Kenyan Hip Hop Heads
New Lister
Mulamwa, Ruth K And Carol Sonnie
"People who plans for valentine sidhani wanapendana, Valentine ni daily. So ikikuja ni just like any other day." Mulamwa, Ruth K's husband, told Dr Ofweneke on Lessons @ 30.
Mshawai jiuliza mbona Mulamwa hua haongei kuhusu ule mtoi wake na his ex wife, Sonnie? Get your popcorns ready niku-plug.
Mulamwa, a Kenyan comedian from Kitale and a nurse by profession, started his comedy journey while in college pale Eldoret then later on akaingia Churchill. Kama kawaida mwanaume hawezi kua na pesa bila mrembo so aliangukia msupa anaitwa Sonnie. Hatukua tunapumua huku mitandaoni. Malavi davi tu wakiwa pamoja. God aliwabless na mtoi mmoja.
Vitu hazikuwaendea poa, na wakavunja the oath of marriage "till death do us apart". They called it quits in December 2021. Mulamwa said that Sonnie cheated on him and that's the reason their marriage couldn't work. Sonnie aliishia na mtoi wao na hatukuwai skia story yake for a while. Tuskize Mulamwa akibonga hapo kwa Dr Ofweneke.
"Ukiona mtu anaplan kukufanyia kitu ujue hii time yote hajakuanga serious na wewe, ndiyo ameamua kua serious that one day." Mulamwa stated kwa interview ya Dr Ofweneke.
Dr Ofweneke aliuliza Mulamwa what kind of love language do they share because most of the time it's the man who gifts the woman? Wanaume kujeni hapa mtupatie jibu. Mulamwa replied that wao wanaishi with surprises. It doesn't matter who brings the surprise first. Anaezatokea hustle apate mamaa amebuy something for him, and he also has something for her. He insisted that anapenda mdem anajituma siyo yule amekaa tu. So for him and Ruth K, love language yao ni, having a common goal and working towards it.
"What do you think that today's girls are doing wrong in relationships or even marriages?" Ofweneke asked.
"Wanaichukulia kama kazi. Unaona hata dem akianza kudate anapiga simu home eti ooh nimepata job." Mulamwa replied as Ofweneke laughed.
"Inakua sasa kama mchezo wa favors. Like uko plale kwa marriage but unaexpect ufanyiwe some things." Mulamwa added.
Huku nje kumbe mnateseka hivi kwa ndoa? Ukikosa kutimiza hiyo something unaachwa? Hiyo inafaa kuitwa blackmail marriage. Mulamwa explains how he expects his woman to be. He says, anapenda dem mwenye analearn from yeye. A woman who feels empowered by her man. In a case of an emergency or shortage of anything in the house, she solves the situation without asking her man for help. Ladies what's your opinion?
Mulamwa anawauliza madem, mbona mnasemanga doh ya mwanaume ni yenyu wawili but yako ni yako pekeako? Are you saving your money to buy a shamba somewhere else and run away? Mnakuaga na agenda gani mtuchanue?
"Do you believe in fifty fifty?" Dr Ofweneke asked.
"Fifty fifty, I'm not a fan of fifty fifty." Replied Mulamwa.
"Why?" Ofweneke asked again.
"I think as a man kwanza, wewe own the house. Be the head. As long as kuna neck pale, be the head. That doesn't mean that the neck is any less. You're in the same capacity, it's just that mwenye ako pale ndiyo atarun zile maneno. Duty yako as a man nikuempower this woman to be able to do all that. So that kusikue na ile uzito like ikae ni kama ameleta fifty fifty, hapana. Ni hii doh imeingia kwa kikapu, ni yetu. So si tuitumie vizuri." Explains Mulamwa.
Marriages of nowdays zinafail sana. I guess this might be among the issue in majority of these failed marriages, ama vipi wadau? Pia kuna madem hufeel awkward kusaidia their spouses with bills pale kwa hao, na wanaume pia kusaidia madem wao job kwa hao. What should we do ndiyo kila mtu akue free kuhelp the other?
Mulamwa alisemaje, ukiwa na dem wa kwako na hataki muweke vichwa pamoja, doh zenyu pamoja mfanye kitu moja ya kujijenga, it means huyo dem ako na plan ya kukutoka or maybe hatabashakutoka already ni wewe hujanotice. This leaves Ofweneke surprised.
