Controversial singer Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee has revealed that she does not pamper orphaned children, and with good reason.

The singer took to social media to reveal that she has had her fair share of people who play the orphaned card to live on handouts.

Taking to social media, Akothee narrated how for one to live with her, they have to make sure they are ready to work their bottoms off.

“I have a big heart but a no-nonsense, i don’t pamper orphans, you can’t be singing you are an orphan at the age of 25, yet your mjulubeng is doing rounds, my friend. Does it mean if your parents were still alive you would still be depending on them?  If i take you as my child and you live with me, get ready to work your ass off just like i do, i don’t owe you success, no pity party corner in my home, i kick my kids’ ass too so you won’t be special!” She said

Akothee went on to reveal how she had to throw out two men from her house after they misused her household stuff and left her in debt.

“Late last year, i kicked out 2 grown men from my home! I have heard a few complaints that they were suffering in my homes! Who was suffering them yet i don’t even live in those homes. I am also suffering in the planes and hotels, running away from poverty! They could not even clean the instead, they threw them away, workers could not touch them they could not be told anything, they are msanii. I took them to driving schools, i haven’t seen the license until now. Bed sheets or towels they used. Come December, i and my children hardly had towels or bed sheets to use , i had to shop afresh.One of them was to shoot a music video, i asked him to go get clothes for the video from a friend of mine who sells cloths before we shot the video i fell ill and got admitted. He ended up using the cloths for his showbiz, and before i knew it, i was slapped with the bill before the video was shot and all the clothes already on shoshomedia. I arrived in my home and not even the poultry was attended too, most died and the farm was all bushy, which had food that i planted myself for them, so in peace.I released them with a lot of pain in my heart, gave them money and ask them to leave me in peace” she added

Steven Bergwijn the hero on debut as Spurs beat 10-man Manchester City

Steven Bergwijn’s debut goal helped Tottenham to a remarkable 2-0 win over 10-man Manchester City on Sunday to breathe new life into their challenge for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho’s men had been completely outplayed for the first hour, but were kept in the game by City’s profligacy and Hugo Lloris’s first-half penalty save from Ilkay Gundogan.

However, Oleksandr Zinchenko’s sending off changed the course of the game as Spurs scored with their first two shots on goal through Bergwijn and Son Heung-min.

Victory lifts Spurs up to fifth, just four points off fourth-placed Chelsea.

A sixth league defeat of the season for City sees Liverpool remain 22 points clear at the top and within touching distance of their first league title for 30 years.

This was arguably the least anticipated of Mourinho and Pep Guardiola’s 23 meetings as opposing managers, but it resorted to type as the Portuguese set up Spurs to defend deep, while City monopolised possession.

The visitors could have been out of sight by halftime as in a recurring theme of their season, the champions were wasteful in front of goal.

Lloris was making just his third appearance since returning from a long-term layoff due to a dislocated elbow, but the French No 1 was back to his best to keep his side level at halftime.

He turned Sergio Aguero’s low shot onto the post before the Argentine was chopped down in the area by Serge Aurier.

Referee Mike Dean initially waved play on, but with no break in play for a few minutes he eventually stopped the game after being told to give a penalty by VAR.

City’s dreadful run from the spot continued as Gundogan joined Gabriel Jesus and Sterling in failing to convert in recent weeks as his low effort was parried by Lloris.

Sterling then pounced on the rebound and went down over Lloris, but no second penalty was awarded and Sterling also escaped the possibility of a second booking for diving.

Gundogan was the guilty party again minutes into the second period when he hooked over with the goal gaping after a calamity of errors in the Spurs defence saw Lloris collide with Japhet Tanganga.

However, the game was decided in three minutes just after the hour mark.

Zinchenko was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Harry Winks as Tottenham launched a counter-attack.

At that point City had attempted 14 shots on goal to Tottenham’s none, but the hosts only needed one.

Bergwijn, signed earlier this week from PSV Eindhoven, capped a dream debut as he chested down Lucas Moura’s pass and volleyed past Ederson.

“As a little kid I wanted to be here and play in the Premier League, so to score on my debut is unbelievable,” said Bergwijn.

