In this chit chat with the veteran reporter, she opened-up to NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER INC USA Board of Directors on her media adventure, challenges, healing and why she needed urgent help from ‘helpers-of-destiny’ around the world.
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: How did you come into journalism?
*NYANGA: My name’s Caroline Atieno Nyanga. A child of God by His righteousness and a journalist by profession. A Kenyan nationality, an award-winning journalist.
After completing high school, in 844 education system at lwak Girls High school located in Nyanza province in Kenya, I was opportune to go to India for further studies at aged 18. Despite peer pressure that took a toll on my life, I took my studies seriously and was able to obtain three degrees within a period of five years. These include Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration, Political Science and Psychology.
Others include Bachelor of Journalism and Master of Mass Communication and Journalism. I have had passion for Journalism ever since I was a child. I grew up looking up to my father – late, who was a prominent award-winning journalist with the Standard Newspaper during his time. Also, with the degrees I pursued in India enabled me settle well as a journalist.
Despite my good performance and ability to adapt to the Indian culture and lifestyle normally considered strange due to their nature of worship et al.
There were occasions when I accompanied my Indian friends to worship snakes, cows, and statues. They have 365 gods among them Lord Sharma, Shiva just to name a few.
My lifestyle revolved around partying and alcohol consumption. I adored American rapper, the late Tupac Amaru Shakur and strived to be like him
There were times when I would go for beach parties three days non-stop thinking that I had it all. Life was good.
After five years, I graduated top of my class with first class honors. Upon my return to Kenya, I was privileged to get a job with one of Kenya’s leading media houses, The Standard Media Group/ KTN as a senior writer, specializing in entertainment (locally and abroad), feature stories, exclusive stories political stories and human-interest stories, just to name a few.
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: Can you let us into your experience working with the Kenyan Television Network, KTN?
*NYANGA: The years I spent as a print journalist at Standard Newspaper/ KTN Broadcast were a highlight of my life. Other than my qualifications I had a natural talent for putting stories and articles together and a passion for doing it.
Every day was different – made to believe that bad news is good news. Everything was different, murders, robberies, including happenings around the country and the world was news. My interviews with big shots and politicians, the rich and famous, prisoners, the rich and famous, et al. Basically everything in the news was quite exciting. But there is a dark side to Journalism as a career
Time, pressure, the stress of meeting deadlines, boardroom meetings, verifying information fulfilling the obligation, understanding experiences.
My primary role as a journalist was to communicate news either written or verbally. I curved a niche for myself as a versatile journalist who was willing to do any kind of story. I was daring and possessed a blend of essential qualities including strong communication skills: curiosity, empathy, integrity and analytical thinking. Unlike most of my colleagues, I was persistent and courageous, hence my ability to interview witchdoctors, evil spirits, morticians, mortuary attendants, prisoners; killers, and people in charge of cemeteries just to name a few.
There was a time I went to interview morticians, and they locked me inside the morgue with the dead for almost an hour. The reason being that I appeared scared and by doing so I would be familiar with the dead. My encounter with evil spirits at the witchdoctors’ den was another chilling experience of my life.
Note: (A mortician is a licensed professional who handles the entire process of preparing the deceased for burial or cremation, including embalming, cosmetology, and funeral arrangements. A mortuary attendant, also known as a mortuary assistant or technician, provides support to the mortician, assisting with tasks like preparing bodies, maintaining the facility, and handling paperwork).
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: How were you able to break into African mainstream entertainment news coverage?
*NYANGA: During my tenure as an award-winning journalist, I was able to focus on building a strong portfolio, horning my skills, networking and understanding the evolving media landscape, I gained experience through local publications owing to my unique skills, versatility and ability to observe time and have the right source of information. I had networks and reliable sources in Kenya and outside.
I made sure I had contacts of musicians, promoters, and reliable sources who came to Kenya.
Whenever international musicians are scheduled to land at the airport, I will make sure I am present regardless of the timing. And I had a translator in case he or she is not conversant with English.
Among the musicians I interviewed include Congolese bigwigs: El Rice Matadien, Koffi Olomide, Werrason, Kanda Bongoman, Mbilia Bel, Samba Mapangala; Fally Ipupa, Nigeria’s Music Superstars like Flavour, Wizkid, Jamaica’s top reggae and ragga musicians, Sean Paul, Nollywood, actors, Zimbabwe’s Oliver Mtukuzi, South Africa’s, Brenda Fassie, Tanzania’s Ali Kiba, Professor J and Diamond and most Kenyan musicians and artistes film producers (local & foreign), actresses; artistes, music producers.
