They are his most loyal fans who call in diligently every morning to respond to topics discussed on air by Maina Kageni and we can’t help but appreciate them.
You have probably heard their contributions, some give fans a reason to laugh each day while others leave fans fuming.
Like Harmonize says we will post their photos na wasiopenda itawacosti.
A woman has been stopped from ‘assassinating her ex husbands character, after the man lost his job due to some nasty emails sent to his employers.
As if that is not enough, the woman went ahead to warn her ex husband that she was just getting started despite humiliating him infront of his employer.
Maina Kageni asked female callers to tell Kenyans about some of the worst things they had done to ‘assassinate’ their husbands character after breaking up.
“I know of a guy whose wife comes to the office to cause commotion at work whenever they have an argument, and imagine he works for an insurance company.
“A friend of mine was left with a six months old baby in the office stinking of urine, it was really embarrassing.”
Another fans adds that
“I have been in a relationship for 20 years, married for 14 and we had two kids. After the breakup she came and she told my bosses of the side deals I did away from work.
I ended up being fired. Maina it hurts so bad, the money that I was making I was using to build a house but I had to let the house go.
I am currently taking care of my kids but we are not together with their mum.”
Just when you think you have heard enough, a male caller narrates how he saved his exes wife despite her saying nasty things about him.
“A few years ago I was dating this lady, but we broke up along the way.
After the breakup, she told me some very nasty things but I took everything in as a man and moved away from them.
But as they say Karma is a b*tch 6 or 7 months down the line my ex got admitted to the hospital and no one was around.
Yet she urgently needed a blood transfusion, her blood type and mine are the same.
Maina can you imagine the mother called me to go and donate blood to her, you could read the embarrassment in her voice. I finally had my revenge.
Despite the way we parted I still donated the blood so it’s advisable for people to watch how they treat others because you never know when you might need them.”
Maina Kageni has a soft spot for Nairobi women hence the tag ‘Women Representative’ but he seems to be disappointed by the lengths they go to, to please men.
Trouble started after a female caller confessed to Maina that nowadays women wear padded bikers to make them look hippy and get that ‘Vera Sidika ‘ look.
“Maina women nowadays women wear padded bikers to make them look hippy, competition is very high out there and so women have to go the extra mile.
Looks really matter to a woman, this is because even when one is looking for a job they look at your look to see if customers will like you or not.”
To say Maina was shocked would be an understatement.
His response being
“Sponge padded bras, really? 3 layers of foundations really? Thousands of shillings on make up really? Ladies you will show me wonders
So you wear padded bikers and bras because there is too much competition out there for men? And you do this despite knowing thing that he will be disappointed when he sees the real you?”
“By the time he sees the real me in the morning I will have gotten what I want, so it’s not a bother for me.”
Maina is loved by his female fans and it is easy to understand why given that he listens to their problems, something that they don’t receive everyday.
A court ruling by the Environment and Land Court in Nyeri declaring that married women are entitled to inherit land from their fathers, has elicited mixed reactions.
The ruling made by Justice Lucy Waithaka asserted that married women should not be excluded during the sharing of their fathers land, given that they are entitled to their fathers estate contrary to customary laws.
Among those not impressed with this ruling is Mwalimu King’ang’i, who cannot understand why women have to be twice lucky adding that even his daughter Brenda will getanything from him.
“Women need to be taught that once they get married they have to move on. Even my own daughter Brenda I have to teach her that one day she will get married.
And once she gets married she should focus on her husband given that is her new family, sio anaenda huko na anarudisha miguu hapa unless she is an only child.
I have been telling her vitu zake ziko huko kwa akina bwana not here in my house and further more she has brothers. Maina hii judgement italeta shida nyingi sana.”
We do not know how serious Mwalimu Kingangi was about not giving Brenda land, but it is time he knows that things have changed and women have a right to inherit land.
Listen to the heated discussion between Maina, Kingangi and their listeners.
The debate on why women love confiding in male pastors has been on the rise and it is obvious that men are not amused one bit.
Well as you might know by now, Maina Kageni has been nicknamed ‘Nairobi’s Women representative’ by his male fans who feel that he defends them way too much.
