I dated Muigai Wa Njoroge for three days, said Njeri, his first wife.

In an exclusive conversation with Jeff Kuria, Njeri, the first wife of well-known gospel musician Muigai wa Njoroge, recounted the modest beginnings of their love tale.

They were destitute, Njeri revealed with fondness as she related the events leading up to their serendipitous meeting.

“While working as a house girl in Kiambu town, I got to know Muigai.” We had no money at all. He was searching for a place to put his belongings because his house was locked, and I was going to beg for a place to sleep.

They both sought safety in a Kiambu home and found comfort in each other’s companionship. Njeri described their early belongings and gave a clear account of their financial difficulties.

She revealed, “Muigai had two basins, a mattress, and two sufurias.”

Despite their difficulties, love developed swiftly. After three days of dating, we tied the knot on the fourth day. I had found a place to call home. After we moved in together, God granted us children.

With his popular song “Kigutha,” Muigai wa Njoroge made his breakthrough in the evangelical music arena in 2004.

When Njeri thought back on their early years, she said, “That’s when God started blessing us.” We would travel to a specific hotel and dine there because we didn’t even have a stove to cook on.
Despite the difficulties they encountered, she claimed that their perseverance and faith kept them moving forward.

Njeri stressed that the difficulties that come with being well-known frequently fall on a public figure’s spouse.

“We have comparable problems because we are human; the only difference is that we are visible to the public.” “Everything that people experience is the same as what most of us experience,” she emphasized.

Njeri was thankful for her husband’s unwavering support in spite of the difficulties.

“The voyage has been enjoyable, and I have not encountered any negative aspects of him because, even after he hit, he did not abandon me. That’s also when my fame started to grow. Although there were drawbacks, I value the experience. Four children are a blessing for Njeri and Muigai.
