After days of speculations its now clear that media personality and Radio Comedian Felix Oduor commonly known as Mzee Jalang’o has quit Hot 96.
Jalang’o joined Royal Media Services in May after quitting radio Maisha on 31st April. He is on the move again and will be reunited by Alex Mwakideu who quit Radio Maisha in July and their next stop will be Milele FM.
Jalang’o penned down this emotional message on his exit.:
“My brother…My Mentor…My Friend and my partner…I haven’t even called you to say bye because I don’t know what to tell..I guess my voice will shake all through and maybe I’d want to lie and maybe tell you I’ll be back..It’s your time to shine on! Hold the fort! You’ve always done it so it shouldn’t be be different!
Thank you for everything Jeff
1. Making me believe in myself again that I can fit in any place even when people dint believe in me you made me shine among the elite! “ reads Part of Jalang’o message
“2. No single day did you ever look down on me even when you knew that our lives were far apart and so different but you held my hands and we created something beautiful #JeffAndJalasOnHot96
3. Each day I learnt something new from you and that gave me the reason to want to wake up each day…your experience in the industry is something I needed and you made working with you a vacation each day!
4. When we started they all were asking “Jeff and JALAS how? And I remember you telling me watch this space! See what it became…A monster show!
5. Keep being the amazing guy you are..I hope you learn to dance kwangwaru soon enough…Friday Swahili interviews…Rooftop things.. and smoke the show up because it will always Go on! The show must go on..SMOOOOOOOOOOKING! See you at my graduation! #JeffInTheMorning.” reads Part of Jalang’o message

Show ikiwa kubwa, unapiga pamba safi, pamba nyepesi. Karibu kwenye saa nne za burudani habari na interaction kibao. #BillyNaMbaruk ndani ya #MaishaAsubuhi @radiomaisha Good morning!”
