“I asked her to go home around April 27 and stay there for a while as I hustle in Nairobi to get funds to build a home for us in the village. I even offered to start a business for her there, but it seems she had other plans,” he said.
The father of one claimed that his in-laws had already helped his wife obtain a passport, with plans for her to leave the country possibly by the end of May.
“She did not go to my village but went to her home in Kitale. My fear is that she is leaving the baby when he is still very young. She could at least stay until the child is two years old before leaving,” he added.
Why Nairobi man wants to quit his job
Raphael, visibly distressed, said all he wants is to raise his child and ensure the baby is not left solely in the care of relatives.

He admitted he has tried to convince his wife not to travel to Qatar, but says she appears to have already made up her mind.
“We are on good terms; we do not have any issues. I am stressed. Should I leave my hustle and stay home with the child? I even tried talking to her sisters, but it did not end well for me,” he said.
He also noted that his wife would be going to Oman to work as a domestic worker, something he says he has no issue with in principle.
What did Nairobi man’s wife say about going to Qatar?
Speaking to NGBREAKINGNEWS, the wife said the plan to travel to Qatar was not a surprise to her husband.
She explained that they had discussed it for some time and that he initially had no problem with her going.
“He did not have a problem initially until he saw that it was becoming serious and I had my passport ready. My plan is not to dump him, but I need to go and work so I can return better for him and our child,” she said.
