Clement Omondi, a 33-year-old Nairobi resident, left his new girlfriend Jackline in disbelief after quietly disappearing during what was supposed to be a fancy dinner date—leaving her staring at a whopping KSh 50,000 bill.
The couple had only been seeing each other for about a month when Jackline arrived at the restaurant with five friends, apparently expecting Clement to cover the entire evening. Everything was going smoothly until midway through the dinner, when Clement excused himself to take a “quick call” outside. He never came back. By closing time, Jackline and her friends were still trapped at the table with the massive bill. Restaurant staff, unconvinced by her explanation, reportedly held her there while she scrambled to figure out how to pay.
Later, Clement admitted that walking out was deliberate—not because he couldn’t afford it, but because he felt the situation had gone too far. “I could have paid,” he said, “but having money doesn’t mean you let people take advantage of you. It’s about respect and principles.”
Not many know how Clement reached this level of financial stability. After years of barely making ends meet, his fortunes turned around about six months ago when he joined SokaFans, a sports prediction platform. Regular wins helped him recover financially and also taught him discipline when it came to handling money.
The next day, Clement returned to the restaurant and covered the bill himself. He later had a conversation with Jackline, explaining why he had left. “I wanted her to see that money isn’t a free pass,” he said. “If this relationship is going anywhere, there has to be mutual respect.”
The story quickly went viral online, drawing mixed reactions. Some applauded Clement for setting boundaries early, while others felt his approach was harsh.
