Okay, now what is the question? Okay, why you guys first of all, why you guys okay? Well honestly we at some times last year we were not okay but that knows my story to tell. But right now we are good, we are cold friends, we pray together, we love together and we work together. So how are you able to maintain these friendships? What boundaries do you set? How do you go about it? Like for me and Diana we are equally yoked right now. Diana gave her life to Christ earlier than me then I followed. And knowing Christ has really changed our way of friendship and our way of relationship because it is so different from then. So it is easier now because we are brought together by the love of God first and then there is us. So we try in as much as we have our rough rides or hard times but we remember that you know what God is at the center of this. What's up everybody? Welcome to SPM Bars.

You know it's good to ask these things. Umeyanzana dipsi, umengia dipsi. How is it? How is it because we've seen a couple of months. You've been going through something. How is your mental health right now? Well, thank you for asking that question. Siwatwingo nolizanga uswali. What I can say I'm in a better place right now. Mentally. I have I have fought to stand. I have really fought to be okay. And actually right now I can see that I'm in a better place. And I am standing. You're standing here. That is good to hear. Guys, in case you didn't know, Naomi lost her dad just a few months ago. But we are going to be talking about that a bit later. So Naomi, I'm also very interested to know. How did you know you can actually do comedy and actually just entertain people? Is there someone that told you you can? Let's go do it, Ama. How did you know? Well, people thought I'm funny. Like my family, my mum. And every time I was around people, they could laugh. And most of the time, I noticed that I don't know how to check her. But whenever I'm around people, it was a fun moment. But now growing up, coming in kind of high school, I realized. It was really not my thing. And I knew and embraced that. I really embraced that. It's okay, I'm in school. But whatever reason I'm here, I work. And I remember I had the most amazing time in high school because that's when I realized that I am funny and I can actually make people laugh. So you are the type who is into comedy. So you are the type who is into more of the extracurriculum activities than the curriculum itself? Yes, exactly. Anything to do with no books. Anything to do with no books. It was really exciting for me. And that is how I came to realize that maybe it's a talent or it's something that God has given me to maybe bring joy to people. And now when I was in school, it really came out. It came out sana and I was like, wait, let me do this thing. Was asiwa kwa sasa walichkuliaji because now you see back in the days most parents would be like, you, you're joking. Una chezea vitabu tumelipa skulfiz how did your parents take it? My transition to comedy was not instant. It was a gradual journey. Niko employed. Still when I was employed, I did my first video which went viral kabisa. So it was slowly, slowly and all of a sudden I slided into comedy. But my parents generally really enjoyed me being into this industry and they really enjoyed my art. Actually my mum is my fan. Even my dad before my dad went to heaven. He really used to enjoy my videos because he used to watch some of them to record na wach na e. And I was like, son, next time do this. Next time do this. And also I have created a lot of content with my siblings, my brother and my sister. They really enjoy. At some point, nikuwa niyambia. Na watu na niliza, sana mauna tikuwa video. You have to do one with you. So I think my family members are my biggest fans and I really appreciate them. That's beautiful. I mean, just having the support of family honestly it is everything because it keeps you going. Hey, atami mi nilisha wuliza kama tutafanya video so wait for that video. Wait for that video. Now I read somewhere that DJ Shiti actually helped you open up your YouTube account. Is that true? Yes, that is true. That is true. When I was so green like, okay, nilima liza college, then kind of attachment county assembly moranga. Then from that, from the attachment till it last for three months, I came back to Nairobi and I was like, honestly, mi msa kikuwa nikuwa kazi. But sayi beggas are not choosers. I can't really choose what to do. So I started watching DJ Shiti. Nilikuwa fanoa DJ Shiti pa le TRHK sana and I was recapping every video, every episode, every episode and I was like, I think I can do this and I think this guy can help me. I don't know why it was him and it was nothing more than just what he was doing. So I tried nikuwa tafta nambayake akini li tafta nambayake like sana and I started reaching out to him akashikasimu maraya kwanza nikuwa mambiya huayam and all that. Then for the next like two months he never received my call ali kwa nakata like, ya, like I remember one day nili sema, bide I'm done. I'm not going to call him again. So nikuwa sema, well, I'm done with the jishiti but I'm not done with what I feel inside of me. So one day I was employed somewhere around Kasarani and I created this video illa time, bibiya ndu li kuwa ina ku introduce to the country. So I created I created a video around that and I was like, I think this video is funny. So ni taifanya jimi mi, I don't know, si juyata, si kuwa na juyata ku post Facebook, si kuwa na jua anything. So I don't know I don't know what is it, I don't know what is it I have to do but let me try and reach out to some