In a high-energy episode, radio icons Mbusii and Lion brought their “Teke Teke” magic to Obinna Show Live. Titled “TEKE TEKE TAKEOVER – MBUSII NA LION,” the live activation on Obinna Show Live showcases the duo’s infectious reggae vibes, sheng banter, and unfiltered insights into their careers. Hosted by Oga Obinna, this crossover event bridges radio and visual media, offering fans a fresh look at the presenters behind one of Kenya’s top drive-time shows. With their trademark “bila mbrrrrcha” (no drama) approach, Mbusii and Lion deliver entertainment that’s as unifying as it is entertaining.
From Humble Beginnings to Radio Royalty
Daniel Githinji Mwangi, aka Mbusii, hails from Korogocho and kicked off his career selling soup before landing in radio. He rose to fame at Ghetto Radio with the reggae show “Goteana,” captivating listeners with his natural flair. In 2013, he switched to Radio Jambo, where he now co-hosts “Mbusii Na Lion Teke Teke” from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm weekdays. Cyrus Afune, known as Lion, made waves by leaving Ghetto Radio for Radio Jambo, seeking a larger audience to fuel his growth. Together, they emphasize sheng as a tribeless language that unites Kenyans—Luos, Kambas, and beyond. “Sheng has no tribe, and it has made us be who we are,” Mbusii has said, highlighting how it fosters national cohesion without needing formal education.
Their show blends the best of reggae music with social experiences, boasting over 305,000 likes on Facebook.
Highlights from the Obinna Show Takeover
On Obinna Show Live, the duo dived into their journey, sharing stories from their early days, the thrill of reggae, and touching on past controversies like the suspended “Toboa Siri” segment, where callers leaked sensitive secrets leading to government intervention. The episode features discussions on sheng’s role in Kenyan culture, interactive fan moments, and reggae tunes that keep the energy high. Obinna TV Extra, known for exclusive behind-the-scenes and inspiring content, provides the perfect platform for this takeover.
