Amos Junior, the younger brother of renowned Mugiithi singer Samidoh, recently unveiled a family secret, disclosing that their grandfather had advocated for polygamous marriages within their lineage.
In a video shared on Facebook, Amos shed light on their family's unique marital tradition, offering insights into their grandfather's teachings.
Amos revealed that their grandfather, who had experienced difficulties with his sole wife, left behind a message encouraging all men in the family to embrace polygamy.
"You should not marry one wife," Amos sang in the video, reflecting his grandfather's sentiment regarding his grandmother's troublesome behavior as his only wife.
He emphasized that their family's practice of polygamy was not a personal choice but rather a cultural inheritance deeply rooted in their grandfather's teachings.
Amos's revelation gained public attention after Samidoh introduced him on social media during his graduation ceremony. Samidoh proudly celebrated his brother's academic achievement, playfully acknowledging Amos's penchant for procrastination while commending his success.
"Cheers to my little bro, who managed to graduate despite the countless hours spent perfecting his 'procrastination game'! Your graduation is proof that miracles do happen. Best wishes on your future adventures, you magnificent last-minute hero!"
The shared photos on social media also showcased the close bond between Samidoh and his baby mama, Senator Karen Nyamu. Ms. Nyamu attended Amos's graduation party, joining Samidoh and several relatives in celebrating the milestone.
While congratulating Amos, Senator Nyamu spoke about her strong connection with Samidoh, extending beyond their shared parental responsibilities.
Currently, Samidoh's wife, Edday Nderitu, resides in the US with their three children, while Ms. Nyamu continues to offer companionship to Samidoh.
