Heavy downpour wrecked havoc in Athi River on Thursday March 15th. Massive water flooded several houses in a gated community where Jaguar and Eric Omondi stay.
Mto wa Mawe River burst its banks after heavy rains on Thursday rendering part of Mombasa Road impassable. The Nairobi-Mombasa highway was closed at Athi River after a bridge was submerged in the water following the heavy rains.
Green Park Estate
The perimeter wall of Green Park Estate in Athi River was destroyed by the flood water. Jaguar an Eric Omondi live in the upmarket estate.
Several houses at the Green Park estate which is just along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway were flooded. Photos of the estate after the flash flood reveal the massive water quantity that ran through residents’ houses.
Eric Omondi and his girlfriend flew out this past weekend to celebrate the comedians birthday in Zanzibar. Though his age remains a mystery to many, there are those who claim that he was born in 1977.
Anyway for his birthday, Eric Omondi chose nothing but the best destination as seen on his photos. Apart from the beautiful beach view, the comedian gave fans a reason to ogle his lady after sharing photos showing off her assets!
Their trip to Zanzibar comes less that two weeks after the comedian’s career almost went down the drain. This is because he was seen in a clip swimming naked with a bunch of minors.
However thanks to the support of fans and fellow celebrities the comedian survived the wrath of Kenyans on social media. Anyway below are a few photos from his birthday getaway.
Eric is finally making headlines for good a reason. The comedian who was under siege a week ago has turned the tide with his version of Michael Jackson’s hit song.
Last week Eric Omondi was the most hated man in Kenya after he was seen swimming naked with kids. The comedian is now making waves with his song ‘Be the highlander’.
Well choreographed moves
Eric Omondi must have had rigorous training to ape Michael Jackson’s moves. The comedian’s dancing was so close to the way MJ dances on his song ‘You Rock My World’.
Eric was however slower compared to the way the king of pop dances. Compare and contrast Eric and Michael Jackson’s videos below:
Njoki Chege says those criticizing Eric Omondi over his video are people whose minds are in the gutter. She states that critics chose to sexualize the comedian’s video.
Video of Eric Omondi swimming naked with children in Turkana sparked condemnation from all quarters. However a few have stood firm to defend the comedian.
Njoki Chege says Eric ought not to have apologized to anyone. She explains that the comedian was just exploring his creativity.
“Eric, I have news for you. You did not have to apologise. I am going to be one of the people who will say this, the comedian did nothing wrong. Let us first get a few facts right before I can make my argument. Eric is a great young man, with a fine, creative head on his shoulders. He is, by any standards, a successful man, one of the few Kenyan comedians who are actually funny. He is creative, ever churning well-thought out and brilliantly executed comedy videos,” wrote Njoki Chege.

Negative criticism
Njoki further says that those throwing shades at Eric are only doing so blindly. She explains that Eric’s video was an effort to parody a scene from ‘The God’s Must Be Crazy’ movie.
“Those criticising him are mostly people whose minds are in the gutter, whose hearts are so carnal, that they sexualise everything and anything without considering the context. Omondi’s video was an effort to parody a scene from the film The God’s Must Be Crazy. His video is also reminiscent of the good old days when naughty boys would toss their clothes in the bush and jump in the river for a quick dip and their cheeky friends would hide their clothes. Omondi just wanted to recreate the village life and a movie scene with an underlying theme of celebrating our African culture. He wanted to tickle us, because that is what comedians do. They strive to make us laugh, and that is perhaps one of the toughest jobs on earth.”
Ezekiel Mutua is now mentoring Eric Omondi following his distasteful video. The moral police reveals that he had a lengthy conversation with Eric before he left for US.
The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO implored parents to sue Eric Omondi the moment his video surfaced online. Eric was seen bathing completely naked with Turkana kids in a river.
Mutua says he had a lengthy telephone conversation with Eric over his video. He claims that the comedian accepted the penalties meted by the KFCB for the inappropriate video.
