A Kenyan man who worked in the United States as a caregiver and later on as an uber driver, has unveiled a magnificent mansion he built and hailed himself for having juggled between several jobs to earn an extra sliver of money.
The man who goes by the name bishop ngash said he went to the United States in 2016 and has stayed there for seven years having come back in Kenya in March of 2023.
Ngash, who proudly showcased a splendid two-story house featuring an open rooftop and small patches of flower gardens meticulously perched on an expansive cabro-paved balcony, emphasized that he completed the project in even less time than he resided in the US.
He attributed his success to his diligent work ethic and his ability to juggle multiple jobs simultaneously.
Ngash explained that constructing the house, which also boasts a tidy spiral staircase leading to its upper story, was far from easy. He added that he faced numerous financial commitments, including supporting a wife whom he married upon relocating to the US.
Ngash said he later went into trucking business after a hiatus in the uber business and opined that life in the US isnt as easy as people speculate back here in Kenya, because one has to juggle several jobs to become wealthy.
Ngash cautioned Kenyans earning around Ksh50,000 against aspiring to go abroad, emphasizing that the promised riches often don’t materialize. He stressed that the money overseas is meant for that context and would be spent there accordingly. “Ile pesa iko huko ni ya huko na utaitumia huko.”
He reminisced about a time when he sent a substantial amount of money back to Kenya to support his family, to the extent that he had little left for himself.
He remarked that the standard 8-hour workday mandated by the US government often falls short in providing for a comfortable lifestyle, prompting many individuals to seek additional hours and income.
However, he acknowledged that while balancing multiple jobs can bring in extra income, it also carries the consequence of deteriorating health and exhaustion, potentially leading to decreased performance in subsequent roles and impacting one’s overall career trajectory.
For example, he recounted an incident where he collided with another vehicle after dozing off while waiting in traffic. This blemish on his driving record was permanently logged in his license and significantly impacted his professional reputation. Prospective employers were hesitant to hire him upon discovering such a mark on his record.
He urged Kenyans to exercise patience with relatives residing in America who may not be sending money back home, emphasizing that their situation might not be as straightforward as it appears.
