Bio: What Kind of Car Does Andrew Kibe Drive?

Andrew Kibe wikipedia cars

Amongst the Who Hurt You Club, Andrew Kibe needs no introduction. Whipsssss. Andrew Kibe is a Kenyan content creator by night and day and a man of many dealings all day, every day, bruh. It explains why he is no stranger to luxury. You deserve nice self-treatment after toiling, you know..,

Biography

Kibe was born in the Nairobi area on July 1, 1976, and is 47 years old as of 2023. Little is known about the school he attended for primary education, but for his high school studies, he was a student at Nairobi Milimani Secondary School in the early 1990s, and his famous schoolmate is Kilonzo Mutula Junior, former Senator, now Governor, of Makueni County.

For his higher education, Andrew Kibe was a student at Nazarene University but got suspended sooner as he had joined for leading a students’ strike and performing poorly in class, so he never got hold of any degree.

But that never limited him. He pursued what he loves most and is counted among the most successful content creators today.

Career, controversies

Andrew Kibe began his remarkable content creation career around 2016 and has grown to be a brand. He was a YouTuber with over half a million followers until September 2023, when the video-sharing platform kicked him out following what Google Africa’s Head of Communications and Public Affairs Dorothy Ooko termed as ‘circumvention,’ using different accounts to upload YouTube videos after getting restricted in your main channel.

Andrew Kibe was a presenter at NRG Radio from 2018 for about one year to June 2019 before moving to Kiss 100 FM Kenya with fellow Kamene Goro in September of that year up to mid-2021 to focus on personal projects.

When he left NRG, the details behind it were undisclosed, but not all. Recently, he said that at one time after he had finished interviewing musician Redsan, one of the PR leads affiliated with that station, Anyiko Owoko, ordered a pull-down of his photo because reportedly the musician did not like his face with Kibe’s on one picture.

Andrew Kibe termed the gesture selfish and destructive as he thought the publicist was out to finish him since his star was shining all over in that space. On quitting Kiss 100, he said he felt the more he did the radio job, the more he felt emasculated and deprived of his male identity.

Kibe is now in the USA, where he continues to make his creative content inclined toward the roles of males in the society in which he insists that men should work harder to protect their women.

He has made his content creation app called Yafreeka, which welcomes video and podcast submissions from mostly African creatives, an alternative to YouTube. Kibe also runs the Andrew Kibe Radio.

How much money was Kibe making from YouTube?

On average, Andrew Kibe was making between Ksh100,000 and Ksh600,000 every month. This is just an estimate because YouTube revenue depends on the type of content, audience, and location, among other factors. However, Kibe was getting over 500,000 to 1 million YT watch hours every month, becoming one of the top-earning Kenyan YouTubers.

Car

Type: Mercedes-Benz S550
Andrew Kibe owns the latest S550 of the Mercedes-Benz S-class all-wheel luxury sedans that has a long list of advanced features in the modern automotive industry, from leather seats that feature power adjustment options for heat or cool and massage function, a six-cylinder bi-turbo engine to a hybrid powertrain for enhanced operability when driving, and more upscale amenities.

What Kind of Car Does Andrew Kibe Drive?

His Iridium Silver Metallic S550 with customized number plate KIFEEE costs Ksh13 million – Ksh14 million in the Kenyan market and nothing below $90,000 in the US before it is custom-made.

Kibe’s estimated net worth is about Ksh10 million.

Marriage

Andrew Kibe has never been in an open public relationship but is a divorcee. He has two children with two of his baby mamas, one of whom (Bernice, Kibe’s legal ex-wife) they married in church in the ‘dark days’ when he was a weak man, according to him.

Kibe and Bernice married at the Faith Chapel and Flamekeepers in Lang’ata, where he loved attending church services.

He has vowed to remain single but enjoys the company of young women.

Vehicle Clamping and Tow Removals in Mombasa 2023

How much does it cost to park in Mombasa?

Mombasa is the second-largest metropolis in Kenya and a popular tourist destination for many domestic and international tourists who visit for the best sights because of its beautiful medieval buildings, fun activities in the sandy beaches of the Indian Ocean, vibrant nightlife in its buzzy clubs and many more exciting things.

