Forex trader and businessman Raymond Omosa, popularly known as Kenyan Prince, has ignited fresh online debates after making striking claims about his wealth, lifestyle, and personal philosophy during a no-holds-barred Q&A session.
From Childhood Nickname to Forex Fame
Omosa revealed that his childhood nickname was Naymboto, given to him because of his big cheeks. Now 29, he describes himself as generous but admits his biggest fear is death. He explained: “I am scared of death and HIV. You can figure out poverty, but death is final.”
Lavish Lifestyle and Bold Earnings Claim
Amid criticism from comedians like Flaqo and YY who mock forex traders for flaunting wealth, Omosa insisted that his lifestyle is genuine. On his finances, he avoided specifics but hinted at vast riches, saying: “I am seeking the kingdom of God; all other things have been added unto me.”
Still, he dropped a staggering claim: “If I don’t make at least KSh 10 million in profit every month, I’m dead. That’s the money that pays my bills.” He dismissed doubters with the remark: “Punguzeni wivu.”
Controversial Views on Relationships
Omosa stirred controversy with his perspective on relationships, saying men should provide while women focus on homemaking. He openly admitted to cheating but drew the line at polygamy: “I don’t like polygamy, but cheating without being found out is okay. However, women are not allowed to cheat.”
His blunt remarks divided Kenyans online, with some admiring his confidence and others calling him out for double standards.
Mixed Online Reactions
His statements triggered a storm of reactions:
- “This guy is low-key very wise and understands what masculinity is.”
- “A man cheats, but ladies don’t cheat? Listen to this guy.”
The debate intensified when US-based trader Max Anthony shared a clip of Omosa and friends loudly celebrating a trading chart spike. While some viewers saw it as proof of success, Anthony’s caption hinted at skepticism, fueling further questions about the authenticity of such flashy forex lifestyles.
A Polarizing Figure
Whether admired for his confidence or criticized for arrogance, Raymond Omosa continues to embody the flamboyant “forex millionaire” persona. His interview left Kenyans divided — torn between admiration, disbelief, and outright disapproval of both his financial claims and relationship views.
