Ah,a cold night is here.when all you want to do is wrap yourself in a quilt and grab some warm coffee..but i think that isn't true but only what you would have us believe.Me think all you crave is sex..a hot one for the this cold evening!No wonder its no surprise that in the cold days is when ladies can truly feel  sexiest, as a Polish study found that men find women more attractive in cold days than usual.Or Is it the increased coverage of skin that cold clothing provides that gets the imagination going?

So what are you going to do with your cold weather sexual upswing?

I’m now starting to understand why the MPs were complaining that the Governors are small presidents.
It’s simple: they are.
We have been paying attention to their cry for Prados and entertainment allowances, yet their real power is manifested in their offices.
Lets use Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua as the case study.
For a start, there’s a Governor’s chair. Almost similar to the presidential chair we’ve all come to know. Small president?


At his office, he has a replica of those Harambee house entrance steps.


Did you notice the podium is his and his alone?
Even more…



When it comes to holding talks, The Kenyan Presidency is too low for Mutua, he has gone inters. Obama style.


Here are some more powerful photos from Machakos.




Even the sheiks cometh..


Ambassadors are also streaming in.

And of course the small president and the overall president sometimes bump into each other.

So next time your pushed to the side of the road by a police siren, it may just be the Governor’s motorcade passing.

The One Thing Successful People Never Do


Success comes in all shapes and colours. You can be successful in your job and career but you can equally be successful in your marriage, at sports or a hobby. Whatever success you are after there is one thing all radically successful people have in common: Their ferocious drive and hunger for success makes them never give up.

Successful people (or the people talking or writing about them) often paint a picture of the perfect ascent to success. In fact, some of the most successful people in business, entertainment and sport have failed. Many have failed numerous times but they have never given up. Successful people are able to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and carry on trying.

I have collected some examples that should be an inspiration to anyone who aspires to be successful. They show that if you want to succeed you should expect failure along the way. I actually believe that failure can spur you on and make you try even harder. You could argue that every experience of failure increases the hunger for success. The truly successful won't be beaten, they take responsibility for failure, learn from it and start all over from a stronger position.

Let's look at some examples, including some of my fellow influencers:

Henry Ford - the pioneer of modern business entrepreneurs and the founder of the Ford Motor Company failed a number of times on his route to success. His first venture to build a motor car got dissolved a year and a half after it was started because the stockholders lost confidence in Henry Ford. Ford was able to gather enough capital to start again but a year later pressure from the financiers forced him out of the company again. Despite the fact that the entire motor industry had lost faith in him he managed to find another investor to start the Ford Motor Company - and the rest is history.

Walt Disney - one of the greatest business leaders who created the global Disney empire of film studios, theme parks and consumer products didn't start off successful. Before the great success came a number of failures. Believe it or not, Walt was fired from an early job at the Kansas City Star Newspaper because he was not creative enough! In 1922 he started his first company called Laugh-O-Gram. The Kansas based business would produce cartoons and short advertising films. In 1923, the business went bankrupt. Walt didn't give up, he packed up, went to Hollywood and started The Walt Disney Company.

Richard Branson - He is undoubtedly a successful entrepreneur with many successful ventures to his name including Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Music and Virgin Active. However, when he was 16 he dropped out of school to start a student magazine that didn't do as well as he hoped. He then set up a mail-order record business which did so well that he opened his own record shop called Virgin. Along the way to success came many other failed ventures including Virgin Cola, Virgin Vodka, Virgin Clothes, Virgin Vie, Virgin cards, etc.

Oprah Winfrey - who ranks No 1 in the Forbes celebrity list and is recognized as the queen of entertainment based on an amazing career as iconic talk show host, media proprietor, actress and producer. In her earlier career she had numerous set-backs, which included getting fired from her job as a reporter because she was 'unfit for television', getting fired as co-anchor for the 6 O'clock weekday news on WJZ-TV and being demoted to morning TV.

J.K. Rowling - who wrote the Harry Potter books selling over 400 million copies and making it one of the most successful and lucrative book and film series ever. However, like so many writers she received endless rejections from publishers. Many rejected her manuscript outright for reasons like 'it was far too long for a children's book' or because 'children books never make any money'. J.K. Rowling's story is even more inspiring because when she started she was a divorced single mum on welfare.