The country has already recorded a 32% surge in post-pandemic international visitor numbers in the half-year results to June 2023, data from the Ministry of Tourism shows. Their main entry points were Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Moi International Airport in Mombasa, which recorded 589,553 and 65,468 arrivals, respectively.

For this, most times, Mombasa gets gridlocked with congestion of vehicles and people, and if you drive yourself to the oldest town for a weekend treat or a holiday in the peak holiday seasons, especially when schools are out, it can be difficult to get a parking space.

Mombasa County Government operates parking services and is responsible for issuing parking tickets and managing the bays. If you park your car in forbidden or non-statutory areas like sidewalks, private car parks, bus lanes, and clearways near entrances of residential areas, malls, and streets, the Mombasa parking wardens will waste no time in letting you know how you are causing obstruction then fine you for illegal parking.

Illegal parking in Mombasa attracts a fine after your vehicle has been immobilized by clamping such that you cannot drive until you pay the release fees in full.

It is not the only parking violation that leads to clamping in Mombasa. If you leave your vehicle at a public parking zone after your ticket has expired, you risk getting fined and paying clamping charges, which vary depending on vehicle type:

Mombasa County clamping fees 2023

This is what you will pay as a clamp release charge in the coastal city of Mombasa;

Vehicle Clamping fees
Tuktuks and bodabodas Ksh400
Saloon cars and pick ups Ksh500
Mini bus, matatus and canters Ksh1,200
Buses and lorries Ksh2,000
Trailers Ksh2,500
Loading/Offloading zones for psv – Monthly Ksh9,500
Breakdown Vehicles road parking – Daily Ksh250
Breakdown Vehicles road parking – Monthly Ksh6,000
Breakdown Vehicles road parking – Quarterly Ksh18,000
Breakdown Vehicles road parking – Half Year Ksh36,000
Breakdown Vehicles road parking – Full Year Ksh72,000

Motorists with pending clamping fees must pay the booting charges alongside an additional 50% of the daily parking fee separately. Because it is expensive, parking vehicles in Mombasa should be at designated places after getting a ticket.

How to pay clamping fees in Mombasa online

The easiest way of paying Mombasa County fees after your vehicle has been clamped is through USSD *282# and following the prompts or online by following these steps;

1. Visit the Mombasa County eServices Portal through eportal.mombasa.go.ke
2. Sign in with your email and password or create an account if you are a first-time user
3. On the dashboard, navigate to Parking and click ‘ACCESS SERVICE’
4. Check for your vehicle clamping in the status section and proceed to pay with Mpesa. If your car is not listed, add the registration details through the ‘Add Vehicle’ tab and pay the clamping fees

How much does it cost to park in Mombasa?

Mombasa County Government harmonized street parking charges from being affected by location and demand to protect the public against exorbitant rates, thus only influenced by the vehicle model. The latest parking charges reflect an upward review to increase the total collected revenue for funding various programs and services.

Daily parking fees in Mombasa start from Ksh150 for private saloon vehicles to Ksh600 for trailers above ten tonnes. Lorries pay a parking charge of Ksh500 per day. Check out Mombasa’s parking tariffs for 2023;

Type of vehicle Daily parking cost
Private/Saloon vehicle Ksh150
Breakdown/Tow Vehicle Ksh250
Canter Pick-up 2.0 – 4.9 tonnes Ksh300
Lorries 5.0 – 9.9 tonnes Ksh500

5G Coverage by Safaricom in Kenya

Safaricom 5G available areas

“As a digital lifestyle enabler, we are excited about a 5G future, which makes it possible to close the digital divide in underserved communities, provide access to critical services such as healthcare, or spur economic growth by connecting small businesses to new opportunities. By increasing 5G coverage, we are enhancing Kenya’s best internet network and empowering our customers to start exploring the possibilities of 5G,” Safaricom PLC CEO Peter Ndegwa said when the leading telecommunication company was expanding the mobile coverage of the most advanced network available in the country today.

