Amos Junior, the younger brother of popular Mugiithi singer Samidoh, has disclosed that their grandfather advocated for polygamous marriage within their family.
Amos made this revelation in a recent video on Facebook, shedding light on their family’s unique marital tradition.
According to Amos, their grandfather, who had experienced difficulties with his sole wife, left behind a message encouraging all men in the family not to marry just one wife.
“You should not marry one wife’ this is what my grand father said because of how his wife, my grandmother, disturbed him since she was his only wife,” Amos Jnr sang in the video.
Amos highlighted that their family’s practice of polygamy was not a decision they made on their own, but rather a cultural legacy.
He stated in the video, “It is not our wish,” implying that their allegiance to polygamy was a result of their grandfather’s teachings.
After Samidoh introduced Amos on social media during his graduation ceremony, the audience learned about his revelation.
Sharing pictures of them together, Samidoh enthusiastically congratulated his younger brother Amos on his scholastic success, making fun of Amos’s propensity to put things off.
The pictures posted on social media showed just how close Samidoh was to his mother, senator Karen Nyamu.
Samidoh and a few of his family, as well as Ms. Nyamu, attended Amos’ graduation celebration.
The senator congratulated Amos and talked about her close relationship with Samidoh, which goes beyond their joint parental duties.
Edday Nderitu, Samidoh’s wife, and their three children are currently living in the US, but Ms Nyamu still keeps Samidoh company.
