Maina Kageni, the renowned radio presenter, has taken to the airwaves of Classic 105 to offer heartfelt advice to Kenya’s newest and biggest jackpot winner, Boniface Kamau.
Mr Kamau recently secured an astonishing KSh 424,660,618 in the SportPesa Mega Jackpot, after accurately predicting the outcomes of all 17 matches played on Sunday, August 3rd.
A Life-Changing Fortune
The magnitude of Mr Kamau’s win has left many astounded, with Maina Kageni himself admitting to getting a headache thinking of that money. This colossal sum makes him the largest jackpot winner to date.
Kageni openly expressed his intent to meet the Ol-Kalou jackpot winner, saying he is looking for anyone who can bring Kamau to meet him physically.
“I want to get one person who can get Boniface Kamau and bring him here so I can speak with him. He has become the biggest jackpot winner winning…Let me just see this amount again. 424 million 660,619 Bob. Are you getting a headache like me?” Kageni stated.
The presenter emphasised that this is not merely a personal windfall but a life-changing opportunity that could benefit not just Bonnie, but also his children, his grandchildren, even his great-grandchildren.
Even after potential taxes, Maina highlighted that half of the winnings would still amount to a staggering KSh 212 million.
The Urgent Call for Financial Wisdom
Upon news of the win, Maina Kageni swiftly appealed to listeners for help in locating Bonnie Kamau, expressing a desire to connect him with financial mentors who could ensure the money’s longevity.
He stressed the importance of immediate, sound financial planning, cautioning against impulsive spending and the potential pitfalls of newfound wealth.
“Boni, I’m looking for you. Aki, please ukuje nikushikanishe na financial mentors people who are going to ensure that money will even sustain your great grandchildren,” Maina appealed.
Prudent Investment: The Expert Advice
Listeners flooded the station with their own insights and suggestions for the new millionaire. A key piece of advice emerged regarding astute investment strategies.
One caller proposed a straightforward yet effective plan: placing KSh 300 million into a fixed deposit.
This strategy, the caller elaborated, could yield approximately KSh 30 million in interest every year, providing Bonnie with a monthly income of around KSh 2 million to KSh 2.5 million.
Crucially, the initial KSh 300 million would remain “intact,” with only the interest being spent.
With the remaining KSh 100 million, Bonnie could indulge in a “nice house somewhere” and even “raw flying machines” – a colloquial term for luxury cars.
The consensus was that this allows for a comfortable life, including travelling the world, without touching the principal sum.
“Simple thing fix deposit earn its own money enjoy,” the caller advised, advocating for simplicity over complex business ventures.
Guarding Against Pitfalls
Callers also offered stern warnings against common traps faced by sudden millionaires. There was a strong caution against falling prey to individuals who might try to deceive him into questionable “shares” or investments.
“Achunge sana akutafute wewe King’ang’i mkamweleze vizuri vile atainvest,” one caller urged, stressing the need for Bonnie to seek out trusted financial counsel.
