Kenyan Man Who Worked as a Pilot in the US for 15 Years Becomes a Garbage Collector [VIDEO]

a Private Pilot in +1 then Kenya to get a Ka loan ys 5k..hii Maisha ya majuu connecting the dots sio rahisi. Sir they say the sky is the limit yr dreams are valid.

Is there a reason his career pursuit was more important than welfare of children and wife?
He should be calling the children to apologize for he's absence. There is no reason he chose to run off!

We all have flaws as human beings but it is saddening, sometimes even tragic, for someone to scale the heights as this hardworking gentleman did & then come down with a thud. He’s like many today who work the daily grind just to pay bills without thinking where they are heading in terms of the future. And not to disparage American spouses, especially for those who marry American women, fact is that the average American knows nothing about the poverty & destitution you left behind in Kenya and which propels you to work like crazy, ukichapa ma-doubles so that you never go back to that poverty again. American women won’t stomach your absence of 16-18 hrs a day eti unachapa madoubles....heck, even some of our own women won’t take it. You better be very careful when it comes to women & your ambitions in life for they can either make or break them. It also pays to put a thought or two about where you wanna be in 5, 10 or 20 years, come up with goals & strategies to get there even as life remains unpredictable. And that’s where a plan B comes in but I doubt this gentleman had garbage collection as his fall back plan. Work hard, work smart, think about tomorrow, plan for it & leave rest to God and all will be well.

I should add that this guy is an example of someone who works very hard (very admirable)and is willing to do anything to succeed (willing to collect garbage after life in the US). While I don't know his specific situation that found him in this predicament, I can see his transition to being a pilot in Kenya should have been better planned. The good thing is that it seems that if he gets his hours, his license will be not issue.

Kuteleza sio kuanguka. You still have your health intact. That said you have to do good by your children or karma will catch up with you.

maybe he is ok doing what he is doing, what is the difference of what he is doing and changing diapers than most of us are doing or working with manokis,,, working excessively hard does not mean anything, being happy with what you are doing is more important.. hii dunia is not all about work work work... other things like family matter too, now he is close to his family and friends.. bibi mzungu you know how they are

My takeaway and admiration for this man, he is not giving up , we all fall and rise , some fall two , three times whether in Majuu, Papua New Guinea. Good luck to him and hope he realizes his dream. Also, I hope he reconnects with the children, they are now old enough to make their own decision on knowing their papa, he may inspire them ( Obama anyone).

Wanaomjua mkristo Ruto wamwambie juu ya huyu ndugu yetu anayetafuta njia ya kuyarekebisha maisha yake halafu badala ya kuwatupia mafisi viongozi wa makanisa pesa, amsaidie huyu ndugu yetu Mwawato

I wonder what's wrong with being a garbage collector. There are multimillionaires garbage collectors. Besides somebody has to do it and they don't have to fail in life to do it. People are talking as if being a garbage collector is failing in life. Life is not about what you do, but rather how you do it and how satisfied you with what you do. I think we Kenyans tend to have poverty mentality and that affects our thinking about career. That's why kids in school are running away from noble careers like teaching to study engineering and the likes. That's why no Kenyan high school student with straight A would venture into becoming a primary school teacher. The same mentality is the reason why many in India aspire to be doctors and engineers. No wonder US is full with H1B visa Software Engineers from India. I'm not against any of these careers, my point is that, one can choose to be a garbage collector and live a full-fledged life doing it. On the same note, one can become a doctor, a pilot or an engineer, but still live a pathetic life full or sorrow and disappointments. The only sad thing about this story is the fact that the guy left his kids and hasn't talked with them ever since.

Kazi ni kazi its all about you n how u invest yr time n how happy ur.As maumau quoted many africans r house maids or babysitters yaani they work in nursing homes or manoki changing diapers,cooking,cleaning nahizo nikazi na housemaids hapa home but aslong as ur smart enough u eat 7 invest 3 for yr future u should b good n yr future will b bright.But after 15 years in majuu atleast u should have invested a little bit hapa home ndio usipatwe na shida mingi hivyo.Just my take.

A job is a job. Just work hard and smart at it. Remember to save as much money as you can. I have learnt not to laugh at other peoples life unless they are politicians. Good luck man. Try and reconnect with your children. It is very important.

Kazi ni kazi, as long as he is not stealing from anyone like our leaders are stealing from us, let him work. Great ethics he has about work. To feed you, your family, and also meet your other needs. These other things of he was doing this , now doing that is just HOT AIR.

This is your story and we cannot rewrite it no matter how wise or rich our experiences are. Pray good health and a sound mind to continually reflect on your skills, lessons, hidden talent and potential and you will soon merge onto the highway of life. Consider this as only having taken the wrong exit and a few calibrations will take you back on track. Notably, life is not a straight line and a bend on the road is not a dead end or end of the road. Use what you have NOW (read as No Other Way) including garbage collection opportunity,life is much much broader, deep and enriching than our current dreams, desires and aspirations. Do not limit your life to one dream; embrace all dreams and opportunities and soon you will be on the other end smiling. Actually your earlier dream of flying may look like child's play and planes may be among the many toys you may own in your new future. They say the rear mirror is useful occasionally; but you cannot drive forward when your eyes are constantly focused on the rear mirror. Thanks for the courage to highlight some of the challenges many face albeit in silence.

This story is a scam flying as pilot in the USA and going back to kenya to ask for a loan of 500,000.kwani he dint know the conversion cost in kenya?

You mean he just packed and left, didn't do research on how things go, didn't have any money saved? This story has too many loopholes but either way I wish you all the best my brother.
