Nairobi-based gospel and patriotic music artist Justus Ngemu, signed under Ngemu Gospel Sounds and honoured as a Shujaa by the President of Kenya, has released a powerful new song titled “KIJANA SOMA”, officially out since 6th February 2026.
The song carries a strong social message, urging parents and guardians to take their children’s education and talent seriously, without discrimination based on gender. Through heartfelt lyrics and a relatable storyline, Justus Ngemu addresses the deep-rooted issues of favouritism, injustice, and cultural inequality that continue to affect many families across society.
“KIJANA SOMA” speaks directly to parents who prioritise some children over others when it comes to school opportunities, creative talent, and personal growth. In many homes, boys are still favoured over girls, or one child is supported while others are neglected. This unfair treatment often leads to emotional wounds, bitterness, family conflicts, and even separation within families.
The song also reflects how these injustices affect the future of families. Many young people who grow up feeling neglected end up distancing themselves from their parents after completing their education, leading to broken family bonds and unresolved pain. Over time, this creates generational resentment and weakens family unity in the wider community.
Beyond the family unit, the message extends to society at large. When children are denied equal opportunities, communities lose potential leaders, innovators, and creatives. Talent goes untapped, dreams are crushed early, and inequality continues to grow. “KIJANA SOMA” encourages parents to nurture both education and talent — academic, artistic, creative, and vocational — as a way of building stronger families and a healthier society.
Ngemu is widely being honoured for his impactful spiritual musical compositions such as “Kilio kwa Mungu,” which reflect deep faith and strong social consciousness. Beyond music, he is also known as a bold advocate for artists’ rights, challenging unfair practices by major copyright organisations in Kenya. His continued pursuit of fairness and his stand against exploitation in the music industry have helped empower a new generation of artists, contributing to the growth and strengthening of Kenya’s creative economy.
Through his gospel and patriotic music, Justus Ngemu continues to use his platform to promote justice, unity, accountability, and national values. “KIJANA SOMA” is not just a song, but a call to action for families to reflect, change harmful traditions, and raise children with fairness, dignity, and equal opportunity.
