Singer Eko Dydda chased away by drunk students before performance: He’ll start preaching to us 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Gospel singer Eko Dydda can testify he recently had a direct encounter with Satan while trying to spread the word of God.

The Vidole hitmaker was recently forced to cancel his performance after drunk Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) chased him off demanding they want a secular artist.

Not today

The singer was set to perform at the cultural week but things turned ugly after students demanded he shouldn’t perform because he’ll start preaching to them.

“We do not want gospel singers in this mood. We need someone who can rock when we are this high. Eko will start preaching to us, let him go!” the students said.

Still, Satan didn’t win. Not completely. Fortunately, the event organizers had already paid him KSh. 50,000 to perform between 1 am and 4 am.

Gospel singer Mwihaki opens up of the embarrassment she got after getting divorced

Singer Kaki Mwihaki  has opened up on the embarrassment she got after getting a divorce. The singer, who belongs to Adawnage band, shared that she faced depression after her parting ways with her hubby.

“Marriage is a beautiful institution created by God and ordained by Him for His glory. Sadly, only a few people get the technicalities of this institution right. Three years of marriage, a quiet ­five-month separation, followed by divorce, is not usually the blueprint in any girl’s plan. Yet, this is where I found myself and I made the decision to­ file for divorce, based on my understanding of my options,” she said. 

Hiding for two years

After the divorce, it took almost two years to recover. She went into hiding as depression took the better part of her.

“The divorce literally silenced me. I felt I couldn’t come out and talk about it, the stigma and depression of it all shut me up. 

“The church also almost requires you to remain silent about it because ‘love covers a multitude of sins’. I was silenced, silenced by shame, silenced by divorce. Marital counseling, Pastoral guidance, interventions from family and close friends amidst emotional turmoil was part of the journey I had to walk through,” she said.

She went on:

“Two years ago; I sunk into depression and battled my lowest moments ever! I came face to face with rock bottom and it was my dwelling place.

I had nothing to look forward to and being alive was nothing but pain. I prayed that he may take my life but morning after morning He kept me.”
