“Would you ever go back to being a nurse?”Ofweneke asked

“It wasn’t easy getting my degree. But I got it. I worked at Kenyatta for about one and a half years.

“Nursing is not just a job it’s a calling.” the father of two shared.

Baptism by fire

You enter your first year and immediately, you are thrown into the deep end.

2012 was his first year. Time flew, people came and went, but he stayed the course.

“There are moments that stay with you forever. The maternity ward, for example. The most memorable moments are always the complicated cases.”

“When a woman came in with a breech pregnancy, when we had to act fast, when we had to trust our skills and instincts.”

He paused, recalling the rush of adrenaline, the weight of responsibility.

“Sometimes, a woman would come to the clinic without proper documentation, thinking everything was fine.

Then, at the last minute, complications would arise. The baby would be in distress, and we’d have to rush her to surgery.

And when everything turned out well,when the mother saw her child for the first time,those were the moments that made it all worth it.”

He leaned back, reminiscing. “Then there were surprises. A woman comes in, thinking she’s carrying one child. Turns out, it’s twins. The joy, the disbelief on her face—it’s something you don’t forget.”

As he spoke, his past and present intertwined. From the hospital to the stage, from radio booths to comedy clubs, his journey had been anything but linear.

Sharing his story, one thing was clear—his journey is far from over.
