Comedian and now public figure Njugush started all the way from the bottom to where he is today as one of Kenya’s sort after comedian.

Njugush real name Timothy Kimani Nderu who was mentored by one veteran Kenyan actor and producer, Bilal Wanjau at Eastleigh’s FHOK way before he got discovered by Abel Mutua had his fair of tough-life coming up in the entertainment industry before he came to be where he is.

Njugush opened up about his wife being with him through thick and thin even when he was still staying in a bed-sitter apartment in Transami in Embakasi

“This woman has been soo good to me. Starting out bana nilikua nimeparara sana. There was no Njugush just a young guy trying to make it in life. Kuosha masahani kwa hoteli, auditions hapa na pale.

This lady always held me down. I was so broke that at times couldn’t afford supper. She’d always save her college pocket money for that.She’d go to githurai market and do some shopping for the house. Lol yaani she’s that day one.

I was so broke that on her birthdays i used to kill my family members bana “babe nimepigiwa simu kuna uncle wa cousin ya aunt ya cucu wa beste ya mwalimu wangu wa nursery amepass…….. Exams” lol nisiitishwe treat aki but she understood, the heart really wanted to treat her lakini mfuko ilikua petition.

She told me because we gonna be together for long hizo birthday nitalipia tu loool and she was categorical that she’d want one of those birthday’s iwe dubai.” – Njugush said about her then-girlfriend-now wife has always been on his corner,” the comedian shared.

Njugush through a long Facebook post said how he even didn’t want Abel Mutua to know that he was staying in a bedsitter and went to extreme measures of lying to Mutua that his vehicle will be vandalized so that he would be afraid, it worked.

Iv never seen a mgenge lady such as she . I rem one day she came to my kabedsitter pale transami, a neighbours’ laptop had been stolen.physical searches were being conducted house to house, now it was my bedsitter’s turn.
Aki the caretaker aliingia akaona nikiwa na matress na stove only akacheka and said ‘pwaahaha hapa ata mtu hawezi ficha”
After they left this lady laughed out and said “babe usiskie vibaya, hii nyumba siku moja tutajaza”
Thats the moment i knew haendi mahali (also that’s when we started using ata sijaskia vibaya phrase)
Yani nyumba ilikua empty mpaka i made sure Abel mutua never entered that house, alikua anaenda kuingia chochoro nameambia huku ni kubaya side mirror zinaenda kwenda lol so he would fret and anasema nitaingia basi kukiwa mchana, i made sure that didn’t happen.lool

For real she kept me on my toes. Yani i had to make it or make it. I haven’t reached there yet but i thank God so far. He’s been amazing like i can’t say enough.
I don’t know if there’s nothing i wouldn’t do for her, including kushika room
😂. Brothers and sisters never get tired of those humble beginnings
I know you are going to be a wonderful mom
