'Never call me 'mum!' Those were the words of my mother after she found a new husband! 

Wanja's story is really a shocking one. To imagine that she was put through that torture by her own mother, is so heartbreaking. May this story reach all the women who abandon their children in the name of a new found love, marriage. May we learn, that trying to keep the so called marriage at the expense of our children's well being, is like chasing the wind! Do you really think that man will love you and trust you if you have abandoned your very own blood? This kind of selfishness displayed by some women must be discouraged at all means. You brought a child to this world, take care of them. We applaud Wanja for her boldness...for speaking on behalf of thousands of children, who face rejection by the very same parents who bore them. And if we were such mothers and fathers...may we find the courage to sincerely reach out to our children and sincerely apologise to them...just before our time on earth is up!

And Wanja is such a beautiful girl.

Wanja is but an angel. She is brilliant and such good story teller.May God enlarge her territory every single day. Mothers! can we be more loving? even unto others kids...

The sighs are so heavy 😢may she find complete healing ❤

The mother was punishing her because of her father who is divorced,she needs to heal.

I can understand and relate to this. One day, I will be strong enough and bond enough to share my story. Be strong. You are not alone

Woi pole wanja this is so sad. Anytime I listen to this stories I thank my mom who adopted took care of me with love she never mistreated and after 30 yrs I got my biological family but still mama mlezi aliendelea kunipenda

Crying as I listen to this coz this is the story of my life. I went through it in the hands of my real aunt though its my mum who had taken me there coz she got married. 😢😢😢😢. I thank God for the neighbours who came to my rescue. To my shock instead of living with my mum, she enrolled me to a boarding school in class 3. That is another story all together. Weeee am a parent now but I can never trust any one I mean any one with my children. So in short my kids don't visit relatives without me. They don't go for sleep overs

I have also listened to Wanja, and one can tell she’s still hurting. I have never understood this animosity from her mother. Can you imagine Wanja is the one who ended up helping her out of her poverty

The pain of this story is not even about not going to school or even the labour she did,its about who made her go all through that......her own mother. Hugs wanja❤❤

Am at a loss for words. I dont think i ever heard anything like this in my entire life. Wanja is loved of God and will do her good

Toxic parents are real! I'm so sorry wanja for what you went through, and for being snatched your justice and freedom of childhood. You are so beautiful dear. Please adjust your crown and walk with your shoulders and head high like the queen you are!

This was soo my mum but guess what out of 8kids ni mimi nimemjengea na pia am the bread winner of that family right now,yaani my mum si alinitesa weeh hadi pads ananunulia hao wengine plus panties na mimi sinunuliwi😢used to have one panty imeisha hadi bladder nafunga knots sides na sides,yaani hadi nikaanza kupata chawa😢😢😢nilikuwa nikilate kutoka shule nakuja nampata ameniwait na kuni ananichapa akiniita malaya😢😢😢na saa hizo shule yetu teacher alikuwa anaextend lessons hadi 7pm jioni,but mungu ni nani as we speak alifanya njia niko usa saa hii enjoying life

I can never choose anyone over my baby. I better stay single forever. So sorry wanja, You are destined to Greatness girl.

Am looking at my 8 year old and it's difficult to just imagine how heartless,evil and satanic that so called mother would subject such a child to such slavery, Sending hugs 💕🤗 Wanja. I hope and pray karma catches up with her, Shame on her😠😡

Very emotional, can’t imagine a mum can do this to a child. It’s well Wanja, you have at least spoken, believe that is a step to healing ❤

I will be civil Gathoni, but with all honesty that mother has to be the most wicked mother I have heard of this far. She is incomprehensible

I thank God for Children Department offices and VCOs, Chiefs n all Administration offices who we collaborated with in Ruiru subcounty, Kiambu County in rescuing such cases, we did many of them

Am Wanja too and have been through so much during childhood,am a single mum of four and nobody can make me pin down my kids

It's okay to cry and the more you talk you will heal

This mother should pay for this. It is not late. Even the Meru father should be punished for abetting crime to Wanja.

This is a sad story. I love you Wanja. You are so beautiful

I have listened wanja since she started sharing this sad story but I will say she is a blessed lady.... God bless you Wanja

Hi Monica, This is a sad but powerful story; full of hope, forgiveness, respect, and unconditional love. You conducted the show with a lot of grace and fortitude. Thanks for a job well done, and kudos to Wanja for her genuine love for her mother and her forgiving spirit. To me, she's a living Saint.