Well it now seems like he has acquired a new title because according to his listeners Maina Kageni can make a good pastor.
Here is the reason according to a fan of Classic 105
“Maina I think you can make a good pastor. This is because you like telling our women what they want to hear rather than telling them the plain truth no matter how painful.
Women trust you so much that is why they call your show every morning crying about how bad their men are, they love you because you behave like a pastor because in the eyes of a pastor no man is good enough.
The way you hate us makes us wonder what we did wrong. How do you even get to sleep at night by kutuingilia? The truth remains that our women love being told all these lovely things and that is exactly what you do with them Maina .”
Nyandarua teenager Antony Muchori is thanking radio king Maina Kageni for helping him complete his high school studies and being supportive.
The Nyahururu High School alumnus, who scored a plain B (66 points) in last year’s KCSE exam, told Word Is life hasn’t been easy, but he thanks Maina for lifting his soul.
“Maina is a fatherly figure, humble and down-to-earth. He doesn’t like publicity and is a kind-hearted man. Many think he’s a snob but once you approach him, you’ll be surprised by his humbleness,”Antony, 19, said.
After scoring 378 in KCPE, Antony was called to join Mang’u High School. He was unable to join the school because his parents could not afford the school fees.
“I joined form one at Keruguyo Boys in 2014 but left the school in third term because I owed the institution a lot of money. In 2015, I moved to a private school and my parents really struggled to pay my school fees,” he said.
“I also depended on bursary funds and would beg politicians to pay my school fees. At the end of form two, I left the school.”
HOW HE MET MAINA
Things became unbearable in 2016, and he was forced to stay at home the whole year. In 2017, a Good Samaritan, former Kipipiri MP Samuel Gichigi, came to his rescue, paying part of his form three school fees at Nyahururu High School.
The school’s principal, Andrew Karimi, was lenient and never him sent away for school fees both in form three third term and form four first term.
“Come second term 2018, I had arrears of Sh38k, which I was supposed to pay before sitting the main exam. With no one to help, I had given up and at one point, I told myself that it would be better if I study from home and show up at school just to sit for KCSE,” Antony said.
He thought about it for long and decided to travel to Juja, where his aunt stays, to try to reach out to his mentors to help him achieve his dream.
“I remember it was on a Tuesday morning early May when I left my aunt’s house at 3am, just to get to Nairobi in time and meet Maina Kageni before he left the studio,”Antony said.
“I visited him uninvited and immediately after his show, I followed him downstairs and narrated to him my story. He asked me details about my county government and promised to talk to them so they could help,” Antony said.
At the end of the day, no one communicated, so he went back the following day on Thursday and Maina promised him again that this time round, someone from the senator’s office would communicate before night fell. Still, he got no response.
The ambitious teenager said on the following Friday, he came fully dressed in school uniform and arrived early before Maina got into studio.
“I waited for him at the reception and when he saw me again, he knew I was serious,” Antony said.
“This was my third day visiting his workplace in a week and this time, he spared some time to go through my report forms. He promised to help the following Monday if no one from the county’s office reached out to me.”
The weekend passed and no one had reached out to him and he was ready to sell his mobile phone, the only asset he had, just to go back to school.
“I wanted to sell it at Sh7k so I could take some amount to school and be in class and revise for the exams,” he said.
TURNING POINT
On Monday, Antony left Juja fully prepared for school. It was raining heavily and upon reaching Maina’s workplace, the presenter was shocked to see him around.
‘”Kijana hujarudi shule?” Maina asked me. I told him no one contacted me and I just wanted to let him know I was going to sell my phone and would be unreachable,’he said.
“But he told me, ‘Don’t do that’. He asked me to wait for him at the reception as he parked, and after a few minutes, he came and gave me Sh38k cash. He told me to go to the bank and go to school and bring the receipt when school closes.”
Adding: “I was so emotional I cried. Maina calmed me down and told me to go and study hard.”
Maina Kageni and Antony Muchori
That same Monday before he went back to school, the governor called him to his office and paid the third-term school fees.
“He gave me a cheque of Sh34k. I informed Maina about it and he was happy,” he said.
From there, Maina kept tabs with him and whenever he came back for midterm or after closing, he would meet him and show him his report cards. “He was always impressed and encouraged me to work hard,” Antony said.