“Just before I left Nairobi on Thursday evening I had a lengthy telephone conversation with Eric Omondi over his error of judgement in the nude video with kids. He offered what I believe to be a sincere apology and committed to accept the penalties meted by the KFCB for the inappropriate video, even though he denies that he is the one who posted it online. Eric returned to Nairobi from Turkana on Thursday to have a meeting with me following the outrage caused by the video, but I was travelling out of the country and the meeting could not materialise. We agreed to meet when I return,” wrote Ezekiel Mutua in part.
Guidance
Ezekiel Mutua
Mutua also reveals that he counseled Eric Omondi as a father. The moral cops says that he is committed to mentoring Eric to create clean content.
“Now Eric is a gifted comedian and has been an inspiration to many upcoming stand-up comedians and creatives in general, but that video was a costly mistake. I counselled him as a father would his son and advised him to detest from such misguided notion that obscenity is the way to seek fame. We agreed to meet when I return to Kenya and resolve the matter without having to charge him in court. In fact he offered to work with us to create awareness about content regulations and sensitise his fellow artistes on the law. To err is human. Eric should know that God raised him from the gutter to international fame. He should use his talent to promote good in society. We are willing to help him get back on track. While I detest what Eric did, I forgive him at a personal level and commit to guide the mediation process and mentor him to create clean content. Content doesn’t have to be dirty to sell and Eric and other talented artistes should be role models and champions of moral values.”
NRG is indeed pulling all stops to redefine the entertainment scene in Kenya. The station has been causing ripples in the entertainment scene through the NRG experience.
Celebs like Diamond, Bahati, Eric Omondi, Robert Burale popped in for a tour of NRG radio’s state of the art studios for an NRGized dose.

Last year NRG held Kenya’s biggest jump-off party, dubbed #NRGwave which took place on 31stDecember at Wild Waters Mombasa.
Eric Omondi issued an apology a few days ago after his naked video swimming with minors went viral. Though he did it for comedy reasons, not many were impressed with the clip.
There are those who criticized him and the likes of Ezekiel Mutua wanted him behind bars! However, these are just some of the challenges celebrities face.
Focus on important things
https://instagram.com/p/Bfz3yhiFhlm/
In a new statement shared on his Instagram page, Eric Omondi addresses his critics urging them to focus on important matters than a boy who swam naked at a river.
He goes on to appreciate the attention as he has found a platform where he can freely open up on the misplaced priorities Kenyans have proven to have.
Sorry not sorry
Though he admits that the video was not appropriate to some level, Eric Omondi refuses to apologize for his career. He was born a comedian and he will use his talent to get far even when stones are thrown his way.
Eric Omondi caused a stir when he was seen bathing completely naked with children in a river. Kenyans have found a funny way of poking fun at the comedian.
In the viral video shared online, Eric is seen concealing his private parts with one hand as he enjoyed the cold bath in the river.
Tweeps have been making fun of the comedian because of his small manhood which can perfectly fit in one hand. The joke started when Luos disowned Eric Omondi.
No one wants him
Luos handed over Eric Omondi to Kikuyus saying his mother got him from Central. Kikuyus quickly disowned Eric saying he could be from Kambaland.
Kambas equally rejected Eric and turned him over to Merus. The trend went on and on as each community disowned Eric Omondi.
Eric Omondi sparked uproar when a video of him completely naked with children surfaced online. The comedian was seen bathing with Turkana kids in a river.
Many people blame Eric Omondi but in Luo tradition there is nothing wrong with what he did. People of the same sex in Luo Nyanza bath together in rivers and lakes.
The only wrong thing Eric did was recording himself bathing with the kids and sharing the video online. The comedian has since eaten the humble pie.
“I have been a comedian all my life… Many are the times that I have errored… Today was one of those days. I have offended so many. I did not in any way intend to offend anyone…I AM DEEPLY SORRY FOR THAT… ?♂️” wrote Eric Omondi.
Pressure
Moral police Ezekiel Mutua has condemned Eric Omondi over his video. He said the comedian’s act violated the rights of the children.
The KFCB boss called on the parents of the Turkana children to sue Eric for the gross abuse and indecent exposure of their kids.
Eric Omondi has assured his critics that he will never open pay-bill for his medical expenses. The comedian is said to be spending beyond his means to please his fiancée Chantal Grazioli.
