Waah... This storytime reminds me of my mum... she was also working in the same building and had gone to work that day.. lakini ni Mungu tu alimsave.. she had plans for buying some things at the supermarket hapo hivo after she got out of work .. but she decided to do it during the day since a friend of hers had asked her for a favor; to get some things for her.. akaona afanye tu everything hiyo time... so it blew up when she had just left.. mahn.. I wouldn't be having her today.. 🌼🌼🙏🙏 I hope the families affected are at peace and that all is well with them.💛✨ Edit.. thanks for the love 😊😊

Such a strory Mkurugenzi,umeelimisha wengi wenye hawakuwa by that time. We need these documentations mkurugenzi. If you need the documentations pita na like

I was eight years old when this happened I was at Muthaiga Primary that blast shook me. Little did i know my momma was there and had been at cooperative house when it happened.....to date she still has PTSD any loud noise scares her she suffered some minor injuries but we really thank God for her life 🙏

Sheng...10/10 Queens English...10/10 Skills....15/10 nothing but love!!!

My aunt was in town and pregnant with my cousin it affected her that my cousin was born without fingers on her left hand bt she is amazingly beautiful and God is good

Abel Mutua: more informative than a history teacher and more inspirational than a motivational speaker. I was like 2and half when it happened.

I still wonder why we still have people disliking this post.what is there to dislike? Ama ni chuki tu? Hizo nitabia za uchawi, muwache.

Benson Okuku RIP. I was 6 years old and in Class One. It was closing day at St George's Primary. Mum came and picked me up from school and took me to town to get a matatu to connect to our home then in South C . She narrated to me about the bomblast as we walked and jumped over broken pieces of glass. It was 1 PM then. It was really sombre. Thanks for detailing that dark part of history to us Mkurugenzi.

So sad in deed, Benson Okuku was a HERO indeed.. May the Lord rest his soul in peace Documentaries would be the best thing ever.. and you're in a position together with the Phil-it production

The mom and the tapping of the stone...never have i cried so much 😢 😪. I'd love to attend to your story telling concert. Make it unconventional, under a tree picnic style. In other news, my big sis escaped this blast by 5 minutes. She'd just left the Coop place after an interview. That's God!!

Definitely tell these stories. We're slowly forgetting about our history and culture. You would be doing a great service

My father worked with the victims, I remember their stories because they used to come to our house, I also remember the said day, it was our closing day it was a friday, I was in Kiambu primary school at the edge of the playground at the hilly part, I can remember the blast really well, I can remember even how I turned and looked at the Nairobi direction and saw a heavy smoke, that day we were to go to railways station and someone delayed us and the trip was cancelled, I don't know if I would be telling this story, there was a man called mr marai, he was saved by a watch snatcher, who snatched his watch and he was going to cooperative house and he persued the thief, the thief saved his life

It feels like it's the first time I'm hearing this story 😢😢 man! Israelis though, their efficiency is something else. Benson Okuku, the Israelis, our army, Kenyans...may we never forget

I work in Levilla gardens resort, kikuyu and I have made it my personal responsibility kuhakikisha my colleagues have subscribed.. adi clients wenye tuko social na wao ask them watakwambia

Nani mwingine hulike kabla ya story wah unaweza abeli

You've told us about the bomb blast better than anyone, this should be a movie. It was emotional and still is.

I hope to meet you one day manze, you inspire me big time bro big time.

Ive never heard this story kabisaaa...i was about 2 months old then!! The security guard though...a hero right there. Respect to all the millitary men and women who took part in that exercise.❤

Wow, these stories should never die. For those of us who were born after that bomb blast, we have sketchy/no information about what happened there. Such things should never be forgotten. Thank you Mkurugenzi mkuu

Rose Wanjiku, Kenya's candle in the wind. Continue resting in ☮️ peace. It was such a sad event.

I love the way Abel starts the stories....wapi likes za wanyama introduction ♥️♥️♥️ tunafurahi Sana Abel

Man you were composed when delivering this story but one could see how heavy your heart was. Now this is the Reality Show that we always wanted.

It is truly heroic what guards do and quite unfortunate how they are often overlooked. Rest In Peace Benson Okuku!

