Top radio wueen Njambi Koikai was on Tuesday, February 9, admitted to hospital following an an acute case of pneumothorax.
Njambi also known as ‘Fire Mummah’ for her love of reggae took to her social media pages to break the sad news to her fans.
She posted: “This was one of the toughest days I ever had to work… I
was battling a serious case of pneumothorax (partial collapse of my
right lung)… I couldn’t breathe throughout this show and was admitted
for surgery and at the same time my grandma fell ill and was diagnosed
with pancreatic cancer… It happened again. I’m in for surgery on the
same right lung
The former Metro and Venus FM radio host says she is responding well to treatment three days after she was admitted to hospital.
“So after three days I can sit up and move slowly around my room. It
is extremely painful as I have a tube inserted into my lungs then to a
bottle that restricts my movement. Jana (Wednesday) was really painful… I
cried… I wailed and if you reminded me of my strength I’d look at you
in disbelief.
“There’s a painkiller called pethidine… It is lethal… They gave me
that jana and I knew I was gone. Throughout the surgery I kept screaming
and wailing that God is with me and I have purpose to fulfill His
mission and vision. Take a minute to thank God for good health. That’s
all that matters!”
Her grandmother who is battling pancreatic cancer will be flown to
India for treatment. She is seeking help from welshers and you can

“My grandma is holding firm even though we chose not to tell her of
my sickness this time round due to her illness. Just thank God for your
life…all these things we are chasing are nothing when you are confined
to a hospital bed. You cannot feed yourself…they have to sponge bath
you… literally change your sleeping positions…do not complain…see me?”