Safaricom began 5G infrastructure demonstration and testing in March 2021 amongst select businesses and individual consumers in counties Nairobi, Kisumu, Kisii, and Kakamega before full commercial launch on October 27, 2022. At that time, this service provider had built 35 active 5G sites, and the availability of the next generation of wireless technology was increased to five counties as Mombasa joined in.

And, in April 2023, after constantly focusing on growing its 5G network in a close partnership with Nokia and Huawei, Safaricom increased its availability to 21 counties, then to 23 counties in May, and it aims to enhance its coverage further into more towns and cities to enable more people to step into the future.

Activating Call Waiting On Safaricom SIM Card

How to activate call waiting on safaricom

For most people who would like to manage large volumes of incoming calls, the Call Waiting feature is a prime phone call function that must be on at all times to allow for seamless communication, even if you have one Safaricom line.

Call waiting is a network-dependent setting that can only be enabled when your Safaricom SIM is inserted into your phone so that when one rings you and finds you engaged, you have the option of either answering it by holding the ongoing conversation or rejecting the incoming one then they will hear a user busy tone.

If Call waiting is not activated, callers will find you out of network whenever you are talking on the phone, and you will not find a notification of unavailability after you are off the phone conversation. Why miss important communication when turning on the Call waiting service to navigate between calls is easier on the Safaricom line?

* To activate the Call waiting feature on Safaricom – Dial USSD *43#. Call waiting will be turned on (instantly)
* To deactivate the Call waiting feature on Safaricom – Dial the USSD code #43#. Call waiting will be turned off (immediately)

Is Call waiting, ‘I tried calling you?’

No. Call waiting and ‘I tried calling you’ for ‘You attempted to call me‘ messages on Safaricom SIM card are not the same. Call waiting enables one to manage multiple calls simultaneously, and ‘I tried calling you’ is Caller notify, a call setting that sends you (the callee) and the caller messages when they tried reaching out while you were out of network.

How do you put Caller Notify on the Safaricom line?

Follow these steps to get I tried calling you messages when you are called and not available;

1. Ensure your Safaricom SIM card is active on the network. Dial *100#
2. Go to option 2, ‘Sim Card Queries’
3. Choose 8, ‘Caller Notify’
4. You will see ‘Welcome to Call Notifier…’ Select choice 2, ‘How do I Activate’

You will receive this message from Safaricom – To activate the Caller Notifier, dial **62*0722188188# OK. To deactivate, dial ##62# OK.

5. Copy the I tried calling you USSD code **62*0722188188# and run it on your dialer. Call Notifier will be activated in seconds

The Call waiting and Call Notifier features are free on the Safaricom line. These activation hacks work on all Android, iPhones, and other phone models so long as your SIM card is active.

Sometimes, you need cash. Not all businesses accept digital payments via Mpesa Pay bills and till numbers or any other mobile wallet, and the best example of such is the matatu industry in Kenya. When you see that one written There is no paying with Mpesa because this vehicle is not for Safaricom (roughly translated from Swahili), greet the conductor. He is one of you.

Mpesa is unquestionably the most used mobile money wallet in this country. If you are a Safaricom user, and for this case, before boarding a matatu, swing by a Mpesa agent or ATM to make a withdrawal and get cash.

Watching 2024 English Premier League Live on GOtv Kenya

Does GOtv have Premier League football?

The 2023/2024 English Premier League (EPL) is already on, and because football is among Kenyan’s favorite pastimes, many soccer fans are looking forward to watching all the 380 Premier League matches in red-hot PL Fixtures that will run up to May 19, 2024.

This season, Man City is looking for the tenth title overall of the most watched and streamed football league in the world, and Arsenal fans want to see their playmakers Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Kai Havertz score against Pep Guardiola’s team after a frustrating fumble that saw them lose the top-tier English football title in the last round of matches of the previous Premier League’s campaign.

On its side, Manchester United devotees long for live English Premier League football games every thrilling weekend and sometimes weekdays so that they can earnestly pray and cling to a slim thread of hope because their chosen defender, Harry Maguire, is not familiar with seeing the opponent’s goal post but his.

