And It's finally here! The Gospel Music Extravaganza has arrived

When he makes promises, he pretty much keeps them. And when he goes out of his way to make a difference in the lives of women, especially the marginalized and the poor, Joe Kariuki has proven that he can be the most reliable tool of social change.

A few days ago, the multi-talented business star and music impresario decided to throw a gauntlet - asked single women all across the Country to join him for Christmas. And he wasn't bluffing.

This was after he encountered a single mother of two named Susan Owuor who not only singlehandedly raises her two sons but also has adopted some other 28 young children whom she not only raises as her own but also lives with and caters for.

Susan, a woman with little the means and not much money, raises her huge brood by the sheer will of God and sporadic instances of help from kindhearted well-wishers.

Moved by her plight and touched by her remarkable kindness, Joe decided to not only buy her an entire Christmas gift bag but also invited all of the 28 homeless children she adopted into his office and gave them an early, thrilling Christmas too.

And to go with it, Joe actually decided to cast his net further and stretch the hand of kindness even further across the country.

"I decided to make this Christmas season not just worthwhile to Susan and her kids alone but also to women like Susan who have been raising their kids alone and might spend this Christmas alone too. I invited them all and my office and I wants to spend this holiday with as many single women and their children as we can, "Joe said.

The Christmas gift seems to have already arrived.

And the #NoOneEatsAlone social media campaign was born.

Now, ten women have already been handpicked to not only have the time of their lives but also have it with their kids as well.

" The instructions were simple, " Rhoda, a Bopit Kenya publicist says." We asked single women in Kenya to download the Bopit App into their mobile phones and then tell us via the App's chat section why they deserved to be picked for a surprise Christmas trip. And these women have provided outstanding reasons as to why they deserve this once in a lifetime treat, "

Here are the lucky girls who now have been sponsored for a fully-paid Christmas trip to Malindi. This is going to be one hell of a fun holiday!

Esther Wanjiru Kariuki (Mama Tim) Esther is a Nairobi-based beautician and small scale business woman. She's also the mother of two boys, Tim and Jim and she lives in Kahawa Wendani. She plans to bring along her two precious boys for the trip.

Doreen Awiti (Mama Precious)

Doreen sells car spare parts in Roysambu, Thika Road. She lives in Kasarani and lives with her four year old boy Precious who she considers her everything. Doreen has been living by herself for years now and raises her son alone as her baby daddy has been largely out of her life. Doreen also says that she's not been to Mombasa before and can't wait for the trip.

Catherine Mwende (Mama Bobo)

Mwende is current jobless and relies on her parents to educate her seven year old girl Mwende. A resident of Chogoria, Catherine is delighted that she will not only be in Mombasa this month but also be there with her girl who has always craved for a trip to the city of sand and beaches. "It's a dream come true for my daughter" she says.

Martha Ngendo (Mama Ada)

Martha bore Ada with her Nigerian boyfriend who has since been deported and cut all communication with her. She's also currently dating a teacher but she's yet to take things seriously with him. Martha herself is a primary school teacher as well and her son Ada schools in the same school she teaches at.

Betty Musee (Mama Steve)

Betty a mother of two boys, lives in Kariobangi South and runs a small kiosk around the neighborhood. Betty didn't initially have any Christmas plans and this surprise trip to the Coast has totally thrown her off her seat. "My kids are still in disbelief. It seems like a joke!"

Nancy Wambui Mwangi (Mama Brandon)

Nancy, a city business woman who imports stuff from China has been raising her son Brandon alone for five years now. Even after suing her baby daddy, nothing has yet to come out of that. Nancy is excited to join her fellow single mothers to a trip to the Coast as one of them,Martha, is actually her friend and that makes the trip even more worthwhile.

Frida Omollo (Mama Giselle)

Frida and Giselle, her two year old girl, are inseparable. After downloading the Bopit App, Frida made one of the most convincing reasons why she deserved the trip. And then she was shortlisted. "I did it for Giselle..." she says. Lucky girl!

Emily Nanjala (Mama Sophia)

Emily is the oldest of them and she can not be prouder. A farmer who lives in Thika and rears chicken and rabbits, Emily says that the trip to the Coast is the culmination of her best tear yet. A mother of four, Emily says she won't be taking all her kids to the Coast though since some of them are big enough to be left home or go to their village.

