The Day Njugush And Wakavinye Cried, Prayed While Kneeling Down at a Mombasa Beach

Every love journey has a story of pain and grieve. A situation that resonates well with what comedian Njugush and Celestine Ndinda aka Wakavinye went through when they were dating.

The two met at the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication around 2011, fell in love and in 2016 wedded at a Church in Runda.

But one time they were on a school trip to Mombasa, the two were so broke that instead of joining others in having fun they went to a Mombasa beach, knelt down and started crying then prayed to God.

It was during drama festivals held in Mombasa. They were members of their collegd drama club.

They took a photo together after the prayers. The photo that reminds them the far they have come from.

“We went to the beach and prayed and hoped for a better future together ..and we took the photo with a camera borrowed from a friend” Njugush recalls.

Before they set out to the beach, Njugush found Wakavinye crying and on asking her what was the problem she lied that some things back in her home were not okay but truth is She was hurt by what they were going through with her mpenzi.

“My friends si I prayed….kumbe she was crying for our state of things” Njugush discloses.

Their agonies started before they reached Mombasa for the one-week event. Njugush spent all Sh500 pocket money they had at mtito Andei.

“Nilimalizia pocket money yangu Mtito….nilitoka nje ya bus nikapigwa na kijoto nikajuaa baaas Mombasa tuko hapa. I used all “our” pocket money ya 500kshs. Little did we know we were to stay for a whole week” he recalls.

As their colleagues went to shopping spree, Njugush and Wakavinye walked around supermarkets and at the end would claim what they are looking for has not been stocked so to avoid embarrassment.

Njugush advises; “Just in case you want to give up on that thing that makes you happy, just remember time, time takes care of everything!!!!!!!! You can’t rush Time it has its own right time. Just do what you got to do now, keep that passion alive”.

Today the couple is not only popular, but moneyed and living their dreams.