Bill Gates -co-founder and chairman of Microsoft set up a business called Traf-O-Data. The partnership between him, Paul Allen and Paul Gilbert was based on a good idea (to read data from roadway traffic counters and create automated reports on traffic flows) but a flawed business model that left the company with few customers. The company ran up losses between 1974 and 1980 before it was closed. However, Bill Gates and Paul Allen took what they learned and avoided those mistakes when they created the Microsoft empire.

History is littered with many more similar examples:

• Milton Hershey failed in his first two attempts to set up a confectionary business.
• H.J. Heinz set up a company that produced horseradish, which went bankrupt shortly after.
• Steve Jobs got fired from Apple, the company he founded. Only to return a few years later to turn it into one of the most successful companies ever.

So, the one thing successful people never do is: Give up! I hope that this is inspiration and motivation for everyone who aspires to be successful in whatever way they chose.

THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE

Your life doesn't just "happen." Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.


Habit 1: Life management

Habit 4 is think Win-Win. Think Win-Win isn't about being nice, nor is it a quick-fix technique. It is a character-based code for human interaction and collaboration. Most of us learn to base our self-worth on comparisons and competition. We think about succeeding in terms of someone else failing--that is, if I win, you lose; or if you win, I lose. Life becomes a zero-sum game. There is only so much pie to go around, and if you get a big piece, there is less for me; it's not fair, and I'm going to make sure you don't get anymore. We all play the game, but how much fun is it really?

Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good! Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood Communication is the most important skill in life. You spend years learning how to read and write, and years learning how to speak. But what about listening? What training have you had that enables you to listen so you really, deeply understand another human being? Probably none, right? Habit 6: Synergize To put it simply, synergy means "two heads are better than one." Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems. But it doesn't just happen on its own. It's a process, and through that process, people bring all their personal experience and expertise to the table. Together, they can produce far better results that they could individually. Synergy lets us discover jointly things we are much less likely to discover by ourselves. It is the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. One plus one equals three, or six, or sixty--you name it. Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. Here are some examples of activities: Physical: Beneficial eating, exercising, and resting Social/Emotional: Making social and meaningful connections with others Mental: Learning, reading, writing, and teaching Spiritual: Spending time in nature, expanding spiritual self through meditation, music, art, prayer, or service.     Have an effective week people as we all embrace SUCCESS.

The typical man’s fascination with breasts is intriguing to say the least. It remains a mystery why (straight) men go blank and speechless when they see a pair of boobs. Why are guys obsessed with the bulbous bags of fat from women’s chests? Endless psychological and physiological studies have been done but no one finding exclusively comes with an answer as to why men love breasts.

But one study has taken another angle to this men-breast relationship: Why do some men love big breasts while others are comfortable with less than average busts? Well, its because women with bigger busts appear ‘endowed’ and show ‘resources’ – factors that may allure to men with relative scarce resources, according to a study published on psychology today.

Bigger bosom is a blessing
Psychologists Viren Swami and Martin Tovee put their theory to the test by recruiting 266 men in Malaysia that varied in socioeconomic status.
“The participants were shown a series of five animated female figures that varied only in terms of breast size, and asked to rate them in terms of attractiveness,” states the psychology journal.
What were the findings? Apparently, men with a low socioeconomic status rated bigger breasts as more attractive than did middle-class men who in turn had a higher rating for big bosoms compared to men at the top of the socioeconomic ladder. Of course preferences are cultural so it would be interesting to have the same study in Africa and compare the results.

Hungry man needs some comfort
The second study sought to give credence to the scarcity/surplus theory by examining male university students at different times. These men were asked to participate in the study as they entered or exited campus dining halls during dinner. 66 students were shown the same animated female figures before they eat while another 58 students were subjected to the same experiment after dinner. The results showed the hungry men preferred bigger breasts substantially more than the satiated group.
“The second study was based on alternate evolutionary perspective on breast size, which maintains that it is a signal of a woman’s capacity to bear and nurture children,” explains the study by the psychologists.
Interestingly, another online study showed men that are not interested in fathering kids in the near future prefer smaller breasts.

Several Western governments and foundations are funding strikes that have blighted the Kenyan government, sources told the Jackal News, with an ambitious agenda of overthrowing the new administration.

