Engage Nine With Martin Oduor-Otieno

Martin Oduor Otieno walked us through the journey of his life from children, education to a stellar career in both public and private sector. His dreams, the obstacles, the glass ceiling, a very public dismissal, working and seeing your dreams come true. We Fall. We Rise. We Soar

Here after seeing this video on Twitter. For young people who have seen how integrity hardly gets rewarded in this country, this is quite the needed talk. Thank you!

[@nqatha2229]

True. A true story on how God rewards integrity. It all goes well in the long run and being old with no regrets becomes a great bonus to enjoy

[@tonymareku4771]

Wow! Great wisdom there! Thank you sir for being so real

[@MohammedKinyua]

I can't believe this was done in 2016 n I'm here in 2022 watching it getting inspired like he's talking to me Thanks you sir

[@coosolutech]

A story of sheer hard work and grit. I can fully relate to this, having come to Nairobi only for the second time when I was reporting to the University of Nairobi, with my father who hardly knew Nairobi as well, crisscrossing the roads of Nairobi, with my suitcase on his right hand. That was 13 years ago in 2009. It is amazing the dreams we carry with us from the small villages upcountry to this big city of Nairobi, and work hard towards them, without knowing anyone high in the ranks. For sure, there is a God in heaven who watches over us, and I bet He smiles when he sees just how we have risen from walking to school barefoot in the village to scaling the heights in major cities across the world. Kudos to everyone on this path!

It was a joy working with you Dr Martin Oduor. The lasting legacy left at KCB: Integrity & Ethics at a time when the Bank was dancing around transparency indices for the wrong reasons. Be blessed.

[@davidmativo9946]

This was gold. A great platform to get inspired by real people (not the wash wash and 'ni Mungu tu' gang) through their struggles and victories. Well done Engage Team.

Those who are not born in Nairobi make it big in Nairobi,they come with big dreams to break the glass ceiling.This is a story of hard work,success and blessings from Heavenly Father.

[@franciskioko2206]

So Great

[@kenmaina2008]

I have always admired this man. I have followed his career and progression and until I had a chance to interact with him, did I realise that his soft mien wasn't aloofness and he is actually a very humble man, God fearing too, since we would bump into each other for morning mass on weekdays at 7am. Kweli Mungu haachi mjakazi wake!

[@arlenehutchinson9259]

Brilliant and honest. A child would be proud to have such a father.
