Aenae Lotianga alias Nesi had high plans when he emigrated from his native Tanzania to Kenya, but he is still nursing a major heartbreak years later.
Nesi is from a low-income family, and despite his desire for an education, he never received one since his aunt, who was educating him, died, and he became a street child.
In an interview with Tuko, Nesi revealed that he was betrayed by his people, leaving him stranded in Nairobi.
Only a stranger saved and hosted him.
“In 2018 I came to Kenya to chase my dreams but everyone I knew switched off their phones on me and I realised I was stranded.
I just followed a Kikuyu man who hosted me in his house in Kirigiti, Kiambu and stayed with him for some time,” said Nesi.
Shortly later, Nesi met a Kikuyu lady who adored him. She later went to Dubai for employment and worked really hard for him.
“My girlfriend returned to Kenya but unfortunately, she was unwell and she later died. I was very devastated,” said Nesi.
“I met another woman; I loved her so much but she only pretended to love me so as to solve her problems. She had a big health problem and because I loved her, I decided to support her. Basically, she had a swelling on her body organs and I spent so much money treating her in private hospitals, specialists and for her surgery,” revealed the musician.
Finally, Nesi’s wife recovered, and after confirming her recovery, his love never slept at home and only texted him.
“I’m sorry, I have to go,” read the message.
At that moment, he was at work.
He tried calling her several times trying to convince her not to leave him.
“I was at work, I called about 200 times but she never picked my phone. I had found her a job and when I went to look for her, the place was closed.
A coworker of the girl told me she had purposefully left her phone at work so he couldn’t call her.
“He told me where to get her and at 1 a.m, I called the number I was given. A man said the woman you are looking for is right here with me in bed and you should no longer look for her,” said the distraught musician.
I asked how she was doing and she said fine and that broke my heart.
“Iwapo utamaliza kumpa huyo bwana anachokitaka utarudi nyumbani?”Nesi asked her.
“My wife told me she will return. I left her and went to buy parrafin because I wanted to burn myself. I cried so much until my neighbours thought I was bereaved. I decided to leave my story behind so I wrote three songs. My neighbour broke my door and saved my life,” said Nesi.