Elizabeth Musyoka (Mama Lyla)

Elizabeth and her two kids Lyla and Byron live in Umoja One. A secretary at a city law firm, Elizabeth has been more than blessed to not only take her Angel Lyla to the Coast this holiday but also do it free of charge. "I don't know Joe but God bless him mightily! This is huge for us '' she says.

Rose Mwihaki (Mama Salama)

Rose has raised her two kids (a boy and a girl) alone ever since she bore them. For the same man who has since left her. A chips vendor in Kahawa West, Rose is overjoyed that the most precious time of the Year is being spent not just with her two precious rocks but also in a foreign city with everything catered for. It's like a dream, she says.

These 10 Lucky Single Mothers are going to spend Their Christmas In Malindi...And All their expenses have been paid for

But crushes are fun... They're not meant to be taken seriously and it's cute to just have that one super hot celebrity that just lights up your day with whatever they do. And in Nicki Minaj's case, whatever they wear.

Celebrity crushes might even spawn bitter Hip Hop beefs when one player ends up snapping up a girl another nigga wanted. Like in the case of Drake and Meek Mill.

Or the madness currently going on with Tyga whose super hot girlfriend Kylie Jenner is the celebrity crush of fellow rapper 21 Savage.

I'm totally smitten by Ariana Grande. Like, smitten. I live for Ariana. Breathe for Ariana and believe in Ariana.

But she's too far way, way too far successful, too breathtakingly gorgeous, too high-level and definitely too rich for this scraggly blogger here. But dream on, Cabu Gah, dream on.

Anyway... Ghafla Kenya is studded with guys who have their own little dreams with their own secret celebrity crushes.

And today, I'll make it public every single Ghafla guy's celebrity crush in Kenya.

And why not start with myself ? But of course.

Cabu Gah - WangechiI would move mountains - and sixteen other rocks - to get Wangechi. She's everything I dream of, everything I want and everything I ever needed. A girl so classy, so flawless, so incredibly gifted, so beautiful, so grounded, so chilled out. Raps like heaven. And sings like a cherubim. And that chocolate skin, that's the skin of the world. And with a body that petite, Good Lord! PS: Her new mixtape Do Not Consume If Seal Is Broken is tearing up the Internet. Listen to it <a href="http://waabeh.com/wangechi/dcisib" id="7bd46791-96f6-502a-bca2-6047c30da054">HERE.</a>

Anthony Irari - Fawwie SolThere's so many questions here. Like, first, who is Fawwie Sol? Why Fawwie Sol? Who knows Fawwie Sol? What does Fawwie Sol do? Who else has a crush on Fawwie Sol? Is she related to Sauti Sol? I need to log onto Instagram and investigate this woman. But Irari is the Big Chief. I'm still confused on what would make a whole Editor crush on Fawwie Sol? Investigations begin in three, two, one....

Samuel Majani - Lois Hannigan Majani is the big Boss. The CEO. And what do witty creators of a super popular blog want? Well, a little lightskinned girl from KTN. I mean, Lois Hannigan. Also known as Lola to those that are close to her. Like me. Majani's obsession with Lola dates back to the 18th Century. And still, thousands of years later, he'll never get her. Ever ever. Woooiyee.

Martin Oduor - Corazon KwambokaWho doesn't like a big booty that comes with brains!? Who doesn't like a High Court advocate who also slays on Instagram and has the hips of a Brazilian samba Queen!? Corazon has been driving Martin crazy for years now. He'd do anything to smash that cookie. Do anything to wake up next to this fly as hell mamacita. But she's a lawyer. Who flies to Dubai thrice a week. And he's here sitting his butt writing. All day. It doesn't work that way. Pole Boss.

Joseph Moore - Xtatic Moore is Ghafla's King of videography. He's probably interviewed every single Kenyan celebrity alive. And yet, amongst them all, no one captures his heart and soul quite like Xtatic. That sexy female rapper who is now married to some music video producer. (Bad news.) Lakini Moore Hapana tambua. To him, Xtatic is everything and everything. He wouldn't mind sinking his teeth into that butt. And who doesn't like a sexy mama that can rap circles around the city?

