Edday Nderitu’s birthday message to her husband Samidoh has set social media buzzing, and it is not just the warm words that have people talking.
On Sunday, November 1, the mother of Samidoh’s children took to Facebook to mark his birthday with a deeply personal message, wishing him wisdom, peace, good health, and God’s favour in the year ahead.
But what caught fans’ attention most was how she addressed him: “Happy Birthday Mhesh.”
The term “Mhesh” is widely used in Kenya to refer to Members of Parliament and politicians in general, and its use by Edday has been widely interpreted as a public endorsement of the mugithi star’s reported political ambitions in Oljoro-orok, Nyandarua County.
How did Edday celebrate Samidoh’s birthday?
In her post, Edday wrote:
”Some connections are bigger than ourselves, and some roles remain meaningful regardless of where life takes us,” a line many followers read as an acknowledgement of the complicated journey the couple has shared in recent years amid very public personal drama.
She also wrote:
”May grace speak for you, may favor locate you, and may the years ahead bring you the kind of happiness that truly matters. You deserve beautiful things, today and always.”
Samidoh himself took to Facebook to mark the occasion separately, writing:
”The gift of life and good health is never something to take for granted. I am grateful to God for another year and for the blessing of having wonderful people around me. I have seen your wishes, read your messages, and felt the love.”
He then responded directly to Edday’s post, replying:
”Thank you soo much Njambi wa Mhesh,” a term of endearment that essentially translates to “wife of the MP,” further fuelling speculation about his political plans.
