Renowned comedian from the Churchill Show, Mtumishi, famous for the collaborative comedy duo with Mchungaji, recently created a buzz on social media by sharing a narrative of his tumultuous past. In a candid revelation, Mtumishi disclosed the reasons behind his strained relationship with his mother and the formidable obstacles he overcame on his journey to success.
Addressing the congregation from the church podium, Mtumishi candidly stated that he hasn’t been on good terms with his mother for approximately two years. He admitted to deliberately avoiding her calls, hinting that he might continue to do so.
Mtumishi expressed a belief that most mothers typically desire the best for their children. However, in his case, his mother’s wishes were contrary. She seemed to harbor a persistent desire for him to remain unsuccessful. Mtumishi recounted a pivotal moment when his mother publicly disowned him, prompting him to relocate to Nairobi and embark on a journey of hustling. Starting as an egg vendor, he consistently attended Churchill auditions, despite his mother’s apparent lack of pride when he appeared on TV. She continued to oppose his success, seemingly determined to see him fail.
Even during the introduction of his Gikuyu wife to the family, Mtumishi faced resistance from his mother. Following their wedding, his mother predicted a short-lived marriage, insinuating that he had resorted to dark powers. Unfortunately, Mtumishi and his wife separated after just four months.
Since that difficult period, Mtumishi harbors deep resentment towards his mother, openly declaring that he would feel nothing if she were to pass away today. The emotional toll of the challenges she subjected him to has left him with an enduring sense of detachment. Mtumishi considers his mother to be a colossal mistake in his life, one that he might never be able to forgive.
Despite achieving financial success, Mtumishi revealed that he extended support to his siblings by paying their school fees. However, his efforts to reconcile with his mother have been in vain, and their strained relationship persists. Mtumishi has come to terms with the fact that forgiveness may elude him for the rest of his life.
