Baba yake Aliuza Ng’ombe Mbili to pay University fee, But he dropped out after three months, Sai analipa Babake 80,000 kwa mwezi after doing this
James Wekesa’s father sold two cows the day the university admission letter arrived. It was the proudest moment in three generations of Wekesas. Three months later, James dropped out. His father did not speak to him for eleven months. Then the M-Pesa notifications started — and everything changed forever.
The village of Malava in Kakamega County is quiet and proud. It is the kind of place where a son going to university is celebrated with food, prayer, and neighbours arriving to shake hands for days. James Wekesa had been that son — the one the whole village talked about, the boy who got the letter, whose father had done the unimaginable to make it happen.

When James came home at the end of first semester and quietly told his father he wasn’t returning to campus, the silence that followed lasted longer than any argument would have. His father — a man of deep pride and measured words — said nothing. He walked to the small farm at the back of their compound and did not return until evening. Hakuzungumza na James kwa miezi kumi na moja.
Baba aliuza ng’ombe wawili kwa ajili yangu. I remembered that every night I stayed up building websites until 3am. It was both my motivation — and my shame — at the same time.— James Wekesa, Kakamega / Nairobi. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD FULL WORDPRESS WEB DEVELOPMENT COURSE.
Why He Left Campus — Na Alichogundua
James had discovered WordPress during first semester. A classmate showed him a YouTube tutorial as a joke: “look at this guy making money from websites.” James watched it three times before bed. By the end of the week, he had built a test site. By the end of the month, he had charged a lecturer’s wife KSh 8,000 for a basic portfolio site. By the end of semester, he knew with certainty that the degree he was pursuing — a Bachelor of Commerce — was not going to teach him anything as valuable as what he was already teaching himself.
“Haikuwa uamuzi rahisi,” he says, sitting in his Westlands apartment. “It was the hardest thing I had ever done. Lakini nilijua ndani yangu — I had seen the path. Na path ile haikupita kwa chuo.” He takes a long breath. “Lakini kumwambia baba — hiyo ilikuwa ngumu zaidi ya uamuzi wenyewe.” CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD FULL WORDPRESS WEB DEVELOPMENT COURSE
“Alipoona ofisi yangu kwa mara ya kwanza,” James says, his voice quieter, “alisimama mlangoni kwa sekunde nyingi. He looked at my desk, my monitors, my chair. Then he said: ‘Wewe ulifanya vizuri.'” James pauses. “Hiyo ilikuwa zaidi ya shahada yoyote, zaidi ya cheti chochote, kwangu.”
My father sold cows for my future. He was absolutely right to. Alikosea tu kitu kimoja — he didn’t know the future he was paying for was WordPress, not a lecture hall. Both of us are okay with that now.— James Wekesa
The Business Today — Biashara Yake Sasa Hivi

Plus three to four new project clients monthly at an average of KSh 65,000 per project. Total monthly income: KSh 220,000–KSh 290,000. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD FULL WORDPRESS WEB DEVELOPMENT COURSE.
He sends his father KSh 80,000 every month without fail. His father has used the savings to buy two new cows — different ones, James is quick to note. “Ng’ombe wapya,” he says with a wide smile. “Nadhani circle imekamilika vizuri sana.”