people when yon na juo wako kwa bibi industry mumsim when yon akona know how. So I reach out to people when no one really helps me. So juo ni kabisa ni kianda homu kwa zileza. Tatu na tumiu di jishiti. Just anyway, nisi sema si kumtumia. And apparently when I sent him the videos like, oh my God, who is this lady? I mean, I've been talking to you. What do you mean with this lady? Aka ni encourage sana he took the video so positively aka share, aka ni ambia. Before I share kwa sabubu watu wengiu sana wa takam kuchu kwae video make sure you create YouTube channel, create and also your Instagram, Instagram sorry, Instagram yon ku li kwa na zile nambas mingu kumusho kama zaidi. So aka nambia edit your Instagram post to picture ni watu agiki kutag watu on an active page. For sure. So that's what I did and that's how I started that's how namiku ria literally started. Oh, nice. I mean, guys, talk of resilience. Imagine if you just now decided, you know ego is gonna take your best part naata hautam tumia. That would have been messed up for sure. It could have been like, I don't think ni yekwa apa kusabubu. I feel like that was the little opening that was supposed to crack na ni ngiliye and I remember working with DJ Chitilini for so much patience because the first time I met him that was nilitulisha nilisha na yo video 2019 September. 2020 when I was corona ni kamili ni? 2020. Yes, 2020 around May, May do i liyan. Yeah. March. March I think 11th. So I quit my job at 2020. So I remember DJ Chitilini kama nambia so I think I have any type of job ni kamili fanya kazi na where would you I think you have try to establish myself. Let me tell you so DJ Chitilini kama nambia come we meet in town to tapatana kesho tapatana kesho sana ne na umi na miyayangu kumfuku ni kawga ni kaenda di town sigibali nizaenda. So sinime fika town saha saba actually so ni kampigia, ni kampia ni ko town na ni mekitia pahakives. Mezo so is darawum na mekitia pahakives. So DJ Chitilini kama nambia ni kumakidogo ni konakuru but I'm coming in Nairobi right now. So you ko pahakives auna pesengine mele nyumau? So iso ni akuru di home. So DJ Chitilini cut the long story short DJ Chitilini kujasa saba dosiku. So where were you all this time? Daki mimi bede munguana nipenda. I roamed li kakakives until he later yungi lamutua ka left sa chukuranda wakanza pungia ni kona I'm not safe ni kengia kwa hoteli I was not buying anything hoteli ikafungua ni kenda kwa club I was not drinking ni kafukuza my phone was almost going off I mean it which was really a crazy night but the good thing I met him. So now what did you guys talk, didi apologize you know how was the situation now just meeting him after all that waiting? Honestly I already I knew for a fact what kind of a person I'm meeting by the fact that he kept waiting all that time and sikuwata na sueta So nili nda palia li ni ambia ni kwa mbe jusumi yungi na zima ni ambia tu pali ndaka in case ni kwa umteja yungi ni ambia namba pletia gariako I just see you coming in so ni kwa nda palia nishon center and I remember suja mojak ni pea kitia po and I was like oh my god what am I even doing So the good thing ali trust hudi aki akani patia because he realized that oh Mr. na mengoja sana So ali kam na ni kibig fish that night so I was like ah ok nili kwa ni misha boeka but nili kwa ni boeka sana na kwa zana kumbuka nili miya nili kwa ni kunya chahi pahali it got so cold nili kunya chahi nili kwa nili kwa chahi nili kwa nili kwa chahi nili 60 hey wait what nili kwa sasa 60 bob soka bakina 40 bob bakina 40 bob so they drove me home later later they drove me home yeah have I seen a video with you and Didi Shiti have you guys ever shot a video together collabo no no no how come you've never been interested I have definitely I have but it has just never happened oh really but how is your relationship with him right now our relationship is honestly on and off because why now it's on and off but I really wanna do it because Didi Shiti ali kam zisha dad among the wasani when Nyanajua Didi Shiti showed up with Niki Big Fish and Nastara and Abbas and I really honor you guys for showing up when I really needed you most and I think the tough times it is as you introduce friends to you and I feel like Didi Shiti as much as we are really not consistent since we parted ways he is a friend indeed and a friend in need wow that was quite a story I mean as you can see guys sometimes you just see the final product of what has been worked on with struggles with challenges and clearly this is evident so where you've gotten congratulations man it's quite a big deal now what is your best collaboration so far I know you've done so many amazing ones zingine nashina now me how did you convince this one but how which is your favorite collaboration oh that would be hard to say kusababu every basitatu every collaboration I do every person I approach for collaboration these are people that have been looking forward to work with them and they are people that I really love what they do from their end so I I can say okay wacha nisi kupe yo uchagwem too ni ambie which was one that you didn't really know it could happen ulukuatuna try your luck which is that one bien I remember me DM'ing bien and I was just like kaiwui yata niko shukona DM 1 million you probably won't see my ya ni kum DM too ni kajintroduz to kikama bien my name is so and so ni ni ni ni and guess what bien alikwa zile hey I'm your fan I'm like bien are you kidding me and the fact that alikwa so open for me going to the studio sole generation ni kampia idea yangu and he's so easy to work with ya so I think that one was so unbelievable