Representing the Male Species

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, 28 September 2005 at Spirit FM
UCU hour from 8.05 PM to 9PM

Kenyan hip-hop enthusiast DJ Kim’ (John Muchina Kimani) was in the thick of an on-air battle with his co-host Esther. The agenda included four questions about relationships (written by Aiko) and Kim’ did not disappoint. He let the chick cluck before he spat out his own vibe which showed his authority on the topic. The first question asked if money can buy love and Kim’ was straight to the point. “If GOD is love, why trade love for money?”
The second question wanted to find out if boyfriends and girlfriends are necessary on campus and Esther mis-thought that “boys never grow up until their fathers die.” She added that girls mature faster than boys and can make informed choices at campus. That’s when the real man in Kim’ started standing out for the rest of us. It was 8.30 PM, halfway the show.
“Campus is one of the busiest moments in a guy’s life,” Kim’ reasoned, “And you wouldn’t expect him to spend his pocket money on a girl.”
“Love is not about money,” Esther blew out leading to a climax in the show whereby whatever anyone said after that would determine whose side was the strongest during the night. Of course there were two more questions to review but Kim’ spoke some wisdom that wonderfully provided the winning solutions.
“To maintain a relationship, you definitely need money because it is the ‘oil of the heart’ but in order to escape break ups at university, don’t get a girlfriend from your peers or age-mates.” Kim’ won’t fall for any and that’s the bottom-line. The music was rocking and the groovy tunes made the show seem like a dancehall session…
