There’s No Small Money And Big Money, Reveals Tahidi High’s Mama Jimmy

Former Tahidi High actress Wambui Njoroge commonly known as Mama Jimmy revealed that there is no difference between small and big money.

Her sentiments seem to paint a clear picture on one’s discipline in handling money and not what one earns.

“Hakuna pesa kidogo na hakuna pesa nyingi so ni wee mwenyewe ujimanage, pesa yako ukipata kidogo, kula kidogo nyingine weka” Stated the actress.

She further disclosed that acting is a paying venture and for one to see its fruits you have to keep off bad company.

“One day my fellow artist aliniambia.. Yaani si twende nikununulie mbili baridi, nikamwambia ‘ati baridi ehe, nami nikamwambia i don’t know how to act mtu akiwa high,sasa mimi naenda kupikia watoto wangu nkiwa high how?” quipped Mama Jimmy.
