Kenyan Gospel Singer Emmy Kosgei Defends Decision to Get Married to an 'Old' Nigerian Man
Celebrated Kenyan gospel singer Emmy Kosgei has defended her decision to get married to an 'old' Nigerian man.
Speaking during an interview at K24's Talk Central show, Kosgei said she opted to settle down with Anselm Madubuko, the Nigerian General Overseer of the Revival Assembly Church, following years of disappointment and hurt.
Kosgei further stated that she was initially reluctant to move in with Madubuko as she feared a repetition of mistakes she made in past relationships.
“When God has preordained something he gives the ease, it’s how I look back today I have grown so much today, I have grown spiritually, the stability and how I am today is not how I was many years ago, If I was married to somebody I would be stuck in a village somewhere taking care of some people, stuck somewhere…” said Kosgei.
She indicated that she would never settle for a younger man should she separate with her current husband.
“No way (I can’t marry a younger man if I divorce). They come with their own problems and where I have gone now (high) is a big gap ooh…My husband has got me, he loves me,” added Kosgei.
On how followers of her husband's church reacted to their marriage, she said: “You know women, pastor wenu akiwa single, they have their eyes fixed on him, sema tu Jambo. One Sunday he just announced to the congregation that all of you are my spiritual children, I cannot pick from my flock it is wrong. I am going very far for a girl in Kenya..But the people are there now, some of them have come back, they realized I am just a simple girl.."

Before Emmy got married, she was rumoured to have been Arap Mashamba's side-kick. So I see why she is Better off where she is Right now (with what is Morally and Rightfully hers).
Stop your nosy and jelous altitude. It only proves your stupidity, sir.
I am not your Sir you Scoundrel. So FYI: Read my Comment again and you'll know that You're the Stupid one (for its no Brainer I am for her and Not against her).
God bless you and your family
.God no our way before your born
Marry whoever you want,or choose.I personally dont believe God gets into our personal decisions. It he did,then we would hold him responsible for our failures,and successes.
God gives us brain to decide what is good,or bad for us,and we face the consequences of these choices.
Anyway, happy marriage.
Maxiley. Then you do NOT believe in God. And I am Surprised.
isaid God has give us brains to decided what is good or bad for us.nothing to do with beliefs
I am sorry. Come again?
You are very wise maxiley ,I once was taught what you have just written
I myself am in the same situation with a Pastor. He Loves me and i Love him. I believe in my heart that God has blessed us with each other. Life is so short. Be happy. Enjoy your life & each other. Love has come to you both once again. Do not allow satin to take it away. Rejoice and be happy. God Bless you both & your Church.
Minji minji. maduboko is happy to get minji minji. Emily live your own life. People will talk no matter what. Do what is good for you gal.
Kaa hapo hapo na MUNGU akubaliki.I lived in Nakuru at the time you got married and the busybodies were talking ill of you.But i told them to go to hell,none of them cared about you for thirty years you were there.
It’s not going to work. You’re looking at young men as the problem, instead of looking at what you’re Attracted to as the problem. It’s easier to look at someone else as the problem, instead of looking at yourself. That old man is taking advantage of you. You will out grow him soon. What you attracted to his the problem. Not the young men.
@Carol. Stop the negative energy. Wish her well. There so many young ladies who are married to old men and they are happily married until they die of old age. Age is just a number.
Mind your own business Carol.Endelea na kuwidana na wanaume KOINANGE,SABINA JOY,MODERN GREEN,ZIWANI etc na ukumbuke kupeleka iyo kuma yako CASINO iliyo nyuma ya GROGOAN rd kupimwa ukimwi.
how is the'oldmam' taking advantage of her,and how do you know that she is taking advantage of his old age
meant to say...how do you know that she is not taking advantage of his old age?
Rumbwa, was that really necessary? Carol is just airing her views. Lordy!!
He is an old mzee who was looking for the next young thing .It appears like she is more of a trophy wife until the next one comes along.Ati he cannot pick from his own flock stupid excuse it is like a teacher denying to give a former student a recommendation letter.Furthermore he is Nigerian and their reputation precedes them.
God saw it best for you to get married to him. endeleeni kupendana wengine wakifa na wivu.
I don't know my sister emmy,but if God spoke to you to Marry that pastor is well and good, but from my observation you deserved a man of your age bracket.you r beautiful,energetic etc,to get married to a man of that age?I know from the bottom of your heart their must be some how and what?but kama ya mungu ni sawa.
I believe in God and surly know that Satan has more power over human understanding.It is only when all of us be serious in prayers. I advise my Sister Emmy to pray.What comes from God is always holly .we pray God for revelation .
Please watch Emmy's surmons in church on YouTube you will give thanks to God that she married Madubuko.
ok where were u when Ammy was getting married, stop complaining for nothing ,thats call it jealous u have ,watcha kuogea kama kasuku pray instead
This is really encouraging to us old jogoos,if only I had the cash.. should have chosen a different career.
Some comments makes no logic and can only hurt our star. The best thing is to pray for this couple to be blessed with a kid. Kids tend to beautify and camouflage marriages irrespective of the age diff. Many good leaders and celebs have indulged in such contracts with good outcomes( e.g Jommo Kenyatta and mama Ngina, Abraham and young wives, Celine Dionne etc). So Emmy's not the first nor the last.
All is well with Emmy and husband. I wish you good life. God's choice is the best.
