We realise we are late in bringing you this sad news but Africa has lost one of her foremost fashion designers. Patou Manga, known for his signature fashion pieces “Patoustyle” which brought him close to hip hop legends and fashionistas like P. Diddy, Kanye West and other big names in the fashion industry, is dead….
Let’s talk about sponsors, sugar daddies, sugar mummies, Nigerians and the women of Kenya! It is a known fact, Nigerians can never live anywhere without being conspicuous for whatever reasons; positive or negative. Almost everybody all over the world knows at least a Nigerian, for good or for bad. In Kenya everybody knows a Nigerian….
Where do we start during this, the latest Africa Web TV’s trip to Kenya. Well let’s start at with our visit to the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC). The KICC in itself is impressive but standing atop the 105-metre building, one becomes a witness to a spectacular view of Nairobi that many visitors and tourists…
Dear James, I am writing you this as a result of the picture you posted in a Facebook group we both belong to. I think the picture tells a poignant story. I have read the reactions so far. As to be expected, they vary from disbelief to denial, from acknowledgement to acceptance. Some reactions are…
Last day in Nairobi and it feels like I just arrived yesterday. To those who might not know it, I am in love with this city. It is the only place in Africa that truly feels like home. In fact it is home to me now. I have travelled to several countries in Africa. 3…

Today was my first full day in Nairobi and it was my lazy day. I decided I was just going to take the day off and chill. I am staying in one of those travellers’ hotel this time around. It is in the middle of the bustling heart of Nairobi city. On my previous visits…
There is a first time for everything. Today was the first time I almost missed a flight. The curious thing was that I was at the airport at least 1.5 hours before the flight was scheduled to take off and still I almost missed the flight. Here is the story. I was on my way…
Let’s be honest, when you hear the word “Somalia” what are the first thoughts that come to mind? War, lawlessness, poverty, hunger, pirates, failed state and most of all, bombings, terrorism and Al-Shabbab are the things many associate with Somalia.
