On the same day Bikozulu’s blog managed to collect over 6m for Jadudi, a young Kenyan with a brain tumour, NMG announced a fall in profits.
If NMG had put up the appeal I doubt they would even have reached the 1m target.
But I guess NMG will continue with its endless Raila This, Raila That headlines, forgetting one stark reality; THE MAIN MARKET FOR ANY CONSUMER GOODS IN KENYA IS NAIROBI AND WHAT IS CALLED THE CENTRAL KENYA REGION - the counties of Nakuru, Machakos, Kiambu, Nyandarua, Nyeri, Murang’a, Embu, Meru, Tharaka-Nithi, and Kirinyaga.
If consumers in these regions get pissed with you you are ferked. NMG seems to have a death wish. Am giving them five years.
Kwanza wacha Dennis Chebitweiy ang’oe ads za serikali tuone.
Part of the reason I stopped buying newspapers, I wondered what goes on in the heads of these editors when they put political stories on the headlines day in day out like there are no other issues affecting Kenyans. While at the same time the politicians are driving the country to the dogs by their greed and corruption. Stupid media.
So would you rather they display Kamwana’s picture on the front page everyday? And in any case, are you sure they display Rao’s stories on their cover on a daily basis? Hapo unatudanganya though I agree with you that NMG and other Kenyan newspapers will struggle to maintain readership in the coming years.
I challenge any of you who has not gone to Bikozulu’s blog to do so - that’s the kind of writing I would like to see in our newspapers. A prominent alcoholic who is struggling to kick the habit. The diary of a fat girl trying to grow thin. Etc etc
Hii maneno ya endless siasa imechosha mpaka Obama bana…
Probably, you are not an avid reader of the Daily Nation. There’s more than the siasa. Wacha sisi tuendelee kununua gazeti juu ya tenders and contracts.
Very true alot i shappening in the republic of kenya, in terms of development, na wao bado tu all they can cover ni politicians criss-crossig the country. I was in Nyandarua the other day and they have very gud technology for growing crops. If it can be adopted everywhere, pple would have more shillings in thier pockets.