He said he was motivated and Maina is going to pay his college school fees (graphic design course) before he joins university in September.
Antony, who is now a trained photographer, says the tough challenges he has gone through in the hands of the administration have inspired him to join politics. Come 2022, he will vie for Kipipiri parliamentary seat in his constituency.
“I want to represent my people so that no needy student goes through what I went through. I will ensure the government is keen on CDF disbursements and fights poverty through educating my constituents,” he said.
James Ingram, a Grammy winner known for his soulful R&B hits, has died aged 66, leaving his fans, family and friends in shock.
Ingram a native of the US state of Ohio, launched his music career with the band Revelation Funk and later played keyboard for soul pioneer Ray Charles.
His rise to fame came after he lent his smooth vocals to the songs “Just Once” and “One Hundred Ways” on an album recorded by industry legend Quincy Jones.
Ingram earned three Grammy nominations for the works, including Best New Artist, winning for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 1981.
With Jones, he also co-wrote Michael Jackson’s hit “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing).”
In 2012 Ingram jetted into Kenya for a series of shows organized by Classic 105, among those who were lucky enough to meet him is our very own Maina Kageni.
Its now obvious why Maina is yet to come to terms with the death of the legend.Morning Ingram Maina says
You came to Kenya, came onto my show with your beautiful wife Debra, who told me that she couldn’t stand your singing all over the house!!! Can’t win ’em all, can you? 🤣🤣🤣 I’m sad that you’re gone, mostly because YOU WERE THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE!!! But you made my little world a lot better… and a whole lot bigger…”
It is a sad day for Maina Kageni as he mourns legendary artiste James Edward Ingram.
Maina Kageni has taken to social media to mourn Ingram, terming this as one of his greatest loss in recent times.
“James Edward Ingram….. what a VOICE!!! What a songwriter!! You told me that a songwriter with an ear for a killer melody was a songwriter after your own heart…. aaahhh…. you’re gone…. couples met through your music as “Party Animals”, broke up when you told them that “There’s No Easy Way (To Break Somebody’s Heart)”, got back together when you and Linda Ronstadt were looking for somebody “Somewhere Out There”… they fell in love again when you promised them that they’d be together “Forever More”…. they got married to your music… they promised ” One Hundred Ways” to love each other… You said to me that your biggest regret was never working with Babyface…. Only God knows why…. that would have been too much to take!!!!!!!”
“But you worked with the best (Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Linda Ronstadt, Michael McDonald)…. You had a voice that resonated through generations because, forget Reggae for now, but because NOBODY CAN STOP A GREAT SONGWRITER!!! You came to Kenya, came onto my show with your beautiful wife Debra, who told me that she couldn’t stand your singing all over the house!!! Can’t win ’em all, can you? 🤣🤣🤣 I’m sad that you’re gone, mostly because YOU WERE THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE!!! But you made my little world a lot better… and a whole lot bigger…”
“Thank you, Mr Ingram… “I Don’t Have The Heart” to say goodbye…… but I pray that you get the just reward your gift gave us….. you trusted your art, your voice and YOURSELF!!! I trust that you’ll be good… after all, like you sang, “Yah Mo Be There”!!!!!! Rest well, JAMES INGRAM…. rest well…. and THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!! #RIPJamesIngram#ThankYouForTheMusic#RIP”
Today’s morning conversation on Classic 105 brought very real and raw emotions for listeners, especially women as this is a topic very close to home.
The debate was on why girls/women favor their mothers when it comes to buying gifts and giving out cash tokens, despite the fact that their dads are alive and kicking.
“Personally I favor my mother over my dad and I will continue doing so. Growing up I had to literally beg my dad to pay my school fees.
Right now whenever he asks me for something I have to really think hard about it. I am trying really hard so that what I went through with my dad does not affect how I bring up my kids.
He had money, lots of money, the kind of money where even if you catch him with your woman you would do nothing about it.
If I was to go abroad today I would NEVER call him to come with him because I saw everything he did to my mum.”
“Some of these men are absent in the lives of the kids. Some of them are wife batters and they do it while the children are watching.
