‘My workout regimen left me paralyzed,’ reveals Evelyn Wanjiru

Posted on May 18, 2019May 18, 2019 by Peninah Njoki

Gospel artiste Evelyn Wanjiru has advised fellow Kenyans who are trying to lose weight to be careful with their spine when using a roller.

This is after her quest for a ‘perfect body’ left her paralyzed and hospitalized for an year.

According to her, the need to fit in with her peers is what pushed her into exerting herself to a point her body gave in.

Evelyn reveals that the stress of her dad’s death and peer pressure led her down a dark hole.

I lost my dad in 2006 and after that I got stressed because I saw the pressure my mum was under raising five kids alone.

I started getting stress in school because my mother was struggling to pay my fee.

The gospel star adds,

I tried to cut weight by using a roller at only age 16 because I wanted to fit in. My legs ended up becoming paralyzed.

I used to read the bible while in hospital but I still felt like my life had reached the end because I could not do anything for myself.

In conclusion she advises,

If you use the roller in the wrong way it can kill your nerves and what happened is that all my back nerves died.

I had to undergo physiotherapy because I was ill for an year.It was a miracle.That is why I did my song ‘Waweza’.

According to CNN, there are dangerous exercises that are likely to cause spine injury.

Lat pull-downs (behind the head)

The lat pull-down places a lot of stress on the anterior joint capsule of the shoulder and can eventually lead to impingement or even rotator cuff tears,” says Jessica Malpelli, a Florida Orthopedic

The kettlebell swing

If performed incorrectly, the repetitive swinging motion could result in rotator cuff injury and/or inflammation of other structures in the shoulder.

The Romanian dead lift

If performed correctly, it’s a great exercise for the back and hips. However, dead lifts are one of the easiest ways to hurt your back

The overhead squat

Lifting anything overhead is challenging to your body, and even more so to the nervous system.

She had been married to her childhood sweetheart Jason Nicholls, who she first met at school when she was 15, for just six days.

Her daughter Rebecca Jones, 23, from Hatton Cross, London, told MailOnline that Nicola was feeling under the weather the morning she left London for Fuerteventura, but assumed it was nothing serious.

The assistant manager, who works for a jeweller, is still looking for answers as she copes with her grief and honours her mother’s memory.

On the morning of September 11, Nicola said she wasn’t feeling well but sent a picture to her children and went on with the trip.

‘That afternoon she started to bring up blood and visited the local clinic, where she was told she was dehydrated and had a urine infection,’ said Rebecca.

Nicola was put on an IV drip for a few hours and went home for the evening once she felt better.

On the morning of Wednesday 12th, Nicola felt better and told her family she would be getting some sun. But later in the afternoon, she felt poorly again.

Raw meat chocks man to death in Kisii

Posted on January 3, 2019 by Brian Ndung'u

A man from Birongo village of Sameta Sub County in Kisii County was choked to death by a piece of meat on the eve of the New Year.

The victim Osoro Oirere allegedly choked after feasting on a chunk of raw meat on the eve of the New Year while at his home after claiming he was too hungry to be patient for the meat to cook properly.

Area Chief Linus Choka confirmed the incident to KNA today and said that frantic efforts made to save the victim after he was rushed to Getonto dispensary proved futile when he was pronounced dead on arrival.

According to Oginga Oirere, a brother to the deceased, the man’s wife was not at home when the incident happened and he only got to know of the emergency when his brother rushed to his home for help.

“My late brother rushed to my home pointing towards his throat that was swollen at the time and first aid efforts both at home and at Gentonto dispensary to save his life were futile.

The body of the deceased was later taken to Lenmek hospital mortuary for preservation pending funeral arrangements.

Chief Choka appealed to area residents to be cultured and exercise good table manners while eating cautioning that unhealthy eating habits may lead to unnecessary calamities.

Teen girl beaten to death by 16-year-old boy who then had s3x with her corpse

Posted on December 1, 2018November 30, 2018 by Brian Ndung'u

A 14-year-old girl who was allegedly battered to death by a 16-year-old boy with a hammer was ‘told not to meet him’ by a friend’s aunt because ‘you don’t know what weirdos are out there’, a court heard.

Viktorija Sokolova’s half-naked body was found propped up on a bench at a pavilion known in West Park, Wolverhampton, in April.

The 14-year-old had been subjected to a ‘ferocious’ hammer attack during which she was struck at least 21 times and had her skull smashed in and spine ‘snapped in two’.

A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has gone on trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court accused of murdering the schoolgirl.

He is also charged with raping the Lithuanian youngster and having sex with her dead body.

Today the court heard a police interview with a 13-year-old friend of Viktorija, who told officers how the teenager had planned to move to London the day after the attack.

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also claimed Viktorija had arranged a midnight rendezvous with defendant, who called himself ‘Lazy Cho’.

