4 Kenyan journalists caught on camera wearing shorts or sweat pants during live broadcast

Posted on October 9, 2020 by Gloria Katunge

Not once, not twice have journalists been spotted on camera sharply dressed in suits, only for the cameras to give the wide view and everything goes bazaar.

So what happens, is, the news anchor in question, has their formal shirt and tie in place, complete with a coat, only for it to turn out that the guy is either having some funny color of shorts on the bottom or some loose sweatpants.

1. Larry Madowo

During his time at NTV, back in 2016, Larry pulled a first one after appearing during 9pm news bulletin in a half-suit and red shorts during a live in Mombasa. He paired the attire with some sandals.

The guy is fond of the habit, just the other day, while broadcasting for BBC News right from the comfort of his home, the kid had a formal shirt and a coat on but below put on some grey shorts. Hilariously captioning: “When you’re going live on TV from home but might hit the pool after”.

2. Salim Swaleh

The NTV’s senior journalist’s case is something that went viral, anchoring 7pm news bulletin from his home’s sofa but when you just thought he had taken it so seriously, the guy later appeared on full screen with only a pair of shorts on his bottom.

3. Willis Raburu

Raburu’s case is just an exceptional one. The guy more often than not prefers his sweat pants to any formal trousers, but he can keep up with the formal shirt, coat and tie. Not once, has the guy been spotted wearing sweatpants during a live broadcast.

4. Mark Masai

The popular NTV journalist was recently anchoring the 1pm news bulletin from home, but opted to ditch the formalities for a more casual home-like look. With his white shirt, tie and waistcoat on, the guy had grey sweatpants on his bottom paired with red slippers.

Willis Raburu’s ex Marya Prude resurfaces looking like a shnack after massive weight loss

Posted on September 28, 2020September 28, 2020 by Gloria Katunge

Marya Prude has stepped out in what many would term a ‘revenge’ body, months after losing unborn baby Adana.

The lass who has come out public to prove she has healed from her past and whatever hurt her, no longer exists in her new chapter, has only been serving hot body goals with youthful looks that no one would ever imagine the babe carried a pregnancy for a good 9 months.

After her massive weight gain, clearly seen during her vacation with ex, Willis Raburu in early 2020, a dear Marya has been on a mission to shed off that baby fat that has since left her looking like a young campus babe.

This is after her recent photo, clad in a sassy, figure-hugging black dress, her face perfectly touched up, nails and hair well done and do I say, she is turning heads.

Her post-baby body snapback

Her baby pouch is no longer quite visible as she embarks on a journey to get that wasp-like waist and just live life by her rules.

She spared the day to pen a long, emotional post, admitting how tough it has been giving self-affirmation, learning to accept her flaws and forgiving herself for the past however messy it was.

Hinting that self affirmation has now become her daily morning dose and probably why the babe is now glowing, so full of life and looking much younger than her age.

“Say it even if you don’t believe. Words are powerful, it’s just a matter of time and you’ll start believing and becoming,” she urged.

Her post attracted a lot of love and thirst from her fans who could not help but stare at the charming beauty. A sight to behold whose new chapter was nothing anyone saw coming.

Willis Raburu’s disturbing posts on the late baby Adana sparks mixed reactions

Posted on September 24, 2020 by Gloria Katunge

Willis Raburu is a hurting man, still mourning the loss of his first and only child, baby Adana who unfortunately did not make it out alive.

This is after taking to his Twitter on Wednesday, publicly admitting that he misses his daughter, one he never met but one he only wishes is resting in eternal peace.

Revealing just how much strength it takes to pull oneself out of a dark place mentally and for those that managed to remain stable all through, he penned “I’m proud of you.”

Speaking to his daughter with faith that she could hear him from above, a dear Raburu serenaded his little baby girl with love, urging her to keep making noise in Heaven.

In yet another disturbing post, a sad photo of the ever bubbly Willis Raburu, talking of how someone turned a blind eye to the way he feels. And how they are now the reason he is numb because even when he tries to give them his time, it is just never ideal.

Unfortunately, his messages sparked mixed reactions from fans but what came out loudest was just how men had been restrained never to talk about how they feel nor publicly express their emotions.

Because even when they try to open up, women won’t listen or maybe make fun of them and even worse, use what they have heard, against them.

A reality that had seen many men sink into depression, because that is how society dictated a man should be brought up and should carry himself in public spaces.

Willis Raburu meant his word after revealing he would be going into music for his love of Gengetone and trust you me, he just went Big with his debut hit!

August 28, the kid paired up with Ethic’s Rekless, fast-rising rapper Breeder LW, Genge star Mejja and beauty queen, Ssaru for their jam Kalale.

Barely a week since, the video directed by veteran Kenyan producer, J Blessing clocked a solid 1M views and over. Impressed that it actually worked to his advantage, the Citizen TV journalist aka ‘Bazu’ screamed at the top of his voice;

It was not even about the massive reception but the fact that he dared to dream that he would one day find his place in the music industry and shocking enough, it blew right before his eyes. His first track had garnered so many views to his utter surprise.

For a start, for a DREAM I HAD! FIRST TIME! Thank you for believing in a dream and a vision!

Having gone viral, just like South Africa’s Jerusalema anthem, Kenyans have already stated a #kalalechallenge to mark the signature debut that was served hot!

Fans took to the comment section to laud the Wabebe fanatic for a job ruthlessly done!

“It felt like a stab wound to the heart,” Willis Raburu’s ex, Marya Prude speaks for first time since nasty breakup

Posted on September 9, 2020 by Gloria Katunge

When life gives you lemons, you can only make lemonade out of them. Something that Marya Prude Ngami, Willis Raburu’s ex embraced until it struck her that she can no longer hide the fact that she was hurting.

Taking to her gram, the ravishing beauty described her pain like “a stab wound to the heart”. A pain she wishes no one has to go through in their lifetime.

Also read: With the way Marya Prude is healing, Willis Raburu’s marriage is truly dead

But being humans, pain might have to be an uncomfortable part of our journeys. She learnt, through pain, that “there can be beauty, tenderness and freedom when healing”.

Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air!

Also read: Rare photo of Willis Raburu’s ex Marya Prude after excessive weight loss that got Kenyans talking

Healing had swept away her despair, her tears, her longings and instead shone a light that guided her through to the next phase. Even though not everyone might have the wings growing out of their backs, healing is a process that needs to be embraced to overcome the pain.

We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces.

It marks at least 4 months since the couple part ways.

Mejja is undeniably Kenya’s king of collabos

Posted on September 3, 2020September 4, 2020 by David Kingsley

If you’re a Kenyan musician and you want your song to do extremely well, then you have no other option than to look for Major Nameye Khadija, known to you and I as Mejja. The rules are quite simple.

Also read: We want the old Mejja back and we are not joking

Mejja is proving to be the King of Kenyan collabos with every subsequent release. Interestingly, very little is heard of Kristoff who held that position for a very long time but that is a story for another day, isn’t it?

Mejja with Femi One on Utawezana

Since the year began, every song that he has been featured on has topped East African charts, including the latest one with Jovial dubbed Pakate. It was released barely 48 hours ago yet it has already crossed the 160,000 views.

Of course, we have to mention Utawezana, where Mejja was featured by Femi One. It is literally the biggest song this year. We can argue until the cows come home but we both know that I’m right.

Others are Prakata, that Mejja did with Willy Paul, Kalale – which he did with Willis Raburu, Ssaru, Breeder LW and Rekless, Watoto Na Pombe, where he was featured by Otile Brown.

Mejja poses for a photo with Willy Paul

There’s also Wanani Remix where Mejja outshone every other person and Mpenzi Mtazamaji, which he did with his longtime friend Madtraxx and Ochunglo Family.

Clearly, this lad is on a roll because all the aforementioned songs are big hits. All of them. And to think that there was a time when people, including myself, said that he lost relevance after joining The Kansoul.

What drove most of us to this conclusion was that he was no longer the comical story teller that most of us grew up to love. Somehow, lost this special skill that set him apart after teaming up with Madtraxx and Kid Kora.

The Kansoul

If you are keen, I am sure you’ve have noticed how has been re inventing himself, trying to get back to the Mejja who treated us to hit like Kuliendaje, Poa, Barua, just to name a few.

That explains why every artist wants Mejja on their song. He has rediscovered himself, if that makes sense, so every jam that he is on just does well. He’s like that one ingredient that if you add to your food, it makes a big difference.

There’s a lot that that artists who are trying to make a comeback on the local music scene can learn from Mejja and that is the power of patience and re-invention. He should probably do a masterclass.

We have not seen the best of Mejja yet. Word is going around that he will soon drop another song dubbed Wamocho with Mbogi Genje and my good friend Richy Haniel. Even before I hear it, I know that it will be a big hit.

“Hakuwa anataka kucheza chini!” Willis Raburu talks about his crazy high school girlfriend (Video)

Posted on August 5, 2020August 5, 2020 by Pauline Syombua

Willis Raburu is the latest guest to be featured on Jessy Junction where he opened up about his life from primary school to where he is now.

Being in the company of MC Jessy, a comedian; I bet this is one of the most interesting interviews we have come to see so far. After interviewing Maureen Waititu he then moved to the Bahati’s and now Willis Raburu who has left fans cracked up with his untold stories from Kisumu.

First girlfriend

So it turns out that Willis Raburu has always been a bad boy always getting into trouble thanks to his cheeky personality. Speaking to MC Jessy, the Citizen TV news anchor opened up for the first time revealing reason why he was once kicked out of school.

Also read; Sad! Willis Raburu admits to doing therapy to contain his emotional sanity ever since death of baby Adana (Video)

Well, it was not because of stealing, bullying or using drugs but because of Grace. The first girlfriend he had in High school; and boy was Raburu swept off his feet by the lass.

Speaking to Jessy, Willis Raburu went on to reveal that despite having a strict father; he somehow turned out to be biggest joker in the family and unfortunately Grace made it worse.

Raburu who is known to speak out his mind confessed to having fallen in love with Grace; but for him this was all fun and games until his girl proved that she was ready to do anything their love – and this is how Willis got his first suspension.

She was crazy!

Raburu went on to describe the ex as ‘crazy’ as he had never met a woman with such characters before.

According to Willis, despite having been warned by their principal his girlfriend Grace could not keep her hands off her. At some point the two were caught romancing in the classroom which later led the two to being suspended.

Before the two weeks suspension, Raburu says the principal made it his business to embarrass him during parade time – and the shame he received on that day tormented him until he went back to being humble. Raburu went on to say;

Alikuwa kichwa ngumu, sampuli ya hii ya moses Kuria. It was really a case, we were supposed to! And they became serious about it and they (school teachers) even started weeding people out. Next time ukipatikana suspension.

Unluckily for them, they had to miss school for two weeks; yet their love probably did not last the whole term!

The loss of an unborn child, a child who made it all through the 9 months only for it to turn dark on the D-day. No child to go home with, no cries of a newborn to hear, broken hopes of a young couple best explains Willis Raburu and Marya Prude‘s broken marriage.

The pair had for the longest time hoped to build a home, one that would see their kids grow up to their optimum capacities, one that would be filled with warmth, love and happiness but a dream that was quickly cut short after the loss of their unborn baby.

Baby Adana, left the world Dec 31, 2019 before her face could shine or her cry heard. This sent her parents into distress, a long trail of unanswered questions, guilt, fear and worry but eventually they could contain it no more – they split.

Emotional distress

Just when we thought they had healed, turns out that Willis Raburu has had to undergo therapy ever since to prevent him from total break down.

Divulging intimate details during his interview on Jessy Junction, Raburu admitted it has been a difficult time, memories always triggered back making him emotional.

It is very difficult. I don‘t think people understand what that kind of loss does to you because when I think about it, I don‘t think there is any day yenye inapita and I don‘t get affected.

Also read: “You are a perfect example of fire and light and calmness!” Willis Raburu pours out his heart to Joey Muthengi

Narrating:

When we went for Covid testing as employees at Nairobi hospital, as I was being tested, all those memories came rushing back and I remembered everything – where I was parked, what I was doing and then I got emotional.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUaf_LJrzr/

He tried to contain himself but his mind and body had already given in, seeing him break down before his colleagues who did not understand what sparked the emotions.

…everybody was like, what‘s happening to Willis?

Raburu insisted how important therapy is, whether male or female – cry if it helps you heal.

Lia sana if you need to.

Citizen TV’s Willis Raburu reacts to breakup rumors!

Posted on May 6, 2020 by Pauline Syombua

Willis Raburu almost made the boychild assume that walking away from a long term marriage would be easy. However it turns out that a malicious person decided to create a story about the Citizen TV news anchor cheating on his wife with a Rwandese fine lady.

Truth is the lady linked to the news anchor is not your average next door girl but a peng with wide hips; soft looking chocolate skin, baby face; and the smile on her face only made KoT applaud Willis for allegedly upgrading from a ‘3G to 5G network’.

The rumors however lasted for a few hours before Mivanoella (The Rwandese lady) came out to address the rumors linking her to the citizen TV news anchor. According to the lass, the rumors were baseless and untrue. She went on to add that many of her friends had already forwarded the Twitter posts painting her as a home wrecker!

Willis Raburu finally speaks

Well, Mr Raburu has finally decided to address the rumors claiming he dumped his wife for a slay queen. Although he did not address the matter directly; Willis shared a meme that speaks massive especially to those who understand the message being passed by the post.

As you can see on the post below, Willis Raburu will not be addressing anything concerning his family or wife! To him, family issues should only remain in the family circle no matter what!

In Mourning

Although its clear to see that the Raburu’s have not been okay since Marya Prude delivered a still baby back on New years 2020. The loss of baby Adamma however seems to have affected Marya Prude more compared to husband Raburu.

So far Marya Prude has bt only deactivated her IG page but als deleted all her photo from IG and now her account is private after years of having it public. Indeed Marya Prude is not having an easy time dealing with the loss of her child; however we hope she gets back to her normal self soon.

Willis Raburu was yesterday congratulated for ‘upgrading’ his game by the boy child on Twitter; moments after rumor had it that he left his wife for a fine Ugandan lady; who is set to become his new bride soon.

From the tweets making rounds on social media it’s evident to see that most Kenyan men on Twitter are all about looks; and if given a chance, they would destroy a marriage without thinking twice!

Well turns out that all the congratulatory messages were for nothing as the gorgeous lady linked to the Citizen TV news anchor barely even knows who he is. This was revealed by Edgar Obare who spoke to a close friend of the lady who is Rwandese and not Ugandan.

Also read; Willis Raburu reportedly throws wife out, moves in with another woman

As seen on the screenshot shared by Obare, the lady reveals that she learnt about the story through friends who shared links to tweets claiming she was warming Willis Raburu’s bed! At one point she even reveals that the situation got her stressed up as she had no control over it. She said;

I am crying right now everybody is sending me that. I don’t even know the guy

Marya Prude and Willis Raburu

Although the couple may be facing a few difficulties here and there; we understand and value their privacy especially since they lost a child back on new year, 2020.

Dealing with the loss of a child is not something you can wake up from and move on without any pain; and for this reason there are those who have chosen to stand with Willis and Marya as they face a complicated and hard time.

KoT

As much as KoT are all about fun and games, we have to admit that this time around they may have crossed the boundaries!

This is because we all witnessed Marya Prude break down to a point of losing her faith – yet KoT is willing to push her further into depression by creating malicious stories.

Was it worth though?

Willis Raburu reportedly throws wife out, moves in with another woman

Posted on May 4, 2020May 4, 2020 by Brian Onyango

It seems all is not well between Citizen TV news anchor Willis Raburu and his wife Mary Ngami Irungu.

According to Word Is, the couple that tied the knot on May 5, 2017, is now living separately after 10 over 10 presenter cheated.

A source who spoke to the publication revealed that the couple was living in Phenom Estate in Lang’ata but they have since vacated the house.

The source further claimed that Raburu is currently putting up with another woman in Nairobi’s Kileleshwa Estate. His wife on the other hand is living in a rental in Thindigua.

It is reported that the news anchor is the one who asked his wife to move out and he agreed to rent a house for Mary and paid two months deposit after they divided household items.

In January this year the couple lost their daughter who they had christened Adana and it has left people speculating whether it is what caused problems between them.

A few days ago, Raburu was on a live-stream with Hot 96 presenter Anita Raey where he didn’t seem bothered about discussing sexual topics and it left many wondering what his wife would think about it but it now makes sense.

Read: Willis Raburu’s bold message to Kenyans in the face of Coronavirus outbreak

Posted on April 1, 2020 by Gloria Katunge

With a pandemic that has taken over the world, one that never sent a signal prior to its coming and one whose cure is unprecedented, Kenyans have had their lives change completely.

It started with one case that only rattled a few, if any. And slowly, the numbers kept rising, with no one able to tell when it will all end.

No one knows how to navigate around it, how to describe the virus, nor even how to plan for the next day.

The world is currently in shambles, as some nations recover while others delve deeper into the crisis, with the dawn of each day.

However, many have tried sending comforting messages and words of encouragement to masses across the world, in a bid to light up the gloomy faces and give hope of a better tomorrow.

Citizen TV presenter, Willis Raburu sought to speak to the heavy-laden and comfort those counting losses in these trying times, that it shall be well.

The world has witnessed mass retrenchment, many bearing job losses, not knowing who to run to or where to start.

With a couple of TV programs having been put off, as media stations try to project more hard news especially around the novel COVID-19, the 10 over 10 presenter is also feeling the heat.

He jotted:

Missing this part of the job. However My heart goes out to those who have lost jobs during these trying times, those worried about how they will make ends meet, those in pain and who have suffered any kind of loss to some.

To the affected and those infected, the media personality encouraged:

50 or whatever the new figure may be , may be a number, isolation may be a word, but to all of you going through it, take heart ????????

Having kept the pregnancy a secret for 9 months and losing the child definitely left Marya in a position that no mother can fully explain in words.

Having prepared himself to be one of the best dads ever seen, Willis Raburu has taken quite sometime to get over the fact that his daughter is no more.

New Tattoo

In remembrance of his baby girl, Willis Raburu has gone ahead to pay tribute to his late daughter by doing the most adorable thing that could tear up the toughest hearts.

Willis got a tattoo of his daughter’s arrival and death date on his hand. As seen on his Instagram, the tattoo also has what appears to be the letter of the name they had set aside to give her.

It is indeed a hard experience but judging from how Willis Raburu has been moving; let’s say things are now getting better.

Citizen TV journalist, Willis Raburu is back in the country and ultimately back on our screens.

It clocks a month since the loss of their daughter, Adana but seems like the new month, is shining some bright rays in the media personality´s life.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7-ssicparl/

The news presenter broke the news online, after sharing a photo of himself in the studio, looking closely at a ball in the air as he prepped for his TV comeback.

It’s great to be back in the game @citizentvkenya Thank you for all the love and the support, I truly appreciate ????????????????

During a live recording, Raburu – full of life – ran into the screen, just to announce that he is back and better.

Wagwan my people, niko ndani (I’m back). It is Monday and what a beautiful way to kick off February.

Before proceeding with his scheduled morning interview, in a panel of 5.

However, he did not fail to recognize and appreciate the presence of fans during his trying moments, acknowledging:

It is good to be back. I thank all of you guys who have been sending your messages, I thank you. May God bless you but for now, we are back to work

Soon after, Raburu headed to the radio studio, highly spirited and dancing to Sauti Sol and Khaligraph´s new jam ¨Yes Bana¨.

¨My life lost light…now I’m trying to find myself¨ Willis Raburu sends series of letters to his departed daughter

Posted on January 23, 2020 by Gloria Katunge

Media personality, Willis Raburu and his wife are still in the healing process, away from life´s troubles and city noises, just for some peace of mind and lost in deep thoughts.

However, his most recent post reads:

My life lost light , when my brightest color was taken… now I’m trying to find myself…the journey continues. #Reset

Making reference to his daughter´s loss – for him, she was the brightest color, that he never had the chance to look into and hold dearly.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6nKptIJcJ8/

So now, he is trying to collect the pieces and get himself back together because the journey needs to continue.

In a series of Instastories, the Citizen TV host, fond of sharing part of music lyrics, uploaded some that go:

I know you´re somewhere up there with the stars. I know you´re smiling with me from afar. I was glad I could let you know, tell you I love you before you go.

Before cautioning:

If you love me, better you tell me now.

In another of his post, he expressed:

A scar is proof that healing has occurred.

¨It is okay to question God. Don´t fool him!¨ Willis Raburu insists

Posted on January 21, 2020 by Gloria Katunge

Citizen TV journalist, Willis Raburu has urged fans to be real when talking to God in prayers regardless the situation, because only the truth makes sense before God.

His wifey, Marya Prude early in the year seemed to question God´s ways and even doubt his intentions for her after the loss of their baby girl.

Many were quick to slam her for lacking respect for God and reacting to emotions irrationally. However, Willis believes you can only stay true to yourself when you are speaking to God.

In a series of Instastories, the popular show host challenged masses to be truthful in telling God the kind of life they are living, and the challenges they are facing.

´Prayer is conversation´ he adds. Bashing individuals who pretend before God, ´thinking they are fooling him´ while, they are honest to their friends, partners…name it, when expressing their life challenges.

The ´10 over 10´ presenter dismissed characters who are ever praising God even in their darkest of moments, instead of being real with God and telling him that ´you are actually hurting and not happy with him.´

¨I miss you so much!¨ Willis Raburu pens tear-jerking letter to his departed daughter

Moments have been pretty soulful for Willis Raburu and his wife, who sought a getaway in order to revitalize. This time, he penned a long emotional letter to his late daughter.

Through his Instagram page – that we must admit has been pretty dormant apart from the status updates – the media personality started off:

My beautiful daughter, some days are easy some days are so hard.

Lost deep in thoughts, the girl´s daddy visualized:

Today I woke up trying to imagine what it would be like to watch you sleep, ( that’s the only image I have of you) what it be like you hold warm fingers, what a sleepless night would feel like. What it would be like to go to work tired Koz you kept me up at night, who you would look like now? what color of your skin? if you would drink as much milk as I did when I was your age.

Sad goodbyes

It´s as if he was talking to her face-to-face, as he colored her world.

My daughter, you are an angel now, or so they tell me and when I look up to the sky sometimes I cry, sometimes I sometimes I laugh,I want you to make so much noise in heaven, or in the multi-verse you are in. I want you to have all your the people who are with you there say “Yeap that’s Willis’ child”. I miss you so much, it’s funny that I have a picture of you but even before I look at it, your face is engrained in my heart, etched in my soul, tattooed in my very essence.

Closing off, Willis painfully admitted:

My daughter, my sweet lovely beautiful daughter, I’m sorry that you have to see daddy weak and in grief and not the pillar of strength that you and your mother need, but my daughter, daddy loves you, since He listens to you talk to Him and tell Him, daddy doesn’t understand but daddy needs help. Rest In Palaces, RIP because you are royalty. ????????????????#QueenAdana

The Citizen TV journalist went ahead to shave bald as he mourned the loss of his most anticipated gift.

Willis Raburu defends his wife after critics call her out for ‘denouncing God’

Posted on January 9, 2020 by Pauline Syombua

The loss of a child is not an easy topic especially since it would take a parent to understand the pain it comes with.

Raburu’s wife recently gave birth to a still baby following some complications that are yet unknown to the public; but so far we understand that this has not been easy for her.

Through her Instagram page a few day’s ago she went on to cry out for having not been given a chance to bond with her baby adding statements that suggest God had forgotten her.

Willis Raburu´s wife speaks her first since daughter´s loss

Everyone is so quick to tell me about God… What they don’t know is that every way I knew Him was tested and He didn’t prove Himself. So as they say you should know God for yourself, I now can say, I don’t know Him. And I don’t think I want to know him coz He left me when I needed him the most.

Willis defends wife

So far their are those who have called out Maryaprude for denouncing God and has even been asked to join an Atheist community since she saw how things turned out after so many prayers.

However, Willis Raburu has defended his wife saying that she is allowed to mourn in anyway that she finds true healing. He went on to post;

Willis Raburu

It’s ok to be you when you are in pain, I think that’s the only true way you will heal. The only true way I will heal!

The Citizen TV news anchor also added that so far it has been tough on them as they can’t believe their daughter is no more!

Posted on April 29, 2019April 29, 2019 by Pauline Syombua

Citizen TV presenter Willis Raburu and his wife Marya Prudence were excited to go for their honeymoon after days of planning, but God had other plans.

Speaking on Citizen TV, Raburu and his wife confessed that their honeymoon was a nightmare which haunts them to date.

The two recounted how the room they were booked in did not only have an unusually elevated bed which according to Marya, limited certain activities, but was also infested with millipedes and other reptile-like animals.

“This room had a bed that was too high… I had to literally climb it. And, even if you think of the activity at the junction, there were some things we couldn’t do on that bed. The room also had millipedes coloured black and red. They could appear anywhere. You could sleep and wake up, and see the millipedes on the frame of the bed,” said Marya.

Almost cried

Raburu, who exchanged vows with with his longtime lover at an upscale Runda neighborhood in Nairobi in 2017, added that the honeymoon haunted him most because he was behind it.

“It was chaos! I was like, I have brought somebody’s daughter here and on our first day, she wants to cry. And you know on top of that she was in the zone. So, there was no activity at the junction. So, ni kupendana tu like a brother and sister ( we spent like brother and sister),” he added.

Consulted first

Speaking in an interview on K24’s Talk Central, the funny man said that he consulted his bosses before the move to make sure no bad blood was created.

He also wanted to ensure that he can make a return to Citizen in case everything backfires at NTV.

“What happened was, there was some offers that were made but you know that am so into Citizen, Royal Media, Sk Macharia and you know what happens in the media is, there is such a rush, they offer you money, throw figures but if it’s not going the direction of your brand,but at the end of the day the environment where you are working is also important, I had to talk to my bosses to understand if the move was okay. I didn’t want to make a mistake because you can jump ship then it goes wrong, the direction of what they were offering was not really what am doing, I have done it before so I just went there and had a conversation and I decided to stay” said Willis Raburu.

“We met in church, at Jubilee Christian Church through my friend Pablo. He introduced me and when I saw her, l was like good Lord hallelujah. But even though I noticed her fineness, I did not do anything as I was still in a relationship. About a year passed by after we met,” said Willis Raburu.

Raburu however claims that he actively pursued Marya Prude after he broke up with Sally Mbilu. The Citizen TV presenter eventually married Prude in 2017.

“After my break up, I reached out to her. I was very sceptical so I teased her a little. She would reach out to me and I just did not reply. This was because I wanted to know whether she loved Willis the TV guy or just Willis. I cancelled dates like four times,” said Raburu.
