Four years after the death of her Nigerian husband, Wavinya Ndeti took to her social media to pay tribute to him.

Celebrating him as a loving husband, she penned,

'If there is one person I really miss in my life is my husband, Prince Henry Dolamu Oduwole.

This gentleman was a loving husband, father and real man. Rest peacefully darling till we meet again.

I lost my husband to Colon cancer.'

She went on to advise,

'When we get to 50 years we should have a colonoscopy and endoscopy tests. African men may find it intrusive but its necessary to catch it early.

We were late.'

Oduwale met his untimely death in 2016.

He died at Nairobi Hospital where he had been admitted after his blood pressure shot up drastically.

He was in ICU at the time.

Wavinya met Oduwale in the early 1990s in the UK where they were both pursuing higher education.

The couple had three kids, two sons and a daughter.

Wavinya is a veteran politician in Kenya.