Through their foreign development arms, the external funders from America and European Union are channelling their funds through local civil society groups that have been uncomfortable with the administration of President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is facing virulent opposition from Raila Odinga, the man who lost the 4 March general elections.

Last week, police investigators summoned Eliud Owalo, an aide to Odinga, and interrogated him on a raft of allegations broadly tied to his efforts to organise nationwide demonstrations that would culminate into a revolution to topple Kenyatta.

At the centre of funding the wild cat strikes include Elkana Odembo, the immediate former Kenyan ambassador to the United States, Boaz Waruka, the chairman of URAIA trust and Morris Odhiambo, the head of National Civil Society Congress, credible sources said.

On organizational level, virulently anti-government Bunge la Mwananchi (BULAMWA), Consumer Federation of Kenya (COFEK), Civil Action Plan and Coalition For Constitution Implementation are believed to have received a large amount of money to fan the strikes.
Last week, teachers ended their three-week strike, the latest in a series of agonizing industrial go-slows that have blighted the Kenyatta administration, barely three months in office.
Anti-government forces have thrown their weight behind the strikes, leaving many social analysts wondering if there were some external forces pushing a political agenda in Kenya, a nation of about 42 million people whose strategic impose to the world cannot be overstated.

n the America’s front, the United States and Canada, through their international development arms – US Aid for International Development (USAID) and Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) are pumping millions of shillings or perhaps dollars to bolster open defiance in the name of funding the civil society, sources said.

In Europe, the usually reticent Scandinavian nations, Denmark and Sweden — known for generosity and soft spot for Third World “projects” are sending money through their respective development arms, Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA).

The United Nations Development Programme, the richest UN agency known for working with the civil society in the developing world, is reportedly dishing out cash through a serious of local initiatives packaged as promoting democracy.

The Ford Foundation, East Africa and Open Society Initiative Easy Africa (OSIEA), two mercenary outfits that routinely adopt “cloak and dagger” strategy, are also pouring funds into several dubious initiatives, but their real agenda is to create conditions necessary for revolution in Kenya.

Its public knowledge that OSIEA has been working in cahoots with some civil society activists to ensure President Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto – both facing crimes against humanity charges — do not escape the ICC dragnet.

Last week, Criminal Investigations Department (CID) summoned Owalo, the man who helped sink the Raila Odinga presidential ambitions, and interrogated him on allegations that he was among a group of people plotting to destabilize the country by pushing for an Egypt-style revolution.

Other allegations include, holding secret meetings to fan chaos, plotting to provoke police and trigger running battles, incorporating churches and civil society in his anti-government schemes, working with embassies and diplomats to use the ICC issue to fan bad blood between foreign nations and Kenyan president and his deputy.

In addition, police are probing a dubious group, March Fourth Movement (MFM) — initials for the day Kenyan voted in Kenyatta — with “a plot to create civil unrest and plot nationwide demonstrations which will lead to discrediting the government,” and spark a Egyptian-style revolution.

Coincidentally, former Odinga’s personal assistant, Dave Arunga, is Kenya’s ambassador to Egypt, the cradle of Arab civilization that does is struggling to define democracy.

On the same breathe, sources told the Jackal News human rights activists, John Nyongesa, Ken Wafula – who are suspected of coaching ICC witnesses — met with a relative of Odinga, nominated MP Isaac Mwaura, Kibra MP, Ken Okoth, Sabaoti MP, Chris Wamalwa in the Intercontinental Hotel with the agenda of pushing for revolution that would topple the government. The meeting was reportedly facilitated by activists George  Githongo and Timothy Njoya, whose anti-government stance is known.

The estimate amount of cash that Western governments and agencies are pumping was not immediately clear.

Since President Kenyatta announced his presidential ambitions, many western governments threw their weight behind Odinga and started funding the civil society to use “any means necessary” to block him from vying for the top office, but all their pre-election schemes were scorched.

Stung by the needless interference in Kenyan affairs, the electorate stolidly filed for hours and voted in Kenyatta into office, offering the arrogant schemers in the West and their local puppets a reminder that Kenya might be a poor nation, but its people have a right to elect its leaders.

Since then, the new government faced an avalanche of obstacles designed to undermine the president, who has responded by focusing on his mandate offered by the people of Kenya and the constitution.