The children end up being traumatized and they grow up knowing that their dads are ‘bad’ on the other hand the mothers will do anything to protect their kids from such surroundings.
Even when a kid is sent home by the head master in most circumstances it is the mother who goes to plead with the teacher.
If a dad is responsible he will automatically earn respect , if not he won’t be respected.
70% of Kenyan dads are drunkards who do not care about their families, kazi yao ni kusamabza mbegu tu.”
Maina Kageni has revealed that he is not getting married any time soon. He stated during the morning show on Classic 105 to co-host Mwalimu King’ang’i.
According to King’ang’i, Maina does not understand the predicament and struggles married men go through and the only way to get to experience this is by getting hitched.
Maina is however not falling for this trap. He says;
“From what you keep telling me do you think I will get married? I see the hell you are all going through. One of this days we should actually discuss what is the real importance of marriage.”
This will come as a surprise to Maina Kageni’s fans because frankly speaking majority of them have been dying to know all the juicy details of his love life.
A wise man once said,
“Stop waiting for love and start living. There are many stories your life is meant to tell.Finding love is just one chapter.”
The above point goes to prove that Maina does not have to get married for the chapters in his life history to be complete. He is OK for now but we are still keeping tabs on him.
“Are there women who still go for dates without carrying cash in 2019? Personally when I go out whether with a woman or with my boys we cost share.
Whatever we order the bills are written individually so that we don’t have ‘issues’ when it comes to paying.This is 2019 even if you are my wife, kucost share is a MUST.
Some ladies just want to eat things they have never seen in their life, kama umezoea ugali managu stick with that, this is 2019.”
Another adds
“If I am going out on a date I must have a backup, these men are not to be trusted anymore.”
During the Maina and King’ang’i ishow n the morning, a woman caught many by surprise after confidently stating that her man has never cheated.
At a time when many men are cheating and blaming the devil for their behaviour, this seems pretty far fetched.
Declaring her unwavering trust in her man, she said
“I have a perfect man in my life ,he has never cheated on me,he always comes home by 9pm, whenever I want to drink he buys drinks come we drink together, whatever I want he gives it to me.
He has never cheated on me,I differ with women on that,he has never never cheated on me, we have been together, I have never found any clue that he is cheating on me.”
A male caller was in support of the lady stating that she is one in a million
“That lady apewe kila kitu anataka duniani hadi hizi tinga tinga zinabomoa buildings Nairobi, she is one in a million.”
“The moment that woman realizes that her husband is not perfect and that he is just a hypocrite atalilia kwa choo, there is no perfect man, they are all brothers with the same character.
“I have heard that woman saying that her husband is perfect, I was in her shoes before and I never imagined that he can never cheat. not even a single day.
I used to proudly say before my friends that my man can never cheat only to find out that he had been cheating, on flash backing I realized he might have started sleeping around even before our wedding.When I found that he had been cheating it hit me so hard I have never fully recovered, yet we had been married for 10 years
The day that woman finds out her husband is cheating on her, she might even die, I used to hear other people talking about their spouses cheating on them and was like how can that even happen?
I thought that my man was getting all he needed from me thus him cheating had never crossed my mind but it was all a lie. Looking back I realized that I had been cheating myself even before I said I do?”
Here’s her advice to her fellow women,
“It’s good to trust but put some percentage of mistrust such that if you find out he is cheating, you won’t collapse and die.”
“I have had 4 sponsors and the beauty about it is that I do not sleep with them,I get money ,goodies but I do not go to bed with them.
All they want is to speak about things they cannot speak with their wife,monthly I receive roughly 25,000 from each ,that’s 100k.
The oldest of them I have been with him for the last 5 years and I am 29 yars old,the current one I met him this year the others I have dated them in between.
On being asked what she does with the money, she says
“The money might sound so tempting but believe me there is nothing you can do with it Inapotea tu,I have never slept with any of them they are not my type and they have never requested me to sleep with them
I have nothing tangible I have done with the money sina shamba,nyumba nothing.”
Wanawake hawana siri is a common phrase used by men when asked why they don’t confide in their women, opting to die with their secrets.
Maina Kageni was left stunned when a female confessed how she shared her bedroom fantasies with another man. She defended herself by stating that no matter how much effort she tries to put to encourage her husband, it’s pointless.
