Man Chases Girlfriend From House, Starts Airbnb Business With Her Partner

A man kicked out his girlfriend from his house and resorted to starting a business partnership with another man that had been having an affair with her at his expense.

The man, Daniel Oketch, said while giving his review of Jacob Ailet's book Unplugged, that he had taken a loan to furnish the house to suit the standards of the woman he was dating, who was also his workmate.

He happened to stumble upon the other man in the house who was also footing the rental costs of the residence, and who had discovered that Oketch was the one who furnished the house.

However, instead of fighting each other on believing that he had been seeing his girlfriend, Oketch and the man teamed up to kick the woman out of 'their' house.

"I took a loan to furnish a house for a female workmate I was dating. One day I found a man in the house kumbe he was the one paying rent, he also realized I was the one who had furnished the house.

"We didn't fight, instead we resolved to kick the lady out of “our” house with her few belongings," Oketch wrote on Sunday, January 8.

The two later decided to convert the residence into an Airbnb bringing in profits, thus beginning a business partnership with a stranger whose fight between them might have had serious consequences.

The income generated from the Airbnb soon allowed them to acquire more properties for the same purpose, with Oketch revealing plans to convert a bedsitter apartment into Airbnbs.

"After successfully converting a few more houses into Airbnbs, we are in the process of leasing a 3-storey bedsitter apartment and transform it into Airbnbs. With much more money than I had then, I can no longer use money to please women. Never!" he added.

Unplugged traces the origin of the steady decline of the man’s role in the family. It also seeks to help men understand female nature, revitalize masculinity and build full-stack men who can navigate relationships while providing leadership in an increasingly gynocentric world that has largely silenced men.

The book, which Ailet describes while being sold at Nuria for Ksh1,500, will plug one from comforting lies to cold hard truths. He had written six books before Unplugged, his most famous one, while being unknown and in a financial case, barely breaking even.

Before all the hype, controversy, and vitriol that has followed Unplugged since its release in March 2022, way before that, Aliet was a young boy with an always curious mind. He was born in a polygamous home, the seventh of 11 children.

The Aliets called Eastleigh Section III home, just next to the Airforce Base. His was a beautiful as well as tragic childhood. He recalls, “My father was a violent man, an abusive man to all around him!”

“The beatings became like rain. You knew they were coming but there isn’t much you could do about it,” he revealed in an interview with the Business Daily.

From keeping journals in Form Three about the mundane stuff such as what he ate for breakfast and the type of punishment he got, Ailet rose to a personality many argue is giving Eric Amunga (Amerix) competition in terms of men rediscovering their masculinity, which he believes has been lost to a femicentric modern society.
