Young Man Touches Kenyans With Heartbreaking Narration Of Comrades Sleeping Hungry: "Painful"

• A spoken word artiste did a piece on the challenges university students from humble backgrounds go through
• Kelvin Ng'ang'a had tears in his eyes as he narrated how some comrades sleep without eating, saying degrees had become useless
• Numerous Kenyans admitted that they faced hard times while in campus, as other offered to help him

A young man has released a heartfelt spoken word piece highlighting university students’ challenges.

How did comrade touch Kenyans' hearts?

Kelvin Ng'ang'a cried as he narrated how they sometimes slept hungry.

“God of all campuses and universities, don’t allow first-year students to go through what we went through. You call home to ask for KSh 50 from your mother because you slept hungry, but she tells you they have not eaten.

Your younger brother is sick, and they borrowed medicine from the neighbour. These are tears of joy," he said ironically.

He then spoke of finishing campus and returning home to do odd jobs with his mother.

"Our degrees have become useless. They ask why we have rugged hair, but how can I shave when I don’t have money for food?"

He contrasted it with children from wealthy families, assured of jobs after finishing campus.

“I am sure a parent has borrowed KSh 300 so their kid could apply for HELB. They will not get it because their parents are not well connected.”

The artiste said he was ready to give out his degree for free because he had no use for it. Many Kenyans recalled their hard times while in the university:

flaqo411:

“I relate. Campus days were dark and painful. Worst days of my life.”

kenthaichi:

“If he's for real, can someone tell him to have his mum reach out to me? I want to help her.”

2mbili:

“I remember I joined stand-up comedy while on campus because there was no one to give me pocket money. I went hungry several times.”

kanyee:

“Being a comrade is hard- eating ugali and water or supper.”

How Eric Omondi made Kenyans emotional

In other news, Eric Omondi recently rallied Kenyans to raise funds for the treatment of a child with cancerous growth.

However, one-month-old Baby Pyden Mudoga sadly passed away before he could get specialised treatment.

The comedian shared a video carrying the small casket from the morgue for the burial, with the clip breaking the hearts of many.
