[@geffeniz]

Speechless that this guy is almost the corner stone of the way most millennials in Kenya view music and entertainment... hope has an OGW or OBS😂

[@christinenjeriwaithaka7293]

I don’t think there’s a CTA episode that has spoken to me so deeply. Waaah! Jimmi just reminded me that family is everything

[@marcusmuriithi]

I second your opinion, big eye opener

[@dennisalbert6115]

Family is everything, and the child is everything in family, we all help each other and come together for each other to be there for the kids

[@RAFIKI2029]

The great thing about Jimmi is that he just laughs it out! How can a man do so much and yet make a joke out of it. Like it's nothing. Humility 😢

[@denverkunte]

Since the time I started watching CTA, I remember Mugambi Nthiga was being interviewed, I went back to check other interviews and the ones that followed and everyone mentioned Jimmi. I longed for the day he would be on CTA. Long story short, it is worth the wait. Jimmi is phenomenal

[@ayotadhiambo]

Hope Jimmi reads all these comments aki especially yours

[@denverkunte]

@@ayotadhiambo this means a lot. But it is true that this CTA has been quite an experience and Jimmi gave himself to us

[@CoachCollo]

This is 'that one CTA INTERVIEW' that will impact many who view it. For me he made me remember I have access to 'free therapy sessions offered at my job and am taking them from next week.

[@ireneshani9178]

So raw, so vulnerable, so authentic, so beautiful, so courageous.

[@charlesmburugu1746]

Jimmi's struggle resonates.....I've been feeling a lot like a has-been lately. But I know God still has a purpose for my life...

[@larryachiya2475]

Jimmi Gathu used to speak Sheng on Alfajiri, and i admired him for that. Legend extraordinaire!

[@sabinaojil596]

I just love the authenticity of this conversation. Thanks Jimmy, I appreciate your vulnerability

[@AntonyNdungu83]

The movie is titled "MALOONED", directed by Bob Nyanja and it featured Charles Bukeko a.k.a Papa Shirandula, Daniel Ndambuki a.k.a Churchill, Godfrey Odhiambo. Was released in 2007

[@MrMajani]

Excellent memory my guy

[@larryachiya2475]

Maina Kageni hyped it in 2007! Godfrey Odhiambo acted along the gorgeous Gabriella Mutia. Wish it was on Netflix

I've never followed an interview back to back like this #MunguniMsoo thank you for giving us #JimmiGathu

[@anthonywahome1682]

Fakii+Jimmi helped craft the Kenyan entertainment industry with such passion

[@muchegew9570]

The Power Breakfast revolutionized breakfast tv programming in ke.

[@barnabusbokassa5511]

GOD ABOVE ALL..JIMMY IS A TRUE DEFINITION OF A STRONG MAN.❤

[@agnesnjoroge1638]

Who be cutting onions around here 😢😢 Talk about office politics, been there - it is terrible on all fronts, happens on multiple levels. Behind closed doors you are the buffer; on the other side of the door you are the punching bag. Theirs no winning. Wow Jimmi I still see the pain you went/are going through. I am praying for you and with you - that might help me heal as well. God will restore us.

[@nazarenewangari]

Yaani so many famous people have Jimmy to say thank you to. He's done so much!!!

[@larryachiya2475]

If you read Luke 17:11-19,you'll understand that only few, if any, go back and say thank you. It's quite unfortunate

[@nmsholdings5320]

This is eeeiiiish. I reached that situation and you just hide yourself.

[@ithankgod5733]

Jimmi, There are so many people who appreciate what you have done for Kenya. The humanity you have portrayed through out your life…helping get people to positions that they could hv otherwise been overlooked for…just being a solid dude. As solid as solid can get. I just want to thank you for being that person. Your work experience cannot be rivaled. (Hakuna mtu resume yake inakaribia yako) You will always remain relevant because Gods story for you does not end with someone putting you down. You have much more to accomplish! We LOVE you! Thank you!!!

[@larryachiya2475]

Three interviews that have touched my heart about what legends are going through out here. This interview, Visita on Iko Nini and Mr. Lenny on Iko Nini I'm happy Jimmi has slowly recovered

[@barakaSwim]

Tik Tok reminded me CTA is here I come running

[@sarahndungu6692]

Really nice to have you back Jimmi! You are a formidable human

[@elsieachieng4621]

I used to watch power breakfast daily ❤

[@user-uo9oj8vw8r]

That Papa Shirandula movie was called Malooned.

