‘Sanitize you’re phones too’ Doctor advises about coronavirus

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

A flood of questions met Dr Oluga who visited the Classic 105 studios to talk more about the coronavirus pandemic.

Dr Oluga is the Secretary General & CEO – Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists & Dentists’ Union (KMPDU) and spoke with Maina to allay fears Kenyans have.

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a new virus. Symptoms include fever, coughing, sore throat and shortness of breath.

The virus can spread from person to person, but good hygiene can prevent infection.

Here are key pointers from Dr oluga:

One common fact that stood out is wash your hands with soap and water

Sanitizers are an alternative what’s important is washing your hands with soap and water

Coronavirus will help us build our healthcare system. So we will use this pandemic for our good. So that in the future we are able to handle such issues better #MainaAndKingangi

As much as children love to play make sure they avoid playing in crowded place #MainaAndKingangi

I will insist on the fact that people should wash their hands #MainaAndKingangi

Hilarious confessions by Kenyans parents in tears over homeschooling 

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

 

It’s safe to say that homeschooling is not going well in Kenyan based on the confession of parents who called in to Classic 105 on Friday morning.

“She is Jamaican and I have already paid her dowry” Willy Paul says about light-skin woman

Parents are facing a whole new world with children being home from school.

And because of the homeschooling process, many of them have realized just how grateful they are for teachers.

Mwalimu said ‘Frankly speaking we need to respect and check on them once in a while, wametutoa mbali’

To which Maina said ‘Amen’

Here are hilarious confessions of how things are going:

‘Stupid’ Maina Kageni blasts Magufuli for ‘corona is the devil’ remarks

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

Kenyans are sharing stories how one church goer is linked to hundreds of infections of other worshipers, to castigate those who turned up in church yesterday.

Pictures of churches full of worshipers horrified many, with Kenyans wondering why we are defying orders to keep away from gatherings.

This formed the basis of the morning conversation where Classic Maina Kageni was visibly upset with Tanzanian President John Magufuli for telling worshipers to keep congregating.

In a video Magifuli attended church and said

we are not closing places of worship. That’s where there is true healing. Corona is the devil and it cannot survive in the body of Jesus.

President Magufuli claimed that Jesus heals covid-19, saying that true healing is in churches and mosques. Hence Tanzanians can worship as usual.

This statement upset Maina who blasted the President saying

Magufuli is a stupid president, a stupid man

Mwalimu Kingangi asked him if he was worried he will be banned from the country to which Maina responded

Nonsense, that is a whole President, even the Italian president said I give up, why don’t we take it seriously as Africans? Why were churches full on Sunday and why were bars full on Saturday, why do we have leaders who go manga mangain?

‘I wanna have a baby…’ Tedd Josiah leaks conversation with late wife, Reginah

He continued

churches had the opportunity to lead. God is not in a building he is omnipresent, oh churches you blew a big chance to lead, Maina sadly added

I was not born to be a housewife! Tanasha defiantly tells critics

Posted on by Geoffrey Mbuthia

Tanasha Donna is has been on a roller-coaster the past two years since Diamond decided to lift her out of relative obscurity and into fame and notoriety that often come in equal measure.

With the increased scrutiny that her life has been subjected to, so has the criticism about her choices and decisions as a mother and a girlfriend.

The singer recently spoke on the Wilkings Podcast and re-iterated the type of woman that she was telling the host that she wouldn’t change who she was.

I have every reason to get married to her! Diamond says about Tanasha

She explained that people expected her to be a housewife, to dress, walk and talk in a certain way, something she wouldn’t conform to since she cannot change her life to please people.

“There are so many expectations. People will expect me to be a housewife. I was not born to be a housewife. He does not even want that either. He appreciates a woman who works hard and gets her own. They have this expectation that my whole life should be out there in the public I will put my creative life in the public. I’m not gonna put my personal life in the public. That’s always gonna be me. They also expect me to walk, talk and dress a certain way. But imma dress however the hell I feel like dressing. And talk the way I feel like talking and express myself because I’m not going to change who I am to please other people. If you cannot accept me for who I am, that’s a you problem that is not a me problem,” the former radio presenter said.

The mother of one disclosed that she had a thick skin because anyone in the music needed to have one. She added that it was important because people always have a lot of negative things to say about artistes.

