He bluntly told me they could not play any vernacular music. He said that he thought Kalenjins were only good at athletics and wondered why I was singing. I asked him to listen to my music before making a judgment, but he refused. From that day, I decided never to approach the media to play my songs,&#8221; Emmy narrated.<\/p>\n<h5>Kibaki&#8217;s help<\/h5>\n<p>Emmy attributes her breakthrough to retired president Mwai Kibaki. The singer reveals that Kibaki encouraged her to sell her CDs at State House when she was invited there after a thrilling performance at\u00a0the promulgation of the constitution at Uhuru Park.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was never that connected. I just got a call from State House in 2010. It was like a dream. Watching everyone dancing and screaming to my music was encouraging. Lucy Kibaki was dancing to my music. We were then invited to the State House garden party, where Kibaki encouraged me to sell my CDs at the dais. From that day, my career rose to a new level. I started getting phone calls from embassies and other state function. It\u2019s been a blessed journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5>Life in Nigeria<\/h5>\n<figure id=\"attachment_79039\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79039\" style=\"width: 667px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/emily.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-79039\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/emily.jpg\" alt=\"Emmy Kosgei with her Nigerian husband apostle\u00a0Anselm Madubuko \" width=\"667\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/emily.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/emily-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/emily-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/emily-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/emily-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-79039\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emmy Kosgei with her Nigerian husband apostle\u00a0Anselm Madubuko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Emmy also opened up about her life in marriage.
