Years ago, Conrad Njeru Karukenya, also known as Tiger Power, was the face of Africa before he died last year.
He dared any African man to engage him in a strength contest and nobody did. Since then, he had been referred to as Kenya’s “strongest man” thanks to his extraordinary stunts such as breaking a six-inch nail with his finger.
Tiger Power’s popularity rose when he let a Land Rover roll over him unscathed. In different instances, he pulled stunts such as lifting eight huge men without much effort and pulling a car with his teeth.
At Kevote, Embu County, where he lived with his family, he was a household name for many years during Embu ASK shows.
And Kenyans are gearing to replace Tiger Power. This Saturday, a number of competitors are expected to show their might, from which the most powerful one will be announced.
