Celebrated Kenyan gospel songbird Emmy Kosgei has revealed the reason why she fell in love with and married an older Nigerian man.

Speaking to Talk Central Kosgei said that the love of her life, the Nigerian General Overseer of the Revival Assembly Church, Anselm Madubuko, was her ultimate choice after years of disappointment and hurt.

Kosgei stated that that it took a three month back and forth between her and Madubuko on marriage because she did not want to go through it again.

The singer that their love life is exciting and that both their families are appreciative of their bond and relationship.

“When God has preordained something he gives the ease, it’s how I look back today I have grown so much today, I have grown spiritually, the stability and how I am today is not how I was many years ago, If I was married to somebody I would be stuck in a village somewhere taking care of some people, stuck somewhere…” said Kosgei.

Kosgei added that even if she was to divorce, she would not marry a younger man due to the level she is in at the moment. She noted that

“No way (I can’t marry a younger man if I divorce). They come with their own problems and where I have gone now (high) is a big gap ooh…My husband has got me, he loves me,” added Kosgei.

On how Madubuko’s church received the news, she said that some of the single ladies were disappointed and left.

 “You know women, pastor wenu akiwa single, they have their eyes fixed on him, sema tu Jambo. One Sunday he just announced to the congregation that all of you are my spiritual children, I cannot pick from my flock it is wrong. I am going very far for a girl in Kenya..But the people are there now, some of them have come back, they realized I am just a simple girl.." She added