May God bless you wanja... You are one of the strongest few i know... Weremirie mahuru no magogo.?.. You are a she-hero...

The love i have for my kids,i wouldn't even comprehend. I thank God for strengthening you gal. One day i will

From the way she sighs, you can tell she is carrying a heavy load on her chest. May Almighty God grant you his love 💘

The pain kept crawling in whenever Kagoni asked the following: - "7yrs/10yrs..." - "Your own mother..." I really wish she'd listened without those piercing remarks. Really sorry for the broken heart at such a tender age. But am glad that with the opening remarks Wanja gave, it shows she gave the broken pieces to God for healing.

I love this girl❤ i cried through her interview some years back. She has a great heart, she is beautiful and she has a wonderful voice.

Leave alone a Mother, even the devil cannot treat any child like that.

What a sad story. She is very innocent though she went through much pain caused by her own mother.

Litsening to this girl gives me alot of strength to move on. My own mum referred to me as 'huyu ni mtoto wa sister yangu alikufa hua namsaidia' to date the word mum cannot come out of my mouth. How someone will choose marriage over their kids is something i will never understand.

The second time am listening to her story and it still hurts to the core, toxic parents are real in many households and it is still like a taboo to even come out. One day i will have the courage to speak, been through hell and came out!

This is so traumatized I'm a parent of three girls and Wanja my namesake has gone through hell, and I wonder if her mum had a sober mind? My girls my whole world. Pole Wanja cry as much as you can to heal yourself

I listened to her story some years back. I think we need to interview some of these women who hate their children. For me, I think they have mental problems.

Wanja, you are not shedding tears alone. Anyone watching this is crying with you. There's a true God in heaven, that's why you survived all this.

The marriage the mother wanted to save it broke anyway. Truth wins be truthful from the beginning. Wanja u Are a beautiful woman. Heal in Jesus Name.

I love my mom, she walked out of her abusive marriage in 1995 and made a decision to raise her six children on her own, she told me she knew no man would marry her with us and she was not willing to leave us behind

If people can speak from deep in their heart, many have gone through hell in our parents hands.

I treasure my grandmother allot she's my everything to

This is unbelievably insane. My own flesh and blood, really 😢😢. My children came first even before their dad, who had been gone for the last 23 years. They're all grown in their mid thirty's and still comes first.

Woii Wanja, I have no words to tell you, but I glorify God that you still grew up despite the hardship. God bless you

I have seen God in her story, because despite the hard life she went through, God never left her, He saved her🙏Hugs wanja🤗You are glowing, You are blessed.

Woooiyi.. it's unbelievable 😮I am great full to my mom she raised us single she didn't choose any man over us despite of the challenges of life😢

I have never understood why a parent would choose getting married over a child. Children need to be protected by adults some of the things adults are dealing with are scars they got during their childhood. I'm so sorry wanja,you seem to be a very humble lady may God heal all these scars.

Your own biological mother becomes your worst nightmare, her ex husband who's not related to you in any way becomes your savior. Kweli dunia Ina mambo

This is so sad ...can't hold my tears 😢😢...my auntie did the same to me ...

Don't dear, you were not alone. You're such an angel.

Her sighing is saying a lot! She has not yet healed. Her mother is a narcissist. She destroyed her daughter's childhood.

I doubt whether that was her real mum, worse than a step mum, she was a monster,Wanja ni kuri Ngai matuiini.

What a beautiful lady you are Nancy ❤. Remembering every bit of her painful childhood but see God's protection all through. All glory and honour to God.

I can't wait for part 2 of this painful story,Wanja is a beauty ❤

When I listen to some stories i realized how well my parents raised me.... pole sana Nancy

Monica you are a true ambassador.keep the good work ,I will look for you when next time ,I have a story.

she's is so geniun she reminds me of my past my mother was like that

Some stories make me appreciate my parents and God for gifting me with such parents,thank you lord and wanja you're a star keep shining girl

Heading to her channel as I wait for part two. She is one of Gods jewels, it is not for nothing what she went through, God has always had good plans for her❤

Woi God please keep me abit longer for the sake of my blood kids and many others I could see them suffer, I will shout out. To wanja God enlarge your heart for your love n humility. To Kagoni Asante for hosting her to talk her heart out. Much love

Her mother is toxic. May Wanja find peace in her heart. It's not easy and I pray for her.

It's very painful to grow up knowing your mom doesn't love you

All single mothers should listen carefully for this lady because even now their are small girls who their moms value wanaume kuliko watoto wao.Then mwishowe watoto wao wana go through hell.

Very painful! She's a pretty girl.

