Mother-in-law was one of Kenya's most popular television shows. The program produced some of the country's top athletes. Ninja was one such show-produced actor. He portrayed a nosy watchman. While he is no longer an actor, Kenyans will remember him for his outstanding performance on the show.

Lydia, one of his sisters, appeared on Tahidi High and danced in a video by popular boy band Sauti Sol.
Acting
From a young age, the popular actor had a passion for acting. Even as a child, he used to perform in church, and his love of the arts never faded. He subsequently went into theatre and appeared in several plays until earning a role in Mother-in-law.
In Mother-in-law, Ninja performed the lowly position of a watchman. While some may consider it a tiny role, he accepted it and performed admirably. He claimed in real life that he couldn't even be a watchman to save his life.
He stated in a 2016 interview that he would like to live abroad for a while. He encourages young people that acting requires discipline since it is not simple.
Ninja has always been interested in mentoring young people. He has inspired wannabe actors in a variety of fields and institutions.