Dennis Jerome - Avril Jerome is our social media guy. The guy that ensures that he's flooded your timelines with troves of tweets and crashed your Facebook News Feed with over 16 billion posts a day. OK, that aside, Jerome only wants one thing for Christmas. Avril. Only that. He wants the newly-single damsel to rock his world and serenade him with tunes like <a href="" id="5deb429e-485c-5872-aa47-f973f49beed8">"Nikimuona"</a> all day in bed. As they watch birds fly in the Diani Beach sky. Perfect.

Joe Goga - Betty Kyalo Goga has so much IT knowledge he once hacked the Hillary Clinton Campaign Headquarters in Nevada just to browse through her emails and KPLC bills. Haha. Dude is a beast. And what do IT gurus love most? A recently-divorced woman. That is, Betty Kyalo. And can we fault him? Kyalo is soooo freakin hot! Such a bombshell! Now we know the one guy that never misses the Friday Briefing. Good luck with that girl, Mr. Okari. Oh,a dn wanna know why Goga is crazy about Miss Kyalo? Ok, the little , silly fact that she can rock sneakers! What a sneaky excuse!

George Tubei - Cece Sagini This Kalenjin jamaa only wants girls from his kabila. Aaiiiiii. But we can't blame him. Cece is moto wa kuotea mbali. Girl is not just tremendously beautiful, she's also quite the singer. Like have you heard her song 9 to 5? Have you?!!! Even Victor Peace knows what's up! Lakini Tubei hapa hawes toboa. Rudi lane kijana.

Liatema Munyu - Cece Sagini and Joy Kendi Like WTF dude??? Pick a woman! At least one! Who even has two crushes at the same time? In the same Country? Only Munyu... Muluya wa Busia (Not to be confused with Kristoff tafathari ) Now now, how did Cece Sagini become the celebrity crush of two dudes in Ghafla? At the same time? Like, kwani how hot is this girl? Might wanna crush on her too! And as for Joy Kendi, well, girl has been doing her thing now right? Good luck bedding her Mr. Munyu. Good luck Papa.

Ben Odhiambo - Lilian Muli No one should ever have a crush on Lilian Muli. No, seriously. Like how do you tell your people, your parents, the community, the world that you have a crush on Lilian Muli? Where do you even start? Brother Ben, you've gotta try harder. Hatutaishi hivi.

Dennis Tarus - Rev. Natasha Huyu kijana anacheza na mali ya Mungu. Bro, we said who is your celebrity crush! Not who is your spiritual hero! Lakini Miss Natasha is hotter than a Pizza Inn oven. Tarus is normally such a nice guy. Who writes such nice little articles. And here he is lusting over a whole woman of God! Man, you've got to be a special kind of crazy to sit your thick butt all day fantasizing over a woman of God. But at least it's not Bishop Margaret. Or Kathy Kiuna. Thank goodness. Now, someone needs to repent. And we all know who.

Celebrity crushes are as old as, ummm, celebrity crushes. Everyone has a celebrity they would kill - or die - for. Trouble is, we can barely get to meet them leave alone date them and fly off to Jamaica with them.

Here are the Gorgeous Kenyan Female Celebs Who drive Male Ghafla Writers Crazy!

It's an improbable love story... A match made, quite literally, in the halls of heaven and a match sustained by the very tenets that govern heaven.

Whenever Willy Paul teams up with his frequent collaborator Size 8, you can rest assured that they're about to produce magical gems that will not only form huge conversations for weeks but also rake over a million views on YouTube.

One is a thoroughbred street disciple who has mastered the street language to bring you hits made specifically for the street crowd and the other is the exact female replica of the first - tenacious, calculating, streetwise, punchy and rough at the edges.

It might look like nothing beats the wonder that is Willy Paul and Gloria Muliro, a duo that has paired up severally in their musical journey but in real sense, the chemistry between Willy and Mama Wambo is really where the magic is.

No one compliments Willy Paul's sound and urgent delivery quite like Size 8. Like him, she's willing to bend a couple rules, go the extra mile, shock a little and keep reinventing herself.

It looks like whenever the unbreakable two hit the studio, sparks fly off immediately.

<a href="internal:/article/5864510" id="0a961c3a-b4b9-5030-a21f-9e4dd96f7ae0">Tam Tam Remix</a>

No one will have done a better job in the <a href="" id="a09c4b49-90a9-5c3d-8f01-c7dda45371bd">Tam Tam</a> remix than Size 8.