F3 PANGO

A sister club to the renowned Florida pack of night clubs, its located along Moi Avenue in the same building that Florida 2000 is located. Actually you use the same entrance to F2.After 11pm, the music is usually very loud. with jungus and hindu guys preferring this club. This is definitely a high end joint, Sudanese are also spotted making it rain here.it is a sight to behold watching the strippers work those golden poles.

TAHITI CLUB

Another club located along river road. Its a relatively small club with the balcony serving as the VIP section. The music is loud, so loud that you can almost see you beer bottle moving around the table. The DJ is a cunt though. you might think that you are chilling somewhere in Kampala when he decides to go Ham on Ugandan songs.. The strippers are gorgeous [well at least a majority] At around 11pm, the strippers work the poles with bikinis and bras and as time goes, lose everything.

- SMALL WORLD STRIP CLUB

This joint should not even feature in the list. Its Quite popular though and hence i have to make a review about it. Located on a lane just off river road and on the 5th floor of an old building that has no lifts, this is a place you will certainly not visit twice.The first thing that you notice after entering the club is this huge hall with terrible lighting. The joint looks like a church hall, only that there are counters and stripping poles. The VIP section is also a shitty area, but when you are paying 1 sok to enter, you can’t complain. 

So there you have it..

Trouble started almost immediately after the declaration,Kenyans didn't take it lightly and trolled the choice of Miss world Kenya,Wangui Gitonga as being a bad choice as compared to her predecessor Shamim Nabil. Did anything get wrong or was everything just okay? We went behind scenes and got hold of an insider who is a close source to the panel and well acquitted with the whole process and knew all that went on behind the scenes. Talking exclusively to Nairobi Exposed,the source spilled the beans and exposed all that was going on behind scenes.



Shamim

Judging from the audition, one could tell the entire process was not fair and a mess . Kenya has a number beautiful ladies, very attractive indeed . But they were, either denied chances to show up or prove themselves. Audition were only done in three cities, Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu. Is that the whole Kenya or even a third Kenya? You need to learn how audition are being done in other countries I believe the audition judges were so unfair and Moody. Take for example, Dorothy Oliech, she was pregnant by then. What the h*ll, you all know what pregnant women attitudes are especially to their fellow ladies more so if the ladies are beautiful. Dorothy runs a modeling agency called Mochez. Those who have worked with her, have always complained of her favourism. They will tell you who she is. Well, Odada Okello, former Mr. Kenya in a panel of beautiful girls? You got to be kidding me. I am Not a hater, he is good but the Criteria of choosing miss Kenya was far much different from that of Mr.Kenya. In fact, you can't even compare and contrast.



Miss World Kenya 2013

Judging from this list of the Top 10 finalist;

•Wangoi Gitonga
•Leah Tesfermariam
•Sofia Umuiza
•Alice Mutuli
•Yvonne Amondi
•Ubah Musa
•Tabitha Maina
•Purity Kadhure
•Janet Tianda
•Paynnet Nyawara

1st runners up, has Ethiopian identity 2nd runners up is a Rwandese Taita born and imagine they are competing for Miss Kenya.

Miss Kenya organizer are a let down. Terry the C.E.O Ashley and Franchise holder Miss Kenya needs to think twice. She has been influencing judges to abide by her own decision. This is killing the entire competition. The final judges,damn,that was still a mess. It is beauty by purpose not beauty by wish or command. I remember when Susan Anyango became miss Kenya, Terry didn't like it but trust me,the judges were super. By then, Nestle who were the main sponsors, had to flew in judges from outside including former Miss India.Terry ended up giving, the car for Miss Kenya to 1 st runners up for two weeks, something which made Nestle the main Sponsor to pull out. Take a look who were this year's Judges, common people you know, and friends to the C.E.O. what do you expect if they go against The Boss' will? Judges including, Noni Gathoni, hahaha.from wedding show to miss Kenya Judge, damn it. Sally From AFAD, Reeny, Odada Okelo, and Francis.where is Former miss Miss Kenya,? You decided to put her back stage instead of her being on the panel.

Choreography done by Tony was good, you did your job, Doesn't matter who to be trained . In summary, this year Miss Kenya representative, really shocked, the entire country. Let's expect more of disappointment to come this August at Indonesia.

