Eric Omondi: Only Bob Collymore believed in me, when the world did not

Comedian Eric Omondi pens emotional tribute to the late Bob Collymore, revealing a side of the Safaricom CEO, that many were not acquainted with.

Robert, alias Bob, is well known for his philanthropic acts, where he gives back to society whole-heartedly.

However, Eric Omondi unveils another side of Bob, who gives individuals second chances, because the minute he believes in you, you had better believe in yourself too.

Up on social media, the celebrated comedian expresses:

So on the 3rd day of March 2018 a video of me Swimming in River Turkwel in Turkana surfaced online and went viral.

A few people found it funny, Majority were extremely offended.

I apologized for the Video.

Eric´s video swimming in River Turkwell went viral with majority of Kenyans displeased with his actions.

This got so bad to the point that it almost cost him his lifetime.

A few corporates that were in line to Sponsor my inaugural Stadium tour which was in two weeks time were all over sudden not returning my calls.

At around 12:46 PM Bob Collymore sent me the text above [below].

He then called me and asked me to see him in the morning, I did

However, the late Bob put that aside, acknowledging fact that he did apologize in good heart and that is the best he could give.

He presented him a lifetime opportunity because when the world did not believe him, only Bob did.

and after a long conversation about so many things he stood up suddenly and Said

“Eric I have a meeting, I will Sponsor the Stadium tour forward me the proposal NOW!”

This came as a complete surprise since we barely discussed Sponsorship.

According to the renowned CEO, it is part of comedy and humor can get misinterpreted couple times.

That was on the 3rd of March 2018, when the late Bob assured Eric of his full support on his line of art, one that he admired and believed Eric had the talent in.
