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.."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.
