Popular content creator Llewellyn Ouya has set social media ablaze with his no-nonsense advice about living within your means. In a candid post, he called out the common practice of young Kenyans stressing themselves out financially just to have a good time.
“Kama hauna pesa kaa nyumbani! Wacha kupigwa na baridi hapo nje ati uko sherehe na unateseka,” he wrote, urging people to avoid unnecessary struggles. Llewellyn paints a vivid picture of five grown men huddling to discuss Chinese mathematics just to gather enough money for a mzinga, or the cramped Subaru Impreza road trips with nine people squeezed in.
He didn’t stop there. Llewellyn criticized the glorification of poverty and suffering for the sake of appearing trendy. “Build yourself to a point where you can have some fun without stressing yourself out,” he advised, emphasizing the importance of self-love and financial stability.
Llewellyn also pointed out the irony of people flaunting their nightlife on social media, only to beg for job recommendations from relatives on Monday. His message is clear: “Kua serious na life.”
With his post, Llewellyn has sparked a much-needed conversation about prioritizing personal growth and financial responsibility over fleeting moments of fun. His advice is resonating with many, pushing young Kenyans to rethink their lifestyle choices.