Eric surprised his sweetheart with an expensive gift on Valentine’s Day. He caused tongues to wag when he was seen giving Chantal BMW X6 as her Valentine’s gift.
Cyprian Nyakundi carried out an opinion poll to determine whether Kenyans would help Eric Omondi in the event that he ends up being broke.
“Once Eric Omondi appeared on K24’s “Young Rich”, claiming to be worth Kshs. 30m. A month later, he was on the news after being evicted by his landlord for non-payment of rent. Yet the same joker, will one day open a pay-bill for his medical expenses. Will you donate?” Cyprian Nyakundi tweeted.
I will never lack
Eric responded to Nyakundi’s tweet assuring him that he will NEVER lack. The comedian states that he will be a blessing to his generation.
“While chilling on a couch I have come across a very saddening post by one blogger. This blogger twitted that @mwalimchurchill and I will one day put up a paybill seeking help. No one knows tomorrow but words are powerful and I will SPEAK mine. I WILL NEVER LACK!!! I WILL NEVER KNOW SHAME!!! I WILL BE A BLESSING TO MY GENERATION!!! NO WEAPONS SET AGAINST ME WILL PROSPER!!! I AM CHOSEN OF GOD!!! CALLED BY HIS NAME!!!” Wrote Eric.
Most celebrities put on weight after getting that money and fame. But the story is different for Eric Omondi, he is still gracefully thin even after making it big.
Larry Madowo and Eric Omondi used to rub shoulders before both of them made it big. Surprisingly Larry used to be thinner than Eric Omondi back then when they were still seeking a breakthrough.
Larry Madowo (left) and Eric Omondi (right)
Why not me?
Eric Omondi is puzzled why he hasn’t put on weight after all these years. The mischievous comedian compared and contrasted Larry Madowo and him in old photos they took together.
“Other day I was “fatter” than Larry Madowo?????? @larrymadowo #TBT,” Eric Omondi captioned an old photo he posed with Larry Madowo.
Eric Omondi now deserves an award for being the most romantic man ever! After paying for a huge welcome back billboard at JKIA for his fiancé; the comedian has again spent millions to surprise his lady.
As the world marks Valentine’s Day today; the comedian has shareda new photo showing off the BMW he just gifted his lady. Just like the billboard, the car’s number plate area is written “Happy Valentine Chantal.”

Fans react to Eric Omondi’s Valentine gift to Chantal
This has left the likes of Avril and many other celebrities congratulating the guy for making such big moves. However, others feel like Eric Omondi is setting the bars a bit too high for the boy child with such big gifts.
Comedian Eric Omondi is the son in law many parents dream of having. Apart from treating his fiancé the best way possible, the comedian recently took his In-laws to the Masai Mara where they spent a few days admiring the wild life.
From the photos shared on his social media, seems that this trip was aimed at giving his parents in law a memorable vacation.
Things between the comedian and the mixed race seem to be getting serious between the two especially now her parents are also getting involved.
Wedding plans
The couple has been engaged for about a year now and the two are set to walk down the aisle soon; however things seem to be moving very slowly between the two.
Other fans have also been asking questions about Chantal who rarely parades her love like Eric Omondi does. Anyway below are photos from the trip.
Eric Omondi asserts that he did not intentionally expose his manhood to prying eyes. The comedian further reveals why he didn’t pull down the photo.
Eric caused a stir while he was on holiday in Malindi with his sweetheart Chantal Grazioli. His private part became the talk of the nation after it was seen through a short he was wearing in a photo posted on social media.
Well, apparently Eric didn’t expose his ‘transformer’ intentionally. He says that he learnt something was amiss after he got several notifications on IG on his post.
The photo that exposed Eric’s manhood
“No, it was not intentional. I had innocently posted the picture and four minutes after it went online, I noticed that I was receiving a lot of comments on it. I logged in to check the Instagram users’ feedback. It is then that I realised that a part of my manhood was showing through my pair of shorts,” said Eric Omondi in an interview with SDE.
Couldn’t reverse the damage
Eric says he wanted to delete the photo but he realized he couldn’t undo the damage. He opted to leave the photo on his timeline because it was making people laugh.
