Comedian Oga Obinna marked his debut on Kiss FM radio on Monday. 

Speaking on his new venture, Obinna said he is going to make his own impact on the show and not try to work like or outshine former show host Jalang'o. 

"I am bringing Obinna, i am not bringing Jalango' I am not trying to be Jalang'o, not trying to fit in Jalang'o's shoes. Before you judge, listen to the show," he said. 

In an exclusive interview with Mpasho's Kalondu Musyimi, Obinna said he is passionate about Radio and that the vetting process did not scare him. 

"I have done radio for a very long time, I love it and I enjoy it, so I don't feel the pressure. What gives you the pressure on radio is if your co-host is giving you a hard time. But if they are easy...it is the best job you will ever do," Obinna said. 

He revealed that he was prepared for any result after being tested among other comedians. 

Even though they are friends with Jalang'o, he did not give him a hint on whether he was the chosen one. 

" He told me they will try me, Ofweneke and others. I remember telling him 'let's try and see'. Even if I wasn't here, I wouldn't feel bad because I would know they are looking for something different."

Obinna was prepared for the job but would have accepted a negative outcome if it came his way. 

"If any other person got it I would not have felt bad. If it is your time you will get it. Personally, I was prepared, I was always rehearsing for this opportunity, I was ready...I was just sitting waiting for the call," Obinna shared.
