Njugush Reveals Origin of Wife’s Nickname

Award-winning comedian Njugush has revealed the origin of his wife, Celestine Ndinda’s nickname, Wakavinye.

In an interview with Mwende Macharia, Njugush explained that the nickname came from the fact that Celestine used to own a Toyota Vitz, which he would call Kavinye.

“Cele used to own a Vitz so I would call it Kavinye,” Njugush said. “That is how I ended up calling her Wakavinye, which means ‘the owner of Kavinye’.”

Njugush praised his wife as an important part of his successful career and said that their partnership will continue into the future. He also defended his decision to work with his wife, despite some critics who have advised him to stop.

“The only person and I keep saying it, mtapanda, mtateremka, but I will never stop working with Cele,” Njugush said. “She is the only person who trusted me when no one else did. Hata hawa wanapiga makelele they were nowhere to be seen and now all of a sudden …don’t work with your wife!!”

Njugush added that his wife has the training and experience needed for the role, having gone to school to study the same.

“She is a content creator, she is a producer, she is a director,” Njugush said. “She has the training and the experience. So why would I not work with her?”

Njugush and Celestine have been married for over 10 years and have two children together. They are one of Kenya’s most popular celebrity couples and their work together has been praised by many.
