I’m Daniel Otieno, and I used to think loyalty was something you build by giving it freely first. I grew up in Kisumu, right by the peaceful shores of Lake Victoria, in a tight-knit community where everybody knew each other’s business.
My mom hustled selling fresh fish at Kibuye Market, and my dad always drilled into me that a man’s word should carry more weight than any contract. When I packed up and headed to Nairobi, those values stuck with me. I poured everything into my work, trusted people wholeheartedly, and let folks into my life thinking they’d have my back.
That’s how I started my little logistics business—from scratch, with just dreams and a borrowed motorbike. Nairobi’s chaos excited me: the noise, the rush, the opportunities. I crashed in a cramped bedsitter in South B, up at the crack of dawn, zipping through traffic to deliver packages. Bringing in my cousin Mark felt like a godsend. Adding my old pal Brian made us tougher. And when Lydia, this sharp and ambitious woman, stepped up to handle clients, it all clicked. We got a modest office in Westlands, vowed unbreakable loyalty over affordable sodas and grilled meat, celebrating like we’d hit the jackpot. https://drbokko.com/?p=35387