Chelsea is the worst. This summer, It bought a thousand players to be the biggest PL spender at over £397.2 million. Their serious buy was of Moises Caicedo, whom (Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Man City supporters) have almost concluded is good for nothing, and his latest and biggest achievement lies not in the Premier League 2023/24 campaign but in the funny entertainment industry as he has contributed this photo which is used to make memes;

NHIF Online Registration Process for Low Cost Health Care

National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) online registration and costs

NHIF, the National Health Insurance Fund, is an integrated managed care system by the Government of Kenya, providing coverage to individuals and families at cheaper rates than many private health insurance providers to promote the well-being of communities and increase enrollment.

Uninsured people are encouraged to buy the NHIF health insurance plans to cushion themselves and their families against financial ruin, as it reduces health care costs by covering specific or all medical expenses, depending on subscribed policies.

NHIF registration is simple because it can be done online, and after getting the NHIF Card, policyholders and qualified dependents (declared spouse and children) can access many preventive and wellness services, comprehensive pregnancy and maternity care, and outpatient and inpatient services, among other categories of specialist medical services in its diverse hospital network across the country.

Is it a must to register for NHIF in Kenya?

The National Health Insurance Fund registration is mandatory for all citizens without any other health coverage who are aged 18 and holders of identity cards. Their income must be above a thousand shillings in a month, and they must prove by submitting documentary evidence such as statements of accounts to the NHIF Board.

Regarding purchasing its health cover, NHIF says, Under the law, all persons resident in Kenya, over 18 years old and whose total income is not less than Ksh1,000 in any given month are required to contribute to the Fund irrespective of whether the spouse is a contributor or not.

How to get insured by NHIF online ( for self-employed, employed and employers)

Getting yourself covered by NHIF means accessing timely and high-quality healthcare services for preventive care and treatment of chronic illnesses since treatment costs of diseases like cancer and kidney failure are paid up in portion by the government insurer in its Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Supacover.

NHIF online registration is possible by following the steps below. This is a 2023 guide on how to register successfully for NHIF online using your phone, laptop or computer;

1. Visit the NHIF New Member Registration Platform at registeronline.nhif.or.ke
2. On the homepage, choose to either register as an employer, employee, or self-employed

6. Attach a JPG, JPEG, or PDF format of your government-issued ID as supporting documents alongside your passport photo of JPG or JPEG file type
7. Press ‘CLICK TO CONFIRM’ to mark the consent Declaration checkbox, then go to ‘SUBMIT’

If you submit the correct details and documents, your NHIF new member request will be sent for processing, and you will be required to visit any close NHIF office or Huduma Center for finger biometric registration, after which you will pay the requisite Ksh1,500 application fee before getting your unique NHIF Member Number via email and mobile number.

One can also register for this health coverage by dialing *155# or through My NHIF App. The time period of the NHIF insurance policy is 60 days for self-employed persons and 30 days for those in formal, salaried employment.

How much is NHIF health insurance for one person in 2023?

Firstly, NHIF’s new member registration costs Ksh1,500 to cover the first three months after enrollment. Afterward, policyholders must pay Ksh500 every month to ensure their health insurance is active.

NHIF premiums for benchmark plans are among the cheapest insurance covers in Kenya, and prices vary by employment status, salary, and schemes. For self-employed persons in the Kenyan informal sector and voluntary members, NHIF contributions are set at a minimum of Ksh500, with considerations to lower it to Ksh300 ongoing.

For employees in salaried employment, the NHIF standard contributions towards the Enhanced Scheme (ES) are calculated at the rate of 2.75% of the gross monthly salary such that the minimum payable NHIF monthly contributions for the employed in Kenya is Ksh150 for low earners of below Ksh5,999, Ksh300 for those making Ksh6,000 – Ksh7,999, Ksh600 for those with a pre-taxed income of between Ksh15,000 and Ksh19,999, up to the maximum contribution of Ksh1,700 for employees who make over Ksh100,000.
