Kambua not yet ready to open about about pregnancy, mourn for those who can’t get a baby

Posted on by Brian Onyango

Gospel singer Kambua was on social media recently to confess that her journey to become pregnant wasn’t easy.

The soon to be mother, as much as she’s not yet ready to share about her journey yet, said that she’s keeping in mind those who can’t carry a baby because she understands how it feels.

“My journey is a miracle whose details I still haven’t shared. One day I will. But as God continues to write my story and perfect what He began, let me share my heart with you. 
I’ve been around long enough and been through enough to know that pregnancy journeys are not perfect- far from it. They are messy, hope-filled, scary, joyful, and just very… complicated.” she said. 

“I also know that for waiting wombs, pregnancy announcements can be serious triggers. I have lived it- how you just want to be so happy for others but somehow your own grief and struggle overwhelms you. 
But my years of waiting allowed God to deal with my heart. He taught me that He was enough for me, and that I was complete in Him. I didn’t know how or when God would turn the tide for me, I did, however, know, that even when it hurt beyond words, my trust would always be in Him.”

Journey

Kambua had to wait for almost six years to carry the baby. The journey has been frustrating. The years when she struggled to be a mum were not easy but she clung onto hope which paid off eventually.

“So for any woman whose pain was triggered by my announcement, I have prayed that God will turn your darkness into a spark of hope. I pray that your faith is renewed in knowing that His power knows no bounds. I pray that you find yourself whole in Him,” she said.  

“Motherhood does not complete us; God does. Motherhood is a great calling, but it’s not the only calling. 
If you’re on this journey, drop me a ????, I will be praying with and for you.
God asked Abraham, “Is anything too hard for the LORD”? So I ask you today beloved, “Is anything too hard for Him”?” 

Kambua has given us hope- Gospel artiste Evelyne Wanjiru shares after Kambua got pregnant

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Kambua’s first pregnancy is more than just a blessing to her. It’s a sign of hope for others too who are also in the same scenario trying to get their first baby.

Speaking in an interview with Massawe Jappanni on Radio Jambo,  gospel singer Evelyn Wanjiru said that she has now hopeful she’ll also get pregnant after learning Kambua has a baby on the way.

Evelyne has been married for the last seven years and hasn’t been able to bear a child.

“Kambua and I got married the same day and I am so proud [of her pregnancy] and hopeful [I will have a child of my own too]. If we were in the same boat [of having a childless marriage] we would have been both crying. If I don’t congratulate her now when my time reaches no one will even notice me. It has given me hope because I know my miracle is on the way,” she posted. 

The journey

The journey hasn’t been easy for the two of them she also opened up about how supportive her husband of 7-years has been.

“My marriage has been an interesting journey but I don’t worry because I don’t have kids. My husband really gives me strength. If I was getting pressure from him I would have been worried. I, however, do get pressure from other people including close friends,” she said. 

She added:

“There is a day a friend asked me to close myself in a closet and ask god for a child. That thing hurt me a lot but my husband encouraged me to wait for god’s time. I am under medication for hormonal imbalance. My advice to other women is for them not to give up.”

Gospel singer Kambua is pregnant.

Social media is currently awash with congratulatory messages as the gospel singer revealed her baby bump in a lovely photo.

Kenyans on social media celebrated like she’s family because most are clear with how tough Kambua’s journey has been regarding starting a family.

Frustrations

The singer has been married for seven years now to Jackson Mathu and had been childless since then. This attracted social media trolls and bullying which always left her stressed.

“There’s nothing I haven’t been told, from you must have aborted many children, go get yourself checked, ulirogwa na nani?” Kambua once said. 

“I remember thinking, the reason why it angers me is because people don’t even know what your journey is like. They don’t know what you’re struggling with.

“They don’t know if you even what to have children, they don’t know if you can have children and there are so many people especially today who are struggling with infertility.

“It so unfortunate that we become such a culture of being so intrusive and putting people down. Shamming each other on things like that. I would wish that people would be sensitized. I have people who are close to me who might not be at the fore front like I am but who go through that everyday.”

Anniversary

Kambua opens up on nasty accident that almost killed: I had to be hospitalized for three months 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Gospel singer Kambua has opened up about an accident that almost killed.

Speaking on Maisha Magic’s Story Yangu programme, the singer confessed that she almost died after falling in a basin full of hot water as a three year old.

