Graduate Smokie Vendor Speaks After Uproar Over Ksh1 Million Appeal

Graduate Smokie Vendor Speaks After Uproar Over Appeal for Support to Pursue Catering Diploma

by Ndungu Chiuri
September 7, 2023

A collage photo of Masao's trolley in Nairobi CBD and a photo of the smokie vendor during his graduation in July 2023.

FacebookTwitterLinkedInRedditWhatsApp

A viral smokie vendor identifying himself as Masao with username @Gesonso 1 on X has sparked an online debate. 

After graduating from the Africa Nazarene University with Bachelor of Commerce degree, accounting option, Masao resorted to selling boiled eggs- among other street foods in Nairobi to make ends meet. 

Masao shot to the limelight after photos of his street food business better known as “Smokie Pasua” or “Mayai Pasua” surfaced on X. 

The photos opened a phase of abrupt fame and publicity which has since transformed his business at a stunning rate.

In a show of comradeship, Kenyans on Twitter- which is a community of influential and active X users, turned up in great numbers to promote his hustle.

How KOX made smokie vendor 

Different users flocked to his spot situated adjacent to Archives in Nairobi Central Business District in what turned to be a trend of buying Masao’s smokies and posting photos on the X timeline. 

Speaking exclusively to The Kenya Times, Masao confirmed that his daily sales have increased significantly since earning the publicity on X. 

From one user to another, members of the KOX community dropped by his site and at times in groups to savor the street delicacies together. 

With the photos shared online came compliments and words of encouragement coming from X users who were out to motivate one of their own who had shown determination to beat the challenge of unemployment. 

However, things took a sudden turn on September 4 when Masao appealed to the online community to help him raise Ksh 1 million fees to pursue a Culinary Diploma course.

Users on X expressed their rage and disapproval of the idea, with a number of them floating ideas on how best Masao could use the overnight publicity to grow as an entrepreneur. 

Judging from the reactions, the idea of raising a sum of Ksh 1 million to help a hustler pursue his dream course was not well received. 

Masao Side of the Story

However, Masao is adamant that he had a point and deserved to be heard out. In an interview, the now popular smokie vendor says that he began cooking at an early age and hence developed a passion for catering. 

According to him, a Culinary Diploma is likely to transition him to a career in catering not only in Kenya but abroad. 

When asked about his insistence for a college that is offering the course for a sum way higher than some local institutions, Masao asserts that credentials from a recognized international institution would increase his chances of landing a job abroad. 

“First Boma is an international college, chances of graduating and finding a job outside the country are high unlike enrolling in a Local training college,” he asserts.

Family 

In addition, Masao mentions his family as one of the reasons he would like to succeed in his ambition.

While making it clear that his family has always managed to solve problems, the now-popular vendor expressed his desire to help his family in the future.

His dream to enroll for the course remains valid, according to him, despite the uncertainties over how to raise school fees.

To the users trolling him for his stance and dreams, Masao has one message to part with; that “God will make a way for all of us”. 

“Kenyans who are trolling my dream I may tell them nobody knows what tomorrow holds. We are all on the same journey,” he stated.