“Any person who wants to make it in the music industry needs to have a thick skin there is no one person who has made it successfully in the music industry and has soft skin. You have to have thick skin, I’m sure Khaligraph has a thick skin, I’m sure Akothee has thick skin, I’m sure Diamond has a whole lot of thick skin.”

She finished off the interview by assuring her fans that they should expect a great year from her.

The one thing Kenyan men do that annoys women 

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

Every woman says a good Kenyan man is hard to find.

And it all boils down to the one thing they don’t do.

When a fella visits a woman’s house he must go with something.

Unfortunately, many Kenyan men turn up at a woman’s house empty handed, then place demands for food and a place to sleep after the nights activities.

Angry-Woman-And-Confused-Man-667390151

Like seriously, why would a man go to a woman’s house, where he doesn’t pay rent, knock on the door empty handed and expect a good time with her? It’s no wonder, women are playing the field.

On the morning conversation, Maina opened up the phone lines to men about allegations from women, that men are the ones who are cheap.

Mwalimu argues men are not cheap they just pretend. ‘Kenyan men have a lot of dignity, if you think they are cheap they are just pretending, and end up gaining’

Ladies have you ever encountered a cheap Kenyan man and it astounded you? Maina asked women.

This after on Wednesday a caller accused women of being the cheapest, that all they need to buy a Kenyan girl is a mzinga, and she falls for it.

Here are a sample of views from women about this annoying habit

Jennifer Kanyiri..

‘Sisi Wote Wajinga’ Maina and Kingangi react to King Kaka song

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

Kenyan rapper King Kaka has caused a storm with his poetic song ‘Wajinga Nyinyi’ in which accuses politicians of hoodwinking Kenyans and at the same time calls out Kenyans for being gullible.

This discussion trended on social media, and on Monday morning Classic hosts Maina Kageni and Mwalimu weighed in saying ‘sisi wote ni wajinga and we have learnt nothing from it’.

Maina wanted to know what has changed since and what we are going to do going forward about graft and being gullible voters in 2022.

Fine he has done the song, but what are we going to do about it as Kenyans. What are you going to change in terms of your behaviour, we all agree we are sick to the neck as Kenyans, but in 2022 we shall be there queuing with mtu wetu mentality, wajinga sisi,

To which Mwalimu Kingangi shared his simple thoughts

Tumemaliza kuongea

Maina added

It’s dejavu, we’ve been here before someone says something revolutionary and we did nothing, so wajinga nyinyi and then, coz we all need to make that change individually that can snowball into something national.

A woman called in saying

It’s like hell on earth, nothing changes, it’s just gone from worse to worse. For me I don’t vote because of mtu wetu, I try to check your profile and what I have heard about you, but sometimes you find you are on your own. We are not supposed to be tribalists. I don’t know why we recycle these people

Dear Classic 105 fam, what change are you going to make as an individual that will transform how we politik going forward? Drop your comments below.

‘He loves drama’ Maina and Kingangi weigh in on Sonko’s arrest

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

It is not a secret that Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko loves doing the most. He is so extra, that he publicizes what he does frequently on his social media.

The latest has been snaps of his gold dining table, that was a few days later followed by the most dramatic arrest of a public official Kenya has ever seen.

Classic’s Maina and Kingangi discussed this on Monday morning asking listeners to give their take on the arrest.

Maina prompted this with his own verdict saying.

What you saw on Friday was the tip of the iceberg. Expect alot more drama without a doubt

Mwalimu appeared to be amused adding that

his support on the ground is huge, adding that he was the third most voted Kenyan in the last general election showing how popular he is on the ground.

He can been seen refusing to get into the chopper in Voi, and made it an issue. Many Kenyans on Twitter wondered why he was resisting yet other Governors have been subjected to such treatment.

Starehe MP Jaguar wrote
Nothing is permanent…..All will be well Gov.

Meanwhile the Governor is urging followers to remain calm and not politicize the matter.

‘I was in debt I wanted to die’ Maina confesses

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

 

He lives the lifestyle of the rich and famous no one would think he has ever been in the deep end of things.

But Maina Kageni was once in debt, just like the rest of us and sadly contemplated death.

He confessed his deep thoughts to Kingangi saying

‘There was a time I was in a debt cycle you can die.

He sighed adding that

Bro have you ever been in a debt cycle you feel you can die? Kwanza now big debt cycles 

Kenyan men don’t like talking about how much in debt they are and it’s not any different fro Maina.

