nini

This is a wrong answer. Nini is an interrogative pronoun meaning "what." There are two ways to ask "Why?" The standard is kwa nini (literally, for what). Also commonly used is mbona, which means "why" but usually implies impatience or criticism: mbona umefanya hivi? means "why have you done this?" usually implying that you should not have done it or that the speaker is unhappy you did it.

ADDITIONS:

Mbona = lit. why

Kwa nini = loosely translates to "for what?"

Kwa sababu gani? = loosely translates to "for what reason?"