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: How were you able to combine fame and wealth on KTN?
*NYANGA: During my tenure as a journalist, I strived to expand my wings beyond my career or salary. Due to my close relationship with music promoters and musicians, I would take it upon myself to organize major shows in various clubs within Nairobi, Kenya. I receive a huge profit as the gate charges. If need arises, I will speak in a local dialect to Congolese promoter to do the needful. With numerous land plots, vehicles, a house, bar and restaurant, tailoring shops and farming chicken as properties, I was able to reap the fruits of my labour without having to toil hard.
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: What were the highpoints of your African media career?
*NYANGA: The years I spent as a print journalist at Standard Newspaper/ KTN Broadcast were a highlight of my life. Other than my qualifications I had a natural talent for putting stories and articles together and a passion for doing it.
Every day was different – made to believe that bad news is good news. Everything was different, murders, robberies, including happenings around the country and the world was news.

*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: How were you led into the spiritual realm while reporting for KTN?
*NYANGA: My strong encounter with demons as a news anchor was many years back when I was assigned to interview a witchdoctor which culminated in me talking and connecting myself with evil spirits.
It was the beginning of a nightmare in my life even though I hardly believed in evil spirits or witchcraft.
Accompanied by photography who died six after the interview, i survived by God’s grace.
Having proposed the story idea during our weekly meeting, I was assigned to interview a witchdoctor, and I took it for granted, a big joke so to speak. Upon entering the witchdoctor’s den, we were met with seven huge pots full of blood. one thing led to another and before we knew it, we were locked with seven demons whose high-pitched hoarse voices sent a chill in our spine. Worse still, they seemed to know us more than we could imagine. Hailing from various oceans among them Indian, Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic and Southern Oceans they informed me that they were on a mission abroad to bring back several people who decided to stay away from their family members.
They told me that they take five minutes to fly to any country that they have been assigned to by the family members after drinking blood in the pots. Efforts by them to have me talk to my late Father and relatives fell on deaf ears as I reminded them that there was no connection between living and the dead. Prior to them leaving, the photographer inquired if he could take pictures of them and they obliged. Looking into the camera all we saw were Skeletons. From then on, my life took a turn for the worst. I could hardly sleep, things we were running in my bedroom. There was a time I begun bleeding for five months and servants of God said it was spiritual.
The concoction that I was given to drink and used to take bath by the witchdoctors I learnt later they get the ingredients from the cemetery, not to mention a mixture of liquid used to wash and disinfect dead bodies.
While at the morgue, I was able to see how treatment is done on dead bodies. Although they were several dead bodies at the morgue, morticians used the bodies of a young man and woman as experiments-youths who died in a road accident on their way home from a night club due to over-speeding.
I spent three hours watching morticians treat dead bodies: from washing and disinfecting the body cavity, embalming which involves aspirating or removing fluid from body cavities: chest and abdomen, injecting the body with formalin solution to preserve it. Other steps involved beautification make up for the dead, shaving, grooming and postmortem (optional). The treatment process also included positioning the body on a table-facial features are set, eyes and mouth closed, and limbs straightened (body placed in a resting position).
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: What steps have you been taking for deliverance from genuine men of God to free yourself?
*NYANGA: Due to the excitement and peer pressure I decided to party with friends two weeks prior to travelling back home. Unfortunately, I had an accident (a head on collision that resulted in multiple fractures). By the time I arrived at Indian Private Wing Hospital, the Orthopedic Surgeon informed me that I had fractured by right leg five times and my right arm saying I needed urgent blood transfusion, IVS and a major operation for Eight hours to insert plates to support the fractures.
My family was informed, and my Mum and elder sister came over to India. My Mum now late worked with the United Nations as a nurse. She came over to India, consented for me to be transfused among other requirements. She was able to pay my bills. Prior to my discharge the person who caused my accident came over to the hospital and apologized and I forgave him. He was Indian. A few days later, a pastor came over to pray for me and others at the hospital and requested if I was willing to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal savior. At the time i was professing Jesus Christ but was never serious. He told me that if I did, I would recover and so I did it out of my own convenience.
After a successful surgery, I was able to travel back home a month later aboard Air India. My uncle, now late, worked as a manager back then and was able to make necessary arrangements for me to travel back home safely.
I was met by an ambulance at the airport, my elder brother, a Major and a Doctor at the time.