“I am an orphan and my husband of 8 years is a very quiet man, whenever I have a problem I cannot even share it with him. Sometimes we go through very hard issues I’d want to share with him but he is always silent mpaka you cannot know if he does not care about you ama ni pesa hana.”
She continues
“Sometime back I had pain in my abdomen but even after I shared with him he just went quiet. There is this male friend of mine he has taken care of me so much till it got to a point I was comfortable sharing my secrets with him.
He is usually very concerned you will find him asking if I am ok or whether I have visited a doctor. I ask my husband anything and he is just quiet, it reached a point where I shared about my se3ual fantasies with this man.
This is because I talk to my husband about my fantasies and he does nothing but when I visited this guy he did it so well, just the way I have always desired.”
Another male fan gives the discussion some humor with his answer below
“It all starts with a sleep over graduates to a weekend stay then boom, they say ‘I am pregnant and can’t face my father, and just like you find yourself married.”
A female caller narrates her heart breaking experience after she moved in with her man after only a month.
“Nliona mtu anashika mshahara mzuri nikaona ni vizuri anioe, but his family rejected me from the word go.
Despite that my husband with whom I have three kids with encouraged me to hang around and hope his family’s attitude towards me will change.
I had only known him for a month and then moved in with him, it is a decision I regret to date.”
Does love at first sight really exist? Men do not believe it does but women do and that was proven during a candid debate on Classic 105.
Mwalimu Kingangi could not wrap his head around a confession by this woman who said that
“There are guys you just meet and they sweep you off your feet and you can’t help it. Sometimes the feeling is so intense and you end up carrying the whole thing into your house or even your bedroom.
Kitu kama ni poa ni poa, huwezi zuia it’s so natural. Umecheki msee amekubamba and by the way the feeling is so good
“Even on the dance floor I will out my number without his knowledge and I will continue bending over we do it a way he would not notice.”
Another adds
“We had gone to a wedding with my fiancé then. We sat down and a guy passed before us alongside his girlfriend. He looked at me and I looked at him and we both smiled, it was an instant connection.
My fiancé was clueless he did not notice anything, the guy then called the waiter who came to our table in the pretense of taking our order and gave me the phone number.
The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education results are out and Kenyans can’t keep calm, with many reminiscing how their parents reacted when they received the news back in the day.
During the Morning show on Classic 105 fans gave heartbreaking stories of how their parents termed them a disappointment just because they ‘failed’ something which haunts some of them up to date.
What caught our attention is the narration below by a man from Kisii
” I am a livestock keeper because I did not impress my dad. He was very bitter with my KCSE results in 2002. He told me that I had wasted four year’s worth of school fees and that I did not know what I had gone to do in school.
I did not go beyond form four so he bluntly told me that I should just keep livestock. The livestock sustains my life , looking back at my life now maybe I would have wasted a lot of time but I am a proud farmer.
I am actually the most respected farmer in our area.”
“KCPE and KCSE marks do not determine your future. I did better than my twin sister and my mum used to blame her but she is doing well in life, 10 times more than I am.”
An open relationship/marriage refers to a marriage in which the partners agree to let each other have intimate relations outside the marriage.
During the Morning show on Classic 105 Maina Kageni gave his fans a chance to contribute on whether they would allow themselves to be in an open relationship and below are the responses.
“Open relationships work for some people and I think its incredible but for me I don’t want to share the person I love with anybody. I deserve to honor who I am and what I want.”
Another asks
“I share my wife with who? Lets share cars my wife should be like Caesars wife, beyond reproach, open relationship my foot.”
“Siwezi share bibi yangu na mtu, hata kwa dawa. It’s like sharing a tooth brush with a neighbor over my dead body.”
Another fan says
“Sadly most of the relationships are open unaware by either of the party because when some issues are not addressed both of them opt to sort it elsewhere.
Be worried when your partner stops complaining of matters that were of concern.”
Just when you think you have heard enough another female fan says
“I can relate to that. My friend’s husband brings his mpango wa kando in to the house, my friend had to adjust . Nowadays the mpango wa kando even comes to baby sit her kids and she has her own room in that house.”