for me ya I mean trust bien to be easy he's always easy ya so let's get into you know I've actually also read something else that someone had told you oh you're not a good actress you can't act how was that moment for you and were you already you know this famous person and how did you take it yes of course of course fame attracted all these people good people even haters and all that ya and the good thing ni atii I have not made myself like sija chawa to and introduced to me I never allow people to introduce naumi to naumi I know who I am I know what I can do I know what I cannot do and I can tell you right now I'm in a better space when it comes to criticism positive and negative criticism and I think I think I I know what to take and what not to take ya okay I mean that's really important to know now let's talk about you know this heart breaking moment that you've heard of losing your dad and I we're not really gonna get into details but I want you to encourage someone who is probably going through grief because you know it's something that we all get to experience in life how have you dealt with it is it people that you've been talking to is it therapy is it how have you been dealing with grief because maybe someone is going through the same thing ya I mean first of all I'm really sorry for everyone going through grief everyone like if you're somewhere and you have lost someone I'm so sorry it is really hard because how Nanga how Nanga yo manualati isi kutaluz this person and how how I have dealt with grief I mean grief is different and grief is so confused from from how I know it right now but I I have heard a therapist from I work with this the therapist farm who has helped me really to accept and walk through this journey but what I know what I can tell people is that life is not fair but God is fair just know that life goes on life really will always go on even when you have lost even yourself the sun will not the sun will always rise so just know that you have to keep on moving you really have to keep on moving and understand that you have to give yourself time give yourself time to grieve give yourself time to cry give yourself time to feel the pain and when the time is right you will just wake up and move so basically what you mean to say is time heals time really heals I was thinking the other day remembering my dad I was going through a tough time and I was like now I was squeezing I was going through a tough time I was going through a tough time I was going through a tough time I was telling myself this is not how I was in November when he died on November every memory of my dad could come with pain so much pain but right now it is coming with acceptance like wow thank God that this happened between me and him thank God that maybe he is resting right now so yeah I that's what I can say and that's good progress I mean I'm glad that you can actually just talk about it because I mean it gets better for sure it does I hope it really does not necessarily not really just probably extended family and sometimes I really can tell how much it affects so I can only imagine how big that is I don't even know how I would take it to be honest I don't know I mean be sure you don't know death is death in a huangama rambili when it is in your neighbor it is really not death but when it is in your home then you know what it is I'm really glad you can just talk about it and just encourage someone out there so guys just feel encouraged if you're going through this because it gets better like she says with Taimia so let's talk about taking your mum her first flight that was beautiful how did you go about it and how was the experience especially for her and also for you wow so uleona uleona I saw your mum's first flight that was so beautiful because I think it is everyone's dream to just you know put their parents have a best life that they didn't really get to have when you know they were younger I remember when my dad was alive he kept on telling mum it never happened so I remember when we lost dad I felt so much obliged to do the things that my dad could have wanted to do for mum and that was one of them so in collaboration with bonfire adventures they gave me and my mama a very very memorable trip to mombasa and mama mama was excited mama was so happy kwa zi ushago mama ushago me kwa deep state I can imagine ushago mama kwa deep state she's so excited about that and I can't wait to create many many more memories with her when you have your parents when they live you start understanding I think time is so important to even create to share memories with them that's beautiful at least you know it's a blessing when you get to bless your parents it is really good is there something that you're planning to do just probably to honor your dad wow that's a good question I cannot say that it's really something I'm planning to do to honor him I just know that the only way to honor my dad is to leave as he could have wanted me like before my dad died he introduced me to salvation and I think me working in this way of salvation is ultimate honor to my dad and also to God and to myself so I think the things that he could love me do are the things that I can do to honor him amazing it's so about your salvation and you've been updating us on it how is it taking you? amazing I love Jesus it's amazing because a lot really changed in me and I am here to stay we can't wait to see the progress and the blessings it comes with as well now before we started the interview we were having a conversation about marriages and I was asking do you actually just believe that marriage is