Former Car Soko boss Patrick Riang’a’s public confrontation with Goliath wa Bungoma has continued to attract attention, with Kenyans weighing in on the content creator’s financial struggles and his frequent TikTok Live requests for money.
Patrick recently confronted Goliath during a TikTok Live, expressing disappointment over his habit of soliciting financial assistance from viewers despite having previously received mentorship and an opportunity at Car Soko.
The former boss questioned why Goliath was not reaching out privately whenever he encountered financial difficulties, instead of repeatedly asking strangers for help online.
Kenyans React to Goliath wa Bungoma’s TikTok Begging
The exchange has sparked fresh debate, with some social media users questioning whether Goliath made the most of the opportunity he received at Car Soko.
Ngazekof shared his thoughts on Instagram, revealing that he felt sorry for Goliath after watching a video of him marketing cars at the company.
“Nimeona iyo video ya Goliath wa Bungoma akimarket pale Car Soko na nikamhurumia sana. I hope he has saved enough by now juu he is going back to Bungoma very soon,” he wrote.
Another user, Underrared Ninja, suggested that Patrick had grown tired of repeatedly encountering Goliath asking for money during TikTok Live sessions.
“Patrick wa Car Soko amechoka na Goliath wa Bungoma. Every time ana scroll through TikTok huwa anapata Goliath wa Bungoma na bakuli kwa live begging people for money. He mentored and left him at Car Soko but jamaa sasa ana aibisha kampuni, imebidi aingie kwa hizo live ampashe,” the user commented.
Netizens Question Goliath’s Success at Car Soko
Meanwhile, Muli Travels argued that Patrick’s disappointment was evident even from the way he addressed Goliath.
“Patrick is disappointed in Goliath even by listening to him. But honestly there is no Goliath without Patrick, so definitely tall guy is no longer making sales at Car Soko,” the user wrote.
The comment suggested that Goliath’s popularity at the dealership was closely connected to Patrick’s support and mentorship.
However, not everyone agreed that Goliath had played a significant role in generating business for the company.
Made Man questioned whether customers had actually purchased vehicles because of Goliath’s marketing efforts.
“I doubt that any person ever bought a car at Car Soko coz of Goliath, Patrick just chose to be charitable,” the user remarked.
Patrick’s Confrontation Raises Questions About Mentorship and Gratitude
Patrick’s intervention has reignited conversations about the relationship between employers and people they have helped build careers.

The debate has also placed Goliath’s future at Car Soko under discussion, although his current employment status has not been independently established.
For now, Patrick’s public disappointment and the contrasting opinions from Kenyans have turned the disagreement into another major talking point among Kenyan social media users.