She's melodramatic and also very showy, a quality that gels well with what encapsulates Willy Paul - sheer showmanship.

For the entire length of his career (which isn't that long anyway) Willy Paul has refused to just be a singer and a lyricist. Willy has put the 'e' in entertainment and has always done material that will not just uplift but also, entertain and definitely drive you to the dance floor.

That's what Size 8 is all about too. Unlike her female contemporaries, most of whom take their job very seriously and prefer to record stirring worship singles that lead you to the altar, Size 8 rarely boxes herself into the corner of strict traditional-style praise and worship.

Just like her favorite collaborator, she's an entertainer first. And Gospel singer second.

Obviously, these particular aspects of their complex packaging and interpretation of 'Gospel music' has always landed the duo in trouble and launched them onto the chopping board time and again.

But, together, they refuse to be shaken and to be moved, moving strongly together to record yet another opinion-splitting hit. And watch it burn like fire.

Like Jay Z and Beyonce , or Drake and Rihanna , or Mac Miller and Ariana Grande, this pair's collaborative efforts always shoot up to the top of the charts and their chemistry while at it is never mistakable.

<a href="internal:/article/5864520" id="56321157-1dd3-572f-97f6-01e60ff103da">Sijafika Willy Paul, Size 8 and Others</a>

Unlike many artists who always place a caveat whenever it comes to writing together, like paying for a collabo or having to foot all the musical bills (Like in the case of DK Kwenye Beat and Anto Neo Soul) Willy Paul and Size 8 already know that they need each other and therefore, there are usually no pre-conditions or contractual obligations before the two hit the studio.

A source tells us that they even craft their songs together and the reason they gel so well, blend in their voices and verses so seamlessly is the fact that the two are actually longtime friends who don't just come together whenever they need to record.

Their off studio chemistry too is unmistakable as the two spend huge amounts of time together either promoting their new single, going for photo shoots together or even going on stage together.

The kind of nasty beef that arose after the massive success of , a song that Willy Paul did with Gloria Muliro, is normally not present whenever he teams up with Size 8.

<a href="internal:/article/5864539" id="13a83297-1846-55a0-b6bc-45ef06986bb8">Tiga Wana Size 8 and Willy Paul</a>

You don't see them fighting over who has what rights, over royalties, over rights to own the song and over who gets to perform the song at what event.

That pettiness might occur when Willy gets down with another performer - but is quite absent when he works with his favorite sidekick, Size 8.

In , you can evidently see the influence that each one has imparted on the other.

And that way, they're assured of a hit song that will immediately fly off the shelves and launch them back onto the headlines. Once again.

This excellence can also be seen on YouTube where any sing that size 8 has done with Willy Paul hits the one million views mark.

, the song that he did with Sauti Sol has stagnated at 700,000 views almost an year later yet , which is a mere two weeks old, has already crossed the 600,000 mark and has been accumulating thousands of views per hour.

I don't what what it is between the two. But sure, whatever they're doing, they're doing it right.

To Willy Paul and Size 8, the perfect match of Gospel Music.

___5864580___https:______static.pulse.com.gh___webservice___escenic___binary___5864580___2016___12___7___12___00371192-66d4d6bcb3113c9cdbd8217d82bf6516-arc614x376-w1200

The nature of Willy Paul and Size 8's musical relationship transcends anything that the local industry has crafted for a long time.

Willy Paul and Size 8; The Magical, Royal Couple Of Music

The End of the Year is here. There's definitely going to be a lot of festivities that include mass parties, huge consumptions of foods and drinks, wanton drunkenness and general wild merry making that won't end till the 2nd of January 2017.

Everyone will be out here making it rain, spending cash flagrantly, buying themselves bags and bags of items and paying bills upon bills of petty things.

But not everyone will be having such a good time. Many are still riddled with poverty, financial inadequacy, debts, joblessness and despondency and therefore, they can't afford to party up and be in the Christmas spirit like the rest of us.

One of those Kenyans who cannot afford to splash money on luxuries - or even food - like the rest of us is Susan Owuor Njuguna, a selfless Angel who has dedicated her life to not just serving herself and her two kids, but also spreading the love further and housing some other 28 homeless kids.