She said: ‘The person [Lazy Cho] asked to meet Viktorija at midnight – she said yes but you can see from the texts he was asking to meet her for ages.

‘She told us that she was going to London the next day to get away from Wolverhampton.

‘She did not give a reason she just said I’m going to London for a few months.

‘She said that boy had asked to meet her in West Park at midnight, we just looked at each other – that was really late but I thought nothing of it.

‘She just said he was a mate and did not tell us anything.’

The girl added: ‘Viktorija was with my friend, she was meant to go at 8pm but stayed to 10pm.

‘Her [friend’s] aunt told her to not walk through the park because it is “unsafe and you don’t know what weirdos are out there”.

‘She did not want people to know who she was meeting.

‘We were going to go out on Friday, then they found a body and we knew she went though West Park, she was not answering her messages and calls.

‘I saw it was a teenage girl. I had a feeling it was her

‘I had a text from my friend, she had called me loads – I spoke to her and she said that body was Viktorija’s.

‘My friend had access to Viktorija’s Facebook as it was on her phone – and it showed she was talking to this boy [Lazy Cho].

‘His name was not a proper name.

Police in Naivasha are holding a university student over the death of a casual laborer in Mai Mahiu trading center a week ago.

The suspect from St Paul University was arrested following an incident where the laborer died after he was attacked by a group of mob for allegedly robbing the student two years ago.

Trouble started after the student spotted the suspect in a bar in the town and raised an alarm with members of the public attacking the suspect.

A witness Jamleck Kiboi said that the suspect robbed the students two years ago and had been in hiding for the period before he visited the town last week.

“The student on spotting the suspect and with the help of members of the public attacked him and he was seriously beaten before police came to his rescue,” he said.

A senior police officer confirmed the arrest adding that the student would be arraigned in court facing murder charges.

“Before the suspect died, he pointed out the student as the person who led the attack in the bar and he has since been arrested,” he said.

Meanwhile, a middle aged driver died on the spot after a lorry he was driving rammed into the rear of another lorry along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

During the midnight incident near Delamere farm in Naivasha, two occupants of the front lorry escaped unscathed although all the vehicles were extensively damaged.

The driver of the trailer according to witnesses was to blame as he was in high speed when the accident occurred.

A witness Simon Mwathi said that all vehicles were heading to Nakuru from Naivasha when the trailer rammed into the lorry that was ferrying construction materials.

“The driver of the trailer was in his speed when he hit the lorry from the rear and died on the spot,” he said.

Sad! Class 6 Pupil’s Body Found Dumped On The Roadside

Posted on October 11, 2017October 11, 2017 by Elizabeth Musyimi

The body of a 12-year-old boy was found yesterday morning in Nangoto village next to a road, two kilometres away from his home.

Meshak Nato, a standard six pupil, is from Mji village in Maraka ward, Webuye East. He went missing on Monday night.

The body had no physical injuries, but police suspected Nato was strangled. His clothes were nowhere to be seen.

Nato’s mother Margaret Simiyu said he went missing on Monday night, only for the family to be informed the following morning that he was dead. Neighbour Bernard Konya said he suspects Nato was a victim of a long-running family dispute.

He said the body was found outside the gate of a woman who was once married at his home, but was later divorced.

Police have launched investigations and said they will do “all we can to arrest the boy’s killers”.

Bungoma East police boss Zachaeus Ng’eno said postmortem results will give more details about the death.

Simiyu said, “We had prepared the evening meal. We ate together as a family. In fact, he was the one who bought the vegetables that we ate from the market.

“After the meal, he took soap and said he wanted to wash his school shirt.”

That was the last time she saw him. Simiyu thought Nato would go to bed once he was done with the washing.

When she woke up at midnight, Nato was not in the house. She called out his name, but he did not respond.

“I then went to my mother-in-law’s house. A young boy who stays with her said Nato had been picked up by some people at night,” Simiyu told journalists.

The distraught mother said she received a text message in the morning informing her to “come and pick up your son’s body”.

She almost fainted, as Nato was her favourite child.

Simiyu said she had great hopes in Nato and cannot come to terms with his untimely demise.

Her plans for Nato have been brought to a halt. A dream has been shattered at the wicked hands of unknown assailants.

The mother struggled to find her voice and was overwhlemed by emotions.

Read his post below.

I have been aware of this totally false, ill-intentioned and hurtful rumour that the girl who is alleged to have burnt the Moi Girls domitory is my daughter. She is not.

I have never had a daughter in that school. It is cruel to the families that lost loved ones to create these kinds of unfounded rumours when their wounds are still this raw. It is hurtful too for the family whose daughter is now being called my daughter.
Let it be known that she’s not my daughter.

The cowardly anonymous originator of this rumour should apologise to the affected families and desist from publishing this or any other unfounded malicious stories.
May the girls who lost their lives rest in perfect peace.