Eight minutes later, Spurs were out of sight when Son, who scored three times in a famous Champions League quarterfinal win over City last season, was the scourge of City again with a fine low finish from Tanguy Ndombele’s pass.

The event which went down on 1st February, was also hit with many controversies with many alleging that Kenyan journalists were kicked put of the event.Prior to the event, her man, Diamond Platnumz flew back home to attend to a ‘family emergency’ and missed the event all together.
The event which marked the launch of her Extended play dubbed ‘DonnatellatheEP’ also did not meet fan’s expectations.


Many who attended the gig took to social media to complain arguing that the lass looked like she was not well prepared for the gig.
Tanasha is now saying she could do better if she had enough time to prepare for her performance.

“Could be better, but for a first with only 2 days rehearsals. i did my best! I know next time will keep getting better! 🙏❤” read Tanasha’s response after a fan asked her what she thought about her performance.
Many however still argue that, since she has been promoting the gig for an entire month, the least she could have done is to wow the crowd.

Thug Shot Seven Times By Police, Recovers And Is Back To Crime

By Claret Adhiambo

Undercover cop Hessy Wa Dandora is in hot pursuit of a suspected notorious thug who was once sprayed with several bullets but managed to recover and is now back in crime.

The suspect known as Duncan Ochieng was once shot six times last year by police officers in Dandora but did not die.

Hessy says that the incident happened after Ochieng fired a bullet at police officers who were pursuing him for robbery.

“The incident took place late last year within Dandora, it was around 2am. On that day, he fired one bullet at police officers then akapatana nazo zile mzito then jumped into Nairobi, izo mashimo zikajaa maji ya sewage but the guy survived, ” wrote Hessy.

According to Hessy, the suspect did not even rest. He says that he instead extended his areas of operation from Dandora to Sunton and Kasarani areas.

Its very unfortunate that he’s still alive, coz am sure he will be back soon and more lethal. Very unfortunate! ” he further wrote.

Word on the street has it that thugs have always sought the help of witch-doctors to protect themselves from the police and bullets.

One reformed thug who spoke to Ghetto Radio says that some witch doctors visited by these thugs live in Nairobi while others are operating from the countryside.

Incidents of police officers recovering juju paraphernalia from bodies of these suspects have also been witnessed in the country.

Some thugs have however always sought divine intervention before even going for robbery missions.

This is seen as most have always switched religion from Christianity to Muslim, a situation that once saw a Muslim Kadhi in Majengo slums in Nairobi area state that he will never preside over a burial of a slain suspected thug.

Gospel singer Kevin Bahati known synonymously as Bahat has finally cleared the air on the controversy surrounding him and Peter Blessing.

In a video shared on his YouTube Channel, Bahati for the first time disclosed that he had Peter Blessing arrested to counter Blessing’s demand letter that had been served to him through his lawyers from Karanja, Mbatiey and Associates Advocates .

According to the EMB President, Peter was the first one to serve him a letter, demanding a total of Sh1 Million shillings as royalties from the songs he recorded while at his recording label.

“We are in the knowledge that his songs are hit songs and they have accumulated millions across various platforms like Skiza. To preclude acrimony, our initial instructions are that our client be paid amount of Ksh 1, 000, 000/- within the next (14) days. Take notice that within Fourteen (14) days from the date of this letter, if you fail to pay the said Ksh 1, 000, 000 to our client as demanded, out of instructions are to institute legal proceedings against you in a Court of law without any further reference to you and at your own peril as to costs and all consequences attend thereto” reads part of the letter from the Karanja, Mbatiey and Associates Advocates to Bahati.

Bahati revealed that Blessing did not officially terminate his contract with EMB records before announcing that he was leaving.

The singer also revealed that Blessing’s songs had not made much money at EMB to warrant being paid one million.

According to Bahati, Peter Blessing’s songs only accumulated Ksh.507 on music platform Skiza.