Mulamwa narrates on his life. He said alizaliwa Butere where his father worked as an ambulance driver. Then his father akarudi class kusomea Clinical Officer. Ati kuna time budake aliwahamisha na ambulance. Wazazi walihustle walai. He adds that alizaliwa wa pili after his big sister. Mulamwa's mother died while he was 4 years old. His father married again after sometimes and they were blessed with two more brothers. Unfortunately, mama wa kambo pia alipass last year. Mliskia Mulamwa alikua na matanga home. Alidai wanarelate poa sana na the two younger brothers, one is in form four and the other one still in grade 6.
Mulamwa shares about his late mother wa kambo. He say that she was selfless. Angewacha vitu zake ahakikishe amefanya zako kwanza. She was a nurse at Kitale District Hospital. So she could buy uniforms and clothes for Mulamwa. Alikua anabuy vitu za shule na hangejali kujinunjlia nguo because alitaka Mulamwa aende shule kwanza. He says she was the best.
Mulamwa ni chopi by the way. Alitoka form four na 81 points pale St Anthony Kitale. Karibu anishinde bana. Akaenda kufanya Nursing juu budake alimchapia ako na connections abroad. After his nursing course, his father pulled strings and yes, Mulamwa got a job majuu. But makosa ni talent. Mulamwa's name was everywhere in the comedy industry. Hangetoka tu hivyo awache pesa juu hii comedy ilikua inalipa. He had to turn down the job offer.
Are you friends with your dad? Mulamwa confirms he's very close with his father. He says that there are a lot of things his father will learn from him by watching the interview. Stroy za kitambo vile walisumbua wakiwa watoi. Vituko walifanya na wazazi hawakujua.
Dr Ofweneke asks Mulamwa if he consults mzae kuhusu partner wake. Mulamwa replies that his father believes in him coz ule dem ataleta yeye atakubali. He says his father believes in him even in home decision making.
"Your first day on TV, how did it feel like?" Dr Ofweneke asked.
"Naweza sema nilikua nimefanya fanya skits, wasee wamenijua jua sana but not as much. So nikaenda audition nikapita and I was to perform as the third person." Mulamwa explained.
He explains further that ilibidi azime simu hyo day aliperfom Churchill coz watu wengi sana walikua wanampigia after kumcheki kwa telly. Hata yeye hakuamini. His part of the performance ndiyo ilitumika kuadvertise the main show ya usiku. It was a good start for Mulamwa.
Do you know why Mulamwa burnt his comedy attire, his shirt? He tells Ofweneke that he stepped in the industry on a bad foot. He didn't know that when you are famous you are answerable to your fans. This started to fail ile time alishoot videos kwa mandizi. He says hiyo video ilifanya akakosana hadi na girlfriend wake of that time. His father akiwa kazini pia ilimhaunt juu kila mtu alikua anamuuliza kama yeye ni baba Mulamwa. So hizi vitu zote zilimfanya aamue to call it quits kwa industry ya comedy. Shirt ikiungua alikua anarecord video then akaipost and his phone ikadie akaiweka charging na kuendelea na shughuli zake. Later on video ikaenda viral hadi watu wakakam kwao kumsaka. Ikabidi amehepea Eldy kujificha kidogo kwa maarif zake.
Do you believe gatekeepers exists? Here's what Mulamwa tells Ofweneke. He says gatekeepers wako wengi sana. Wako kwa comedy pia especially pale kwa audition. Amesema online platforms zimesaidia sana kufanya vitu kua easy coz unaezapiga audition miaka tano bila kupita.
Ladies, Mulamwa anawapea advice mkue on your feminine energy. Usikue more hard like a man. Legea kidogo let your man be the man. Let him feel the presence of a woman in the house.
"Would you forgive Ruth if she cheated?" Ofweneke asked.
"Sahii? Uongoo. Haiwezi." Mulamwa replied changing his sitting position.
This question ilikam na uzito sana. Walibaki wakicheka. Dakitari akauliza tena ni nini Mulamwa alikua anakosa kwa Caro, coz vile aliingia kwa relationship na Ruth, he had a different kind of energy, the looks and even stable as a man. Mulamwa akajibu kua, Ruth alimsaidia kucorrect the errors he had in his life, not to be a bitter person and more. He advised that you should give your partners time to change and help them change.