Joe teaching the children basic computer skills

Life for a single mother is already a very daunting task as she's always faced with a mountain of debts and bills as she tries to raise her own kids but Susan decided to overlook her poor state and took in some other strange children and mothered them as her own.

Susan Owuor poses with her brood and one of the Bopit Kenya staff

And because it's Christmas, Susan had the idea of approaching eminent businessman Joe Kariuki to ask him to grant her a December job just so she could find some little cash to feed her large brood over the holidays.

But Joe told her that he had no jobs to offer.

Freddy Rashid plays with some of the homeless children some games on his computer

But before she left the office, Joe called her back and asked her to report right back in his office following morning with all of the children she raises and feeds.

And the next day, Joe, a renowned business mogul and philanthropist, spent the whole day with the poor kids in his office - showing them around, letting them access the computers, letting them play around, play mobile games, sit around his expansive office and have a fun filled day.

Susan and her children take a group photo

"I was so moved by Susan and her homeless children that I decided to make this even bigger than just Susan. It's December anyway and there's millions of children, just like Susan's, who need us and who won't mind a little Christmas gift, " Joe said.

Also, the children were presented with a myriad of gifts which included cookies, candy, toys, pens, books, cakes and dolls.

Some of the goodies that Bopit Kenya presented to the children

Now, the Candy and Candy honcho has decided to expand the philanthropy.

" We have decided to give even further and wider. And that's why we as Bopit Kenya have decided that, for every download of the Mobile App on Google store, Joe will donate Sh 10 to the kitty. And then, we are going to ask all single mothers to post their stories of survival and overcoming challenges to the Bopit Facebook group. The mother with the most captivating story will automatically win herself a Ksh 5,000 gift hamper for Christmas from Bopit Kenya " says Rhoda, a Bopit Kenya publicist.

The campaign, dubbed <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/nooneeatsalone?source=feed_text&amp;amp;story_id=576102689262739" id="6c152881-4d0c-5fc3-ab2c-730f881962ad">#NoOneEatsAlone</a> has already been launched and millions of single women in Kenya are being asked to join in the fray, download the Bopit Kenya App and share their stories on the App Facebook page.

It's a Christmas treat come early. And by the look of it, nobody is going to be eating alone this holiday.

Susan, a single mother to two, is a modern-day Mother Teresa who now lives with some 28 other little children (boys and girls) and not only treats them as her own bit also feeds them and clothes them and takes care of them. Singlehandedly.

Nominees have camped on Twitter and Facebook to push for the votes as the competition nears home stretch, pitting huge stars alongside upstarts in what looks like it's going to be a dramatic finale of the years run of Gospel.

As Willy Paul continues to flex his muscle with his hit <a href="" id="12d46675-9b69-58f6-983b-35cd27b64c08">Tiga Wana,</a> trotting to media house after media house (sometimes with disastrous results) Bahati is also on the map, hooking up with worship legend Jemima Thiong'o in what is promising to be a worship classic already.

Dance groups too have been been allover the place doing their thing and it remains to be seen with dance group will finally emerge the best in what is traditionally considered the hottest and most divisive category of the Awards.

Evelyn Wanjiru, one of the nominees

Female artists too, have been waving their flag high and steadily going up the ladder upsetting even established male stars.

It will be interesting to see who among the prolific Size 8, Mercy D Lai or Evelyn Wanjiru, among others, will bag the Award for Best Female Artist.

Veteran video producers too are in the running for an award and the category is filled with mad talent that includes Cream Vision, Spotlight Media, Mike X, Maxton Media and the sensational Young Wallace.

Other hot categories include the Collabo of the Year and the New Artist as well.

Many are looking forward to see who carries the day as the Best Male Artist as most of the nominees are themselves big achievers and veteran award winners from the Grooves to the Kisimas.

Here, it's a titanic battle that pits the deep-pocketed Papa Dennis against his mentor Daddy Owen. And also Eko Dydda head to head with Guardian Angel.

Well, on December 11th 2016,  at the Prestigious Calvary Covenant Centre Komarock, the wheat shall be separated from the chaff.

As the run up to the much anticipated Xtreem Awards nears, fans have been voting furiously for their preferred artists in one of the most hotly-contested Awards of 2016.

