NTV news anchor Nimrod Taabu is the latest big name to leave Nation Media Group.
Known for his mastery of Swahili and eminent news presentation skills, Taabu, 41, is reportedly joining
Citizen TV as Kanze Dena’s replacementfollowing her appointment by President Uhuru Kenyatta as the Deputy State House Spokesperson.
Taabu’s colleague Jane Ngoiri took it to social media to share with the world how Nimrod was her mentor when she joined the station back in 2012.
“What an emotional day it has been. I can feel the void in my heart. I still have tears in my eyes…errr balancing tears is no joke. I never thought a day would come to say Goodbye. Nimrod Taabu has being more than a colleague; a Best Friend.
“When I joined NTV in 2012, I was star struck by this guy who I watched and always wanted to do News with…and when I met him…we just clicked. Our chemistry on TV attracted eyeballs, we connected with viewers and it has always been fun working with NTV.
“Nimrod Taabu; May the Almighty God Bless you in this New Chapter of your Life,’’ she posted.
Fellow journalist Ken Mijungu also shared the news on Twitter as he posted a photo of him and Nimrod.
‘’Onward comrade. Its been real, shine on!’’ Tweeted Mijungu.
He joins other top journalists who have left NTV this year including; Linus Kaikai, Larry Madowo, Victoria Rubadiri, Jamila Mohammed and Enock Sikolia
What’s with all the drama? You’d think Nimrod Taabu has died.
Wonder whether he gets to tag along viewers?
I thought the content is more valuable than the presenter
Hapa ni kama Nimrod alikuwa anakula slices.
haiwezi kosa. kwanza hapo kwa chemistry
NTV still has Gladys Gachanja and KTN still has Betty Kyalo. I’ll continue tuning in
The only time I remember Nimrod is when he brings those long reports from huko Turkana which I used to enjoy. Those who watch Citizens TV news will love them
That nigga has overstayed there. He joined NTV while i was still in primo en am almost hitting 30yrs
This is not factual. Kanze Dena will be replaced by Rashid Abdalla
keep your gay references near @admin , A shit hole himself
Bingwa chieth skutambui kula majani pole pole bila kusumbua meffi
I hear nation might leave NMG leaving them with "media group " tell them to ask Posta
So atakuwa akisoma news na wife yake? Balaa tupu.
Tunasema mara mingi hapa eti the only profitable outfit at NMG is the Nation.
Others are going down sooner or later.
It’s funny how one move influences other moves.
Is the government interfering with business?
he was such a colourless fellow. zero impact.
Sasa if Nimrod’s wife sees this si atadhani jamaa alikuwa anakamua Jane…
Ni kama vile transfer kwa ball ya a big player huenda…
nation walimuuza pesa ngapi?
Change is good. Wengine wapewe nyafas!
