Grace Ekirapa – Interview

Interviewer: Did Crossover 101 poach you from your previous show on KBC?

Grace Ekirapa: Yes, I was still at KBC when I got this job. It was God’s timing because people would often tell me, “you need to be in another station” and at some point I almost succumbed to the pressure. But one thing about me is, I believe God directs me in everything that I need to do. I’m always patient.

Interviewer: Is television something you stumbled upon or studied for?

Grace Ekirapa: I did Theology. Immediately after high school, I went to Bible school. I was introduced to my previous boss at KBC as an artiste when I was just starting my music career. I went to give him my CD and told him I was interested in television. I went in as a guest about two times and then I was called in to co-host. Before long they asked if I could stay and I did, that was in 2012.

Interviewer: After high school, did you know you wanted to study Theology?

Grace Ekirapa: I’ve always had a relationship with God. I had this vision in form three, but it wasn’t clear. So I called my mentor; and when he and his wife came for visiting day I asked about it and they prayed with me. Then another time God spoke to me and said, “you’re going to Bible school”.

Interviewer: Was it a voice you heard?

Grace Ekirapa: No, it was a confirmation inside my spirit and I kept feeling it… I prayed about it and God confirmed it with peace. Most of the time, when it is something He has directed you to do, he will give you peace. That’s how I knew it was His plan.

But I really wanted to be a doctor too, a paediatrician. I thank God I listened to the voice because it not only gave me a job but it opened up my life to so many other things. I consult God always.

Interviewer: Did you want to become a pastor when you went to Theology school?

Grace Ekirapa: There are different schools of ministries, for me, it was more of discovering my God-given purpose.

Interviewer: So, not a pastor?

Grace Ekirapa: Not necessarily. Eventually I knew that would be part of it, but I wanted to know more about Him. From then on my purpose in life was very clear.

Interviewer: How is it working with DJ Mo?

Grace Ekirapa: I know he knows this, he is one of the craziest people I’ve ever met — crazy in a good way. I like the fact that he has such a big heart, he’s not a fake and what you see is what you get. We did not struggle to get on-screen chemistry and I know God orchestrated that. We have fun on set, he is very upright in his work. We do Bible study every week and not necessarily in person. Sometimes I will send him scriptures for the week so that we are prepared for the show. It’s been amazing.

Interviewer: How do you go about stuff like dating when you’re born again?

Grace Ekirapa: We are human beings; we have feelings and emotions and we have that quest to love and be loved back. I was very sure what I wanted; I know I want a man who is spiritually mature. I can never date a man who is not born again and I have never because spiritual authority from my man is key. I totally believe in submission and you can’t submit to a man who does not have authority over you. It doesn’t make sense. I always prayed to God to give me a man who loves me. I’ve had a few relationships, I don’t regret them but there are some that I’m not proud of. I believe I got into some of them to learn to appreciate people’s strengths and weaknesses, so many times we meet counterfeits and when we meet the original we appreciate it. They were good people, we still talk and keep in touch but I’m glad God eventually brought the person and I’m glad that I waited.

Interviewer: Did you ever meet that one person that you never wanted to be friends with after the relationship?

Grace Ekirapa: Yes I have (laughs). I won’t snob them when I meet them, I will say hi. But that is as far as it goes because I don’t want to open wounds that I can’t recover from again.

Interviewer: You shared an experience about a previous relationship you had

Grace Ekirapa: Many people write to me about what they are going through. When I wrote that, it was to show people that I’ve been there, too. I was in a relationship where I loved someone and they didn’t love me back. This man would only reciprocate the love when he felt he needed me around, like when he wanted to talk to someone. I felt I’d been there and got out, so how about someone who isn’t able but they want to?

Interviewer: Do you listen to Drake, Rihanna or Fetty Wap?

Grace Ekirapa: Some of those names are very new to me. I listened to a lot of blues growing up: Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston because I loved their voices. Eventually, when I got born again, I’m not saying I won’t listen to them, there are times when I get into a matatu and I find I know a particular song. But to be honest, God changed my desires. When I’m bored or happy I will listen to worship songs. Once in a while, I will bump into those songs but I won’t sit and listen and marinate in them.

Interviewer: Do fun activities with friends have to be church-related?

Grace Ekirapa: I have a very limited number of friends, I must say. My family is my closest circle. Doing stuff like road trips may be just once in a while, I enjoy them but I rarely get time to do them. To be honest, my social life was at some point out of the window.

Interviewer: Too busy with work?

Grace Ekirapa: And school; then there’s music on the other end. I have many responsibilities. The other day I was telling my sister I need to take time off, switch off my phone and leave it in Nairobi and just go somewhere.

Interviewer: Who is your most trusted confidant?

Grace Ekirapa: My two sisters, Ashley and Julie; we share everything and then there’s my best friend Kui, she is my prayer and accountability partner.

Interviewer: When you sometimes slip, is it emotional, spiritual or physical?

Grace Ekirapa: I think it’s been more emotionally because there are times I would be so cranky when God promised something and it didn’t work out as He said it would. I’ve been there one too many times and I will go back to God and say, “I’m getting too strained, why are you not coming through? You lied”, as much as I know He will never lie. Spiritual, not too much, physical no.

Interviewer: Do you dress yourself?

