Alex Mwakideu Celebrates Two Decades in Broadcasting

Posted on by Ozymandias

Kiswahili radio icon Alex Mwakideu is celebrating 20 years in the broadcasting industry with a lavish event.

The Radio 47 presenter hosted the celebration at Sarit Centre’s Alloy Lounge on November 20, marking his milestone in style. Invited guests, dressed in black and gold as per the event’s theme, expressed their gratitude for the thoughtful invitations.

The guest list included notable names like Wilbroda (Nyaminde), Mwende Macharia, Jalang’o, MCA Tricky, King Kaka, Dr. Ofweneke, Obinna, Vijana Barubaru, and Churchill. Jalang’o and Mwakideu, former co-hosts, were fan favorites during their time together on air. Mwakideu hinted at a possible reunion, saying, *“We’re in talks, so something might come up soon.”*

Reflecting on the dynamics of radio partnerships, Mwakideu shared how initial collaborations can often be tense. *“When you’re assigned a new co-host, like Jalas or MCA Tricky, there’s usually some behind-the-scenes friction. People don’t know this, but there’s a lot of conflict at first.”*

Despite the challenges, Mwakideu described his journey as fulfilling. *“It feels incredible. Two decades is no small feat. Celebrating with my people here today is truly amazing,”* he said.

He recounted how his entry into radio began unexpectedly. *“The news anchor got stuck in traffic, and I was told, ‘This is your time to shine.’ Luckily, I had trained for such moments. I went on air, did my best, and that’s how I got the job.”* Despite not having studied journalism, his natural talent and determination paved the way.

Initially working as an actor and voice-over artist earning Ksh 5,000 a month, Mwakideu transitioned into radio by reading commercials. His strict work ethic played a key role in his success. *“I don’t tolerate nonsense. Anyone who has worked with me knows this. We would often argue after shows,”* he admitted.

Jalang’o, he revealed, was his most challenging co-host. *“He’s incredibly stubborn and confident. Working with him wasn’t easy,”* Mwakideu joked.

Fans showered Mwakideu with congratulatory messages:
– **@nyakwarnjago**: *“You’ve been so inspirational, educative, and entertaining. May God bless you, Kaka!”*
– **@rowel.mwamba**: *“I’ve followed your journey step by step. Congratulations!”*
– **@eli_omundu_khumundu**: *“Congratulations, chairman!”*
– **@e.foresther**: *“Mad respect. Congratulations!”*
– **@mavo_onthe_beat**: *“Congrats, Master!”*

Mwakideu’s two-decade journey stands as a testament to his passion, resilience, and dedication to the craft.

Mwakideu Addresses Rumors About Working for Adani After Being Linked to WhatsApp Group

Posted on by Ozymandias

A whistleblower has alleged that Alex Mwakideu, along with other influencers, was compensated by a Kenyan marketing firm to enhance Adani’s public image. This claim includes information about a ‘sanitisation’ WhatsApp group, where Mwakideu is said to be a member.

In response, the popular Kenyan radio presenter has strongly refuted these allegations, stating he has not been paid to promote a positive narrative about Adani on either radio or social media.

The accusations were made by an X user named Nelson Amenya, who is reportedly the whistleblower behind the controversial deal between Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Adani. Amenya urged the public to scrutinize Mwakideu’s social media activities and listen to his show on Radio 47 for evidence of him defending Adani.

Amenya contends that Mwakideu and other influencers were hired by a marketing agency to improve the perception of Adani, claiming that Mwakideu’s on-air comments appeared to support the Indian conglomerate.

“Alex Mwakideu has been paid by a marketing company to portray Adani positively on the radio. His comments make it seem like he is defending Adani, almost as if he has been compensated,” Amenya stated.

He also shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp group, alleging that Mwakideu’s membership was part of a coordinated effort to enhance Adani’s image in Kenya.

In his rebuttal, Mwakideu challenged Amenya and others making such claims to provide solid proof of any involvement in a paid campaign for Adani. He even offered a reward of 1 million Kenyan shillings to anyone who could present evidence of him defending Adani online or on air.

“I don’t know who posted this, but I hear he’s called Nelson Amenya. Check all my social media pages, listen to Radio 47. If you find any evidence of Alex Mwakideu defending Adani in any way, I’ll give you 1 million shillings cash. There’s no time limit on this offer, so take your time. All the best!” he stated.

Mwakideu also questioned the significance of the WhatsApp group, asserting that being part of a chat does not imply wrongdoing.

“Which WhatsApp group is this? Kenyans are waiting for your evidence. I’m waiting too. Show evidence of where I was paid or where I defended Adani. Just being in a WhatsApp group is not proof,” he remarked.

Mkamburi Chigogo, a presenter at Radio47, has said that she will miss working with her former co-host Emmanuel Mwashumbe. Mwashumbe has left Radio47 to join Alex Mwakideu on the morning show at Milele FM.

Chigogo said that she will miss Mwashumbe’s support and lack of drama. She is now hosting a new show called Mchikicho, which airs from 10am to 1pm every day of the week.