“For a moment, I was confused on what to do. I contemplated deleting the picture, but on second thought, I decided it remains on the platform. I cannot correct God’s work.
“The most private part of my body are my bones, and the whole world knows about my skinniness. I choose to overlook what online users are saying on Instagram about the controversial picture. I am a comedian; my work is to make people laugh. So long as my actions make them laugh, I am happy.”
Eric Omondi set tongues wagging after he intentionally/unintentionally exposed his manhood. The comedian was enjoying holiday at the coast when ‘his things fell apart’.
Eric flew his sweetheart Chantal Grazioli to the coast days after she jetted back to the country. The comedian’s girlfriend had been away in Italy for five long months.
As usual Eric took to social media to show his fans how his girlfriend and him were enjoying themselves at the Coast. The comedian however showed too much in one of the photos he shared.
Eric’s manhood was clearly seen idling in a yellow short he was wearing in one of the photos he shared. The photo has since gone viral on social media.
Celebrity reactions
Nick Mutuma, Chris Kirwa, Nyota Ndogo, Joe Muchiri, Sleepy David, Otoyo all reacted to Eric Omondi’s photo. The celebs expressed mixed reactions to Eric photos.
Some were shocked, others couldn’t stop laughing while some celebs went on to tease Eric Omondi. See celebs’ reactions to Eric’s photo below:
Eric Omondi pulled off romantic masterstroke that left the whole country talking. The comedian accorded his sweetheart Chantal Grazioli a welcome party that befits a visiting head of state.
Eric Omondi erected a billboard at the exit of JKIA to welcome back his girlfriend. Chantal had been away in Italy for five months.
The lovey-dovey comedian took two months planning to welcome his sweetheart back home. Eric says he pitched the idea to StarTimes and they were impressed with it.
“I planned the surprise for two months. I hunted for a billboard which was at an exit point from the JKIA. I needed one which was at a high traffic area. The Chinese Digital service provider had placed their advert on a billboard, which I had deemed to be on a very strategic spot. I reached out to them and they liked the idea, which saw us partnering,” said Eric.
These things are not really extraordinary
Eric urges fellow men to emulate his romantic masterstrokes. He says if men are able to spoil their sweetheart they should go ahead and do it.
“These things are not really extraordinary. If you are able to do these things, do them. I opted for the billboard placement because it is a move which, until then, had not been pulled by any couple in Kenya. I’d initially thought of placing the message on a screen at the airport, unfortunately, there are no screens at the JKIA, which left me with no choice but to go the billboard way. I wanted to welcome Chantal to Kenya after five months of being away in Italy,” said Eric Omondi.
It seems that Kenyan celebrities are not the type to cheat or rather they know how to keep their dirt on the low.
While Tanzanian entertainment industry is full of cheating scandals and drama; Kenyan celebrities are just out and about trying to make more money.
The industy is getting boring
However, I do agree that something should be done to spice up the industry….at least new songs, new relationships for those who are single, wedding and of course babies!
Most of the people in the entertainment industry are above 25 years meaning its about time to settle down.
Anyway I hear most bachelors prefer hitting the clubs for stress free relationships; but now we are tired of the same old trend!
I have managed to come up with a list of male celebrities who have never been caught up in any cheating scandals. 3 are married while two are in serious relationships.
Nameless
SInger Nameless and Wahu
He has been married to Wahu for over a decade now and he is still the same loving man. He has never been portrayed as a bad husband on any tabloid and I guess he married his better half!
Wyre
After his wedding, Wyre has maintained a low profile about his wife and family. Just close friends know about Wyre’s private life otherwise all we get to see is his music videos.
Eric Omondi
Well, I haven’t come across any scandal involving him cheating on his exes. Now that he is dating Chantal, we haven’t heard or seen him with any other woman if it’s not for business.
Khaligraph Jones
Having been his lady (kashy)from way before he became famous, Khaligraph Jones has never been caught entertaining any other lady. All we know is that he is in the game to make more money.
Rashidy Abdalla
Rashid Abdalla and his wife
Though his religion allows a man to have four wives, Rashid is still with Lulu Hassan; the love of his life and mother of his kids.
Even men are jealous of Eric Omondi because he sets the bar so high. Any single lady would wish to be in Chantal Grazioli’s shoes.