Size 8 and Willy Paul keep shining brighter and brighter. This is Why

After their many fights across social media, it looks fate will somehow gang up these members of the troubled Gospel industry under one roof again for the much anticipated Xtreem Music Awards

The annual awards, which were founded in 2013 by philanthropist and entrepreneur Peter Mulei, have traditionally been the last Awards to happen in the Music Award roster for any year as they're normally held in December.

And this year seems to be quite the interesting one as it has proved to be the most turbulent one in the Gospel Music industry with the last two weeks offering what is more than what we bargained for.

In a span of less than 100 hours, we've watched them cause a buzz on Instagram, take their petty fights across the internet, accuse each other of sabotage and malice, storm out of radio studios and even release songs that cannot even be classified as Gospel by the guys while just escaped from Mathare today.

But on Sunday, these Gospel superstars will all converge at for the Xtreem Awards Gala that has promised to be nothing but pure fireworks.

To put everything into perspective, Ringtone, who has just launched a furious tirade against his peers, is one of the nominees and possible attendees.

Under the same roof will be Willy Paul as well (who Ringtone just tore into couple days ago) Bahati, DJ MO, Hopkekid and DK Kwenye Beat amongst many others.

This is promising to be one of the most explosive afternoons of the troubled Gospel music of 2016 so far.

Other nominees in over ten categories include Daddy Owen, Guardian Angel, Size 8, Alice Kimanzi, Papa Dennis, Owago Nyiro and DJ Sadic.

Also, this year has seen categories expand to not only rope in International artists but also, regional artists (Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda) and also County artists. Quite like the Grooves... But with a more emphasis on Teeniez.

Wanna witness the last drama of the industry? And watch them all converge in the same room at the Prestigious Calvary Covenant Centre Komarock with mad electric performances by a galaxy of super stars, dancers and singers? Then go grab a ticket at the Kassangas before they run out.

It all goes down on the 11th of December.

Looks like a gig you don't seriously plan to miss.

But on Sunday, these Gospel superstars will all converge at for the Xtreem Awards Gala that has promised to be nothing but pure fireworks.

After their fights, Ringtone and Willy Paul to finally meet Face to Face

Lately, a strong anti-immigrants wave has been sweeping across the entire Western world, with Britain sending the strongest message yet with Brexit and in the USA, Donald Trump whipping up the emotions by fronting a fascist, America-first rhetoric that threatens the social fabric and also calls for the expulsion of other races and persons from the Land Of the Free.

This same rhetoric has seen a resurgence in Great Britain as immigrants (legitimate or illegal) find it hard to settle, work, school or live in an atmosphere that overwhelmingly voted for the exclusion of Britain from other European countries.

These moves are making foreigners shocked and worried while others are even planning to relocate as things may get thicker.

But for Kenyans who love a good education, for Kenyans who value a good degree and Kenyans who know what quality education means and entails, these fears are nothing to hinder you. In fact, they're encouragements.

Owing to the changing social set-ups across the World, and the ballooning expenses of living and also housing, hundreds of thousands of Kenyans have now seized the opportunity and jumped into a goldmine - Edulink International College.

Therefore, Kenyans who are familiar with how excellent the college is and just what a valuable degree they offer, have been flocking in their hundreds to register at the Edulink University situated at Adams Arcade, Ngong Rd - Ndemi Road Junction. Yes - right here in the city center! How about that!?

That way, they not only get to access world-class education with top-notch facilities and international-standards teaching tools, they also get to overwhelmingly slice the expenses that would require them to study abroad. And also, stay closer home where the political climate is a little conducive and not flagrant.

An arm of the world-renowned The University of Northampton, Edulink International College is truly a little British commune right in the heart of the Nairobi City. (With all the classiness and prestige.)

Even without having to board flights and set off to the land of Sir Winston Churchill, you still get to feel the excellence and the expertise of any student sitting in a lecture hall back in Northampton, UK.

Instead of complaining about what direction the politics of the West is taking, smart Kenyans have decided a way of not just avoiding trouble but also benefiting from a godsend opportunity to acquire the best while still living in their homes, right here in our beautiful capital.

