Residents of a quiet village in Western Kenya have been left in shock after a Luhya man allegedly lost his life moments after consuming a huge amount of ugali following heartbreaking rumours that his ex-girlfriend had gotten married. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.
According to reports circulating on social media, the emotional man was seen in a viral video seated inside a local food kiosk where he reportedly ordered several large servings of ugali and vegetables before finishing an estimated 6 kilograms alone.
Eyewitnesses claimed the man appeared deeply disturbed and emotionally broken during the incident. Some people who were present alleged that he kept repeating the words, “Sina umuhimu wa kuishi tena,” while continuing to eat nonstop as stunned customers watched in disbelief.
The now-viral clip has sparked massive reactions online, with many Kenyans expressing mixed feelings over the tragic and bizarre incident.
While some netizens sympathized with the man over heartbreak, others questioned why relationship issues continue pushing people into extreme emotional breakdowns.
A section of social media users also turned the incident into jokes, with many making humorous comments about the Luhya community’s well-known love for ugali and food in general.
One user commented:
“Heartbreak ni mbaya lakini 6 KG ya ugali nayo ni dangerous.”
Another wrote:
“Mapenzi si kitu ya kupea pressure hadi unakula ugali kama mashine.”
Others, however, urged young people to seek emotional support whenever facing relationship stress instead of harming themselves.
The authenticity of the viral video and claims surrounding the incident have not yet been independently verified, but the clip continues spreading widely across TikTok, Facebook, and WhatsApp groups.
The incident has once again sparked conversations online about heartbreak, emotional stress, and the extreme things some people do while struggling emotionally.