He shied away from saying how much in debt he was just shaking his head and deeply contemplating his life.

‘Big debt cycles, you know in the next two weeks someone is waiting for Sh1.5million aki eh, blood pressure so you take from Peter to pay Paul. Heeeh it’s a horrible way to live.

And when was this he was in debt because he has worked for a long time earning big bucks?

‘It was when I was young and stupid, he finished before moving on.

We don’t marry the woman or man of our dreams, Kenyans confess to Maina

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

With their spouses out of their earshot many Kenyans confessed to Maina Kageni that they are not married to their ideal spouse.

They spoke openly and comfortably that they settle for whoever is out there because there is no such things as a woman or man of your dreams.

Maina had to listen to lots of people fret and complain about general, run-of-the-mill marital woes, and he thought to himself that he is lucky not to be married.

He said ‘I can’t believe what I’m hearing’.

Co host Mwalimu said it is human nature to want a perfect marriage but the reality is that ‘there is no Mrs right’.

The same view was held by countless callers who said the perfect husband or wife is a myth, and we all need to snap out of our dream.

busia couple swap
One man said ‘I don’t believe there is a perfect person in this world, we give ourselves one reason to live with that lady, we have a thousand reasons why we can’t live with her, you make her to be your dreams.

A woman described the madness of the fantasy of a perfect man saying ‘You will never met him. You take what you have that mad man and live together. My husband is not the man of my dreams, but we try to live with each other, so hakuna msee perfect, you can wait for the rest of your life.’

Another male caller described his frustration with the thought of a perfect spouse noting that, ‘ Ati you are waiting for a perfect mate? You will wait forever. It’s only found in a dictionary, you just grab one and take each other slowly and that is how life goes, I am married to a woman who is not of my dreams. Because of the pressure from family to marry you just grab one and maintain it, ni kubaya, hakuna mrs perfect.‘

‘My husband washes me, plus my soiled knickers’ wife reveals

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

When you walk down the aisle, you take a vow to stick together through thick and thin.

It’s something we say but don’t really ponder for long because our wedding day is supposed to be happy, right?  So, what does it really look like to live out this vow?

That is exactly what one Kenyan man is doing, to the outrage of many.

He told Maina Kageni on Monday that he even washes her inner wear, especially when she wakes up late in a rush to scrub her panties. He says when he finds them when he get home before her, he will wash them for her, and put them outside to air. because she forgot to wash her panties, he helps her washing it. She cleans my boxers so why not?

pantylines.KOKOtv.000

In another scenario, a female caller shocked listeners on Wednesday with her tale of what her husband does for her that is so romantic.

She narrated

I have a man. He washes my panties, I don’t tell him to do it, he just wakes up washes his and mine, and when I’m cleaning the house he also helps. I hate ironing clothes, so he does so and even for our daughters, he doesn’t complain.

Cleaning floor using rag

Even when I’m sitting down at home, he cleans, this is a man I really appreciate I don’t have to tell him to do stuff. He also washes my panties, you know at times ladies soil their panties but he washes them. It’s not a matter of being controlled, there are men out there who are good, even when I’m sick he washes me, he takes a basin puts hot water, scrubs me and will serve me any food in bed.

My husband and I have blocked each other on Whatsapp

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

Feuding couples do the most to each other in anger.

A Kenyan couple has blocked each other on whatsapp. They have not taken a small break from each other, noooo, it’s permanent.

The wife disclosed the intimate details on Classic 105 where she claimed that they have a strained relationship.

She flew off the handle at his behaviour and has no regrets about blocking him.

Black-married-couple-down-low

What triggered this drama? She blames it all on not posting each other on social media.

We have blocked each other on whatsapp, he doesn’t even have one picture of mine and next year we are marking 8 years of marriage, he has never taken a picture of me, we have never taken a picture together on his phone? It hurts but unazoea tuu, unajibamba tuu na watoto wako

Why do crowds look on at someone in distress? Maina asks after Eastmatt assault video

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

Are we a nation of bystanders?

This past weekend, Kenyans were shocked at a video of a man slapping around a female employee at Eastmatt supermarket in Kajiado, as she sat behind the till.

The man is seen violently pushing her around, and the owner responded saying he has been suspended, following the assault.

KOT were angry and Classic’s Maina on Monday morning wondered why most of us stand by watching as couples or people fight in public, rather than help.