Eric Omondi is arguably the most romantic man in Kenya. The comedian has proved multiple times that he has the game to make women fall in love with every piece of him.
Eric has pulled off some of the most romantic masterstrokes ever seen. Below are some the instances when Eric Omondi’s romantic gestures made tongues wag:
Chantel welcome party
On September 21st 2015 Eric Omondi caused a stir at JKIA as he welcomed Chantal to Kenya. He hired top dance crew FBI to perform for his queen when she touched down.
FBI dancers together with Eric Omondi started dancing to Patoranking’s ‘My Woman My Everything’ just as Chantal was walking through the arrivals terminal with her luggage.
Work with his sweetheart
Eric Omondi decided to work with his girlfriend as they explored their love. The most memorable work they did together was when they played Adam and Eve on Garden of Eden.
Unending PDA
Eric Omondi is good at Public Display of Affection (PDA). The comedian is always seen kissing Chantel in public, carrying her on the back, serenading her with songs and basically doing all romantic things we see on Mexican and Philippine soap operas.
Threats
Eric Omondi recently made headlines when he issued his ‘irreducible minimums’ to his sweetheart. The comedian protested Chantel’s long stay in Italy by threatening to camp at JKIA until she returns to Kenya.
Chantel left Kenya for Italy to be with her family in September 2017. Eric couldn’t stand the dry spell and decided to use threat to get Chantel back.
“My heart beat. My Love. My Queen. My Angel. I withdraw every petition that may make you unhappy. I will peacefully pitch camp at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until you come back… Please tag her for me… @miss.chanty,” wrote Eric Omondi.
Welcome party 2018
Eric Omondi partnered with StarTimes to welcome Chantal back in Kenya when she arrived on January 15th. The comedian erected a huge billboard at the airport which had Chantal’s photo.
Eric Omondi is among a few celebs who own rental apartments. The comedian is constructing a new apartment block in his parcel of land in Kisumu city.
Eric reveals that he was inspired to be a landlord after being evicted from his rental house in Nairobi West. The comedian says he was kicked out by a caretaker after defaulting on rent for five months.
He explains that he was famous and at the same time very broke. Eric’s household items were auctioned after failing to pay the rent.
“Sometime in September of 2010 while living in Nairobi West my house was locked and all my stuff auctioned… I had a 5 month rent arrear… This was during the break between season one of Churchill Live and Season two… I was as famous as I was broke… On that fateful day my neighbours watched in owe as two pick ups carried away my things and as the Caretaker “politely” asked me to step out of the house so he could lock the door… All these happened at midday… AS I walked out of the compound totally dejected…I remember saying to God “You are my LORD make me LandLord one day” Here we are today. Whatever you are going through today do not be dismayed… It could be God setting you up for your greatest moment,” Eric Omondi narrated.
It will be completed soon
Eric shared a video of his project in Kisumu county. The comedian has constructed an apartment block on his parcel of land.
Eric Omondi’s rental apartment in Kisumu
Eric is also putting up a new apartment building on the same piece of land. The comedian says the new block will be identical to the older apartment.
Long distance can be quite stressful. No amount of social media can change the fact that your spouse is miles away. And I bet this is why Eric Omondi is excited at the thought of seeing his fiancé who has been away for months.
The two love birds earlier today shared photos expressing their excitement now that they are remaining with just a few days before Chantal jets in the country. From the look of things, they both cannot wait to be together and their fans seem to be following the thread as they watch the two long for each other. Eric posted;
His fiancé on the other hand shared the post below
Chantal’s trip to Italy
Chantal’s family happens to live in Italy and this could be the reason she travelled. However, 4 months seem to be long time especially now that she is engaged to be married. So was she working or schooling? We can’t tell!
Comedian Eric Omondi counts himself lucky to have found such a beautiful lady like Chantal Grazioli. She is a Kenyan-Italian who gives many sleepless nights thanks to her beauty.
The lady is however engaged to be married and together with her fiance, Eric they seem not to be in a hurry. From her social media posts seems like the lady has been in Italy for some months now. Not quite sure whether if it is for business or pleasure but Eric Omondi must be missing her.