One day i will be strong enough to tell my story too.

I watched her in ruth wamuyu channel speaking fluent English and she never entered secondary school even ruth was shocked,i think it's all people with destiny undergo through problems,she has beautiful songs and a Voice

After listening to wanja stories, i shead tears. I go through same situation,

Aria maugaga ruo rutiguanagirwo ndaigua ruo ruingi mùno mami wanyu 😢😢

I doubt how she say that she has forgiven her? Too painful

Wah! Wanja is a strong lady I'm in tears. May God help her and bless her

This is so painful Spirit of rejection 😮but her mother will pay.

Some people do not deserve the gift of motherhood. Many women are pray day and night for children then there's this one who takes her own through hell

This story is so so so so very sad!!! For such a young beautiful girl Wanja. May the Lord heal all your wounds. You are strong even holding the tears i could not do that if i was the one narrating. And you still have the courage to smile. May the Lord repay you all the years the locust stole from you and for all your suffering and pain, may you receive a double portion of joy and gladness, in Jesus mighty name. Amen!

😢😢😢😢monica tuko wengi wale tumepitishiwa hii life na mamazetu ni venye tu tumeinyamazia kwa roho 😢😢😢..ilibidi mi na sisters zangu tushindwe kuvumilia tukapoteanga at the age of 10yrs tukaajiriwa maid's 😢😢😢

This story is so hard to hear…. Very sad. The mother must have a lot of trauma which she also passed on to her daughter. God bless Wanja as talking about will be part of her healing.❤

Ngai Baba yaani nafikiria yule msichana wangu mkubwa 10yrs. 😭😭😭😭 Wanja be strong. I know why you cry even as old as you are. Somethings we can forgive but can't forget. May you find healing in Jesus Mighty Name 🙏🏾

Am so saddened by this story. I truly can’t comprehend how a mother can do this to their own child. How??. Wanja am so very sorry this happened to you. Hugs

So sorry, l have listened to her story in other channels,, so sympathetic,, Wanja take ❤️❤️

No child deserve to be treated this way no matter the owner of the child. This is too bad wanja mother deserve to face the law for mistreating a young child.

I have heard step mothers mistreating children. I can’t imagine this mother mistreating her own biological child.

Aki pole wanja It's okay to cry and tell your story. You will heal out of it. Mothers !mother's ! What so much of value that that you call your blood? Your own child? Why treat your baby in search a way?

Shame on that woman May she never have peace till she die.

God thank you for taking care of this girl

She's so beautiful...What a sad experience...Me im trying to put myself in her shoes but its impossible 😢

Aki listened to her story long time aki ilifanya nikalia sana wanja God is always faithful ❤❤

Those who were raised by loving n caring parents.....we should be thankful to God n to them....People out here have gone thru alot....

Ohhh My 😢😢😢... So how is she going to recover frm childhood trauma😢😢..only God can heal her.

This is soo hurting, pole sana anne . Soo sad and i can say all people who took her as a house help were the same breed as her mum. Shame on them and may they have their consequences!

Nancy, I am very sorry about your experience with your mom. You are very strong, what could have killed you only made you strong and that's why you are sharing your experience. I have no words for your mom. No words.

I feel her.....hugs girl.......this lowers your self esteem so much that you can't even trust yourself......so because of this it results to people taking advantage of you bacause of your silence woi.....sooo bad...

Uyu akiritwo ni hiti,tondu hiti ona ingoroku ndiri yaria mwana.wanja God was with you all along and that's why you're there today.

I am horrified to say the least! Wanja may God heal your wounds and make your life beautiful. I hope you mother will see this interview and see the pain she caused you.

I can not choose man over my child never ever

So heartbreaking 💔😭. I wish you a long and fulfilling life dear.

OMG i can't believe this ,how can i treat someone's child with care and love then hate my own fresh and blood .. I guess the woman was not normal at all

Very touching 😢😮 Parents..family and friends can disapoint you. Only God is the true ❤️ LOVE ❤️

This is very emotional but God protected Wanja. I feel like there should be a part two of this

😢😢she just remanded me of my child hood pains😭

This is annoying .😢 All these people, her mum, the husband, the families she was working for the hotel owners .... None had any humanity in them 😢 Ngai baba .

Nii maundu daigua nginya damaka.I only feel pain.She never enjoyed her childhood at all haki Ngai wa thayu akulocate mwana witu

It's sad I feel tears.

Can Kagoni follow up to see to it that this evil “mother” is put in prison for the rest of her pitiful life?
