This is laughable, it just shows how small minded some people are, or jealous even., Just to clarify, I am from Shao, I was born and brought up in Turi, a village called Mukolombosi, i doubt anyone of you ever heard of this, its too rural. I watched my first TV in high school, you know saturday movies in boarding school. Everyone used to think of me as a beautiful young girl and of course in the village, got many marriage offers, but i had my eyes on a successful future.I would hate myself if i did not try to improve myself, or if I let little minded people to ruin my dream.

Good parentage is important for a successful future. I knew i had to work hard, study hard and make something of my life, well I have. I am proud to see more than a dream. I can empower people through media, God blessed me with a husband who shares my passion. I have come a long way, but I am still nowhere near where i wonna be.

Thanks miss bling, whoever you are, and all the positive oriented fans. Those who appreciate that its hard, especially in UK, to keep African acts on air, clothing, make up and hairstyle is not more important than the information we are passing. I have seen worse looking presenters, poor program but we do not see it spread out here.

Kenyans, support me, if you are a make up artist, offer your services to African Ats, if you are a stylist, offer your services. Critisize and also give a viable solution.I take no offence of those who criticize without abuse, that is healthy.


I love you guys, I am just a fun loving woman full of life. I enjoy what I do. and I will keep making programs for the faithful viewers, even the haters, cos its important for me to know that they are watching African Acts.

Kind Regards to you all.

Bless you Janet.

Hi, Wanyina keep up your Good work
Maitho ma chiura matigiragia ngombe inyue mai

Thank You Misterseed. Isn't it about time we learnt the power of encouragement? Surely after all the effort and we all know how hard it is to make it in the western world, you'd think people have better things to say. Please if you don't have a positive critisism, it is better to refrain from highlighting the weakness we all know we have and actually don't have a lot to do with what Janet does

Ha haa Mr seed niwangenia muno with that last sentence.

Hey Janet, I used to know you when we used to go to the same church @ Revival Ministries in Manor Park East London, but of course I moved out of London for pastures green. Ignore the haters, they're obviously jealous but hey! that kiuks for you. They cant stand to see someone else prosper. I am proud of you gal, keep it up and forget the losers!

Janet,well said!Most of them here will be hiding under the table after reading your confident response.You take care and do your thing!We should have more like you on this forum.I dont usually respond to pings alot here anymore but that one really drove the point home.Way to go girl!!

YOU HIT IT ON THE NAIL JANET! SOME PEOPLE CRITICIZE TO BREAK SOMEONE DOWN, BUT TODAY JANET NOT ONLY HAVE YOU SHOWN MATURITY, YOU CAN TAKE A PUNCH AND ABSORB IT, YOU HAVE BIGGER BALLS THAN MOST MEN IN THIS FORUM WHO KEEP ON PAYUKARING AIR! I AWAIT THE DAY YOU WILL MAKE YOUR FIRST MILLION AND ALL THE CRITICS WILL HIDE THEIR FACE WITH SHAME AND JEALOUSY, MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH YOUR FAMILY AND URGE YOU TO STICK TO YOUR PROGRAMME PLAN, SOMETIMES IS NOT WORTHY TO SERVICE YOUR OWN PEOPLE AS THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE. I AM A BIG FAN OF YOURS AND I WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT YOU COZ I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE IN BUSINESS, I GUESS SHOW BUSINESS IS EVEN HARDER.

Kudos Janet,Tunakupenda wa mum;You are an inspiration not only to my heart but to my everything;You deserve a part on the back;In oxford we are singing 'nani kama Janet....'Hongera you make me proud of my roots.

Janet l watch you every day. I wish l was a make up artist and l would offer my srevices free of charge.English is not your mother tongue. In your position its better to be talked about that means you are noticed. You go girl.

Janet... Keep it up darl'... I have met you personally in various celebrations and though you may not know me, I know you are a hardworking gal and you have been trying your level best and at all cost...

Never mind these critics, I bet some of them have just learnt English here while you carried your well Education level right from that village you mentioned {What was the name again? LOL! }... I have seen afew people on this very board who are simply intimidated by women of high integrity, ask me, I know! It's a pity, innit? hee hee!

Hi Janet,

I have travelled the journey with you as a loyal viewer from your first day. I personally used to criticise you as well but constructively. May I say that you are a strong girl because you have taken on board some of the criticism to improve and today am very proud of you, infact I tell my friends from other countries to watch your programme which I think is terrific. I'm sorry this is the only support I can give you however I suggest you progress further by taking formal trainings and attend workshops on media. You are more likely to network and I think this is where you could go a notch higher or get sponsors.

Kenya will soon switch to digital and industry insiders say they will require alot of programmes to fill in the slots.

As for Kenyans you have to be very strongwilled to counter them as most are very negative in thinking without offering viable solutions. I like your reply which has demonstrated alot of maturity. Its also good you embrace constructive criticism. Keep up

And for those that criticise without any knowledge please take a few minutes and look at the home videos you have shot or if not please try to record yourself making a presentation and and then compare with what Janet showcases

This critisim have undoubtedly improved tha rating.Its good to be proud of what you are doing.There is in my opinion a legitimate and objective critism;you seem to over-do the gestures.Compose yourself,stand still,stop over indulging the nod,the shrug and the raised brow and ah ah the cleavage.

But then what matters,is it the message-and nobody seems to doubt this- or its container? Better to listen to a stammerer than a noisy fool.You get my vote.

i am very proud of you representing us.i lived in London the whole of last year and i was really impressed on how people are trying to hit the ceiling and definately you are onr of them never mind the accent every person who uses another language to speak another has an accent of the first
only fools want to bury where they came from by imitating others
