing wind when he came and stood right in front of me, passing wind in a very primitive way. It made a "brrrp" noise.

Busted: KQ Air Hostess nabbed With Sh28 Million Worth Of Heroin

We have heard of stories where people fall from grace to grass in the blink of an eye.
And today, being TBT and all, we take a look at one of the most famous cases of grass to grace, the infamous nabbing of a KQ airhostess, Priscilla Chemutai Kolongoi.
Priscilla enjoyed quite a lovely lifestyle as an air hostess before her life took a rapid nose dive from the skies to the gutters. This is after she was caught trying to smuggle heroin worth 28 million Kshs into the country from India on the fateful morning of March 25 2002.
The high-flying airhostess, was nabbed when she tried to wheel in the 33 packages and 2 sachets of the illegal drug after a obligatory check at customs.

A crime that promised a mandatory life sentence if she was found guilty, lucky for her the judge gave her 18 years along with a fine of Kshs 10 Million. She attempted to untangle herself from this mess but it only made things worse and he fine was raised to 83.4 Million. All this for a job that would have earned her around 210,000 Kshs which was quite a rip-off considering the street value of the drugs she was trying to smuggle in.
Now 13 years later Priscilla Chemutai Kolongoi is free thanks to her good conduct while in jail.

Kenyans lead by president Uhuru Kenyatta have been quick to express empathy, condolences
and show concern for the pilgrims following the disaster. ‘Mecca’ is currently trending second on twitter. A number of Kenyan Muslims had also traveled to Mecca.