Bro, do it, come with friends speak about this stories. It's the high time we need to embrace where we've come from as a country

Benson Okuku: Cautious 100% Good hearted 100% Lagiakaism 0%

You share my vision, these stories need to be documented

But we are happy you are here telling stories some of us know less about.live long..to more life of telling more stories...may happiness, good health and being wealthy be your potion...peace😌

My ex mum survived but she still have some glasses in her head and face, aki leo siku imekuwa about vifo, my friend has lost her hubby, chadwick ameaga manze.. May God comfort all families.. Thanks mkurugenzi

I remember news coverage of mama Rose although i was young at the time. Kenyans had hope that she would come out alive. True what u have said, we need to document these stories. There is an american guy called Tariq Nasheed, he fundraises money for black history documentaries like hidden colors. So maybe we can have same concept? We fundraise so you and your film makers document such important/tragic/never forget/never again kind of stories. Just an idea🤷🏽‍♀️

I will be using your videos as teaching aids in my history class

Only mkuru can tell us"let's go back to 100 yrs" na bado tumfuate kama kondoo and we weren't born yet😀😂...mutua ukatwonya maundu 😀😂..that bombast was baad!.kuna madam mwingine she was telling me,mabati ilirushwa ikaenda kukata mtu all the way in gikomba,died on the Spot

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️tukikuja mapema kuskiza na tusimame kwa mlango tufungie akina lagiaka wasiingie..😂

The only other time I've seen/heard this story told was in a certain Kenyan movie but Mkurugenzi umeifanyia justice. We celebrate Benson Okuku! We celebrate you too Mkurugenzi for telling these stories so creatively. Happy belated birthday!

I remember the day very well. I was traveling from Nakuru to limuru with my one year old daughter. Veeeeery sad day.😢 God bless you Abeli you help us see how far God has brought us as a nation.👍👌

😭😭😭Remind me of our family best friends died in the building Continue RIP MUGO

Ikitoka kitchen niko nayo💯Hiki tu 💃 Bytha we need an emoji for (hiki tu)

COUNT DOWN....15 SECONDS. You guys have made me wait this for the last 6 hrs..aa

I remember like yesterday. We had just left college classes in SPS (Ngara- we used to walk to save $$) walking to town and felt the earth shake - It was like a huge earthquake .. Thats what we thought... Until we saw the smoke.. Until we couldn't even take the matatus to get to our homes.... we lost dear ones... my cousin who survived with deep glass cuts from the KBS bus that was passing my the railways roundabout made life changing decisions that day - we thank God each day for His Mercies... after listening to this clip .. I thank the watchman (never had known of him) Thank you for the sacrifice that saves life. may the Lord continue to bless you abundantly that you never luck and opportunities flow your way.

I was one year old when this happened, and all these years, this is the best detailed story I've heard about the bomblast. Abel, you're a great storyteller. Bless your heart.

I don’t know why I found myself crying. Its so heart breaking what the victims and their family went through.

This story hits home cause my mom was one of the few who were able to escape from the bombing. To date she still fears any commotion that happens in town. May the heroes not be forgotten.

All your stories are movies, short films and documentaries. The lessons, information and education, are very relevant in society in this day and age. You've struck gold with this concept. Best story teller ever!!💯💯

Yeeeyyy😁another episode fresh out of the kitchen !!!! Can’t wait!!

As you've said, these stories need to be documented. This was a nice one. A story of bravery, courage and diligence. Thanks Mkurugenzi

You made me fall in love with Mercedes Benz 😂😂😂aaaah hii leo tunafraiiiii 🔥🔥😂😂

A docuseries of landmark events in Kenya's history from the perspective of those who lived them is a brilliant idea. Its a great way to preserve our history and stories for generations.

Abel day by day you kill it 🔥🔥you are an inspiration Mkurugenzi mkuu

Leo ndo ile day.. Mkurugenzi mkuu. Happy birthday bro ata kama ilipita jana. My prayer for you long life is your portion

Waiting... happy belated birthday 🎂 🎉 mkurugenzi mkuu 💞💞 tunakupenda saana.... hua unanifraaaaisha Sana

Mkurugenzi you've brought out this story crystal clear. Some of us were too young to even understand what happened. Now we know. Thank you.

Had to make sure I watch all the other episodes before watching the latest one and now I'm up to date. I'm addicted to this channel, awesome work as always Abel❤

I walked passed that Co-Op building earlier that morning at around 9 a.m., going to change my money at a bank in Hurlingham. I clearly felt the shockwaves before the blast all the way inside that bank in Hurlingham. Ningechelewa kidogo, singekuwa hapa leo.

Todays story was so intense mazee for a moment it sounded like a movie.but big up atleast we now have a clue of what happened.May the souls of those who left us during that blast cotinue resting in eternal peace

Abel you are a great blessing to our generation. You tell these stories in great detail that i would never have been able to know about any other way. I truly appreciate and thank God for you. May those doors,windows,gates e.t.c. continue to open as wide as possible for you.

You’re such an inspiration & everyone that remembers August 7th 1998 can recall how Rose brought the country together & everyone was praying for her to come out alive. Benson Okuku was the real hero. My dad survived but we lost a cousin in ufundi co-operative. You’re so right,this incidents need to be documented so that we never forget. Thank you so much for telling this story & truly so sorry for loosing your close family friend. May his soul rest in peace. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Mkurugenzi Leo haukucheza kiwewe I think one of the last days it was ur birthday Sasa Leo tulikuwa tunawait how u celebrated ur first birthday party manze 😂😂😂 wangapy wanadai kuona mkurugenzi akipiga story yake ya birthday gonga like mkurugenzi anotice kitu hapa 😂😂lakini tunafrrryy 😂

Naweza sema Happy Birthday Sai ama ningetype tu Jana?!? Haisuru, Happy Belated Mkurugenzi!!!

