Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - Famous Kenyan TikToker Ann Kawira has spoken candidly about her relationship with Salvation Healing Ministries founder, Pastor Victor Kanyari, clarifying that the two share a close friendship and nothing more.In an interview with a local station, Kawira described Kanyari as a father figure and spiritual mentor.She explained that she often attends his church, where he has been a source of guidance and support.“My relationship with Kanyari is purely friendship. We are not dating, and we have never dated.”“He respects me, and I respect him. He is like my dad,” Kawira said.The TikTok star also praised the pastor for his generosity and encouragement on social media.“He is very supportive. On TikTok, whenever something happens, people call him and he shows up, even offering financial help,” she noted.Meanwhile, Pastor Kanyari recently opened up about his personal life during the memorial of his late ex‑wife, gospel singer Betty Bayo.He revealed why he has remained single more than seven years after their separation, saying he has never met a woman who matches Betty Bayo’s qualities.According to Kanyari, many of the women he encounters lack emotional stability or the attributes he values in a life partner.Kanyari emphasized that his priority remains his children, insisting that he would rather stay single than risk bringing someone into his household who might disrupt their well‑being.“I cannot take someone randomly to trouble my children or myself. I would rather stay alone,” he said. @presenter_rue0 Pastor Kanyari and Kawira at Obidan Dela birthday party ♬ original sound - Presenter _rue The Kenyan DAILY POST 

Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - Content creator, Thee Pluto, has stirred conversation online after raising concerns about the influence of single mothers on younger women. Speaking in a candid YouTube interview, Pluto suggested that single mothers often misguide others with advice that doesn’t always reflect the realities of parenting and family life.“I always feel like women bleed on women. Especially single mothers. Na msinitukane, because I am just saying what I have seen.” “I see them misleading other women all the time,” he said. Pluto, who shares a daughter named Zoe with his ex‑partner, Felicity, admitted he has never publicly explained why their relationship ended. However, he expressed frustration at narratives shared online that, in his view, downplay the importance of fathers. “We have never said why we parted ways, but you will find them giving advice online.” “You understand? Who told you that Zoe doesn’t need a father?” he asked. The breakup, he revealed, took a toll on his emotional health. Memories tied to his former home made healing difficult, prompting him to move out. “It has not been easy for me because healing took too much time because of my daughter… Ikafika mahali and I sought therapy.” “And my therapist told me… you need to disconnect from everything that is giving you memories,” Pluto explained.

Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - Media personality, Janet Mbugua, has praised former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko for stepping in to protect his daughter, Salma, from an abusive marriage, saying his swift action may have saved her life.In a video statement shared on Instagram, Janet acknowledged Sonko’s notorious reputation but insisted that his response was exemplary.“Yes, he is a polarising figure, but he did what most families fail to do. He went straight into the gender-based recovery centre, and he saved her life,” she said.Mbugua highlighted the complex realities survivors face, noting that abuse is rarely about choice.“Fear and love live in the same space. Economic dependence is real. Stigma and shame are real,” she explained, underscoring the emotional and psychological traps victims often endure.She urged families to be proactive and supportive, stressing that compassion must extend beyond rescue.“What does being proactive look like? It looks like checking in even after a survivor has left. It means paying attention to signs or patterns you can name, and being a safe space for the person affected. Remember, shame, stigma, and fear are real.”She encouraged Kenyans to share resources such as Gender-Based Recovery Centres (GBRCs) and avoid judgment.“It means sharing resources like GBRC and others online. But it really means paying attention and not loading judgement on somebody who is already fearing for her life,” she added.The incident first came to light through Sonko’s social media, where he described the distress call from Salma.“Today, we received a distress call… her voice trembling, her spirit broken. I acted immediately, because no mother or father can sit still when their child is hurting,” he said.The Kenyan DAILY POST
