Has Isaac Otesa acquired a new house?
Ever since securing an ambassadorial role with car dealership Car Soko, Otesa has experienced a significant transformation in his fortunes.
Otesa’s journey has been far from easy. He previously worked as a boda boda rider in Bungoma but moved to Nairobi to better his life.
His lookalike, Bradley Marongo, had gained massive online recognition during the Gen Z-led anti-government protests, which inadvertently brought attention to Otesa as well due to similarities in their appearances.
Despite this newfound visibility, life in the city was challenging.
He lamented that he was struggling to afford food and lacked a stable place to live, often relying on the kindness of friends and well-wishers to get by.
His breakthrough came when he partnered with Car Soko, a move that significantly improved his financial stability.
In his latest achievement, Otesa shared that he has finally secured a new home, courtesy of Car Soko.
In a video posted on the car dealer's social media platforms, Otesa was seen lying on a queen-size bed, obviously due to his towering height.
The footage showcased a well-lit room with a closet in the background, signalling a fresh start for the former boda boda rider.
It also revealed a cosy sitting room with a simple yet stylish couch, a flat-screen television, a spacious kitchen fitted with a four-burner stove, and a well-equipped bathroom.
Expressing his gratitude, Otesa recalled how he struggled previously, saying:
"I have really struggled, but at least I can now sleep well now. Nashukuru Mungu na kampuni ya car soko I was really struggling and they have put me in a very good place now. Now I have a place where I can call home when I get back from work."
Car Soko celebrated the milestone, captioning the video:
"We did that thing. Goliath wa Bungoma got a new house. We now understand even the smallest act of kindness can bring the light of hope into someone’s life. Enjoy your new house Otesa, more blessings are coming.
"We're so glad to do business with Bungoma Goliath. He is learning every day. His life has changed forever. We will even fly him to Dubai," Car Soko CEO Felix Limo shared with TUKO.co.ke.
