My own mother forced me to call her "big sister" so she could keep a man | Mtumba man's untold story

Imagine your own mother telling you the only way you can live in her house is by calling her "big sister" or "aunt" to prevent your stepfather from knowing you are her firstborn son.
Or having people see you in the media and think you are loaded but you know deep down you are famous and broke?
To many people he is known as Mtumba Man or you can easily relate with him using the phrase, "Ngara Mpaka waseme uko na mubaba", but what is Steve Opondo's real story?
Here is Lynn Ngugi with today's episode of Tales of Wanjiku
