So, there's a funny story about why Emil Jellinek chose to name the car after his daughter Mercedes. So he used to get these cars from Carl Benz, modify them and use them as race cars. But after the accident that killed his driver, him and Carl made modifications to make the cars lighter (just as mkurugenzi explained). So when the next one was delivered, he decided to take it on a road test. He asked his wife to join but she refused. Then her daughter agreed to ride with him on that road test. To him that was a show of great faith. So he chose to honour his daughter. Otherwise we could be having the wife's name, or even his, and not Mercedies. Cheers to fathers and their daughters.

Yaani Eric omondi anafaa kukuja kwako for maturity lessons. The importance of education with talent is amazing.

[@linusfabian7085]

High School history only speaks about Karl Benz as the first person to build a powered car............kumbe mkuru behind the scenes anapiga research yake moja safi anagundua msupa kwa jina Bertha was also as important as Karl in this discovery alongside others like Maybach.....hahaaa wewe inakaa tutakupea hii syllabus ureview buana!!!!! BIG UP MKURU!!!!!

[@youngresearchkenyalimited3183]

The late Dr. Laboso was the recent deputy speaker before she went to contest for Bomet gubernatorial seat. Watching live from Uropa.

[@annyqamau2425]

[@johnnabie5445]

[@kimutaikemboi4141]

The late Joyce Laboso was deputy speaker during her tenure as Sotik MP

[@Fridah01-fv3sn]

Vile alisema ikanikujia kwa akili and she was also the 1st gavana in bomet may she rest she was my neighbor in sotik

[@dennis.m.kinyua5988]

For that reason I am buying a Mercedes and I will name it mkurugenzi the great. Hut off for the wonderful story telling skills to one and only Abel Mutua. Wewe ni mtrue 🙏🙏🤝

[@kevinmaina4053]

"siasa kidogo apo inakuanga imekuchenga" 😆😆😆😆

[@naamankiprono9308]

then came the Two brothers Melcher & Aufretch in small Town in Germany called Grospach(not sure that right spelling ;-) ...) and AMG was born inside Daimler Motors....

[@psnawana3794]

Bertha ashukuru Mungu 1886 kulikua akuna wezi uko road.. wangeiiba io prototyp aki

[@collincewere1110]

Best comment so far 😂😂😂

[@Itsmuthoni347]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@_pjnkirote]

You can tell from how Abeli passionately tells this story....that he's a die hard Mercedes Benz enthusiast/fan... And I can almost bet, he supports Hamilton on the F1 track,why??😏😏 You already know what he drives and definitely how his skills compliment the car💯 To all Benz lovers,this was definitely exciting to listen to😍😍

[@willycentwanjiru1432]

"Ukiona nimevaa orange mm ndio gachungua" 😂😂

[@everlineatieno8129]

@Mkurugenzi please on headline hitters... please do a story on a black child Gorge Stinney,executed at 14yrs...and 70 yrs later he is found to have been innocent .

[@ngache46]

[@wangariwangai2049]

@Abel Mutua, this was a very great story of tenacity and daring to believe. You may not realize this, but this episode premiered a day to the International Engineering Week, a true motivation to women around the world, more so those in STEM.,., this was a work of art. Danke schön

[@joshuaturungi3622]

Hii Sato inaisha vi fine Sasa na vibes Za mkurugenzz

[@blackhibiscus1876]

The dimming of lights whilst explaining a context of flashback; and the science animations are genius. One day you and a few others will change TV as we know it.. I give you five years. And when that day comes, you will come looking for me. Cheers!

[@aliceritho]

I wish I could subscribe twice. .. this channel deserves more that a million subscribers by now ❤️🙏❤️....I hope we hit 500k+ by end of year

[@blackhibiscus1876]

I love the way you pick your heroes and or heroines; those little, minute, wee ones that no one notices. Those with little gods and, mostly tiny-winy or absolutely voiceless. Those lacklustre ones that no fellow seems to remember. Then, like Archimedes, you make a forty-five minute eureka streak out of it. You kill it man! Love from Thailand.

[@zenahmungai6140]

I must say, this one of the best narrated stories you've ever done,...from the origin,the process, the emotion,impact,love,..and actuality. You have done well. I wish you nothing but the best in your life now, and to come.

[@dennismajor7207]