[@TendaLeoDigitalTV]

I am inspired by the Legend's story. Thanks CTA. I am badly off right now but I'll definitely figure out how to reward you going forward...

[@deejaygrandee6043]

CTA to the world.. thanks Jimmi

Deep and vulnerable stuff! 🔥🔥😌.

[@Iniry]

I think it did reach a point where big names came with unsustainable salary and every company was cutting cost hence they starting taking cheap and untalented. And i get it, all his great ideas had been taken and he didn’t feel productive to start his own or take a pay cut. He wasnt alone alot of people were in the same journey.

[@missynellie1545]

I never viewed him as a 'has-been'. I just thought as a young girl from college, he was one of those hardly accessible and untouchable media practioners.

[@madgewambui9455]

Exhale! Sigh! This one was a heavy one.

[@shizma7917]

Love you jimmy❤. Life huwa hivyo up and down.

[@STOMWABUKO]

The movie is called MALOONED. It's a Kenyan movie and I think the location was Viewpark or Hazina Towers.

[@josephinemwanyalo3642]

Jimmi is giving me hope to life...

[@Wanderlustafricanfamily]

So raw

[@reubenmunyoki]

Man! I keep wondering whether one is ever old enough to stop worrying or feeling unconfident ( at Minute 15:15) anger issues, hating on everything, not knowing what to do next Empowerment veteran💯Thank you Helped a soul✊🏾

[@antokinyua23]

Never

[@nellymakokha5683]

Powerful episode God loves you Jimmi❤

[@duncoatalaku]

I identify with jimmi 100% Our paths are somewhat similar

[@carolinemumbua4128]

Wow this is powerful waiting on the next

[@douglaskiambi1785]

K24 is the graveyard for talented media practitioners

[@stevenguru4374]

Quite a story.

[@stevemuema303]

What others think about you is none of your business. Let them think or believe whatever they want to. Everyone has the right to think whatever they want. Similarly, you have the right to ignore everyone who backbites you. Here are some ways to ignore what other people think about you and work on yourself. Don't feel sorry for yourself.

[@larryachiya2475]

I live by this philosophy Steve.

[@stevemuema303]

@@larryachiya2475 Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

[@MrJkmwangi]

@@stevemuema303 That's my thought too! Caring too much what others think of you will destroy your self confidence...

[@johnshakespeare1257]

jimmi ni Legend.

[@sirgeometry4057]

Next bring big Ted maze

[@cta101]

When you see cutaways in videos those are actually from the interviews that have happened on CTA. Big Tedd has already sat on the seat. Watch it here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4vHnXShmZuFaLs

[@sirgeometry4057]

Oooh nice...loving it

[@williamunga]

In as much as I've not listened to the whole of it, I can't help but wonder whatever it is that happens to talents when they move to K24.

[@missynellie1545]

It sucks the life out of people

[@t.wkangethe4814]

..listening to Jimmi say that someone told him sell by date is coming..without a doubt someone or somebody somewhere was working hard to bring Jimmy down.over 20 years experience in an art it is masterpiece and mastery,it can never be compared to a 5yrs experience.. Experience never expires people should normalize hard work respecting the process and and appreciating those who are ahead of you.Long live Jimmi l personally treasure you..and never retire till you feel you have exhausted all what you got.

[@sarahruth1718]

Sounds like Luis Otieno story

[@wambuimwangi9988]

Might Jimmi have suffered from #burnout?

We've watched every episode and this is Legendary - HATS OFF

[@kimanigrace7947]

This is weighty..😢

[@brunobrian2900]

@cta I love your show but it was a bit difficult to follow this story because of the many episodes....ya nonini was nice cause it had few cuts and we could follow. This story is very inspiring but difficult follow due to many short episodes.

[@cta101]

Follow here it's chronologically arranged. Just press play once and it does the rest for you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKaoq3ene9KJas0

[@douglaskiambi1785]

Bro, this one is short. Richie did Fakii Liwali's CTA over a couple of days. They would do breakfast,lunch and break till the next day. The episodes were many,each one quality stuff just like this one. Usichoke kufuata. Nikama syllabus ya mwalimu,we got to follow through from the first lesson to the last in order to understand the subject matter. Cheers!