RECOMMENDATIONS - Audition need to be done in the entire country not only in 3 cities, it's their(girls ) rights to be auditioned

- Don't take a pregnant woman who are almost giving birth to be on the judging panel. Pregnant women have issues with beauty!


- The Organizers,especially madam C.E.O let it be unknown, and let the judges do their own job.

- confirm with the girls their true identity. The competition is Miss Kenya not Miss Eastern Africa.

Habit 4 is think Win-Win. Think Win-Win isn't about being nice, nor is it a quick-fix technique. It is a character-based code for human interaction and collaboration. Most of us learn to base our self-worth on comparisons and competition. We think about succeeding in terms of someone else failing--that is, if I win, you lose; or if you win, I lose. Life becomes a zero-sum game. There is only so much pie to go around, and if you get a big piece, there is less for me; it's not fair, and I'm going to make sure you don't get anymore. We all play the game, but how much fun is it really?

Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good! Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood Communication is the most important skill in life. You spend years learning how to read and write, and years learning how to speak. But what about listening? What training have you had that enables you to listen so you really, deeply understand another human being? Probably none, right? Habit 6: Synergize To put it simply, synergy means "two heads are better than one." Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems. But it doesn't just happen on its own. It's a process, and through that process, people bring all their personal experience and expertise to the table. Together, they can produce far better results that they could individually. Synergy lets us discover jointly things we are much less likely to discover by ourselves. It is the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. One plus one equals three, or six, or sixty--you name it. Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. Here are some examples of activities: Physical: Beneficial eating, exercising, and resting Social/Emotional: Making social and meaningful connections with others Mental: Learning, reading, writing, and teaching Spiritual: Spending time in nature, expanding spiritual self through meditation, music, art, prayer, or service.     Have an effective week people as we all embrace SUCCESS.

The typical man’s fascination with breasts is intriguing to say the least. It remains a mystery why (straight) men go blank and speechless when they see a pair of boobs. Why are guys obsessed with the bulbous bags of fat from women’s chests? Endless psychological and physiological studies have been done but no one finding exclusively comes with an answer as to why men love breasts.

But one study has taken another angle to this men-breast relationship: Why do some men love big breasts while others are comfortable with less than average busts? Well, its because women with bigger busts appear ‘endowed’ and show ‘resources’ – factors that may allure to men with relative scarce resources, according to a study published on psychology today.

Bigger bosom is a blessing
Psychologists Viren Swami and Martin Tovee put their theory to the test by recruiting 266 men in Malaysia that varied in socioeconomic status.
“The participants were shown a series of five animated female figures that varied only in terms of breast size, and asked to rate them in terms of attractiveness,” states the psychology journal.
What were the findings? Apparently, men with a low socioeconomic status rated bigger breasts as more attractive than did middle-class men who in turn had a higher rating for big bosoms compared to men at the top of the socioeconomic ladder. Of course preferences are cultural so it would be interesting to have the same study in Africa and compare the results.

Hungry man needs some comfort
The second study sought to give credence to the scarcity/surplus theory by examining male university students at different times. These men were asked to participate in the study as they entered or exited campus dining halls during dinner. 66 students were shown the same animated female figures before they eat while another 58 students were subjected to the same experiment after dinner. The results showed the hungry men preferred bigger breasts substantially more than the satiated group.
“The second study was based on alternate evolutionary perspective on breast size, which maintains that it is a signal of a woman’s capacity to bear and nurture children,” explains the study by the psychologists.
Interestingly, another online study showed men that are not interested in fathering kids in the near future prefer smaller breasts.

Several Western governments and foundations are funding strikes that have blighted the Kenyan government, sources told the Jackal News, with an ambitious agenda of overthrowing the new administration.

Through their foreign development arms, the external funders from America and European Union are channelling their funds through local civil society groups that have been uncomfortable with the administration of President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is facing virulent opposition from Raila Odinga, the man who lost the 4 March general elections.

Last week, police investigators summoned Eliud Owalo, an aide to Odinga, and interrogated him on a raft of allegations broadly tied to his efforts to organise nationwide demonstrations that would culminate into a revolution to topple Kenyatta.

