Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Robai explained that this was not his first marriage, as he had previously been in unsuccessful marriages.
“I was taken by my parents in my first marriage, but we finished six months, I returned to Nandi Hills. While there I gave birth, but my father ran away. His parents were good, they helped me a lot, and I stayed there for a while before leaving,” he said.
In the same way, Robai became a single mother of two children, and considering that they needed a living, she decided to find a job in Nairobi and find a life for herself.
“I left my children at home and got a job in Ruaka, where I stayed for almost a year, then I moved to Loresho for work,” he said.
One day, Robai was at the bank, struggling with how to deposit money, and that’s how she met her husband of 16 years, who was also a church elder.
“He looked young; I didn’t know he was married, but I moved into that house. Later, he told me he had a wife and grown children,” he said.
“In the first years of our marriage, we fought a lot, and things were not good even when his wife died. Funerals and funerals were very chaotic; I was accused of killing his wife, and his daughters came, and the youngest caused discord between us,” he added.
How did Robai make a living?
As a wife, Robai was struggling a lot, and this continued even during the disaster when her husband lost his job, and she had to give up everything.
During that time, their marriage faced turbulent periods with insecurity and fighting.
“We were fighting, and even the kids joined in. Sometimes, I stayed because I thought he would change, but we kept fighting, because he was still drinking, despite his status as a church elder,” he said on YouTube.
Her determination to be a good and supportive wife did not end there, as she helped him start building a house. When it came to the middle of the construction of the house, he left it to him to finish, and he did a good job of building a three-room house.
After the death of the first wife, her children left the house and their place was taken by her husband’s children, including a son and a daughter.
For Robai, the younger daughter gave her more trouble, and her husband never helped, always taking the side of his son.
At that time, there were two big fights, and they were so heated that people came out to see what was going on.
“My husband cooperated with him, and they started hiding food, asking, ‘Haven’t I been feeding them all the meals while your father drank his money?'”
Robai said. “One day his daughter started a big fight; they joined her brother and father to chase me. It all started when he started abusing me and insisting that I am not their mother. I had already started packing some of my things and hiding them,” he said.

How did Robai leave his marriage?
The sad thing is that Robai failed to take some of those things, as there was strict security in their possessions, and at some point, they were all taken to the chief.
“The next day, they started abusing me badly, and I wanted to take the microwave and dishes but I was refused. I only took the TV, because he sold two rooms and a table,” he said.
Apparently, Robai said that the man was only thinking about alcohol and was not development oriented.
“The end was when he drank all the money intended to send his daughter to university, and I knew mine had no hope except that which had been taken by Equity Wings to Fly,” he said.
“Marrying someone’s husband is a curse. I was getting a job, and it would just end. One of my children graduated, but the other one seems to be using drugs badly in Thika and is now in a bad company. I don’t know what they are using,” she said.
