[@Fkange]

Lynn I grew up watching Sanaa and she hasn’t changed a bit! Her personality is the same. Such a lovely lady. Aging gracefully

[@shikohsimon7063]

Hi Lynn, kindly can we have Sheila Mwanyigha on the show? Listened to Sana and remembered her, she is an Icon and was once a radio queen. Would love to hear her story too

[@BeatriceOdongo312]

@Lynn Ngugi

[@joycendungu301]

[@Lishlish510]

Ohhhhhhh thank you for remembering Sheila, also looking forward to seeing her here, our very own Kenyan girl. Reminds me of the days of Tusker Project Fame, the only show that was able to unite East African Countries and impacted lives for good!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😂

[@blessedmalilo5965]

By the way,akina stl(Stella)mwangi as well

[@ngatiasusan6954]

Yule anataka kuoleka aoleke ,yule hataki pia akae hivyo hivyo.. whatever you do ,do it for yourself not due to societal expectations or pressure. Choose to be married , choose to be single, simply choose what you want to be or do in life and you will live unapologetically and you will be happy with your decisions. You hold your destiny in your hands. Never give that liberty to anyone on this earth to choose for you on how you should live your life. Do you, be you , people will adapt..

[@anitairene4261]

I love this

[@jacquelineanyango7871]

❤❤❤ this, doing you is best.

[@marybelle1385]

True. I have 1kid .. And the pressure I get.. "Ooh add another one she will be a loner. 'And am okay with only 1 ..

[@sheisjacinta_]

Sure

[@carolinengari7313]

Alafu Kuna Mimi nataka kuolewa but MTU serious sipati 😢 lol

[@Afrovazi]

Sanaipei is so authentic with her journey, she's not even trying to sugarcoat anything. These kinds of women are rare and precious because they give us younger women the courage to show up us ourselves in a world where majority want you to put up a show and act like someone you are not. Thank you Lynn and Sanaipei, this did something to me in my current burn out and fatigue phase at work. My punchline as someone exploring this space, 'I used to care, because I was younger then I grew up...'

[@joycewangui9780]

Saina. I just love yoyr voice. Nice to learn that you sre so humble.

[@Junglefruit5458]

Who else believes that a Colabo between Sanaipei Tande and Nyota Ndogo will give Whitney Huston and Mariah Carrey, yaani it will be the bomb. They have amazing voice.

[@noniotalexas8384]

I just love Sanaipei. Confident no nonsense talented Queen🔥🔥

[@Nelcn1]

💯

[@shaleenkamau808]

I love Sanaipei Tande n how she stands firm in stating married or not it doesn’t define her 😍. Nothing but admiration for her and for the far she has come. I love her history ❤

[@janemburu4146]

😂

[@stellamaries2979]

Me too

[@loisewamaitha3269]

I love sanaipei, I like it that she hasn't succumbed to the pressure that has come her way , she has really grown, she is so beautiful and confident.

[@cherrymakena]

Sanaipei Tande lives her life authentically and that's so admirable🙌🏽 Marriage is not a light decision and I'm so glad more people are beginning to acknowledge that by not getting into it for the sake of it

[@Shary.y]

Natasha Tande ,You were my close friend in form one at Mama Ngina girls before you moved .Great to see you multi talented.Such an inspiration.Keep it up gal 🎉

[@joymaggy3295]

She is elegant ,authentic and principled, a beautiful queen.

[@damarisongeri6971]

Sanaipei is so eloquent, spilling nuggets. "Take rest before you need it"

[@evanglinekivaya956]

My take out for today is "Take Rest Before You Need It".

[@candidajamesa5650]

I love the authenticity in Sana. If most of us were this true to ourselves...life would be amazing.