It turns out that the man is the supermarkets supervisor and is always beating employees, and a frustrated IT person leaked the video as revenge.

Maina and co-host Mwalimu Kingangi debated the matter saying it’s a habit Kenyans have to watch rather than help.

Maina said

what annoyed me was the way those men, they were just standing staring tuu, and you can’t do anything and why are Kenyans like that?

Mwalimu pointed out that people even take out their phones and record incidences to post on social media, to which Maina responded

You are seeing someone being beaten you and recording a video not helping, seriously! That’s a horrible habit.

Why don’t we help, was the question posed to listeners.

KOT have shared their experiences of being robbed, beaten in public and not one person came to help.

Maina and King’ang’i weigh in on Garissa women rep Subow’s abusive language

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

 

The obscene and foul language used by female Kenyan politicians has taken centre stage.

This is after Garissa woman rep Anab Subow called Raila Odinga uncircumcised.

In a video that has gone viral on Sunday, Subow is heard referring to Raila as a devil who is not circumcised.

Part of her speech reads

“Rebuke the devil….. this mzee called Baba and I don’t know whose baba he is. He is old but he is not circumcised. He might be baba but let him go to Bondo and be circumcised first. Whom does he think he is, why is he not getting old”.

Classic hosts Maina and Kingangi debated this on Tuesday morning conversation.

Maina was left speechless only managing to say ‘aki mdomo ya wanawake’, while Kingangi insisted that ‘they are showing their true colors’.

Kenyans have labelled the women leaders using verbal abuse as shameless.

The vicious slurs have been roundly condemned when listeners responded to Maina Kageni’s question if it is it the true representation of Kenyan women these days. Here are some views.

An upset man said,’ Can you imagine telling that woman to find your socks? huyo anawezakutafutia? But we are praying to God that all will be well, these career ladies have lost respect for men, they need to change because ile respect that was back in the day that is what we want.

A woman called and said, ‘huyu mwanamke amezaa? because there is no normal woman who can go to in public and talk like that. I think she needs a psyciatrist, coz no normal woman can talk trash like that in public, they are embarrassing women in Kenya,

another said,’ I am saddened by that woman’s comments’.

He took dowry by force after I said ‘No’ to marriage

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

 

Not many Kenyan women are hesitant about marriage, and so a confession by a city mum about her reason for rejecting a proposal sticks out.

I met my husband 12 years ago. I really didn’t want to formalize anything, and after nine years together and three children, he took the cows by force. He had to call my parents and take them there.. Personally I’m not a fan of formalizing

What’s the big deal you ask?

Weddings to the woman’s family are a big deal and in her case a proud dad’s moment to see his daughter walk down the aisle is about to be crushed.

Married

She told Maina Kageni on Friday that

‘I don’t think I care for it’.

But what then are her expectations in the relationship?

I think I will be comfortable at 50 because as a woman we should also learn to value ourselves because formalizing is like tying me putting me in a prison

When it comes to getting married, there’s no right or wrong answer since every person has to choose what’s best for them.

Fellas, here are other reasons some women choose to remain unmarried:

  • Maintaining a sense of independence
  • Freedom
  • Control over one’s one life and finances
  • A lack of desire to have children
  • The lack of belief in “The One.”

You’re wasting time with a man who won’t marry you  – Maina 

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

 

Ladies, why do you live with a man who has not thought about marrying you, Maina Kageni posed.

He opened up saying, ‘you will realize the kind of trouble you are in when he dies’.

This conversation was brought on after Mwalimu told him that his pal Fred Machoka has lived with his woman for 40 years and never married her. The couple marked 40 years together, but have never walked down the aisle.

Maina was livid asking why women put up with this kind of treatment.

I find that so wrong, living with a man and having children, it’s just so wrong, ladies don’t move into his house until he puts a ring on it.

Guys, why do you fear commitment? Mwalimu defended men saying pressure to marry is too much.

when you live with someone for long you realize how special they are so you wait for the right time, Manu Chandaria wed after 89 years, tena kwa Sheria House, people should know each other first, there shouldn’t be a hurry.

Maina brushed off these comments adding it’s wrong to live with someones daughter for so long without commitment.

Ladies, What does your mother think of your relationship? Don’t you see that you are wasting your time? Let me tell you ladies, the problem with these arrangement is that you realize where the problem is when he dies. Then you are finished, legally you are not married, where is her name on your documents,

Ladies are you living with a man who has not married you?

