A humorous way of telling an emotional story ...we have few men in the society who takes the position of a father and a dad a guardian and a mentor God bless him.

Same case applied to me, saw my dad first at 19yrs at 24yrs had a son, named him after my uncle who was always there for me.. To my dad, I'm the man you never were...

Molo A Primary Alumni in the house Show some love 😊😊 Great talk

With the raise in number of single mums,this was strong message to the deadbeat dads..well articulated,very timely and reflective.. Thanks maranga

Amazing narrarion

Such a deep story told by an awesome orator. Having been raised by a single mother, I know how hard it is to lack a father figure in your life.

I am only just watching this almost one year later. A beautiful and hilariously narrated story! Thank you Mr. Maranga for honoring dad.

I relate with Amani's story. I have Dad and Pops. Dad has been ever present in my life since I was in standard 1. Pops!? I have no idea who he is and I have never bothered to ask my mother about him. I have also never felt the need to know pops and I really don't wish to ever know him coz I don't wish to associate with his dead beat character. Dad has been my father figure and I'll definitely name my kids after him.

Long live dads!!! Pops isaTHROW!!! Gotta share with my son! But unfortunately dad died three years ago after raising him for 9 years he’s now a teenager n following in dad footsteps taking care of his brother

Fatherhood wounds can cause some serious pain in our lives, my heart goes out to my daughter and everyone who's experienced the pain of an absent father. Thanks for sharing Amani

Boys often we feel like someone walked out on us. That they never appreciated the men we would be. Such pains add up to lifetime motivation. Congrats to mothers who often have to go thru the nolstagia of the question: Mum, who or where is my Dad?. Thumbs of to sons and dotas that make it. Now a like for me.!!

Probably the best presentation in the Engage Talk series. Well done, Rev!

Wow! just wow!! the power of a father cannot be understated. You are tooooooo real. God bless you sir

I didn't have dad but met my pops who is a dad now to me... My Dad is my best friend today... We have recovered the years lost in absence

Story of my life. The hardest thing in life is for a child to reach out to his father.

I couldn’t wish anyone that. It really sucks to not know your dad...mine is in heaven now. I miss him dearly but I am sure he is looking down upon me & rooting for me.

Wow Engage thanks for bringing Amani, he's a comedian 😂 bt a very inspirational man,am a single mum en my son is 8yrs, bt Amani made me see my son years later, thanks Amani and food for thought to deadbeat dads

Amaniiiiiiiiiiii Amani Amani Amani...Upendoooooo...(sisal skirt adorned) Enyewe we were brainwashed with those patriotic songs enzi za Nyayo. Beautiful story, well narrated. We thank God for men like 'Dad'

I never comment but this is worth commenting on. I've laughed so much and then felt so sad at the same time.Very well presented.

Planning to meet my father for the first time in my 33 years. Hoping that one day i will share such a narration. I lost my mum when i was 12 and considered myself an orphan until recently when i asked my aunt to help me find him. So far, we have been conversing on phone. I am yet to make that bold step to travel and meet with him.

Jane Nderitu So there's hope

One wise man said that your deepest pain will become your greatest platform (if you let it). Don’t waste your pain, tell it so others can be healed, and as you help heal others you will also be healed. I love your story and am so proud of you. Your mom is my BFF since the 70’s and 80’s. All the best, (Mrs Joyce Mburu, USA).

Thanks Amani for recognising "dad" as the man of your life and naming your son after him.he deserved the honour.... Like the swahili says "aliye kulea ndie baba " And also like the wise put it,any body can be a FATHER but it takes a special man to be a DAD. Bro,you did the right thing,

I'm proud of you. Now and always. You are growth and love and effortless kindness. Thank you for giving freedom to so many.

I loooooooooooooooooooooooove Amani Maranga soooooooooooooo much. He is just real and honest - a perfect breakon of what faith and growth looks like

Nice honest presentation,i also watched the unscripted with G.Musalame.Perharps you and RB(Robert Burale) can do collabos to continue motivating dads n the public.There is a gap to link the millenium generation. Blended families & single parenting is real!.Kudos tuning in frm Brasilia,Brazil.

Oh my! What a story😭 May God pour out his blessings on all dads that step in and fill in for absent fathers

Amani that is inspirational. May the Lord grant you wisdom and knowledge to be a great father

Great!! Very well said. Your dad is a real gentleman. May God bless him.

I love the way Amani weaves humour into such a deep topic and especially because his own experience was not so easy. Well done! The importance of a father figure in the lives of their children, especially sons, cannot be over emphasized.

This is what people pass through..Identity crises but very encouringing story.It takes courage to be a dad and a good father.

The best story I had to pause what I was doing and concentrate fully

Thanks, made me look at fatherhood from a whole new perspective.

Good to see you Amani after a long time back in the days when we were in campus. Nice video. Great work. God bless you

I just found this ka channel. I have laughed ..teared up ..warmed up...kenya despite all the negative narratives( some deserved)... is special...that this forum is available ..these stories that represnet our lives gives me so much pride and hope...Thank you for this

That was deep!What a humorous way to tell an emotional story!Who cut onions in here?

Truly inspiring, kudos to all the dads out there.As for the paps, may God help open your eyes

Great instincts you had there. 1st, the phone number, then the eye contact when you first saw the man, you knew it was him!

What a story. So well delivered. Thanks for inspiring me.

"People from the banana republic... The guys who speak in minor keys..." You are a true wordsmith!

Amen n amen,thank you Amani for this great testimony.

Strong Man. My story. God bless you @AmaniMaranga

Thank you Safaricom for suggesting this right into my dm.... #Twaweza

I feel you Amani... I hope someday I will get over my identity crisis too. It's a very painful journey

Very inspiring story Amani. Well done for telling it as it is. Hopefully this will encourage and strengthen the men to accept, nature and love there wives sons and daughters. Kudos!

A compelling relatable story told brilliantly by a brilliant mind. Too bad your marriage broke down.

I just hope my dad will watch this video some day. I miss having a father around.

A great piece &an even greater speaker... thanks for sharing Amani.

Wow this was very inspiring Amani. Am from Turi, Molo and am proud that you had to tell your story.

Waow, we have a similar story with Imani. Exactly same story...am glad we honour our dads. As for pops, no hate, no grudge but he is like any other man walking on the streets. My daily goal is to make my dad proud and happy

Poignant and humorous at the same time. Thanks for sharing Amani.

At 30 years now,i have never met my dad,though i know where to get him if i need to.I lost my mum a few years back and now that am a mother,i know how much she strained to a mum and a dad to me at the same time.I was so stubborn when in primary and kept asking why i didn't have a man sir name,the njoroge like:).I have now overcame identity issues and i know it's not the surname that matters but the man who was around when your fevers were high and who spend sleepless nights to make sure there's food in the table.Thanks for sharing .Not all fathers are dads

How my daughter will tell her story someday in the future. I hope she will meet the dad who will show her love and care over the pops who denied her a right to have and enjoy the love.

Good for you Amani. Your father is the one who raised you. Forget about the biological father, if he does not honer you, don't honer him. You did not asked to be born.
