Renowned city lawyer Steve Ogolla has posted before and after pictures of his current village home. The two are a stark contrast and go ahead to show how far he has come.
“Gift of Grace”
The first image shows two adjacent grass-thatched roofed mud-made houses, with a bushy and dull background.
The after pictures show stunning images of modern houses with a beige and maroon colour scheme, and parking and security lights next to each other.
The compound also had luxurious cars parked beside each other, a manicured lawn, and a perimeter wall.
The lawyer confirmed that he built four homes for his siblings to live in uniformity. He and his then-wife Cebbie shared one, which his wife furnished because she wanted to help.
Netizen Reactions
The post which has since gone viral had mixed reactions from Kenyans who were wowed by the unfolding transformation and congratulated him.
“I had lost hope but after seeing this am re-energized… your home’s past picture is my current one, may that grace locate me… sometimes society may not understand…. poverty is bad especially when the only thing you can inherit from your parents is their name and good heart😭”- Mike Songi
“Hapo annex tukiwa library I used to tell you kijana tusome. Now see. Evidence Kwa kalatas. Education is indeed the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance wheel of the social machinery.”- Magua Kiboi
“Umbali umetoka. Now get yourself a calm woman and enjoy life.”- Lynn Africana
“I tap into this kind of Grace. Grace coupled with favor.”- Gettie Olingo
Luck With Women
Ogolla was married to businesswoman and social media personality, Cebbie Nyasego, in December 2022.
Demonstrating his affection, Steve gifted her a sleek white Toyota Land Cruiser, plus numerous cows for her bride price.
The couple, who broke the internet with their glamorous wedding, have now gone their separate ways.
Cebbie, who is Akothee‘s sister, deleted their wedding photos less than a year later fuelling rumors of a breakup. The two seemed to have moved on separately and quietly, without addressing the speculations.
Ogolla is now linked to other women including Morine Anyango, a well-known fashion stylist and influencer, who was Cebbies close friend. Some have pointed fingers at a powerful female UDA politician. He has denied the allegations.
Back in the day, the lawyer was catfished by one ‘Dorcas Sarkozy’ who was his online date, and swindled Kshs 500, 000 in what seemed like a ponzi scheme that targeted political heavyweights.