Mwakideu’s move to Milele FM comes after a week of uncertainty. He had initially said that he would be staying at Radio47, but then announced that he was leaving. He has said that he is excited to start a new chapter at Milele FM.

The move is a major coup for Milele FM, which is hoping to boost its ratings with the addition of Mwakideu. He is a popular presenter with a large following, and his move is expected to attract new listeners to the station.

Radio47 is also hoping to continue to be successful without Mwakideu. Chigogo is a talented presenter, and her new show is sure to be popular. The station is also planning to launch a new morning show, which will be hosted by a different presenter.

It remains to be seen how the changes will affect the two stations. However, it is clear that both Radio47 and Milele FM are committed to providing their listeners with the best possible programming.

Alex Mwakideu Departs Milele FM for Radio 47

Posted on by Ozymandias

After five years at Milele FM, popular radio presenter Alex Mwakideu has announced his departure from the station. He will be joining Radio 47, a media outlet under Cape Media that also operates TV47.

Mwakideu will be co-hosting the morning breakfast show alongside Emmanuel Mwashumbe, known by the alias Mbappe. The show is scheduled to debut on Monday, August 28, 2023, running from 6 am to 10 am.

Mwakideu’s move to Radio 47 comes just a week after he addressed his listeners on social media, reassuring them of his continued presence on Milele FM. However, he later clarified that there had been a misunderstanding with the management of Mediamax, the parent company of Milele FM, but that it had since been resolved.

In a statement, Radio47’s management confirmed that Mwakideu’s move to the station was imminent.

“Alex Mwakideu joins Cape Media-owned Radio47 starting this Monday. He will be hosting the ‘Breakfast 47’ show alongside Emmanuel Mwashumbe,” the company said in a statement.

Mwakideu’s journey in the radio industry saw him make a significant transition from Radio Maisha, where he had spent eight years, to Milele FM in August 2018. At Radio Maisha, he hosted the morning show, which was subsequently taken over by comedian Captain Otoyo.

Mwakideu’s decision to join Radio 47 marks him as the latest in a growing list of notable media personalities who have aligned themselves with both Radio 47 and its sister entity, TV47. Just recently, former Citizen TV presenter Willis Raburu made his debut on TV47, where he will be hosting a show every Friday at 10 pm.

Mwakideu is a highly experienced and respected radio presenter with a proven track record of success. His move to Radio 47 is a major coup for the station and is sure to boost its audience numbers. I am confident that he will be a great addition to the team and I look forward to hearing him on the airwaves.

Alex Mwakideu finally comes clean on rumours claiming he cheated on wife

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Alex Mwakideu a few months was exposed for allegedly having an affair with Irene Barungi, who also works at Milele FM.

The expose done by Edgar Obare portrayed Mwakideu as a good liar who knows how to hide his tracks. Despite the stories going viral Mwakideu maintained his silence until just recently when he opened up sharing his side of the story!

Speaking to his listeners during his morning show, Alex Mwakideu started off by acknowledging that the truth always sets someone free and this is what he had now decided to do! He went on to say;

There is a sense of peace you have when you say the truth. Recently I was trending on social media. There was a ‘ngamia’ I don’t know that wrote a story about me.

Just like the rest we have heard from before, the presenter denied having cheated on his wife and mother of his children; but blamed the ‘blogger’ for spreading lies through his platform.

Unlike Jalang’os exposè, Mwakideu was lucky to have Kenyans behind him – as most still don’t believe that the church man with good morals is capable of cheating on his wife. And for this reason Mwakideu went on to add;

But Kenyans supported me a lot saying “Mwakideu can never do such things.’ But the truth is, all those that were written did not happen. I tried to explain to the mother of my children not to believe such stories because they were not true.

Mrs Mwakideu’s reaction

Although I can tell you that Mwakideu must have put in  some hard work – trying to convince his wife about his alleged infidelity; especially with receipts from the IG slay queens…. the presenter managed to save his family at last.

He went on to add;

It reached a point I said my whole truth without hiding anything. She listened, there were done things that hurt her a bit; but she was happy I said the truth and from there we were at peace.

Like I said, I bet this is wasn’t as easy as he narrated it – but being a wise man at least he owned up to his mistakes!

Jalang’o quits Milele FM

Media personality and comedian Felix Odiwuor, popularly know as Jalang’o, has called it a day at Milele FM where he has been hosting the breakfast show with Alex Mwakideu since July 2018.

Taking to Instagram, Jalang’o revealed that he has been having discussions with the powers that be at Mediamax but their talks did not bear any fruit.

“I was not at work today because we had not agreed on a lot of things and terms and even as we speak my HR had me on hold discussing the terms of my employment,” he wrote.

Milele FM co-hosts Jalang’o (left) and Alex Mwakideu (right)

He went on to add that his last day at the media house was Friday, June 19 and went on to thank the people that have supported him during his 2-year stint.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t agree. So just like that I won’t be at work tomorrow or any other day. I want to thank everyone who supported me and every fan who was with us to the point that we became the most popular no 1 radio station in the country,” Jalang’o added.

His announcement comes; barely hours; after it emerged that Mediamax had fired all its newsroom staff and spared only 2.

