A young man from Kisumu has left residents in disbelief after he reportedly hired a whole 51-seater bus just to travel alone to Nairobi. The incident, which took place earlier this week, quickly became the talk of the town as locals tried to make sense of the unusual display of extravagance.
According to witnesses, the man walked into a local bus company, paid for the entire vehicle, and instructed the driver to transport only him to Nairobi. The bus, which could carry more than 50 passengers, made the long journey with just one occupant seated comfortably inside.
Sources claim the man recently sold a piece of land in Nyakach for an undisclosed amount, sparking curiosity about his sudden wealth. Many residents believe the unexpected windfall might have motivated his lavish decision, while others saw it as an attempt to experience luxury in his own unique way.
The spectacle attracted mixed reactions. Some locals admired his boldness and freedom to spend his money as he wished, noting that life is meant to be enjoyed. Others were more critical, arguing that such behavior is wasteful and could lead to financial regrets once the excitement of the land sale fades.
Whether driven by celebration, impulse, or a desire to make a statement, the young man’s solo bus ride has become a viral topic both in Kisumu and online. For now, his journey stands as one of the most dramatic displays of newfound wealth witnessed in the region in recent times.
