Why Nameless & Wahu's Daughter Tumiso Wants to Work with Animals

Nameless and Wahu’s firstborn daughter, Tumiso Mathenge recently during a Quickfire session, offered a candid glimpse into her personal life and future aspirations.

The two had a candid sit-down during the launch of Dairyland’s new drinking chocolate event where Tumiso, who is 18 and "turning 19", discussed a range of topics, including her career interests, academic preferences, and personal background, providing insights into her developing identity.

Tumiso, whose real name is Tumiso but is affectionately known by her nickname Tumi, revealed her strong affinity for animals. This passion significantly shapes her professional aspirations for the future.

Despite not yet having her first formal job, she articulated a clear desire to work in roles related to animal welfare, specifically stating her wish to be employed in either KSPCA.

“I love animals. My pet died of the dog. I want to work in either KSPCA or the Animal orphanage,” she affirmed.

This indicates a commitment to the protection and care of animals. Her deep connection to animals was underscored by the personal disclosure that her pet dog had passed away, a loss she mentioned when affirming her love for creatures. 

From an academic standpoint, Tumiso identified Psychology as her favorite subject during her school years. As she considers her post-secondary education, she admitted that she is still contemplating her major in college or university.

However, she mentioned that Business Marketing is one of the courses she is giving serious consideration to pursue, showing a pragmatic approach to her educational journey, balancing her interests with potential career pathways.

Sharing details about her upbringing, Tumiso confirmed that she grew up in Nairobi, the bustling capital city of Kenya.

When prompted about her sporting preferences, particularly football, Tumiso offered a diplomatic and somewhat humorous response regarding her team loyalties. She initially stated, "I used to support Man U, but gosh. Guys, I don't know what to say. I don't want to piss off anyone".

After a brief pause, she reiterated her support, concluding, "But for now, just for buyer sake, I'll say Man U", indicating her allegiance to Manchester United. Beyond these specific areas, Tumiso also shared other personal insights, painting a fuller picture of her life. She stands "6 foot" tall, confirming she is taller than her mother but not her father.

Her last Google search was "probably something random that I saw" for which she was "looking for the meaning of it", and she humorously admitted to lying about this detail earlier in the interview.

Her most frequently used emoji is the "crying emoji". When it comes to food, "chips" are her undisputed favorite meal, while "matumbo or like the liver" are her least liked, a preference she noted "is going to piss up a lot of people". Tumiso also revealed her proficiency in cooking "Potatoes or pasta". Her daily routine includes watching "Tik Toks" both as the last activity before sleep and the first upon waking.

The passing of her grandfather was highlighted as the death that "hit her the hardest".
