Dubbed the "Busia Goliath," this towering figure joins a growing list of tall individuals from western Kenya who have sparked curiosity and admiration.
The Busia Goliath was first noticed in a viral video shared on social media.
In the clip, he is seen strolling casually through the streets, pulling a suitcase while using his phone.
His calm demeanor and impressive height drew the attention of bystanders, many of whom were visibly amazed.
One onlooker, stunned by his youthful appearance, remarked, “Ni kijana mdogo,” emphasizing that he is still a young man.
Unlike the usual attention-seekers on social media, the Busia Goliath displayed humility.
At one point in the video, he politely asked the person recording him why they were filming before moving along without causing a scene.
This combination of politeness and remarkable stature quickly earned him admiration from Kenyans online.
Western Kenya seems to be producing a unique trend of extraordinarily tall individuals.
This phenomenon has sparked widespread speculation, with many jokingly referring to the region as a "giant gene pool."
Social media users have even humorously declared this era as the "evolution of giants."
The Busia Goliath joins the ranks of other famous tall personalities from the region, such as Bradley Marongo, famously known as the "Gen Z Goliath," and Isaac Otesa, the "Bungoma Goliath."
These individuals have become local celebrities, with their stories often going viral online.
Isaac Otesa, for instance, recently captured the public's attention after struggling to meet his basic needs in Nairobi.
His plea for help led former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko to step in, offering him financial support and even a job opportunity.
The Busia Goliath’s story has ignited conversations on social media, with many users marveling at his height and wondering about the genetic traits of people from western Kenya.
Others have joked about his potential career paths, such as basketball or modeling.
