Their love for old Gikuyu secular music is the common denominator that brings them together despite their variation in age, status, background, aspirations, among other things.
These are none other than fans of Inooro FM's Ngogoyo programme that hits radio airwaves every Sunday from 12pm to 4pm.
Every Sunday, these millions of fans tune in wherever they are whetherit is in their small kiosks, homes, bars, farms and what have you.
The programme veteran radio broadcaster Kamau wa Kang'ethe alias GVN48 or governor has turned it from a mere programme that plays Gikuyu music hits of yester-years devotedly, to a movement where the youths and the elderly speak in one language.
Phrases like 'mbili mbili', 'leta kachumbari', 'wacha pressure', 'minji minji', 'niyanjoya', 'kanyama dry fry', 'kuigirira kuigirira' to name but a few now supplements Kikuyus' day-to-day conversations courtesy of this programme.
As you would have it, groups like Ngogoyo 237, a Thika-based investment group, have named themselves after this programme to ride on its popularity.
Ngogoyo has become influential and a force to reckon with among Kikuyu radio listeners who fancy old Gikuyu secular music that traces its way back to the times when the likes of Joseph Kamaru had hot blood flowing in their veins.
Kamau is a former BBC World Service presenter and also presents Inooro TV's breakfast show, 'Inooro Rucini'.
