Before Maina Kageni came to Classic 105 he was working at Nation FM, where he was being paid peanuts according to a confession made on air.
He told how his current boss Patrick Quarcoo approached him to poach him from Nation Media Group.
‘I went to meet Patrick Quarcoo at a restaurant in town called Tratorria. So he asked me how much I’m being paid at Nation, I told him sh180,000. He told me he is going to give me 380,000 to move, na saa hiyo walikuwa wananilipa 60,000 (laughing) Nilikimbia Nation Centre kuresign officially kabla haja change his mind . Nie reke gwire.
An excited Maina later left the lunch time meeting and ran to hand in his resignation at Nation.
Wasn’t Maina though a bit skeptical about the hug salary offer?
Apparently not as he explains
‘He kept his word. I left Nation, I came here, he told me first of all go and relax so he gave me two months salary niende ni relax. i went to Mombasa and then to south Africa aki yaoo hiyp maisha’
Mwalimu Kingangi wanted to know how he pulled it off to which Maina said
People take your for how you present yourself, Maina admitted and if you present yourself like you are wroth 20, then that is what you will be paid.
Mwalimu was so jealous because his offer was sh10,000 an offer he took up because ‘bora ni kazi’.