Earlier today the lady however celebrated her mother’s birthday with a few loving photos. What caught my attention is one of photos where she is seen as a small baby.
There is no doubt that Chantal was a lovely child and if anything her fiance is hoping that their kids will take after her.
Eric Omondi relationship
So far we understand that the fella adores his lady and this is why he wants to marry her. The two already moved in together and the only thing remaining is a wedding or child – whichever comes first to complete their small family.
Comedian Eric Omondi is the comedian of the year as named in the Starqt Awards in Johannesburg.
He shared a photo flaunting his award on his Instagram page earlier today. Eric Omondi joins the list of popular comedians in Africa.
This comes a few months after the comedian took a break in performing live for his Kenyan audience. His jokes however seem to stay alive hence the new award.
Just recently he was arrested for overlapping. According to him, the traffic police caught him red handed while driving to the Airport where he was heading to catch his flight to New York.
New projects
The comedian has lately been working on projects that have seen him fly to the United States to promote his career.
Through his Instagram page he revealed that Bonfire Adventures are the ones who sponsored his trip to New York.
Comedian Eric Omondi has now joined the list of celebrities flaunting their cash on Instagram for just fun and giggles!
He shared the video through his Instagram page describing himself as a slay king…a common title given to men who enjoy parading their money or rather wealth on social media.
This is however not surprising since we all know that he works hard for his money and could have also done this due to the boredom he is experiencing especially now that his fiance has been away for months.
Anyway, Eric Omondi continues to entertain his loyal fans through short video he makes to show his fans what he is up to.
Check out the screenshots taken from his video parading money on Instagram.
Comedian Eric Omondi is grateful to have met a man like Churchill who literally held his hand and helped him build his career in the comedy industry.
To show his appreciation Eric Omondi shared a touching birthday message dedicated to Daniel Ndambuki popularly known as Churchill who celebrated his birthday on 30th October.
Through his Instagram page Eric Omondi poured out his heart in the message below saying;
Churchill and Eric Omondi
This is literally what you did? You carried me on your shoulders and showed me the future… You discovered me…Taught me everything I know today… You are a True Brother… May God continue to shine His face upon you??? May you never lack anything. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABA
Fellow comedians also joined in to celebrate Churchill through their social media pages where they showed their gratitude to the fella who has helped them get where they are now.
Kenyan artists have come out to condemn the brutality happening in the country between the policemen and Nasa protesters following an issue that has divided both the Nasa and Jubilee supporters.
Police engaging with protesters
After Akothee shared a lengthy post talking about how she hopes Kenyans will go back to being united, comedian Eric Omondi has also come out to urge Kenyans to pray for the country since at this point no man or judge can bring peace.
The comedian shared a photo of presidential candidates Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta having a chilled out conversation and judging from how Raila Odinga is smiling the two were probably discussing a friendly issue – something that Kenyans should emulate to ensure peace is maintained in the country as we are all brothers and sisters.
He wrote saying,
Raila Odinga with Uhuru Kenyatta
I have prayed to GOD for these two Gentlemen. I have prayed for Wisdom that Surpasses human understanding. They are in a dispute and because of that we are all in a dispute. I dont know what the conversation in the picture above was about but i know they had a conversation. I know they have had tens of conversations and NOTHING should stop them NOW! I brought my petition to God because HE is the SUPREME JUDGE. But even if they do not talk I have tabled my request to the MOST HIGH… While lying Prostrate (facedown in humility, Submission and Adoration) I made my supplications to Him. I prayed that He may hover His Spirit over this land, . THERE WILL BE NO BLOODSHED!!!
Miss Chantal, Eric Omondi’s fiancé is not one who likes social media attention but once in a while she shares new posts that leave team mafisi wishing they got her before Eric Omondi met her.
This is because she is beautiful and sassy…some of the qualities men look for when picking out girlfriends. Well, this round she has given us a reason to talk after sharing a photo dressed in a swimming costume while taking a swim with her mum in Italy where they are currently having a good time.

The lady is seen in a black cut out swimming suit while her mum is seen with also a black costume. Chantal however tried to hide her mum’s outfit as she kept the camera on herself – for reasons best known to herself.