In fact, on Saturday 3 December 2016, Edulink International College Nairobi (EICN), which offers business degrees in the areas of Business Studies, Entrepreneurship, Accounting and Marketing, will have an Open Day on its campus on Ngong Road &amp; Ndemi Junction.

See you there. The World has just been brought closer home.

After Donald Trump and Brexit, Now this Is The Brilliant Thing That Kenyans Have Decided To Do

Any end of any year brings along with it endless parties across cities and towns and homes and villages.

People congregate in all corners to say 'kwaheri'  to a long year and party the gone months away.

Kenyans are experts at partying... You already know that. Ok, Ugandans are really trying to take this honor away from us but it'll be a battle.

Traditionally, Kenyans go to Naivasha, Mombasa, Nakuru and Kisumu to party their hard-earned cash away and engage in all manner of hedonism.

Mombasa has always been the party capital as thousands flock to the historical city not just for the sun and the sand but also for the bikinis, the girls, the wildness , the sex and the bouncy butts.

And as if to cash in on the impending hurricane of humanity that's about to flood the Coast, some smart guys with a smart App have now started what looks like the wildest end of year party yet.

To be held in December 31st, which is essentially the most party-crashed day of this month, these guys are bringing you the , a party that has been organized and put together by the creators of the highly-ranked Bopit travel App.

Speaking anonymously to Ghafla, one of the organizers put it very bluntly,

" this is the kind of party you need a warning before attending. It won't be just any other party. Just any other beach gathering. This one will be Ibiza. With the madness and the wildness and everything out of control. We're really trying not to get banned... But when we finally do it, you'll hear about it for the next few weeks. It'll be the most offensive thing you ever seen. Ever. "

Well, the party is already Trending on Twitter as we speak. Goes on to show just how much dedication and effort the organizers have pumped into it.

According to the party's info on Facebook, the organizers are asking the revelers to bring a person they don't know, also there's rule that states that the party shall feature 'offensive' games and 'offensive' cocktails.

The organizers have not cleared up what exactly that is supposed to mean.

Also, the last thing they're promising seems to be the most objectionable as they clearly state that the 'things cannot be mentioned so as to avoid offending non-attendees.'

Oh, and there been advised to NOT attend the party in case you're faint-hearted.

Word has it that Noti Flow, the female rapper and Nairobi Diaries star will be one of the main attractions to the gig.

It's still not clear what the fuss is all about. But soon, it looks like we might be able to look into just what Sodom and Gomorrah looks like.

Mombasa has always been the party capital as thousands flock to the historical city not just for the sun and the sand but also for the bikinis, the girls, the wildness and the bouncy butts.

The End Of Year is approaching fast.... And This offensive Party is already causing ripples

Say what you wish. But she's the Baddest in the game. And forever will be. (Apologies , STL.).

Earlier this month, Kaka Empire rapper Femi One unleashed a surprise attack on pretty much all her fellow female rappers calling them out by name and going so hard, the girl shot to national fame again.

The song was Pilau Njeri, a clear dig at that fiiiiine Gikuyu rapper Njeri who was thoroughly picked apart and hauled across the room with the potency of a malevolent beast.

<a href="internal:/article/5836166" id="63564090-b326-565e-8851-58c4ed37bc8c">Pilau Njeri Femi One</a>

In the diss track, Femi One ruthlessly thrashed all her peers and along with it, opened up a fierce and unprecedented supremacy battle between the femcees.

Kiki, a menacing firebrand, was the first to respond. Njeri herself followed it up pretty quick with while Sosoon chickened out. As expected.

Other female rappers have responded in various ways.... But now, the Queen of em all, Noti bad girl Flow, has put the debate to its grave.

They say the best performs last and Noti seems to have waited to the madness to die down before she delivers the final, fatal blow...Like that last, bloody bite in a horror movie that we all didn't see comin'.

Her reply is called <a href="" id="8ab552a5-536b-5e33-9482-c166818adb49">'Forehead'</a> a merciless attack on Femi One's bulging forehead.

She then goes in on the poor rapper, calling her and her management out, throwing a few boastful lines around, reminds the world just who's the Queen, hilariously mocks the entire King Kaka conglomerate calling them 'Empire ya Ma Foreheads' and even takes a bold dig at King Kaka himself declaring, I eat rabbits for lunch, /My lines coming in bunch /