At the centre of funding the wild cat strikes include Elkana Odembo, the immediate former Kenyan ambassador to the United States, Boaz Waruka, the chairman of URAIA trust and Morris Odhiambo, the head of National Civil Society Congress, credible sources said.

On organizational level, virulently anti-government Bunge la Mwananchi (BULAMWA), Consumer Federation of Kenya (COFEK), Civil Action Plan and Coalition For Constitution Implementation are believed to have received a large amount of money to fan the strikes.
Last week, teachers ended their three-week strike, the latest in a series of agonizing industrial go-slows that have blighted the Kenyatta administration, barely three months in office.
Anti-government forces have thrown their weight behind the strikes, leaving many social analysts wondering if there were some external forces pushing a political agenda in Kenya, a nation of about 42 million people whose strategic impose to the world cannot be overstated.

n the America’s front, the United States and Canada, through their international development arms – US Aid for International Development (USAID) and Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) are pumping millions of shillings or perhaps dollars to bolster open defiance in the name of funding the civil society, sources said.

In Europe, the usually reticent Scandinavian nations, Denmark and Sweden — known for generosity and soft spot for Third World “projects” are sending money through their respective development arms, Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA).

The United Nations Development Programme, the richest UN agency known for working with the civil society in the developing world, is reportedly dishing out cash through a serious of local initiatives packaged as promoting democracy.

The Ford Foundation, East Africa and Open Society Initiative Easy Africa (OSIEA), two mercenary outfits that routinely adopt “cloak and dagger” strategy, are also pouring funds into several dubious initiatives, but their real agenda is to create conditions necessary for revolution in Kenya.

Its public knowledge that OSIEA has been working in cahoots with some civil society activists to ensure President Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto – both facing crimes against humanity charges — do not escape the ICC dragnet.

Last week, Criminal Investigations Department (CID) summoned Owalo, the man who helped sink the Raila Odinga presidential ambitions, and interrogated him on allegations that he was among a group of people plotting to destabilize the country by pushing for an Egypt-style revolution.

Other allegations include, holding secret meetings to fan chaos, plotting to provoke police and trigger running battles, incorporating churches and civil society in his anti-government schemes, working with embassies and diplomats to use the ICC issue to fan bad blood between foreign nations and Kenyan president and his deputy.

In addition, police are probing a dubious group, March Fourth Movement (MFM) — initials for the day Kenyan voted in Kenyatta — with “a plot to create civil unrest and plot nationwide demonstrations which will lead to discrediting the government,” and spark a Egyptian-style revolution.

Coincidentally, former Odinga’s personal assistant, Dave Arunga, is Kenya’s ambassador to Egypt, the cradle of Arab civilization that does is struggling to define democracy.

On the same breathe, sources told the Jackal News human rights activists, John Nyongesa, Ken Wafula – who are suspected of coaching ICC witnesses — met with a relative of Odinga, nominated MP Isaac Mwaura, Kibra MP, Ken Okoth, Sabaoti MP, Chris Wamalwa in the Intercontinental Hotel with the agenda of pushing for revolution that would topple the government. The meeting was reportedly facilitated by activists George  Githongo and Timothy Njoya, whose anti-government stance is known.

The estimate amount of cash that Western governments and agencies are pumping was not immediately clear.

Since President Kenyatta announced his presidential ambitions, many western governments threw their weight behind Odinga and started funding the civil society to use “any means necessary” to block him from vying for the top office, but all their pre-election schemes were scorched.

Stung by the needless interference in Kenyan affairs, the electorate stolidly filed for hours and voted in Kenyatta into office, offering the arrogant schemers in the West and their local puppets a reminder that Kenya might be a poor nation, but its people have a right to elect its leaders.

Since then, the new government faced an avalanche of obstacles designed to undermine the president, who has responded by focusing on his mandate offered by the people of Kenya and the constitution.

F3 PANGO

A sister club to the renowned Florida pack of night clubs, its located along Moi Avenue in the same building that Florida 2000 is located. Actually you use the same entrance to F2.After 11pm, the music is usually very loud. with jungus and hindu guys preferring this club. This is definitely a high end joint, Sudanese are also spotted making it rain here.it is a sight to behold watching the strippers work those golden poles.

