Robert Ngugi Speaks On Loss, Devastation After Losing 40-Year-Old Son To Alcohol Addiction

[@antonynkanata1834]

The voice and the tone registered a shattered and broken dad who did all 2 save his son from blushes but in vain. I salute u gentleman.

[@wambuialice957]

We know you did all Robert for your son. I pray for your healing. He was a good child and this happens even to the best of us. Take pride in the fact that you loved him regardless of his flaws

[@raelnzulu143]

Such a caring father, i wonder what some kids search for in life.

It's good to have someone to look up to coz you can only practise what you have been taught. You can reach out to him and ask him to mentor you. He looks like a good gentleman and would help

[@africanawang2674]

How do you know he isa good dad? Be content with life, what you can't have be that. Life is not fair. Be happy.

[@jubilitesconsultants6903]

I hope Mr Ndungu can become an anti-alcoholism ambassador and connect with such groups. He could save many young lives, and this new purpose may bring him healing.

[@christineotieno7880]

Alcohol is the only drug where those who do not partake are shamed for their choice. Sad, sad story.

[@bettynish6284]

Very true, when in the old days, alcohol was taken during ceremonies

Was the son 40 years, where does he say in the interview. Saa zingine editors wana mchezo.. a story is done, then you write something different. Hata kama kazi ni mingi, employ more people. Communicate facts, not editor errors

Love them the way they are. I agree

[@panafrican.nation]

What I really mourn, personally, is politics. Politics has come in between us such that it's very difficult for a substantial section of this country to connect and empathize. We're not a Kenyan family. We'd be far stronger if we were together. Unity _IS_ strength. A few people with aspirations of power and money have come in between us. I'll mourn this for a very long time

Thanks Mr.Ngugi for speaking out 👍 my question is which one between the two is dangerous:- 1- I drink too much/alcoholic,sometimes drink a whole bottle of whiskey almost daily but don’t get drank or rather it doesn’t show or no signs or symptoms of alcoholiciism….. perform my duties well ,do everything right… no one not even my wife knows am addicted,i do it hiding? 2- one is drank violent aggressive arrogant can’t even work/job staggering accidents etc…. job is only drinking and sleeping? 3- What advice can you give person/point one?I perform duties well when high than when not high?

Thanks for sharing. I am also going through the same and blaming myself for being a single mum. Mine is different. I personally was Raped and gave birth to a child with dissability. He is 20yrs and in college. My daughter was raped when she was 9yrs. She is 16yrs and in form four now. The problem started after she was raped and she became very violent. By then she was with my mum in the village. She would fight with anybody. I brought her to Nairobi and she continued fighting.

Nonsense Father who doesn’t know what’s happening and talking with lies coz they have never been there for their kids yet they enjoy with other women and that’s lack of support from the basics

It’s his 100percent we know our fathers they want respect and yet they don’t deserve it coz they think money solves everything and then they buy jobs for you and especially these fathers in civil government jobs their kid are damn cuz they are being taught with stolen public money and then their parents say it’s working hard together with the church so it’s nonsense to me

What do you mean when you say lies?? I wish you know Robert..he's a gentleman man to all and to his kids as far as I know, he's the best father a kid would like to have. Don't just talk anything .
