Naphtali Ole Tipia experienced financial problems when his Tanzanian wife, Waryoba Amos Jackson, fell ill.

The beautiful woman fell ill in Kenya shortly after marrying her husband.

When did Naphtali return to Qatar?

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Naphtali said he returned to Qatar, where he had been working as a security guard since 2015.

“I left my wife and my sister, who works at Moi University. I knew my wife would be safe with her as her family was back Tanzania after our wedding. I remember sometime in 2019, when he was still working in Dar es Salaam, he lost weight. I thought it was because of his work. He quit that job and went to live with his mother, where he suddenly gained weight.

“When I left him with my sister in January 2023, he started getting sick again. He said he was feeling cold. He was taken to the district hospital, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia. He was treated, recovered, and returned home,” he narrated.

Naphtali, a father of one, said it did not take long before Waryoba fell ill again and was taken to a private hospital.

He was admitted immediately as his temperature was high. He was treated before being taken to a public hospital for admission.

“The doctor said there was a gland in his stomach that was producing too much fluid. He stayed in the hospital for a month and a few weeks while he received treatment and recovery. In the following weeks, his condition improved, and the possibility of surgery was ruled out.

“He returned home with his mother. His condition was improving, and he finally recovered completely. He even started going to church,” Naphtali said happily.

However, in April 2023, the condition recurred again, and this time, he did not recover.

When did his wife Naphtali die?

For luck Unfortunately, Naphtali's beautiful wife died in 2024 despite his efforts to find her medical treatment.

“I decided to resign immediately and was paid KSh 250,000. However, my friend to whom I loaned money deducted about KSh 90,000; the remaining money was used to pay some hospital bills and other expenses.

“Due to financial problems, I could not do the funeral in Kenya, but my in-laws asked me to do the funeral in Tanzania. It was a peaceful celebration, the church in Morogoro paid for the coffin, and my in-laws took care of the other expenses,” he remembered painfully.

He used part of the money to cover his wife's grave with concrete, which left him penniless and jobless.
