Meet the ‘corporate hustler’ who sells smokies in a suit, earns over Sh3,000 daily

Paul Majani Njeri, 26

My Hustle:- I sell smokies in Ruiru and have been in this business for two years. I began by investing Sh150 to buy smokies, which could only buy half a pack at the time, and building up as the business prospered. Before trying my hand in this business, I was a singer and dancer, and I still am. I go by the stage name Lusher Paulo. I also happen to be a part of the ‘official Gloria Muliro dancers’. Apart from this, I am a dance instructor.

Venturing into the smokies business called for tack in netting customers as I was getting into a crowded field. And one of the ways was to dress different - a suit, rather than an apron and a chef’s cap.
