Tuesday, May 13, 2025 - As heavy rains pounded Nairobi on Monday, leaving parts of the Central Business District (CBD) submerged, a group of enterprising men found a unique way to turn the chaos into an income-generating opportunity - and Kenyans can’t stop talking about it.
With the city’s drainage systems once again overwhelmed,
major streets were rendered impassable.
But for a few trolley pushers in the CBD, this presented a
business chance they didn’t let go to waste.
In a clever twist, the men converted their trollies into
makeshift bridges, helping stranded pedestrians cross the murky waters - at a
fee.
Videos circulating online show the trolley-pushers
positioning their trollies over deep pools of rainwater and assisting people,
especially office workers, to cross without getting soaked.
Many willingly paid small amounts just to avoid wading
through the floods.
The footage has sparked mixed reactions online.
While many applauded the creativity and hustle - with
comments like “Nairobi ni akili, not muscle” - others
criticized Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja for the poor drainage
infrastructure and recurring flooding in the capital.
Watch the video.
