Can’t stress this enough. I really respect what you’re doing and all the guests you feature. Conversations with so much to learn and pass forward. The insight to how far people have come, their contributions to their industry, sacrifices, decisions and their consequences. I absolutely love it.

[@carolinekogi9352]

What I've learnt from this story is to never do good waiting to be rewarded by those you are kind to but do it as a service to God because he is not unjust he will reward you even in your grave... cause this was God opening doors for Bonnie even without that much education.. God paid her mother's sacrifice.

This story is sinking in more in 2024 than when I first watched it 2 years ago.

[@larryachiya2475]

That story of how he got back to the Standard Group newsroom is inspiring. Never give up!!

[@gracelsmuthii7775]

My far best CTA...such a life story

[@cathrinemaza8876]

Is it me or his laughter is infections 😁

[@suzzannemark4545]

This is inspiration, never give up on something you want. It may be difficult to wait but it's much more difficult to regret. 🙏🏾

[@MwangiJ]

Truly hard work pays, pushing beyond the limits

[@hannahkangethe7587]

Wow.... nameless weeding... imagine I had paused to watch their song and I come back you say this

[@larryachiya2475]

Rebecca Nduku had great photos too. I remember looking at her work on paper

[@_GMT_]

I had a collection pulse mags back in the days i used to entertain my visitors with them

[@anthonywahome20]

The grit in Bonnie though👏👏👏

[@Just_acollector]

The only problem with CTA is this small small dose thingie!.. but Richie you're a genius at interviewing people I'm sure all your guests can relate to the time Jesus asked who touched me.. cause after they leave that seat man they've given a piece of themselves. It's never a waste of time here keep up the good work!💪🏾

[@purplekush4951]

He's a gladiator 🔥🔥🔥

[@toleshuma]

Wayua Muli solid person

[@anthonywahome20]

Your boss can insult you and you don't have to reply.Hiyo kitu huuma,but so true

[@ndaisikioko7021]

Even resigning, you do it respectfully. Wah!

[@rascnn]

Crossed paths with him...used to be a stringer doing fashion cop at pulse ;)

[@margaretolando7996]

That Pulse lady "Celebrities ain't her friends".... She literally poisoned Kenyans to hate Kenyan music something we still struggling with to date as a country I understand Bonny was doing it for a cheque!!!

[@GiveMeLifeAfrica1619]

How it feels when the video is private but you have access💃

[@douglaskiambi1785]

Pictures and Kaz conjures something ehhh, interesting from my memory archives 😉

[@kimanigrace7947]

This is getting interesting.

[@kimanijw7388]

I love this! “I grew up poor, so the one asset I have, is hard-work. You cannot outwork me”🔥🔥 As a strong believer of hard-work, Bonny’s statement really resonates with me. 😂😂 hiyo comeback yake ya Standard Group after challenging his mdosi was fayaaaaaaaa! “Photographers are there to be seen not to be heard” 🤐🤐 Bonny’s laugh is sooooo contagious 😂 Also, Richie, I appreciate your vulnerability. Admitting that your middle-class perspective hinders you from fully understanding some things is a bold admission. 💯💯 This is how you learn. Well done! Load hiyo 761 juu sasa unataka tufanye? 😳😳👀👀

[@v_yego]

Yes! This is it.

[@muchegew9570]

Pulse finished DNG's Gospo career 😂

[@mathewmukeni7340]

Even Fakii said it, Pulse gave folks nightmares on thursdays coz you never knew what they would write, Nyash himself rhymed "ukitaka utaamini ile story ulisoma kwa PULSE/at Nyash alikuwa carnivore...."

[@esthersserwanga]

I worked in a PR agency at that time. Friday morning you go to work with fear and trepidation because you don't know which of your clients or their event has been covered negatively in Pulse or Buzz but especially Pulse. The whole day is just maaaaad calls and emails from clients ati why we didn't 'kill the story' before it was published. It was such a catch-22; you want Bonnie to cover your events because you are assured that he will sambaza them around this town - to the joy of your client - but because he had this knack for finding really interesting and often controversial story angles that other photographers weren't seeing. This was when this culture of celebrities was really taking shape in Kenya but the celebrities hadn't figured out how to conduct themselves in public. If Bonnie was at your event, you were also almost assured of some pictures from him that would just cause chaos. Yaani!

[@johnmwaura3915]

As for me I loved Nation's 'BUZZ' .

[@girl_woman]

The wait for Sunday,and chill for owners to finish reading. Buzz was great

[@simonmbogo4133]

TD Jakes crusade I was there at uhuru park...

[@sammykinyua8792]

Kabisa

[@kagiriGilly]

Honestly no one could out work Bonnie.

[@anthonywahome20]

Ezekiel Mutua,peana 📺

[@ndaisikioko7021]

Gospel rapper A-star spotted taking 🍺 hehe. I remember that

[@anthonywahome20]

Buda,ulipiga Artur Broz picha?

[@fundione7543]

One question Boni, you earlier said that someone commented you look like a street kid. Now covering these events and stories, has your wardrobe improved.

[@anthonywahome20]

Bonnie ni walking Pulse.Kumulika watu nayo?😃😃😃

[@dennismwenda221]

[@Valhala0786]