I was taken straight to Masaba Hospital for one month and later discharged. Due to the nature of my injury, I underwent physiotherapy for months in vain and eventually I had to be taken back to a major government hospital for another major surgery for 9 hours to remove the plates since my health was deteriorating.
I had to be blood transfused. Another major operation was done including when I received IVF fluids and 8 injections per day to prevent infection. Prior to my discharge, the doctors gave me sad news. They said I would never walk, give a bath or dance.
My mother, determined to see me back on my feet, opted to take me to a traditional masseur, with the help of a family with friends. I chose a lifestyle that was not pleasing to God, forgetting that God can never be mocked. I took charge of my life choosing to mingle with non-believers and at times looking down on faithful worshipers
Despite losing many friends to sicknesses, immorality, alcohol and drug abuse, it never bothered me. I had money, fame, good health, beauty and intelligence.
It was at the time that I was privileged to get a job with a popular media house as one of the most sort-after journalists. I also met a man who later became the love of my life, so I thought. But I guess I was wrong. During my stay with my estranged husband, I was never happy, I endured abuse mysterious sickness and financial ruin.
I believe my decision to live with my former husband was influenced by supernatural forces. He used charms to win my affection.
Despite the abusive relationship, cheating and alcohol abuse and witchcraft, I choose to persevere with the hope that all will be well.
I believe my decision to live with my former husband was influenced by supernatural forces. He used charms to win my affection. Despite the abusive relationship, cheating, alcohol abuse and witchcraft, I choose to persevere with the hope that all will be well. Little did I know that I was jumping from a frying pan into fire. There was a time I bled for five months while living with my former husband. Doctors suggested that my uterus be removed.
Not willing to heed to their advice. I went for prayers in a neighboring country and when it was my time for prayer and deliverance, he mentioned that the root course of my problem stemmed from a few years back. When I stayed down to calculate, I was shocked to learn it was when I met my estranged husband, everything turned upside down. The pastor was reached out to me for the first time. He never knew my name and neither did I tell him anything about my health. All glory and honour to God.
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: How true is it that you lost everything after a Congolese demonic man married you in deceit?
Indeed, I lost everything.
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: Why is your YouTube News Channel called ‘CNN’?
*NYANGA: It stands for my name: Caroline Nyanga Network, CNN.
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: What lessons can journalists around the world learn from you, to stay safe from demonic spiritual attack while covering news?
*NYANGA: As a media personality it’s not easy telling your story. We are used to being told stories. Kindly in case you have had any encounter with demons, evil spirits or witchcraft I would advise you to seek spiritual treatment through deliverance done by an anointed servant of God. Do not keep it to yourself since if I had done the same, I would not be alive today. I want you to know evil spirits are real.
After my encounter with the spirits, I took a friend to a witchdoctor’s den. My third encounter was when I learnt my husband was an assistant witch doctor and he later brought a witchdoctor who lived in our house for a month but used to go to the cemetery in the night to attend to different categories of people.
My encounter with evil spirits at the witchdoctors’ den was another chilling experience of my life. On my advice to the younger generation of journalists: Witchcraft/evil spirits are real, whether we believe it or not. Personally, I never believed in evil spirits, choosing to describe them as myths or illusions until I had an encounter with them at the witchdoctors’ den and at home.
One thing I would like to say is that once a person has had an encounter with Witchcraft and evil spirits your life can ever be the same again.
In my situation, not only did I lose my wealth but my health as well. I have been suffering from partial loss of memory, poor vision and retarded speech insomnia, rejection just to name a few.
I was initiated into witchcraft unknowingly by my former husband. I suppose it was destined to be. Having studied at a missionary school earlier, strange spiritual happenings that affected my life at the time even though I was too young to comprehend. Going to India for further studies made the situation worse, given their culture and nature of worship. They worship snakes, particularly cobras, animals and statues, beliefs and practice deeply rooted to mythology, symbolism and folklore. Snakes, particularly the cobra are perceived as gods and symbol of fertility.
I accompanied my Indian friends upon request to a few worship sessions.
*NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER: How can helpers of destiny reach out to you by way of financial help, permanent deliverance and rehabilitation?
*NYANGA: My deliverance session has been going on foy years now, I lost everything. If God can touch the hearts of destiny connectors and helpers to assist, I will be glad. I can be reached directly either by phone call or on WhatsApp in Kenya at: +254724 584 443 and +254722 818 894