“Guys I had no power, kwanza huyu amedemand pesa hatujawahi make na music yake. On Skiza tunes alone since August when his first song was uploaded Blessing had only made Sh507. But out there nimejitajirisha na pesa yake. I was unable to stop the management form pursuing the rule of law because there is a contract signed, agreed and commissioned. The reason we had to start the case was the only way I could proof that there is breach of contract. The other boys breached the contract but I never acted, they know.” He said

Bahati also added that the young singer was incited by the uncle to exit EMB records

“We had agreed that if there is an exit we do it formerly, come write a termination letter, talk to his uncle, but before we meet he was told Bahati ni vitisho tu. A contract unless you exit the formal way, he kutrend yote, hata hawezi imba, so ant time they are ready they can contact my legal team so that we get a solution from there” he added

On February 28th, Blessing was released on a cash bail of Sh200K, after being sued by Bahati on grounds of obtaining Sh2, 039, 000 through false pretense while at EMB Records.

Manchester United told they can no longer attract world’s best strikers

Former Chelsea and Tottenham striker Eidur Gudjohnsen believes Manchester United’s signing of Odion Ighalo on loan demonstrates that they are no longer an attractive proposition for the very best forwards.

United were linked with a whole host of top strikers during the January transfer window, including PSG’s Edinson Cavani and Moussa Dembele of Lyon, but ended up making a shock move for former Watford player Ighalo, who they signed from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season.

Gudjohnsen said the Ighalo deal smelled of desperation, and shows that United can no longer attract world-class talent.

He added: “I don’t think any of the best strikers are eager to join United anymore.”

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink says Ighalo, who has played in China since January 2017, is unlikely to have even been a third choice target for United.

“He must be the luckiest man! Going to China, being away from Europe nobody seeing him for two and a half years since he was at Watford and then getting a loan move at United,” he said.

“It says how far behind United are from Liverpool, Manchester City and even Chelsea. They have got a big job ahead.

“They needed somebody in. I think he was not their number one and I would be surprised if he was their number two or three as well.

“He is getting an opportunity and he will definitely get minutes and we will see if he can do it.”

Hasselbaink also says United’s struggles in the transfer market are even harder to understand after they sold Romelu Lukaku last summer and loaned Alexis Sanchez both to Inter Milan.

He added: “They knew that they needed a new striker for a long time. I don’t know how much money that they have but it is Manchester United.

“Why, if you need goals straight away, are you not throwing money at [Danny] Ings for instance? He is flying is at the moment.

“Or [Raul] Jimenez at Wolves – throw money at that. You were in the market for [Erling Braut] Haaland. He chose Dortmund!

Former Harambee Starlets and Professional Football Player at Werder Bremen FC Doreen Nabwire has lauded the Federation for supporting the Women in Soccer.

In the period of 2016, Harambee Starlets have qualified and played in the African Women Cup of Nations (Awcon), reached the penultimate round of 2020 Olympics qualifiers, and won the 2019 Cecafa Senior Women Championship.

Speaking to Ghetto Radio Sports Nabwire who was the first Woman to play professional Football in Europe has said that she counts herself lucky as there was no support for the girls back then.

“Getting a chance to play professional football in Europe was not possible as there was no league running, the national team was only constituted a few days to a match a situation that is not conducive for the sport,” she said.

“To make matters worse we only met once in a year for national team assignments,” the former FC Zwolle from Netherlands and 1 FC Köln from Germany lamented.

Doreen who is the Women’s Football Development Officer said that consistency has given the girls exposure that has gotten them opportunities to move abroad.

Among the ladies that have moved abroad include midfielder Vivian Corazon Odhiambo, who joined Atlético Madrid Women’s Team.

The Spanish team offered Vivian a two-year deal after influential performances for Harambee Starlets during the Tokyo 2020 qualifiers.

Goalkeeper Annedy Kundu and Defender Ruth Ingosi landed professional deals in Cyprus.

Kundu had a stellar performance in the 2019 Cecafa Women’s Championship having not conceded a goal in competition, which earned her the golden glove award.

The two left the country on Friday, January 17 to join women’s side Lakatamia FC on a three-year deal.

Mwanahalima Dogo is another prolific player who has been very key in the National team in recent days has becoming one of the top players in the national women’s football team on the verge of joining Swedish top-flight side Djurgardens IF DFF.

The Starlets striker will undergo trials at the club.

The team under the tutelage of Coach David Ouma Ouma, are now in preparation for the forthcoming 2020 African Women Cup of Nations in March.
