Njugush is one comedian who shows what hard work, fortune and good will can do for an aspiring entertainer.

He has scaled the ranks of fame and done so with his day one woman. Who? His wife Celestine, aka Wakavinye, who has always been by his side.

He added:

So unajua ni when I was on TV , I was broke yes I’m famous but pesa hakuna, so nilikuwa naogopa kupropose juu hataki hizi pete za River road, juu anataka hizi za 40k, sasa 60K. so for me proposal ilipita ivo. The most important thing was my commitment to her, I told her nataka tukae mpaka mwisho. Enyewe hiyo time hatukuwa na pesa, coz nilikuwa nimequit job.

This translates to: "I was on TV, but was broke. I was afraid of proposing because she wouldn't want a ring from River Road. She wanted something between Sh40,000-60,000. The most important thing was that we stayed together until the end."

Njugush has found himself a Proverbs 31 woman, something that is increasingly rare in this day and age of slay queens and socialites. A woman who can grow with a man, from the lows of lack to the highs of success.

A fact he should be proud of.