something that is wakapo two strangers come in meet up and just live in harmony because we are seeing so many breakups especially in the showbiz industry how do you view marriage? marriage is beautiful I'm not married yet but I know marriage is beautiful the idea of marriage came from God I remember the Bible says that a man will leave his house and a woman will leave his mother and father and come together to create a union which is called marriage but now marriage has changed and taking it for what it is not but what I know is that marriage really works and I can't wait to actually get married because you see whatever comes from God can only be sustained by God so you cannot take something that you cannot try to sustain marriage any other knowledge which is not from God that's where we go wrong whatever comes from the dog go to the dogs, whatever comes from God is sustained by God so I feel like that is only manual to have a great marriage but also it takes two to tango so it means if you are looking for a partner is being born again something that is very crucial for you Yes, definitely I'm not even I'm so sure and direct about this that I can, the Bible say do not be equally yoked with non-believers I am a believer and the only way I can the only way I can have a partner is by being equally yoked we are walking the same journey of salvation and how do I know that I mean, I know what I know very insightful, do you guys believe you know Naomi's sentiments in regards to marriage make sure you leave a comment down below tell us what do you think now as we wind up Naomi please tell us what are we expecting from you is it more collaborations is there another thing that you are trying to launch what are we expecting definitely more collaborations are coming also I have been thinking about myself and my future and there is so much that is going on in my head one thing I know for sure is that maybe comedy will not be my future will not be part of my future because I am thinking about more and better sustainable ways of of of what a sustainable way of my provision and you know and I don't think comedy is one of them I really do comedy for for passion for passion ya but in one way or another it has become it has given me a daily bread but I I don't want to talk more about that right now but definitely something is cooking in my head and definitely it's going to come to life but I'm sure I'm not living social media but maybe in future I'll use social media as my platform to share the good news guys that is an exclusive in case you didn't know and I mean so does it mean that you feel like you know yes it's bringing you something on your table today but it's not really sustainable when it comes to financial or rather monetary value one reason one reason is that yes the other reason is that being born again helped me discover my purpose and and I really want to use this platform to glorify God so so much and to leave the purpose that God created me for and and I am not really sure that we will not come with comedy because people know I bring people together by comedy so I I will use this channel to fulfill me and to fulfill what God has called me for okay now as we wind up I almost forgot this because I saw fans speculating some time back that you and Daisy Gau you are no longer friends and people are saying what happened to them we saw that you guys took did a collab together so it means that that relationship is still okay how are you able to maintain these female friendships because you know what you wanna say Mangae we are our own enemies but how are you able to maintain these friendships sure okay now what is the question okay why you guys first of all why you guys okay well honestly we at some times last year we were not okay but that knows my story to tell but right now we are we are good we are cool friends we pray together we love together and we we work together so how are you able to maintain these friendships what boundaries do you set how do you go about it like for me and Diana we we are we are equally yoked right now Diana gave her life to Christ earlier than me then I followed and knowing Christ has really changed our way of friendship and our way of relationship because it is so different it is so different from then so it is easier now because we are brought together by the love of God first and then there is us so we try inasmuch as we have our rough rough rides our hard times but we remember that you know what God is at the center of this and inasmuch as we are friends doing comedy together we are here to glorify God through friendship amazing now please tell your fans something as we wind up well something in white talk to them talk to them so guys thank you for this opportunity thank you for listening up to this point because kama me fika apani kumanisha you are here to stay one thing I would love to tell you is that Jesus is coming and the bible says in the book of John 3.6 that for God so love the world He will not perish but have everlasting life it is not a cliche to do this but Jesus saved me there is a video I have done with Diana at her page Diana Daisy and I was talking about who we were at the past and what got changed so just believe in Jesus and give your life to Him it is the best decision you'll ever make and if you really need help to walk your salvation journey you can always talk to me if you have questions about christianity and faith come to me let us worship God together so that we will not miss heaven alright guys you have heard it from now on buzz with stars I hope you have been inspired I hope you have learnt something if you