“Nilichomeka vibaya sana, ilikuwa 3rd degree burns. For three months I was admitted in hospital with third-degree burns. The doctors despaired…there was little hope for me. But God still had a plan for my life. God saved me from the sting of death, and in spite of what the doctors feared, I began my slow but steady journey to recovery.

“Due to the damage caused on my skin by the burns, the doctors suggested that my family take me for plastic surgery, but before a decision could be made, the great physician, Jehovah Rapha, continued to restore me. It got to a point where the doctors said there probably would be no use for plastic surgery because it seemed that I was recovering speedily and better than they had expected. I am now alive with only scars to show that I went through the valley of the shadow of death,” she said. 

Ugly

She went on to add that growing up, she felt ugly because of the scars.

“Growing up I was very conscious of my scars, and what people thought of them. I worked hard to conceal them and would never expose myself publicly (for instance during swimming). I felt ugly, and always endeavoured to protect myself from curious stares.

“When my relationship with God started to grow, I also came to understand that when He sees me, He is not distracted by the scars – He sees beyond them; He sees a woman who is fearfully and wonderfully made in His image and likeness! I began to really and truly believe that He loves me and my scars because they are part of who I am.

“This freed me totally and liberated me from my fears. And though I’m human and sometimes feel a little self-conscious, especially when someone stares at my scars, I remind myself that God, my creator, loves me…scars and all! I also realized that the more comfortable I became in my own skin, the less of a big deal my scars were even in other people’s eyes,” she stated.

 

‘My father was not a witch doctor’ Kambua forced to defend family business

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Gospel singer Kambua comes from a family that is known for selling herbal drugs. Her late dad, Professor Manundu, was among the first in Kenya to sell herbal drugs through his company Tabibu Cures International.

Many know Tabibu Cures International from its shows on TV when Manundu used to have a show talking about herbal drugs.

With that said, singer Kambua wanted Kenyans to understand that her dad was not a witch doctor, but a natural physician.

“We are an alternative medicine provider and not waganga as often misinterpreted. We use nature to advise people on how they can supplement the modern medicine with diet and well living,” she said.

Taught us persistence

She went on to add that her dad taught her to be resilient and persistent. She also added that she now runs their company and is glad her father taught her the business.

“My dad was a special human being. There was no impossibility in his life. He made everything seem so easy, so doable that sometimes I wonder how I managed to do it all. No doubt he left too big a pair of shoes for anybody to ever fit in,” she said. 

She added:

“My brother and I took over Tabibu cures ministries and many times, we keep referring to ‘How dad would have done this or that’. I miss him alot but I am grateful for the time spent with him.”

Kambua: My husband is a businessman not a pastor 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Gospel signer Kambua has come out to clarify a few things about her marriage and assured Kenyans she’s very much in love and happy.

The singer has been in the headlines several times in the past because of her union with Jackson Mathu. The two were married in 2012 and many claimed that Mathu was too old for Kambua.

People have also been criticizing the singer for being in childless marriage for so long, something that has been pissing her off.

“People will have an opinion over everything, over children. Today I saw a comment and deleted it because this guy commented on my Instagram and he says ‘When are you going to get pregnant, you’re getting old,” she said. 

Happy

In an interview with Salaon Magazine, Kambua said that she’s happy she married him and also clarified that he’s not a pastor.

“All I can say is that I married the right man. I fell in love with him because he knew what he wanted and he went for it. I am enjoying my marriage and I look forward to many happy years with him.” he said. 

Wanavuta Bhangi kupindukia! Samburu residents protest over violent children smoking weed and terrorizing them 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

As much as some may want it legalized, Samburu residents would rather not.

Samburu East Sub County residents on Wednesday staged protests against rampant selling and consumption of marijuana in Wamba town which has led to increased crime rates.

The locals, comprising of religious leaders and Maendeleo ya Wanawake representatives, took to streets to protest saying that their children have become criminals and violent thanks to the drug.

“It is so sad that some people are forced to leave their villages and towns to escape being attacked by their children who have become addicts. The health of many youths in the town has been affected and their future ruined as a result of smoking bhang,” said Religious Leaders’ Association deputy chairperson, Stephen Larmoko. 

Peddlers

The protesters, who were led by Religious Leaders’ Association coordinator Rev. Joseph Lemidi and Mr Larmako, decided to chase away a man who they suspect is peddling the drug.

“We welcome anyone who is coming with an idea that will benefit our children, women and men, not an idea that will finish us. Putting a stop to drug trafficking in the town is really proving difficult as high profiled people are involved in the business.” said Rev Lemidi.

