Larry Madowo turns 31 years, here’s how his birthday went down (photos) 

If you have been thinking that BBC Africa business editor Larry Madowo is in his early 40s because of the usual social media pressure from Kenyans asking him to marry, well it’s time to shock you.

The storied journalist is now officially 31 years old and still has lot of time, in case he wants to marry.

He recently took to social media to share his birthday celebration which went down at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Upper Hill Nairobi.

Familiar faces

“Grateful for the blessing of another year. Thank you for all the kind messages,” he said. 

Familiar faces such as NTV Ciru Muriuki and Bonney Tunya were invited for the dinner that comprised mainly friends and former colleagues. Fans also wished him a happy one on social media.

Here are the photos:

After doing an interview in underwear, Larry Madowo now forced to borrow shirt after BBC came calling

Seems like news anchor Larry Madowo is never ready or, just always busy.

Sometime back in 2016, Madowo did a BBC Radio interview in his under cloths after forgetting he was scheduled for a talk. That was in Tanzania during a conference on technology and Mobile penetration in Africa called “Mobile 360.”

“I forgot about that BBC interview until we were 5 minutes out. I had no time to put anything on so I just spoke to the world in my underwear,” he said then.

Having lunch

Now, the popular journalist was forced to ask for a shirt after an abrupt BBC interview. He was on lunch when the giant media firm came calling. A friend saved him with a slim-fit  shirt that turned out perfect.

“I had to cut short lunch with a visiting friend to do this. I haven’t shaved for two weeks and was wearing a T-shirt. That’s where @shiyenzefashion swooped in to save the day with this amazing shirt fit for international TV,” captioned Larry on an Instagram post.

‘Shinda ukipiga picha kwa ndege tu’ Larry Madowo adviced to get a wife like his age mates

NTV news anchor Larry Madowo is among the celebrities we know nothing about his personal life. Unlike most celebrities who like to flaunt their spouses on social media, the news anchor prefers to keep his private life (including the person he is dating) off his social media pages.

But he enjoys sharing photos of himself touring different parts of the world however we never get to see the person taking the photos.

In a new photo shared on his Facebook page, the fella is seen enjoying a private jet and from the empty seats…l bet he was rolling like a boss that particular day. He captioned the photo;

Can I call it a private jet if I’m the only one in the upper deck of an A380? #bowwowchallenge

But one lady by the name of Essy Omullo could not let Larry Madowo enjoy his moments as she went ahead to remind him that instead of taking photos on planes…he should be hanging-out with his wife and kids like his age mates. He wrote saying;

Shinda ukipiga picha kwa ndege and your age mates are married with kids…na kichwa Kama ya chebukati

But come on! Who said he wants to marry?