[@Mercy_Stephanie]

One of my most favourite things about Lynn is how she gets excited, and genuinely star-struck when interacting with her guests....For instance how her face lit up when Sanaipei sang ❤❤

[@janeshiku1368]

esp kwenye she made some lines right there she was shocked vizurii

[@uniternjeri7078]

I think Sanaipei is very mature! And true to herself

[@musiimentamoreen8]

I just want to thank God who is working on me every day people are not easy outside here

[@Wanairobi]

I am glad Sanaipei touched on exhaustion, fatigue, poor pay etc. As she spoke, I thought of Charlie Ouda and other fallen creatives 😥

[@annienjoroge3750]

Sanaipei have your 🌹.You brought kina to the 🔝 you are the GOAT looking forward to seeing you on other shows.

[@paulinemaina9695]

Woow! What a show. The love I have for sanaipei is beyond. Thanks Lynn for having her on you show. My take home is " Being real is the greatest gift you can give to yourself"

[@Layla-_]

[@africanawang2674]

Getting married is good, getting children is good, bbeing single is good. There shouldn't be arguments on such issues.

Sanaipei interviews make me happy. She's so unapologetic. Damn❤❤❤❤

[@MelodicRythmsnpoeticvibrations]

Being real is my take home.I love the duet❤

[@balancedviewpoint7418]

Anyone can watch this legendary and most beautiful girl over and over again without tiring. Married or single is not an issue here because that's one's personal choice. We don't judge people for who we expect of them but what they have brought out from their own abilities and capabilities born from the authentic self. Sanaipei Tande is that organic being that knows her worthy, God's purpose in her life and that her life's fulfilment is from inside-out that outside-in. We call in internal locus of evaluation vs external locus of evaluation. Those pessimists and or castigators bother her less. That's what we call mental wellness. Sanaipei, our Queen of best role models, keep up the good work. There are so many girls out there including Lynn there that look upto you as their role model. You have perfected your game in 20yrs and I know God is yet to bring the best out of you in many more years to come. Now, on the issue of marriage, you are spot-on👌.Many people out there define marriage based on what they imagine, experienced or told but the best marriage is that which is purposeful from the word go and ordained by God. Less that, individuals can keep saying what pleases their mouth and imaginations. Each one of us has our own gift from God. We are destined differently. God aligns you with someone that you share deep values and principles. The covenant relationship of marriage was designed as a blessing to humankind not as an achievement. When Christians understand God's view of marriage and His purpose, they have stronger marriages, stronger families and stronger communities. Marriage is an essential part of God's plan but not meant for everyone. Spiritual marriage means to marry your soul to the eternal love of God. Marriage is a complementary union of two coming together to make a good team as and when individuals decide they desire that union. It is not by cohesion or influence from without or a compelling achievement as Sanaipei has rightly put it. Yes it can offer stability and a sense of belonging to some while for others it is for getting children to raise a family but we also have to appreciate that what is good for you is not necessarily good for the others. Let us respect each person's choice. After all, it is their life and personal choices. Having said that, I celebrate every woman out there including Sanaipei, Lynn, her great and loyal fans in this international women's week. Shalom.

[@MMuthoka]

This isn't a summary...

[@santanamiss9429]

[@lynnewakio-em5fm]

1:06:27 the moment sanaipei mentioned About a genetic disease,I just remembered vile I got pregnant without knowing I’m a hemophilia carrier And that I’ll be passing a genetic disease to the next generation,truly this makes me feel like I rushed into having a kid without knowing much about my next generation🤧 But since then I’m having a problem on whether I should I get married cause I feel I shouldn’t risk more about such situations in life🥺cause I’m so stressed about the kind of situation and life my kid will have with the condition he’s in

[@warucungethe8619]

Glad to have seen Sanaipei on your show. Brilliant singer and most of all the best Kenyan actress I've ever watched. The show Kina died when she left. The other actors tried to hold it together but the 1st and only Mrs Tandala had left the show. I watched it to the end. It reminded me of Game of Thrones. Kill them all, write your own ending.

[@salomewanjiku3172]

Lynn the way you ask your questions,,ad clap one thousand times..very good.

[@dorisbonareri2137]

Wow, I love the conversation. Lynn, You always ask the right questions. Sanaipei i love your confidence in what you believe and stand for.

[@jilljulie5528]

Thanks Lynn for all you do as always. I have always liked and admired Sanai and how she is true to herself and has one of the best voices in the industry...keep up!
