Ohangla star, Lady Maureen discharged from hospital but with nowhere to go

Revered Benga musician, Lady Maureen hit the headlines after her ailment took a toll on her but she has now been discharged but with no place to call home.

Real names, Maureen Achieng´ Otiu, was discharged from Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital on Saturday, the 20th of February after her condition stabilized.

Maureen´s mother has refused to take in her daughter, as Ms Nancy Achieng´ – who has been taking care of the singer in hospital – revealed.

Sharing this with the Nation on Tuesday, Nancy revealed that pending family misunderstandings have rendered the musician homeless.

The mother has barred me from taking the singer to her place due to an unresolved issue.

When Akothee sought someone to take care of the Benga musician, Nancy took up the task.

However, it is proving tough on Nancy, especially due to financial constraints.

My plan was to get Lady Maureen a rental house and someone to look after her but the funds are insufficient.

Lady Maureen´s health became alarming roughly two years ago when she was admitted at St Francis Community hospital in Kasarani. She was diagnosed with hypertension.

She was later admitted to Pastor Machage Memorial Hospital in Migori. Before being moved to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital where she has been discharged.

Nancy´s plea to well-wishers is for assistance with the Ohangla singer.

For a year, I have not seen any of her Nairobi friends – Lady Maureen´s mother sobs

Ailing Ohangla singer, Lady Maureen´s mother, Margaret Akinyi has expressed disappointment in her daughter´s friends who deserted, soon as she fell ill.

The mother spoke with utter frustrations, questioning the kind of friends Lady Maureen splashed money on, only to take off when things got worse.

Speaking to Mpasho, the mother expressed:

For the past year, I´ve not seen any friend mwenye alikuwa anakula nao Blueband huko Nairobi. Wanasemanga kibaya ndio inabakia mzazi. Na mimi ndiye nimebakia naye.

Revealing that she has been the one by Maureen´s side all along, even spending nights at the hospital.

Treatment

Fortunately enough, the singer´s body has been responding well to treatment, as they await her blood sample test results.

The singer´s mother thanked all who came out to assist at their times of need.

Her health has improved compared to five days ago. She was weak, couldn´t walk or eat, but now she can. Blood samples were taken on Monday and X-rays done though the results are not out yet.

During a phone interview with Word Is, the ailing singer only shared:

I´m weak and in pain.

Akinyi´s Advice

Lady Maureen´s mother urged and insisted that despite one accumulating wealth and living well, those at home – family and especially parents – should always be thought of.

Remember where you came from and your parents as well. If God blesses you, don´t squander your money with strangers or rather people who don´t advise you to invest. Because when you go broke, they all run away and it is us, parents, who suffer especially if you get sick just like my daughter´s case.

Ohangla star, Lady Maureen still undergoing treatment

Her word being:

There´s no true friend like Jesus Christ. He will never desert you when everyone else does. Niko na uchungu mwingi kwa sababu sina mali yoyote mtoto wangu ameniachia.

Speaking of celebrities who soon after gracing the world of fame, desert their very own and forget where they come from, until tables turn.

When they are doing well, they don´t remember those back home. But when life changes for the worse, they become a burden to parents.
