Lack of discipline ends in tragedy . Well narrated, silent shadows.

[@Kasasi0322]

One day, two women - drunk. His mother never helped but the son could do no long. They trampled on people and throw money on them. Mama wa nyanya in nyahururu would say he would drive over their wares and throw money at them. In the local area, his arrogance was well known....and the mother behaved the same. No good stories from locals. Oh for the discipline of the days of Catherine Dereva, Paul Tergat ....the young ladies and men need to go for mentorship for those ahead of them on how to carry themselves. Those days, scandals was unheard of. The reason Eliud has ran for so long and succeeded is because of his discipline.

[@joshuaombaka3116]

But don't we have Eliud Kipchoge! The GOAT is alive despite the great accolades. Two great marathoners decided to end it before it was time. Imagine Wanjiru, Kiptum and Kipchoge at Paris? The grave is a rich place of unutilized and underutilized potential

Our David Lekuta Rudisha is very disciplined. He does not have those issues with women. Too much fame, alcohol, women, immorality is taking them soooooo early! I hope the upcoming ones will learn from these two. Because we still have many athletics coming on the way and some are not yet born! Wanjiru came from abject poverty and forgot it very first 🥇! Sooo sad indeed! This guys needs managers and layers and spiritual father's to guide them. Kiptum also a fallen hero

Samuel was and remains the goat of Kenyan marathon no matter what you say about Eliud

[@verenajeremie6906]

Very sad may his soul RIP....but the truth is Samuel is the architect of his own demise .. living a life like this ..making bad decisions , hurting women..heavy Alcohol...an unbalanced mother..toxic women..was a recipie for disaster ..unbeknownst to him he flirted with death..

[@SylviaAchieng-hd4zu]

Wow he flirted with death what a say very brave woman I never heard of that statement

[@sandialyn]

No wonder in he died . He was becoming a thorn in the flesh for everybody. Pesa kidogo .....you think you own the world .

[@AmeZidi_]

Trust me that was NOT little money especially at the time....

[@sandialyn]

@@AmeZidi_ When some says pesa kidogo , it doesn't literally little money. It's just a figure of speech .I'm aware he was worth millions.

[@nelsonkiiru7252]

​​@@AmeZidi_it's still "little" money compared to how things are expensive and how people earn money in this world, it's little! Yes it's alot for most people especially from a poor background but in the whole perspective of wealth it's little.

[@amoschivumbe3058]

Am saddened by the young age at which these successful athletes die! AK should mentor these athletes of the challenges of immediate fame and riches and wealth.

[@GRACEWINFREDMUUSI]

Thanks to Lord for saving the wife trizah from the accusation

[@frimmbits]

Rumors about his dying was that he had been called home by his wife about an emergency. When he arrived, police officers led by then Nyandarua ocpd Jasper ombati stormed the house and Samuel ran upstairs to the bedroom and was trying to escape through the balcony when he was hit with something like a metal rod on the back of the head by one of the police officers. This led to his death. Whatever the wife said is bs. The reason for the police ambush is that a person who later became president had lost his major USD cash at jkia after he blacked out drunk. Samuel was one of the travellers who had passed through the lobby that day. The suitcase the money had been stashed in was found at Samuel's place.

[@wanjirus4809]

Ala! This sounds like a crazy conspiracy but hizi ndio huwa the actual truth.

Very true,anybody would do that at such a young age

[@lizwilson4245]

Very tragic. Very careless of such a young talented man. Unfortunate no one to advise him to take it easy at this early stage of fame. Alcohol affects the faculties that can alert when in danger and it is known to make some individuals think they can fly from roof tops. Only God saw the entire picture that fateful day. We leave it in His hands and may He look after wives and the children Samuel left behind. Thank you for good reporting Silent Shadows.

[@SilentShadows254]

I agree, it's really sad about Samuel. Fame can be tough, especially for young people. Your caring words for his family are nice. Thank you for your support❤

[@that_bloke_kiri]

This was as a result of a combination of many things; 1.He was a young man. 2. Awash with new money without any real financial mentorship/discipline. 3.The poor bastard was surrounded by hyenas, yes this includes his mom family can be toxic AF. 4. And this what killed him, substance abuse, had he been sober, the inhibition not to jump but rather apply rationale would have sufficed. and men for the love of God control your libidos. smh.
