Kenya’s renowned reggae host, Tallia Oyando, popularly known as the “Night Nurse,” has announced her departure from Citizen TV’s One Love reggae show, which airs on Saturday nights.
After eight incredible years, Tallia shared the news through an emotional Instagram post on Monday, January 20, 2025, thanking her fans for their unwavering support and for making the show a beloved destination for reggae enthusiasts.
While Tallia didn’t disclose her next plans, she hinted at exploring new opportunities, saying:
“After 8 beautiful years of love, music, and family on One Love at Citizen TV, it’s time for a new chapter. Grateful for every one of you who made this journey unforgettable. Like Joseph Hill said, ‘Love shines brighter than the morning sun.’ This isn’t goodbye; greater things are ahead.”
A New Chapter
Though her future endeavors remain a mystery, Tallia hinted at exciting prospects on the horizon and promised fans an unforgettable finale during her last episode this Saturday.
“Let’s meet for the final episode of @onelovectv on @citizentvkenya this Saturday. One Love, always and forever. ❤️💛💚 #NightNurse 🙏,” she wrote.
Reflecting on her departure, Tallia shared a heartfelt message with her fans:
“As I take a bow from One Love, I leave you with this: ‘Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds.’ Let the music continue to free your spirit, lift your soul, and unite us all. This is not a goodbye; it’s a celebration of the music, the memories, and the family we’ve built. Like the songs we’ve cherished together, my love for you will never fade. ‘Don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright.’ With eternal gratitude and One Love, I remain your Night Nurse.”
Hinting at Her Departure
Last week, Tallia had subtly prepared her fans for the announcement, referring to this week’s show as the final episode of One Love. However, she assured her audience that her departure didn’t signify a farewell to the industry.
Her One Love Journey
Tallia began hosting the vibrant One Love reggae show alongside Coco Soboo Moto on October 22, 2016. Back then, the show aired from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with Tallia anchoring the Reggae Roots segment from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, followed by Coco Soboo Moto’s Reggae Top 10 segment.
This marks the end of an era for One Love fans, but with her energy and passion, Tallia’s next chapter is sure to be just as inspiring.
