    I will never look at Yvonne Okwara the same way again.... This is truly amazing...I have a lot of mad respect for what Yvonne Okwara did....As Joyner Lucas once said in his jam 'Will' "...Ain't nothin' worst than losin' your hero and couldn't say bye, And we never know just when it's our time, the legends are gone and we don't know why,So before they go, look here go a toast so give 'em a rose while they still alive... " Let's appreciate the people who have been good to us and remind them of that while they are still alive.

    Two of my favourite presenters @ Capital FM were Eve D'souza & Muthoni Bwika and to hear how Jimmi midwifed their talents is amazing! God places you in places of position / place of authority to be other people's destiny changers without even realising it!

    12:09 Jimmi Gathu got me at Intelligent Radio... That is so deep...Apart from wanting to have intelligent radio, I think for the sake of having wider perspectives on issues, if you have your radio presenters with varied backgrounds, that goes a long way in making your radio listening experience interesting.

      Johnstone Mwakazi used to go to All Saints Cathedral. Born again, he was very encouraging when attending youth church, he was sooo optimistic and really trusted in God. At that time I think he had walked to church or he mentioned at some point how he wasn't raised with much but was Godfearing, the next time we hear him on Radio, I'm like ......but God. So Jimmie, you're just a great destiny helper.
