Former Churchill show comedian George Maina Njoroge aka Njoro will be away from social media for a couple of months, as he goes into rehab.
The comedian said that his brain is not okay because he has been fighting depression for a long time, and he will be in for treatment and therapy for about three months.
“It's about time .....In weeks which turned into months, I have been fighting or rather kung'ang'ana na depression. It's real guys, it kills you inside & without you knowing you loose yourself, the people you love, friends and so many other things. It makes you become very useless & life lucks meaning. I am there but I thank God He's taking me out of it. @mwalimuchurchill, I want to thank you for the greatest opportunity that you gave me & to everyone that believed in me, I'm so grateful.
Guys, I will be away for some time, for treatment (1-3mnths) coz my "engine"( brain) is not okay. No matter how good a car is, without an engine hakuna gari. I believe I'm gonna beat this & you'll see me very very soon after I'm done with the treatment. For now, I'll take any prayer you'll send my way and financial support to .0746 426336It will go a long way! I have faith that this mountain shall move out of my way by God's Grace and your support. I will be offline but I will be coming on Instagram live every Saturday 8pm to update you on how am doing with the treatment. Once again I thank you so much and God bless you @zainabuzeddy Asante Sana,” wrote Njoro.

Joseph Jowie Irungu has disclosed that he broke up with TV journalist Jacque Maribe while he was in jail, after being arrested as the main suspect in Monica Kimini’s murder.
In an interview with Jalang’o, Jowie said that he decided not to talk to Maribe who was his fiancée at the time, after they decided to end their relationship. He went on to mention that they only talk once in a while when checking up on her.
“Do you talk to Jacque?” asked Jalang’o.
“I decided not to. Ile tu you know we broke up while I was still inside. Being content is the best thing and for me nothing moved because I still had my Jah (God) in me… We don’t talk maybe check up on, once in a blue moon,” responded Jowie.

Na God ndio aliniingiza hapo, na God ndio amenitoa nay eye bado ndio atanitoa that’s what I believe and I’m so content,” said Mr irungu.

Tanzanian Video Vixen cum Fashionpreneur Hamisa Mobetto has broken silence on allegations that Kenyan MP Charles Njagua alias Jaguar fathered her child, Dylan.
In a recent interview, Mobetto quashed the reports stating that she doesn’t know Jaguar in person and they have never met.
The mother of two decided to speak up after rumours went around that Jaguar fathered her kid due to Dylan’s uncanny resemblance to the ‘Kigeugeu’ singer.
“Sijawahi kumuona Jaguar katika Maisha Yangu, sijawahi kuonana naye, sijawahi kuwa na number yake ya simu ila sijawahi kuongea naye. Kwa hiyo sababu za kumpost mtoto wangu anazijua yeye mwenyewe lakini kwa sababu watu wengi Instagram wemekuwa wakumuunganisha na mtoto wangu picha, maybe that is one of the reasons. Lakini sijapata nasafi ya kuongea naye maana simjui, so hopefully the day ambayo nitamuona nitamuuliza” explained Hamisa.
