Mzee Jalang’o, known as Felix Odiwour, is a multifaceted individual who has traversed various professional domains. Formerly, he held the role of a radio host at the esteemed Kiss FM, but he is much more than that. He dons the hats of a successful entrepreneur, a comedian, and a skillful event Master of Ceremonies (MC).
Felix’s journey is a testament to resilience and determination. Despite achieving stellar results in his KCSE examinations, he found himself unable to pursue higher education due to financial constraints.
In a remarkable turn of events, this affluent comedian recently accomplished a significant milestone by graduating from Daystar University. His journey mirrors the idea of a chosen path, guided by a higher force.
Fate smiled upon him when he secured a position at Kiss FM, a remarkable feat considering he lacked a college diploma. His presence on the airwaves was marked by his co-hosting of the morning show alongside the remarkable transformation of Kamene Goro, a former lawyer turned journalist.
Together, they carved a niche for themselves, dominating the radio landscape in Kenya with the most-listened-to show in the country. Their discussions spanned a wide array of topics, attracting countless Kenyan listeners who eagerly contributed to the discourse. Their on-air synergy and vivaciousness contributed to their immense popularity. However, Jalang’o recently made a significant decision to step away from the microphone and delve into politics.
His political aspirations are aimed at becoming the Member of Parliament for Langata constituency, a role where he hopes to bring about positive change and serve his community.
Beyond the radio waves, Jalang’o boasts a substantial presence on social media. He actively updates his followers on various matters, offering them insights into his life and thoughts.
It’s not all business for this funny man from Siaya county. He has been open about his admiration for Kamene’s beauty, humorously equating it to the “promised land.” However, he acknowledges the boundaries of his marital commitment and the impossibility of his wish.
In a Facebook post, he humorously quipped, “Mzee Jalang’o will not enter heaven,” playfully alluding to his unattainable desire for the “promised land.”
Jalang’o’s life is an inspiring tale of triumph over adversity, a narrative that resonates with the youth who are still grappling with the challenges of securing meaningful employment. Beyond his professional success, he has also demonstrated a generous spirit by supporting numerous individuals in need across the country, establishing himself as a true philanthropist.
