Naomisia is a Tanzanian based R&B/Pop/AfroPop singer and songwriter.

Her refreshingly unique sound delves into the complexities of love (of both the self and the other), dissecting its duality as something both beautiful and ugly, healing and hurtful.

Naomisia made her first appearance in the music scene in 2016 at a live event in Dar es salaam titled ‘Alternative Nights’, a platform responsible for bringing other talented artists and poetsto the spotlight.

Since then she has featured on numerous singles and albums of Tanzanian artists.

In her new single “Pumzika”, Naomisia merges her smooth vocals, in the Rachi produced track accompanied with soft R&B melodies giving relaxing, calm vibes talking about how it’s important to sometimes catch a breather in a world where chaos tends to spiral out of control.

This song serves as a reminder to find peace in a midst of uncontrollable chaos.

“The world can be extremely chaotic and we all just need to breathe sometime" says Naomisa

Adding ‘Pumzika’ is a reminder to myself to find peace in the midst of all the chaos.Especially with the crazy year we’ve all had”.

“Pumzika” is the first official single off Naomisia’s ‘WDKY - What Doesn’t Kill You’ debut EP, a 8 track project produced by Tanzanian music producer RACHI dropping March this year.

Tanzanian superstar Rajab Abdul better alias Harmonize has finally introduced his new girlfriend.

On January 6, 2021 shared a post on his Instagram stories confirming his break up with Italian wife Sarah Michelotti a month after she accused him of being unfaithful.

“Starting single life today! Officially just me and @zuuh_Konde 2021, let me see,”he posted.

Sometime in December 2020, Harmonize revealed that he had sired a child out of wedlock and had been hiding her for fear of breaking his marriage. In his recent photos in instagram Kajala is seen holding the babe.

Sarah responded to the post by saying “People are really desperate, you’ve done a DNA test twice on the baby and the results came back negative, showing that you’re not the father. But since you’ve failed to father a child of your own you are now claiming someone else’s baby".

Davido adds: "This is a special record and as a father to three beautiful kids, I know how much they mean to me and how I am ready to give them everything good the world has to offer.”

“For You” will feature in TENI’s upcoming debut album WONDALAND, out 19th March. Crafted over two years and across six cities - London, New York, Orlando, Ondo, Lagos and Abuja - the LP is a labour of love and a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish.

This year, the smartphone brand will focus on continuously enriching its products and provide suitable young and trend-setting products to users in Kenya. It shall capitalize on the synchronization of our brand, terminal, and sales in order to achieve the said target

According to realme, the smartphone maker has plans for more releases this year that will be tailored towards the needs of Kenyan millennials in line with the current technological trends to give them both value for money and comfortability.

In four months, in 2020, realme released the realme C3, realme C11, realme C15, realme C12, realme 6, and realme 7i, realme band realme Buds Q, and realme Buds Air Neo, that leaned more on design, quality, fashion, trendsetting and appealing to Kenya’s younger generation.

“We have always provided products that are suitable for our target customers. Our strategy has always been to listen to our customers and deliver as per their needs and for 2021, we will not disappoint,” said Marketing lead at realme.

Having become the first brand in the world to hit 50 million units shipped during the third quarter of 2020, the smartphone maker says he has eyes fixed on wowing the market for 2021.

Realme made inroads in Kenya and immediately gained popularity as a result of their pocket-friendly phones that sat well with the majority of Kenyans whose sources of income had been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Baraka fm presenter and administrator Triciah Babes has added another feather to her hat, she is now a musician.

Triciah will  release her debut single  'Dream lover' on Valentine's day.

She says her style incorporates contemporary Afro pop.

She hopes to do a collabo with Diamond Platnumz in future.

The talented singer is among female musicians from the Coast region who were recently recognized by the government for producing educative COVID-19 songs in 2020.

" I used to sing in the shower and my dream was to one day, release a song", she said.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has said the Government is committed to continue creating a conducive environment for small-scale traders to prosper.

The President said his desire is to see micro, small and medium enterprises growing and creating employment for the many unemployed Kenyan youth.

The Head of State spoke Wednesday at the National Cargo Deconsolidation Centre (NCDC-Nairobi) where he made a follow-up inspection of the Government warehouse which was recently expanded from a capacity of five 40-foot containers to fifteen such containers, serving approximately 400 small scale traders a day.

The President noted the expansion of the warehouse was as a result of the discussions he had with the small scale importers saying, a country can only be developed when citizens learn to discuss issues and come up with solutions for the benefit of all.

“I am grateful today we are here seeing the progress made. I want to thank Kenya Railways and Kenya Revenue Authority for working hard to ensure this facility was completed,” the President said.

As part of Government's commitment to supporting small businesses in the country, the President said the cost of local inspection of imported goods was lowered from 5 to 0.6 percent of customs value.

“During my visit on 10th November 2020, you requested me to have the cost of local inspection reduced from 5 percent of customs value to 0.6 percent. This was to reduce the cost of importation and promote growth of your businesses,” President Kenyatta said.

“As you can see my Administration is ready to facilitate growth of your businesses. Through this new facility, we have the required capacity to continue supporting the growth of your businesses, which I know will also create opportunities for other Kenyans to earn their livelihoods,” he added.

The President said NCDC-Nairobi will make it easier for the importers to grow their businesses given its strategic location at the heart of the capital city.

“This facility will simplify and facilitate your businesses considering it is at the heart of the city. All traders from Nyamakima, Gikomba and other environs will now be able to access their goods without problems,” he said.

At the same time, the President challenged the traders to be faithful in paying their taxes so as to enable the Government to continue providing key services.

He thanked cargo consolidators for supporting the Government to achieve its purpose of helping small scale traders and urged them to continue partnering with the state in ensuring businesses thrive.

“To the consolidators who are here, we thank you. If it is not your hard work there was no way goods would be brought here. We thank you for supporting small traders in this country,” the President said.

The Head of State cautioned those intending to circumvent laid down procedures saying all consolidators are required to process their cargo  containers at the new facility.

“I want to caution those with ulterior motives that we won’t allow you to do unscrupulous business. If indeed all you are doing is to consolidate cargo and you are making profit, if you are not bringing in illicit arms or illicit goods and drugs why would you not want to bring your container here?” the President wondered.

President Kenyatta cautioned politicians against dividing Kenyans saying what the country needs going forward are leaders who engage each other and with Kenyans constructively instead of creating unnecessary tensions.

Addressing a crowd that stopped his convoy in the city centre, the President said his desire is to see Kenyans working together in peace and harmony to uplift themselves and develop their beloved country and, not have unnecessary political competition.

He assured city residents that the Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) will continue to improve infrastructure and provide basic services to all.

 “We will continue to improve our city. Once the NMS under Major General Mohammed Badi is through refurbishing the roads in the CBD, they will then get into the estates and all areas to improve infrastructure and provide water and sewage services,” the President said.

 The Head of State who was accompanied by several leaders, among them Starehe MP Charles Njagua Kanyi, told off politicians who continue to insult others, saying the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) is aimed at ensuring all Kenyans coexist peacefully.
