A Nairobi woman has sparked massive reactions online after openly revealing in a viral video that she is planning to start selling ‘mechi’ in order to earn a living and provide for her family. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.
In the emotional video that has been circulating widely on social media, the woman is heard explaining that life has become extremely difficult and she has been pushed into making the painful decision because she currently has no stable source of income.
According to the woman, her own children are the ones who encouraged her to do whatever possible so that they can survive and avoid sleeping hungry.
She claimed that constant financial struggles, unpaid bills, and lack of support forced her to consider the controversial move.
“Watoto ndio wameniambia nifanye hivyo ili nipate pesa,” she painfully stated during the video.
The clip has since attracted thousands of reactions from Kenyans online, with many expressing sympathy towards her situation while others criticized the state of unemployment and rising cost of living in the country.
Some social media users urged well-wishers to support the woman financially instead of judging her, while others advised her to search for alternative ways of earning money before making such a life-changing decision.
Others, however, argued that many people are currently going through tough economic situations and are being forced to make desperate choices just to survive.
The viral video continues to trend across different social media platforms as Kenyans continue debating the challenges many struggling families are facing in the current economy.
