A few weeks ago, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua urged mugithi singer Samuel Muchoki, better known as Samidoh, to sort issues around his family and baby mama.
DP Gachagua was referencing the drama that ensued after Senator Karen Nyamu got into a confrontation with Samidoh’s wife Edith ‘Edday’ Nderitu in Dubai in December 2022.
“Wewe Samidoh ni rafiki yangu, na unajua vile tunakupenda na nyimbo zako lakini kuna pahali unatuangusha kidogo,” the DP said.
In a statement she wrote on her social media pages, Edday poured her heart out about the pain and humiliation she has been experiencing in their marriage.
Edday expressed her disappointment and frustration with her husband’s actions. She revealed that their marriage has been full of ups and downs over the past 15 years and that the past three years have been particularly painful.
“It has been exactly 15 years of marriage full of ups and down, it was a humble beginning where little was enough for us, but for the last 3 years it has been nothing but pain, I have remained faithful to you regardless of disrespect, humiliation and being trolled on social media, you’ve made me look dumb and took my silence for granted,” Edday said.
Edday went on to relay her disappointment with her husband’s behaviour despite supporting his talents and how it has affected her and their children. She made it clear that she will not tolerate a polygamous marriage.
“I have helped you nature your talent and supported you through it all, but one thing I have said to you and I am saying here again I will not raise my kids in a polygamy family, especially with a woman who is older than me by more than 10yrs, has no morals and zero respect to my family.
“I have asked God every day to give me strength to pray for you but today I have nothing to tell God about you, you have drag and put me and my kids in an ocean of pain may you remember this,” Edday said.
Reacting to the story, Here are what fans had to tell Samidoh:
Shee Wa Njeri: This is so so painful Samidoh you will regret all your life..The tears of your wifeEdday nderitu will haunt you all your life..Samidoh you should be adviced accordingly else these curses will follow you. aki. this is painful even if.
Mugure Sandra: What you are doing to Eddy will come back to haunt you ,how can you humiliate someone who has never done you wrong,never put you to shame and only loved you. Such a pity that she loves you but today she has spoken you will surely regret this.
Mary Ben Tonny: May that tears and humiliation you have caused your wife gets back to you gûtirî wathî ugathiî igûrû
Irene M Shamim: I know men are polygamus…but samidoh ulishidwa kuprotect Edday kabisaa,the humiliation is too much,kumbuka mlianzia chini pale highschool
Muthoni Wah: Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.”
Florence Njeri: Nyamu hapa ilikua wapi nothing hurts like disrespect polygamy is not issue never say I wish I knew like baba Nyawira malipo ni hapa nduniani