I like how you integrate suspense in your stories...you can never conclude until you listen to the end of the story. Hata eyewitness will want to listen to the end. Ma mehn!! keep doing what you do best.

One thing I have noticed about you is your brightness,the way you relate your stories,you blessed,we continue celebrating you,

You should have another segment and be telling this historic stories today’s episode was 👌

My friend's Dad survived. He had very bad cuts courtesy of the glass cuts. But another friend lost her Mother. 😔 Benson Okuku indeed you are an unsung hero. 🙏

Wow... These are among the stories that need be documented.. I just knew of the bomblast and the day of its occurrence but not what was behind it... Thank you Abel and the crew

Wah boss never been thrown back this way. I was a young boy in kitengela and the tremors from the bomb were experienced all the way. Boss you're doing a great job maanzee by reminding us how much we Kenyans are build with so much love and unity that should never be taken away by demographic difference... Man you made me emotional just by bringing that picture I used to watch on the TV as a child and how my mum working with the Mugoya construction company rebuild the co-op bank. We commemorate the ones that lost their lives.

This story reminds me of my mum telling me how she felt the impact of the bomblast from her house as she was preparing to go get her visa from that embassy!!! Enyewe God saved her life🙏🙏

Wah, nostalgic 😪 took me back memory lane when I was in primary. My brothers and I were on school holidays when the bomb blast happened. We panicked so bad coz my parents worked in the city. Thank God they were safe and sound. Benson is indeed a forgotten hero 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿. R.I.P Rose 😢.

The story teller of all time. I remember I was in class 6 and we actually lost a daughter of our family friend. 1998 was a dark year. Thanks Mkurugenzi

Who is here is 2022? Whenever I remember this day I thank our late Principle Mr Njoroge for having released us on a Wednesday because the school needed to be used for something. Normally tukitinga chuo at that time the bomb went off we were usually at Railways bus station waiting to board mats za ucha. Had we not been sent home on Wednesday that Friday mimi na kikosi yangu tungekua hizo ma area. Thanks Mkuru for always making great pieces out our happenings around us. Your talent is on another level. We appreciate you.Man

Wakurugenziiiiiiiii ma meeen! u know what, leo mtafry coz i gatchu!

I waited part ya "Rose" survived.....😭😭😭😭😭

Waaaah Abel, I really didn’t know this. I agree such stories should be documented! Good job

OMG, I just started following/watching, I'm on the floor/in tears. You're a great story teller.

The bombast memorial site is actually still up. Guys should make a point to just go see it and learn about these events. Nice stuff Mkurugenzi, hizi story huwezi mbaya!!

Wow ..this story....My dad was to go to ufundi building that day ....But just because my mum was expectant and had a clinic session..we remained with him at home....By Gods grace....my sister was born a week later 14th August....it would have have been a different story....Pole to the families of bomb blast. Abel, my mèn that's a good story👍👏

I remember in our stupidity as small boys then My friend Amos and I went to town to play games at Pop-in, got there at about 9:30...few minutes later the tremor that hit Moi Avenue was really really scary. Whatever I saw there after I've never forgotten.. I lost an aunt, it was such a hard time. Thanks for telling this story.

Abel Mutua,,, I have literally shed tears,,,this time not tears of joy nor laughter it was really emotional...I recall that day vividly I was three years old then my aunt came home and told us about the bomb blast that had happened and she hurriedly left to Nairobi to go and check on my mum who was working in Mwalimu Sacco since by then simu hazikuwa common. Mkurugenzi you have enlightened me much more. May the souls of those who died continue resting in peace. Benson Okuku was the true hero.

So on that fateful day... We lost our dad 💔💔💔💔 n life has never been the same again

I am almost 30 and I didn’t know this story bana for sure we need to document this stories

You must have been a great history student, the way you reference your stories with years and dates still amazes me. About the documentaries, i think you would do great if you started, utatusaidia sana. More love ❤️❤️

Oh my God.. I've watched more than 4 of your episodes today. Your way of telling stories is a gift. I also agree with you hapo kwa ku document such stories. You're DOPE!

Living in huruma at that time, we heard the explosion well and when we knew what it was. We started panicking coz dad was in town that day.

It was such a sad day for kenya.. Peace !!! Nice run

Kudos Mkurugenzi for reminding us of our story. Benson kweli is an unsung hero.

Ooh my! I shared this so that my family can get to hear. Thanks

Thanks Abel for such stories some of us we never had TV at that time.. Through you we learn more
