Tuesday, December 02, 2025 - Stand‑up comedian turned activist, Eric Omondi, has revealed the tough journey that followed his rise to fame on the Churchill Show, sharing how career struggles eventually led to his belongings being auctioned. Speaking on the Mic Cheque podcast, Omondi recalled feeling stuck after the first season of the show. “Season one ilikuwa pekeyangu, alafu season two kina Fred Omondi, Teacher Wanjiku na Owago Onyiro wakajoin, nikafeel nimehit ceiling, alafu watu wakaanza kuni compare na wengine,” he said. “Alafu kukakuwa na a lot of Eric Omondi wa Churchill, na mimi nilitaka kukuwa tu Eric Omondi.” Determined to grow beyond the Churchill brand, he approached the host about leaving and later launched Eric Omondi Untamed. But when Churchill took a break, Omondi suddenly found himself without a platform. KTN offered him a show modeled after Churchill Show, but the rushed production quickly collapsed. “Hawayuni happened when Churchill went on a break… KTN wakanicall wakanipea show na pesa na format ikuwe tu kama ya Churchill show,” he revealed. “It was on air for two episodes, and it was the worst… the jokes were very funny, but the sound was bad.” The failure hit his brand hard. Work dried up, and Omondi eventually faced financial ruin. “Brand yangu ikaenda chini mbaka nilikuwa auctioned… walikuja na pickup ya white wakaanza kubeba fridge,” he recalled. Forced to move in with his cousin, Omondi survived on just one major brand deal in two years. However, he insists the hardship shaped him. “I learnt my lesson… the best thing that ever happened to me is Hawayu. I needed to make that mistake,” he reflected. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Tuesday, December 02, 2025 - Kenyan singer, Bahati, is in shock after a woman came forward claiming she is his biological mother. The revelation, made in a viral TikTok video, has sparked widespread debate and left the artist questioning what to believe. Taking to his Instagram page on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025, Bahati expressed disbelief, noting that he buried his mother more than 25 years ago. “But My Mum Died over 25 Years ago, I personally attended the Burial and witnessed her Grave 💔💔💔. This Woman has confused me More. So what Should I Do???” he wrote. In the TikTok clip, the woman emotionally pleaded for forgiveness, insisting she is Bahati’s mother. She explained that although he grew up believing his mother had died, she had taken him to a children’s home because she lacked the means to raise him. She said she is ready to reunite with Bahati and even take a DNA test to prove her claims. She added that keeping the truth hidden for years has troubled her deeply. The emotional twist has left fans divided, with many urging Bahati to seek clarity through DNA testing, while others sympathize with the woman’s heartfelt confession. @peninahrasugufoundation #viral #everyone #foryou #kenyantiktok🇰🇪 #viraltiktok ♬ original sound - Peninah Rasugu Foundation The Kenyan DAILY POST

Tuesday, December 2, 2025 - A motorist has issued a warning to the public after narrowly escaping an attempted robbery on the Kasarani-Githurai stretch.According to the victim, the incident happened at around 2 a.m. while he was driving home.He was on the fast lane when his vehicle hit a large stone placed deliberately on the road.Fortunately, the tyre did not deflate immediately, allowing him to drive a short distance and park safely.As he stepped out to assess the damage, he noticed several men approaching.Sensing danger, he got back into the car, locked the doors, and drove off on a flat tyre.One of the men reportedly attempted to open the rear door, but it was already locked.A short distance away, he noticed another car parked nearby but did not think much of it at the time.This morning, he learnt that the owner of the other vehicle had not been as lucky.The second driver hit the same traps, causing his car to deflate, deploying airbags, shattering the windscreen, and damaging the sump guard, leading to an oil leak.When he stepped out to inspect the damage, the thugs attacked him, robbed him of all his belongings, and left him with multiple bruises.With the holiday season approaching, historically a time when crime spikes, motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution, especially at night.

Tuesday, December 02, 2025 - American digital nomad and YouTuber, Austin Holloman, has vowed never to return to the U.S after settling in Nairobi, Kenya, a city he now calls home. Having traveled to more than 50 countries, Holloman says Kenya offered him something he didn’t know he was searching for, freedom, community and peace. “I was running away from the U.S. because of the social life aspect,” he explained. “Yes, there’s the high cost of living, yes, there’s GMO, yes, there’s racism, and yes, it’s a violent state, everything played a factor.” In America, Holloman found it difficult to organize simple gatherings with friends. In Nairobi, however, spontaneous meet‑ups and warm social circles quickly became his norm. Within hours of arriving to shoot travel content, he felt a spiritual shift. “God told me that any doubts I had about Kenya were irrelevant. I fell in love within the first few hours,” he shared. Today, Holloman resides in Kileleshwa, one of Nairobi’s leafy neighborhoods, paying KSsh 97,000 monthly for a modern apartment that would cost over KSh 517,000 in Dallas. His monthly budget ranges between Ksh 155,000 and KSh 645,000 depending on lifestyle and travel, yet he insists Nairobi offers financial peace he never had in the U.S. Goods and services, he estimates, are four times cheaper. Beyond affordability, Holloman treasures the emotional ease, safety, comfort, and belonging. “I came here to rebuild my life,” he said simply. “And now, I’m not going back.” The Kenyan DAILY POST
