President Uhuru Kenyatta. Just when Kenyans were hoping,praying and fasting that when President Uhuru Kenyatta gives his briefing today(12th March,2021) he lifts the curfew, he has chosen to extend it by a further 60 days! Kenyans pleaded with Uhuru, endeared themselves to him with words of praise with hopes that he will give in to the desire of their hearts, lifting the curfew. One internet user wrote; "Jayden the Great,Son of Jomo the great,the first man to board SGR the first man to sign BBI, who coughs and we respond,man of the moment...the father of this nation,the Guru Buvati of Kenya,we respect,love and adore you a lot.

Other directives that the president...

It is hard to imagine, but there are so many actors and actresses who have been replaced while filming and we never noticed that!   Imagine how our favorite movies and TV series would have been if another actor had gotten one of the leading roles. For example, try to picture someone else flying with Kate Winslet on the stern of the Titanic. We know this might be hard to believe, but there are some actors and actresses who were replaced all of a sudden. 10. Penny in "The Big Bang Theory" It’s hard to imagine any other “Penny” by Leonard’s side in the popular TV series The Big Bang Theory.

Kaley Cuoco didn’t get the role of Katie the first time because she was too young, but a year later the casting team called her to audition once...

"Sonko is single-handedly opening the IEBC servers!" This is what Kenyans on Twitter are saying after a video of Mike Sonko revealing the dirty Deep State secrets goes viral. The embattled former governor has since lost his good standing with the ruling Jubilee party and in what is seen as a retaliatory move, has been keen on revealing the ruling party's secrets. In a shocking move,Sonko has revealed how the Deep State is callous, tactical and plays filthy politics. The former governor, who has a reputation of being brutally and uncomfortably honest, revealed that during the 2017 NASA demos, the government led by Kibicho, "deep state members" and himself bought second- hand vehicles and burnt them in the streets to show how Raila Odinga's supporters were chaotic and disorderly. This comes at a time when DP Ruto's allies, now christened Team Wheelbarrow, have been facing strong backlash and receiving blames over serious chaos that erupted during political...
