Comedian George Njoroge, popularly known as Njoro, has opened up about how he wasted millions of shillings before he ended up depressed.
Njoro opened up about his dangerous extravagance during a recent interview with Massawe Japanni on Radio Jambo.
The comedian said that he earned a whopping Ksh 3.9 million after performing in US at various times, and wasted the money on binge drinking and partying.
“It was party after party for me. I had so much money at the time and I did not think it would ever run out. Hence, I blew it all and in no time, I was broke,” said Njoro.
Njoro further said that he spent some of the money he earned from his comedy career, but he regrets that he did not use the money to secure assets.

The comedian soon slipped into depression after squandering his money, he drank like a fish to mask his frustrations and even became suicidal.
“On numerous occasions, I tried to commit suicide by unsuccessfully throwing myself off an escarpment and taking poison. Every time I went through such a moment, my wife would call my parents and this behaviour would worry them a lot,” said Njoro.