Grace Ekirapa: Yes I do, apart from Sundays when I get someone to dress me. I’ve always loved fashion, I love to match my colours. If I’m wearing blue, it’s from head to toe. But orange, green and blue? I will be uncomfortable the whole time. No colour blocking for me.

Interviewer: Is that your real hair?

Grace Ekirapa: Yes, I’ve been growing it since I was a child. My dad cut it once though, he was pretty upset I can’t remember why. I remember my mum had travelled, she came home and literally passed me on the stairs, she didn’t recognise me. It was that bad (laughs).

Interviewer: Are there people who shy off from you because they think you will start preaching to them right from the start?

Grace Ekirapa: I started having this experience in high school, boys would approach me at functions, word had gone round that I was born again. I was active in the Christian Union; I was strict. Some would use the Bible to try and hit on me but I would know. Many people don’t know I’m born again. I think my physical appearance isn’t for born again people. People say pretty girls don’t get born again, because they think they are players.

Mohamed Salah’s Net Worth, Biography, Career, Awards, Fact and Life Story

Mohamed Salah Net Worth and Salary: Mohamed Salah is an Egyptian professional soccer player who has a net worth of $90 million. Also known as the “Egyptian King” or “The Pharaoh,” Salah is considered one of the best strikers in the modern game of football. Although Salah started his career in Egypt, he quickly attracted attention from international clubs. His career has taken him across Europe, and he has become an integral player in both the Italian and English leagues. Salah has been an important player for Liverpool, and it was after he moved to this club that he started to become a major international figure. He helped this English club win the Champions League and the league title. Outside of his club activities, Salah has led the Egyptian national team to new heights. He is seen as a national hero in his home country. Early Life: Mohamed Salah Hamed Mahrous Ghaly was born on June 15th of 1992 in Nagrig, Basyoun, Egypt. Mohamed was raised in a Muslim household alongside his brother, Nasr. At the age of 7, Salah started to become serious about football, and he grew up watching Champions League games on television. Career: Salah started his career with El Mokawloon, a team in the Egyptian Premier League. His debut came in 2010, and he continued to perform well throughout his first season. After scoring a few goals for the team, he earned a place on the starting 11. In 2012, much of the Egpytian league was canceled due to the Port Said Stadium riot. Because the season was suspended, the Swiss team Basel took the opportunity to offer Salah a place on their squad. Basel had been closely monitoring Mohamed’s progress, and in 2012 the Egyptian King signed a four-year contract and joined the Swiss Super League. Salah then scored on his debut before following up with a range of impressive performances. During this first season with Basel, Salah led the team to a win against Tottenham at the Europa League. After beating the North London side, Basel advanced to play Chelsea. Although the Swiss team lost the game, Salah caught the eye of Chelsea’s management personnel. Basel ended the season with a comfortably-won league title. After another successful season at Basel, Salah would meet Chelsea once again during the group stage of that year’s Champions League. Salah scored against Chelsea in both ties, which convinced the West London side that Salah was a worthwhile investment. In 2014, Salah signed for Chelsea with an 11-million-pound transfer fee during the January transfer window. Salah started his career at Chelsea as a substitute, and he scored a few goals during the 2013-2014 season. During the next season, Salah’s future was in doubt after it became known that he was legally obligated to complete military service in Egypt. However, he met with the Egyptian Prime Minister, who made an exception for him. That being said, Salah didn’t see much game time that season – even after being saved from military service. Jose Mourinho didn’t seem to rate him highly, and so Salah moved to Fiorentina in 2015 on a loan deal. He immediately made an impact for Fiorentina, scoring regularly and leading his team to another win against Tottenham at the Europa League. Even though he had certainly made his mark in the Italian league with Fiorentina, Salah had bigger plans. He forced another loan deal to Roma for 5 million Euros, although technically he was still a Chelsea player. It was at Roma that Mohamed really started to come into his own. He quickly became a key player for the side, finishing the season with 15 goals. He was also named Player of the Season. Roma then signed Salah on a permanent deal for 15 million euros, although it would only last for one season before he was scooped up by Liverpool. The English side paid 42 million euros for the Egyptian striker, with add-ons that could raise the overall figure to 50 million euros. Salah scored on his debut and had an incredible first season, finishing with an incredible tally of over 40 goals across all competitions. In 2018, Salah signed a new contract with Liverpool and followed up with another impressive season. The 2019-2020 season ended with Liverpool lifting the Premier League trophy – the first time they had done so in more than 30 years. Relationships: Mohamed Salah married his wife Maggi in 2013. One year after their marriage, the couple welcomed their first child into the world. In 2020, Salah had a second child. Brand Endorsements: Mohamed Salah has a long-standing partnership with Adidas. He typically wears Adidas boots during games, and he appears in a wide range of Adidas commercials. Salah also appeared in a Vodafone commercial in his home nation of Egypt. In addition, Mohamed appears regularly in the FIFA video game franchise. Contracts: In 2018, Mohamed signed a 5-year deal with Liverpool that pays $15 million per year. Taking bonuses and incentives into account, that figure increased to $24 million per year due to his incredible performances. Income: Salah is one of the highest-paid soccer players on the planet, earning a base salary of $24 million per year plus $10-13 million per year from endorsements. When you factor in his income from endorsements, Salah easily earns $30-35 million per year. For example, between June 2019 and June 2020, Mohamed earned $35 million. That was enough to make him one of the 100 highest-paid celebrities in the world, and one of the 30 highest-paid athletes on the planet.