They two groups also challenged the National and County governments to intervene and save the youth in the area.

“I ask County and National government to use any means to fight bhang business in this town so that we can move together with our fellow Kenyans in building the nation,” said Larmoko.

 

Kambua talks to her late dad from heaven during Father’s Day 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

During Father’s Day on Sunday, many celebs took to social media to thank their dads and husbands.

Gospel singer Kambua took to Instagram to speak to her late dad to tell him how she misses him.

Miss him

Kambua lost her dad in 2014 and she has always been open about how empty she feels without her father.

*Father’s Day* I cannot tell you how many times in the last few years I’ve picked up my phone to call my dad, and then just as quickly remembered that he, one day started off on a journey, on a one-way ticket. I miss him,” she posted.

“Terribly. Everyday. I am a daddy’s girl, unapologetically. He held my hand through decades of my life; I held his hand as the curtain closed on his.???


Listen, if you have your Father, here, now, let him know what he means to you. If you need to make things right, please do. Or at least try. ??? Happy Father’s Day to all of you amazing dads out there working hard to ensure that your tribe is well taken care of. We see you. We appreciate you. ?

Kambua: We all need help from time to time. Life can get so hard sometimes

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Singer Kambua has opened up about fighting depression saying that sometimes it’s fine to open up when having a problem.

The singer, who has been attacked more than once by Kenyans online, confessed that sometimes people need to speak up to someone when they are fighting something.

“Look, I’ve sometimes called a friend, or my mom and simply said, “I’m losing the plot”. And they’ve come to my aid. We all need help from time to time. Life can get so hard, but you don’t have to go at it alone. Let me tell you: #Depression is REAL. As real as the air you breathe. I don’t know how many more people we need to lose to suicide in order for us to acknowledge that mental illness is a serious condition that needs treatment like the flu, or cancer… So many of us are fronting while dying a little every day.” 

She went on:

“Too afraid to ask for help because people will talk, judge, or dismiss you. “It’s all in your head”, they say. Well YES it is in the head & heart. A brokenness in the mind, that can be fixed if we allow people to seek help. Someone earlier argued that therapy is expensive- I hear you. But getting help is not limited to sitting with a therapist. It could be a friend, a family member, a colleague… but the moment we make it seem as though there are no options is the very moment we take a plunge.”

Adding:

“I know of FREE helplines if you want to talk to somebody. Also, if you’re reading this and you’re on the verge of giving up, please don’t give up. Please don’t give up. Please. Don’t give up.”

Kambua shares how her ex-boyfriend used to ruthlessly body shame her

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Gospel singer Kambua has had her own fair share of disappointments in relationships. Several times the lady, who has been married for almost 6 years now with no kids, has come out to shun Kenyans attacking women in marriages that have not been blessed with a baby.

Recently she also touched on the issue of ladies battling with body image issues, sharing her boyfriend shamed her for being plump.

“Many years ago, I was dating his guy, I was living life on the chubbier side of life. i was a lot heavier than i am now. i was fresh from high school and i met this guy, we liked each other so we started dating,” kambua said.

She went to add that her man kept on body shaming her and didn’t bother to help her check her weight or habits.

“But this guy has a serious issue with my weight. And he was constantly showing me different exercises. He has a lot of advise to give me. It did not bother me too much. There was a time he said something like, ‘You finished a whole chapo by yourself? A whole chapo?’”

“That was like strike two and a half. Strike three was this one time we were going out for a late lunch we went to a fast food place so he bought one piece of chicken for me, one for himself and a pack of fries for us to share.

Be with someone who celebrates you

“So, please keep in mind that i’m already conscious about my weight, what i eat around this guy because of what he said about the chapo. We start eating, i’m eating very slowly nibbling on my chicken taking a fry here and there, then halfway through the meal he goes like ‘i don’t think you should eat any more fries.’

She continued, “He takes the rest of the pack and continued to eat. So i just swallowed a kiwaru, literally. As i’m eating my chicken, he goes like, are you going to finish that, k? And i handed my chicken over to him. Everything inside me, it was like a mixture of balancing my tears, feeling humiliated, hungry and angry.”

Adding, “The relationship, obviously did not last. What I learnt from it is, don’t be with someone who body shames you be with someone who celebrates who you are in every season of your life.

Anyway, Kambua has revealed that even with such rude and hurtful comments she continues to carry on with her life. Not everyone would understand her situation but she would like people to mind their own business!

Planning to have children soon
