[SIZE=5]‘I regret squandering 3.9million with alcohol and parties,’ Churchill Show comedian Njoro says[/SIZE]
Former Churchill show comedian George Maina Njoroge alias Njoro says he wasted sh3.5 million in alcohol and parties.
In a radio interview with Massawe Japanni, Njoro said that he had gone for three US trips and had earned Ksh1.3 million on each of the trips.
“It was party after party for me. I had so much money at the time and I did not think it would ever run out. Hence, I blew it all and in no time, I was broke,” he said.
Though he spent some of the money with his family, Njoro said he regrets that he did not use the money to secure assets.
Njoro went on saying that he would get violent when he took alcohol to a point that his wife had to hide any harmful weapons like knives.
“On numerous occasions, I tried to commit suicide by unsuccessfully throwing myself off an escarpment and taking poison.”
e continued;
“Every time I went through such a moment, my wife would call my parents and this behaviour would worry them a lot.”
In July this year, Njoro opened up to Kenyans after fellow comedian Zeddy reached out to him saying he was in the verge of giving up as he was fighting depression.
Kenyans rallied to support him and was taken to a rehab where he spent three months.
During the interview, he appreciated the kindness extended to him and promised to return to the entertainment.
He has since landed two job opportunities; one at Flamingo Radio and another at KTN News.
“I feel blessed. The situation was difficult but I managed to pull through. If God intervenes in your life, then you don’t have to struggle or lose hope.
“My life changed and I am now managing my finances better. I had even separated with my wife and children (owing to depression) but we have now reconciled.”
Problems of being in front of camera without alot of dough, then compelled by societal pressures to conform to its demands. . . You race till you burn out.
Na si kina Zeddy walipiga pang’ang’a hapa vile Churchill huwalipa peanuts ndio wanapata stress? Sasa ghaseer inatuambia hapa vile ilikojolea mita tatu nukta tisa. Churchill hapana baba ya mtu hapo, ikiwa huwezi jipanga enda ukufe na huko uwachie watu wengine opposhunete.
He was a regular hapo on-tap bistro Federal way,Wa
He forgot to add women.
Wariah took over that place…was a good joint…
Which escarpment is that he threw himself off numerous times and survived? Anyways it’s none of my business.
Huyu jamaa hupenda kulia sana.
hauoni alienda US mara tatu obviously haujasoma hio statement vizuri
Beta chieth male
A cautionary tale.
3.9 is not that much…
Toa hio 3 halafu unipee hio .9 uone kama sio mingi kwangu. That money I can multiply it in one year.
Kiuks have business accumen sasa huyu ni wa wapi anakojolea 3 mirrion and I have never seen him anywhere fancy… Hakununua,nguo,nyumba wala gari…
Easy come easy go.
The tragedy is that there are graduates who trained to be radio disc jockeys and cannot find even internship positions yet this guy got opportunities just like that. This world haina huruma. You work so hard to attain something yet somebody else just walks in and gets it for free.
Maybe that’s why local FM radio is sh*t most of the time.
Hakuna kitu mbaya kama easy money. Kwa wale wamekula pesa substantial kwa betting everyone has a story to tell vile walijiachilia na kuzikojolea na malaya.
Mungu anakupenda, thats why hes keeping you broke. Most of you mkipata 50 million mtakufa within a year.
Poor person’s mindset, you are broke because of your own deeds and environment. and being broke is not a good thing, wacha kujiconsole.
Alijoin gani sasa?
Sawa Birrionaire!