We are in a hopeless mess! Kenyans tell Maina about Moses Kuria’s speech

Posted on by Geoffrey Mbuthia

The early morning conversation between Maina and King’ang’i focused on the horrific and revelatory speech that Moses Kuria delivered yesterday.

But while all might be fun in the studio, our economy is another thing with Maina playing the viral clip of Moses Kuria speaking about the state of the nation.

Maina-Kageni
Maina-Kageni

In the rather sad somber reminder of the state of the economy after Moses Kuria described how the political class (which he was a part of) had failed Kenyans. The MP was speaking during a public debate on interest rate capping and the country’s debt.

The Gatundu South Member of Parliament stunned many when he spoke on Kenya’s debt burden that currently stands at Ksh.6 trillion.

The MP, who sits on the parliamentary budget committee, admitted that the Legislature together with the Executive arms of government have failed in containing the country’s ballooning debt and have apparently been lying to the country.

‘We have lied to Kenyans and second thing is we have failed in our oversight responsibility. Since 2014, we have sold to Kenyans this romantic story that all is well because we believed in respecting the Executive and also since most of us are members of the ruling party.’

Moses_Kuria
Moses_Kuria

Maina asked why no one in government had responded to the damning allegation? ‘Moses Kuria gave this press conference that has shocked many. We have been committing treason for 7 years. No one has responded. No one has said anything, the host asked?

Some listeners called in and all their comments had one thing in; hopelessness. Some are below;

‘Our economy is already bad. We can’t go any lower. They should just resign. I am calling on all Kenyans to go and vote as spoilt votes. We will have spoken to the world and them,’ one woman told Mr. Kageni.

Another man told Maina, ‘As Kenyans we are better off dead than alive. After the defeat of the rate cap I can’t go for a loan anymore. I have no hope. They have betrayed us in every way, shape and form.’

‘The selfishness in Kenya is beyond belief. All our leaders care for their own stomachs alone. People are dying from cancer and all they care about is BBI!’ a man added.

I was nearly in depression – Maina told by man left for 3-year-old son by ex

Posted on by Geoffrey Mbuthia

The morning conversation today was about a rarely discussed topic, that of a woman leaving their kids and not coming back. Maina was shocked and surprised wondering if such a thing could ever happen?

He asked listeners, ‘Have you ever left a baby at a reception? What made you do it? How do you leave the kid and never come back. I understand the men but not the women.’

Man MOANS about ‘deadbeat’ ex for not taking care of their child

King’ang’i said it was a common problem and that even in the place he worked kids were being left at the reception! ‘If you pretend that you aren’t picking the phone, they will leave the baby at the reception. Even a kid of 3 years. Many single fathers  are doing an awesome job.’

The host in a red shirt
Maina Kageni in a red shirt

One man regaled Maina with his tale of how his baby mama had left his 3-year-old son sleeping in his bed never to be seen from again. He told the Classic105 host,

‘I am one of the single fathers. This being left for a child is not a joke. I was left with him (my son) in my bed when he was 3 and a half. For 3 months I was nearly in depression. Now I am used to it. He is 4 and a half. I looked for her and I decided to leave her alone. She just called once, I told her to leave me alone. That is life. Vumilia. Kuna difference between kuzaa na kulea.’

Some other comments are below;

I cannot leave my kids, even if the government intervenes-A woman said.

I am one of those women who has left their kids with the father. I left them with their father because he and I weren’t together anymore. I took two of them to his school, he refused them. When he did that I sent them to his office. He is a very good father and he takes care of them-A woman confessed.

Maina Kageni responds to those curious about his dad (exclusive)

My kids are my life, so never will I leave them-A woman said.

We were left by my mother. Then our father left us so I had to raise my siblings. I was only 15 years-A woman said.

My father left first then my mother left, even though we were 7 kids. When I asked my parents, they blame each other. We were separated into different families. Some of my siblings even died. I don’t know how my mom’s food tastes like. My father refuses to apologise-A woman said.

My wife left me with a one-year-old child. I have been with the child for 8 years. From that day I have never seen her. The baby doesn’t know the mother. Men are strong but these women are taking advantage-man.

At the end of the show, Mr. Kageni revealed that he was shocked that the issue was a bigger problem than he ever thought
