Edday Nderitu, the estranged wife of Mugithi phenomenon Samuel Muchoki, often known as Samidoh, has been in the United States for four months.

And now that the dust has settled, a new chapter in her life has begun.

Edday has found her footing in the United States, getting a job and working hard to provide for her family, Nairobi News can exclusively report.

In May 2023, the mother of three departed Kenya, ostensibly for a vacation in the United States, where Samidoh's cousin, Bernice Saroni, lovingly entertained her.

Edday, according to a trusted family member, is doing well and has even begun working.

"Edday is doing well. In fact, she is already working. She moved into her own house… That is her house, and the children are in school," the source who requested anonymity told Waza News.

This disclosure follows Edday's recent social media post in which she published a selfie of herself seated on a sofa with automobile keys beside her.

A devastating Bible verse accompanied the image: "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter." The enormous army has been dispatched among you. Joel 2:25."

Edday's journey to empowerment in her newfound life in the United States has received enormous support from close friends in Kenya and overseas, who have stood by her side silently while she navigates this new chapter.



Her divorce from her 15-year marriage with Samidoh was announced earlier this year, with his adultery cited as the reason.

Samidoh's relationship with Senator Karen Nyamu, with whom he has two children, fueled the marital fire.

Edday had stated unequivocally that she could not endure a polygamous marriage, prompting her to divorce the Kikuyu singer.

Rumors have circulated that Edday and one of her fans may have met on a recent trip to Boston.

"I shed happy tears seeing her back on her feet." Edday is driving a car in a strange country. She is paying off her auto debt, her new house mortgage, and feeding her children... Her children are even covered by health insurance, according to the source.
