Kenyan Watchman Shocks Village After Buying 3 Cars in One Week, Says Poverty Is Now Afraid of Him After Winning KSh 7 Million on Aviator. Any Advice for Him?
I never thought I would live to tell this story, but what I witnessed in our village still feels like a dream. I have lived in Kachieng’ all my life, and nothing ever changes here. People wake up early, struggle the whole day, and go to sleep tired and hopeless. That was our normal life. Until one morning, when everything changed. I remember hearing loud engines cutting through the quiet village road.
At first, I thought it was a funeral convoy or government vehicles that had lost their way. But when I stepped outside, I nearly dropped my cup of tea. Three clean, expensive cars were slowly driving into the village, raising dust and shock in equal measure. Children screamed with excitement, women froze where they stood, and men walked closer in disbelief. None of us was ready for what we were about to see.
When the cars stopped, a man stepped out calmly, dressed simply but confidently. It took a few seconds before recognition hit us like thunder. It was Otieno, the same man who used to work as a night watchman at the hardware shop near the market. The same man who walked long distances every evening with a torch and a whistle. The same man people laughed at, ignored, and sometimes mocked behind his back.
Many of us could not believe our eyes. This was the man we used to see eating dry ugali alone, the man people said would die poor. Yet there he was, standing beside three cars like someone from a different world.
