By now, I’m dead sure you’ve heard of the business mogul Obadoh Obadoh.
He is the owner of the Cafe Deli chain of restaurants that are popular among Kenyan elites and the bourgeoisie of the society.
Now that he is living a lavish lifestyle, one cannot help but discuss his humble beginnings.
He was born in a polygamous family and had 13 siblings who were raised by his stepmother in Budalangi, Busia County.

When he was in high-school, Obadoh went into the chang’aa business. Here’s what he had to say about it:
“In Form Two, I started brewing chang’aa and selling charcoal to cater for my schooling and the family that my father left behind,”
His ambitions to avoid the claws of poverty made him work hard to achieve everything he currently has because he wanted to change his current situation in life.
Instead of joining the university, he travelled to Nairobi in search of a job and was fortunate to land one at Norfolk hotel as an apprentice chef and lived in Dandora.
That’s when he decided to open up a cake soap for middle-class individuals with the skills he had achieved.
Thanks to a series of loans and investment, he opened the first cafe deli, before opening three more.
In 2015, the proprietor told journalists that the hotel chain was undergoing a Ksh315 million expansion.