According to a source, the employees who were shown the door refused to agree to 50% pay cut that that had been proposed by the media house. Interestingly, they even laid off people who had accepted the 50% pay cut.

Crucial lessons Kenyans can learn from Alex Mwakideu’s cheating scandal

Posted on by David Kingsley

As you may or may not know, a few days ago, popular YouTuber and blogger Edgar Obare exposed the philandering ways of Milele FM radio presenter Alex Mwakideu.

Also read: Alex Mwakideu’s infidelity exposed as Edgar Obare introduces ‘Porini boys’!

Obare, who is known to expose public figures, shared Instagram screenshots that showed Mwakideu arranging for a meet up with his alleged side chic – Irene Barungi – so that they can do the nasty.

In the leaked conversations, the two are seen referring to each other as ‘babe’ before the media personality asks for a teaser of what awaits him.

When the scandal broke out, many people, including myself, expected Mwakideu to come out guns blazing and claim that the conversation is fake while pointing a finger at his detractors but none of that happened.

Instead, he opted to keep quiet and acted like he was not the talk of the town. I know this because I kept checking his social media accounts for a statement. Before we knew it, Kenyans had forgotten about the scandal.

There’s a crucial lesson that other people who are in the limelight and Kenyans in general can learn from all this and that is the fact that the more you talk about something is the more it sticks in people’s minds.

Truth is that if Mwakideu had gone the Jalang’o way and issued a statement on his social media accounts, we would still be talking about it to date because, well, he has given us a reason to continue talking about it.

By completely avoiding the story, despite the criticism he got on social media, it died a natural death and that means that it’s up to whoever who saw the screenshots to decide if the presenter was really sleeping with his colleague.

And to be honest, it doesn’t really matter whether they are having an affair or not because they are of legal age and I believe they are not mentally incapacitated.

Alex Mwakideu is the latest victim of Edgar Obare’s exposee!

According to reports, Alex Mwakideu has been secretly seeing a radio presenter from Milele FM called Irene Barungi. As seen on the instagram posts, Edgar reached out to both presenters hoping to get a response; but unfortunately the two never responded.

Being a credible news outlet, Edgar chose not to kill the story but share some of the evidence linking Mwakideu and Barungi together.

The screenshots prove that the two might have been sleeping together.  In the conversation the two are seen discussing how much they enjoy each others company especially after smoking some Marijuana.

However exposing Mwakideu left many of his fans confused on who to support between Edgar and Alex. This is probably because Mwakideu had given many hopes of finding a loyal man like him; only to realize he is no different!

Fans troll Alex Mwakideu

Earlier today as Mwakideu posted a new flaunting his x5 but what fans were more interested in, is his affair with Irene Barungi.

In the comment section most of the fans bashed him for cheating on the mother of his children; yet is the first one to act innocent on social media and radio.

Others went on t bash him and Jalango for hosting a show based on relationship; but behind closed curtains they are the ones sending their wives to bed in tears. One fan by the name of Nandwa left a comment saying;

Alex Mwakideu

nandwa.nandwa???????????????????????????? Watu wa ignore the nonsense blablabla aki let a spade be called a spade not a big spoon congratulations bro keep up

Although not everyone is criticizing him, there are those who have been encouraging him to ignore the stories circulating online. Well, of course there are those who understand that he could be facing a hard time at home; but this is also a lesson well learnt for the guy.

Below are some of the deleted comments left under Mwakideu’s post.

After learning that he is now expecting another baby, fans have gone ahead to congratulate the radio presenter for the job well done.

Although the couple has not confirmed whether they are pregnant or not. But judging from the photo shared by the Milele FM presenter; fans should probably sit back and wait for the arrival of the baby since the two rarely share any baby bump photos.

This will be the 4th child Mwakideu and his Miriam will be adding to their gorgeous family. Being a father of girls, Mwakideu must be counting himself lucky for the blessings he has been receiving since marrying his better half.

January has been a dark month to many people, Milele FM presenter Alex Mwakideu lost his sister Emmy Mwakideu who died on Friday January 11th.

5 photos of Alex Mwakideu’s elder sister who wanted to commit suicide because of Robert Burale

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Pastor Robert Burale was once married to Rozinah Mwakideu, the elder sister of radio host Alex Mwakidue but their marriage crumbled after only a year and only two days.

In a recent interview on Radio Jambo, Rozinah revealed that Burale frustrated her to a point she contemplated committing suicide.

She, however, managed to leave him, ignore naysayers and start a fresh.

Manipulation

According to Rozinah, Burale was deep in debt and manipulated her in different ways especially when he was on the wrong.

“Robert had so many things he was hiding from me in the name of being a pastor… I was expecting him to change. I became suicidal in that one year I lived with Robert because there was so much I was going through but I feared what people would say if I left. My mother is a prayerful person and that helped me,” said Rozinah.

Though Burale hasn’t addressed her claims, he confessed a while ago that he had huge financial issues that frustrated his ex-wife.

Rozinah has not re-married since she parted ways with him and neither has Burale.

Here are her photos:
