Gospel singer Owen Mwatia aka daddy Owen has been on the receiving end, after claiming that Kenyan media was busy talking cheap politics, instead of educating citizens on Coronavirus, which has been declared a pandemic by the World Health organization(WHO)

He went on to question the preparedness of the country just in case Covid-19 hits the country, and whether the media was only waiting to report the negative effects that will arise from it's spread.

Daddy Owen lectured by Netizens after accusing Kenyan media of not educating Kenyans on Coronavirus

“Kenyan media is busy talking about cheap Politics instead of taking time to educate the citizens about Corona Virus which was declared pandemic! How are we prepared as a Nation? Or they are waiting to write negativity when it hits Kenya? <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23coronaviruskenya">#coronaviruskenya</a>,” tweeted Daddy Owen.

“Kenyan Media! <a href="https://twitter.com/WHO">@WHO</a> just declared Corona Virus a pandemic! Hapa Ni siasa duni Kila siku instead of addressing and educating wanainchi <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/coronaviruskenya?src=hashtag_click">#coronaviruskenya</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CoronaVirusUpdate?src=hashtag_click">#CoronaVirusUpdate</a>,” he added.

His tweet caught the attention of Kenyans on Twitter, with some going ahead to scold the singer for his remarks, while others seemed to be in support of his statement.

Here are their reactions;

<a href="https://twitter.com/Akisawandera">@Akisawandera</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/mqhlay/">@mqhlay</a> you have a patient here!

<a href="https://twitter.com/mqhlay">@mqhlay</a> He can't read. He can only tweet. Worst form of illiteracy.

<a href="https://twitter.com/MikeOkinyi">@MikeOkinyi</a> Hapa ametuangusha! Media has been on this story for the last three weeks. With updates and dos and donts. Hii ni ignorance pas <a href="https://twitter.com/daddyowenmusic/">@daddyowenmusic</a>

<a href="https://twitter.com/OliverMathenge">@OliverMathenge</a> Brother, please allow me to assist you with various informative pieces on coronavirus by Kenyan media.

<a href="https://twitter.com/felix_asoha">@felix_asoha</a> People are always easy to attack us even when we have done our best to inform and educate Kenyans on what concerns them.

@Martowachira Thank you @OliverMathenge , not sure whether it’s fashion attacking the media or clout chasing?

<a href="https://twitter.com/PKimatia">@PKimatia</a> uko kwa politics dio wanapata Ile brown envelope, to advance political agendas for politicians, no patriotism in our nation

<a href="https://twitter.com/SammiNderitu">@SammiNderitu</a> Bro, we have a lot more to talk about. How about Kenyan Gospel artists coming together to push for a peaceful country, unity and the need for the youth to be actively involved in active policy making and not just being tossed around by politicians?

<a href="https://twitter.com/Erickochief">@Erickochief</a> The media should not copy paste google articles Corona Virus, we need more information on how the country's preparedness, comparisons between what we have and what other countries, for example Australia or Iran that have already been hit have....

Attention seeking?

#UhondoMtaani is once again on the roll with some of the most exciting entertainment stories that have hit the headlines this week. Let’s get down to business;

Shame on you Harmonize

Harmonize under fire after snubbing Diamond's birthday

Tanzanian singer Rajab Abdul Kahali aka Harmonize found himself in trouble with a section of WCB fans after failing to wish his former Boss Diamond Platnumz a happy Birthday. Just to take you back, the day was special to Diamond as he also welcomed his fifth child on the same day. What would a simple ‘<a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/fans-attack-harmonize-as-he-snubs-diamond-platnumz-on-his-birthday/zmj4tzt" link="null" rel="noopener noreferrer">Happy birthday or congratulations</a>’ cost Konde Boy?

Other celebrities across the world actually took to social media to celebrate Chibu for his continuous contribution in the music industry.

Many expected that the former WCB first born would follow suit and join others in sending their birthday wishes to Diamond but Konde Boy did not bother as he went on posting own pictures and the progress of his new business KondeBoy Mgahawa.

From Uhondo team, Harmonize snubbing Diamond’s big day was wrong move and it clearly gave the impression that he did not walk out of WCB Wasafi in good faith, as it had earlier been reported.

Is he burning bridges that made him who he is? Only Harmonize knows better.

Wema Sepetu faints as her birthday party continues!

Wema Sepetu allegedly faints during Private Birthday Party

#UhondoMtaani has learnt that Tanzanian actress, Wema Sepetu fainted during her surprise private Birthday Party. Very unfortunate!

According to Global Publishers, Ms Sepetu fainted from Low Blood pressure, causing panic among guests who had attended the party.

Despite of the unfortunate incident, the <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/wema-sepetu-faints-in-the-midst-of-her-surprise-birthday-party/9zmdktf" link="null" rel="noopener noreferrer">party is said to have continued</a> as those who had attended celebrated until she returned home from hospital.

The surprise party had been organized by her close friends and family members to celebrate the Tanzanian sweetheart as she turned a year older.

The source revealed that it was the third time the Tanzanian beauty has fainted in the past few months.

Is everything okay with the Miss Tanzania 2006? Should we be worried?

So we all know the story of Betty Kyallo and her marriage to ex-husband and how things played out to where they currently are. Not 100% though ha… ha.

Despite that being part of her life #UhondoMtaani can authoritatively say that Mama Ivanna is swimming in deeps water of love, but this time round with a mystery man. This is one man we only hear about and remain guessing who it could be. <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/betty-kyallo-pours-out-her-heart-to-boyfriend-as-he-turns-a-year-older-fans-react-to/3mb35tt" link="null" rel="noopener noreferrer">Majority suspect he is a mzungu</a>, but hata sisi hatujui.

Betty is yet to reveal the identity of her king, though last year, she posted photos of her hubby’s hands while on a vacation, days after ex-husband Dennis Okari’s wedding.

On Thursday, the stunning TV presenter took to social media to wish her mysterious boyfriend a happy birthday as he turned a year older.

She posted a photo of him in a swimming pool with the caption “My baby you're the illest! Happy Birthday to you. Sema unachotaka.”

She also posted a picture of a beautiful cake written, “happy birthday my king you are the illest.”

Diamond and Tanasha welcome their baby boy

Diamond and Tanasha Donna welcome a bouncing baby boy

After weeks of waiting WCB boss Diamond Platnumz and his Kenyan girlfriend Tanasha Donna Oketch welcomed a bouncing baby boy.

This made October 2nd a special day for the Chibu family, as the day turned out to be his <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/diamond-and-tanasha-donna-welcome-a-bouncing-baby-boy-on-diamonds-birthday/1qs5y5s" rel="noopener noreferrer">(Diamond's) birthday too.</a>

Announcing the arrival of the youngest Lion to the world, Diamond Platnumz took to Twitter where he only wrote the time and date with love heart emojis, without saying what had happened.

“13:28 Oct 2nd 2019 ,” tweeted Diamond

Following the safe delivery, Ms Donna via her Insta-stories, disclosed that she was in the labour room for 17 hours and luckily she managed to deliver naturally.

“17 hours of labour at 42 weeks, natural birth, but it was all worth it. God is good, I’m now a mom to a healthy beautiful baby boy who shares a birthday with my love (Diamond). Thank You lord,” shared Tanasha.

#UhondoMtaani congratulates the two for the new born.