TAHITI CLUB

Another club located along river road. Its a relatively small club with the balcony serving as the VIP section. The music is loud, so loud that you can almost see you beer bottle moving around the table. The DJ is a cunt though. you might think that you are chilling somewhere in Kampala when he decides to go Ham on Ugandan songs.. The strippers are gorgeous [well at least a majority] At around 11pm, the strippers work the poles with bikinis and bras and as time goes, lose everything.

- SMALL WORLD STRIP CLUB

This joint should not even feature in the list. Its Quite popular though and hence i have to make a review about it. Located on a lane just off river road and on the 5th floor of an old building that has no lifts, this is a place you will certainly not visit twice.The first thing that you notice after entering the club is this huge hall with terrible lighting. The joint looks like a church hall, only that there are counters and stripping poles. The VIP section is also a shitty area, but when you are paying 1 sok to enter, you can’t complain. 

So there you have it..

Trouble started almost immediately after the declaration,Kenyans didn't take it lightly and trolled the choice of Miss world Kenya,Wangui Gitonga as being a bad choice as compared to her predecessor Shamim Nabil. Did anything get wrong or was everything just okay? We went behind scenes and got hold of an insider who is a close source to the panel and well acquitted with the whole process and knew all that went on behind the scenes. Talking exclusively to Nairobi Exposed,the source spilled the beans and exposed all that was going on behind scenes.



Shamim

Judging from the audition, one could tell the entire process was not fair and a mess . Kenya has a number beautiful ladies, very attractive indeed . But they were, either denied chances to show up or prove themselves. Audition were only done in three cities, Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu. Is that the whole Kenya or even a third Kenya? You need to learn how audition are being done in other countries I believe the audition judges were so unfair and Moody. Take for example, Dorothy Oliech, she was pregnant by then. What the h*ll, you all know what pregnant women attitudes are especially to their fellow ladies more so if the ladies are beautiful. Dorothy runs a modeling agency called Mochez. Those who have worked with her, have always complained of her favourism. They will tell you who she is. Well, Odada Okello, former Mr. Kenya in a panel of beautiful girls? You got to be kidding me. I am Not a hater, he is good but the Criteria of choosing miss Kenya was far much different from that of Mr.Kenya. In fact, you can't even compare and contrast.



Miss World Kenya 2013

Judging from this list of the Top 10 finalist;

•Wangoi Gitonga
•Leah Tesfermariam
•Sofia Umuiza
•Alice Mutuli
•Yvonne Amondi
•Ubah Musa
•Tabitha Maina
•Purity Kadhure
•Janet Tianda
•Paynnet Nyawara

1st runners up, has Ethiopian identity 2nd runners up is a Rwandese Taita born and imagine they are competing for Miss Kenya.

Miss Kenya organizer are a let down. Terry the C.E.O Ashley and Franchise holder Miss Kenya needs to think twice. She has been influencing judges to abide by her own decision. This is killing the entire competition. The final judges,damn,that was still a mess. It is beauty by purpose not beauty by wish or command. I remember when Susan Anyango became miss Kenya, Terry didn't like it but trust me,the judges were super. By then, Nestle who were the main sponsors, had to flew in judges from outside including former Miss India.Terry ended up giving, the car for Miss Kenya to 1 st runners up for two weeks, something which made Nestle the main Sponsor to pull out. Take a look who were this year's Judges, common people you know, and friends to the C.E.O. what do you expect if they go against The Boss' will? Judges including, Noni Gathoni, hahaha.from wedding show to miss Kenya Judge, damn it. Sally From AFAD, Reeny, Odada Okelo, and Francis.where is Former miss Miss Kenya,? You decided to put her back stage instead of her being on the panel.

Choreography done by Tony was good, you did your job, Doesn't matter who to be trained . In summary, this year Miss Kenya representative, really shocked, the entire country. Let's expect more of disappointment to come this August at Indonesia.

RECOMMENDATIONS - Audition need to be done in the entire country not only in 3 cities, it's their(girls ) rights to be auditioned

- Don't take a pregnant woman who are almost giving birth to be on the judging panel. Pregnant women have issues with beauty!


- The Organizers,especially madam C.E.O let it be unknown, and let the judges do their own job.

- confirm with the girls their true identity. The competition is Miss Kenya not Miss Eastern Africa.
