Renowned media celebrity and Reggae queen Mary Njambi Koikai alias Fyah Mummah Jahmby Koikai is dead.

Confirming the sad news, Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba, Njambi succumbed to illness while undergoing treatment at Nairobi Hospital on Monday night, June 3, 2024.

This comes days after the Reggae queen took to social media to appeal for blood donations from her fans, updating that she had been admitted to the Pioneer Ward at Nairobi Hospital.

“Hi fam, I am currently admitted at Pioneer Ward Nairobi Hospital and I kindly require blood O positive. Kindly asking for a blood donor for Mary Njambi Koikai,” she had shared.

Over the years, Fyah Mummah has been vocal about her fight with Endometriosis, revealing how the ailment had affected her crucial body organs, including the heart, lungs, spine, and appendix.

Unfortunately for her, it took 17 years to be diagnosed with the life-threatening disease.

“The extent of the disease had spread to my teeth, heart, and appendix and affected my spine, causing my organs to shift to the left. The adverse effects of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis cause infertility,” she said.

“The damage caused due to late diagnosis and lack of treatment in our country it took me 17 years to get a diagnosis. After fundraising for specialized treatment."

Njambi was in and out of hospital, experiencing some of her worst days during her menstrual periods. 

 “In my case, that lining grew on my lungs, causing my lungs to collapse every month and countless surgeries. We shed the lining of the uterus during our monthly periods; unfortunately, with Endometriosis, that lining grows on other parts of the body,” she had intimated.

On May 20, 2024, Njambi made a heartfelt appeal to President William Ruto before his state visit to the US. She asked the head of state to leverage the opportunity and seek partnerships that would help address the issues faced by women suffering from Endometriosis.

"This is a sincere and heartfelt call of help to a few Kenyan leaders but allow me to address this to President William Ruto first as he makes his state visit to the US. Mr. President, one of the thematic areas in your visit is investment in health,"she said.

"Atlanta, Georgia is a dream city for every young girl and woman who has ever battled this horrific disease called Endometriosis. Therein lies a centre dedicated to restoring the lives of young girls and women who are crippled by this disease.

"It would be a game-changer for the Kenyan delegation to visit the Center For Endometriosis Care in Atlanta, Georgia. Send our gynaecologists, pulmonologists, neurologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and cardiologists for further training or fellowships," Njambi pleaded.
