"Sifanyi Forex!"For Months, Everyone Thought This Kisii University Student Was Doing “Forex” Because of His Lifestyle—Then Erick Kimutai Finally Revealed How He Claims to Make KSh5,000 a Day

For months, the whispers followed Erick Kimutai around campus like a stubborn shadow.

The 22-year-old Kisii University student would post photos of himself at rooftop brunches, wearing crisp white sneakers and designer knock-offs that looked suspiciously real. 

He'd check into restaurants around Kisii and Nairobi. His fade razor-sharp. On TikTok, he danced to Amapiano with a confidence that made people either smile or scroll away in jealousy.

And because this is Kenya, the verdict was swift and merciless: “Anafanya forex.”

In local parlance, "doing forex" has nothing to do with currency trading. It's the coded accusation young men hurl at other young men who dare to live colourfully, dress well, or move with an unapologetic flair. It means ga’y. It means “we know what you are.”

Erick watched the comments pile up. *“Hii ni forex.” “Look at how he walks.” “No normal guy lives like that on a student budget.”*

For weeks, he said nothing. He let them talk. Then, on a quiet Wednesday evening, he opened Facebook and typed a post that would crack his phone screen with notifications.

“Sifanyi forex!!!” he began. “I make Kes 5,000 daily. From 0dds of 5 to 15. From PawaTips.”

The post included a screenshot of his M-Pesa statement—a cascade of green transactions, each between Kes 4,800 and 5,200, timestamped every evening for two consecutive months.

“I got tired of people labelling me,” Erick says, sitting on the steps of the Kisii University library, phone in hand, a small gold chain glinting under his hoodie. 

“They see a young man enjoying his life and immediately think the worst. Meanwhile, I wake up, take PawaTips predictions, place a small stake between Kes 500 and 1,000, and by 7 PM I'm cashing out. Every single day.”

Erick explains his system with the precision of someone who has turned discipline into art. “I don't be’t on 20 matches. I don't chase millions. I look for their daily tips with odds between 5 and 15. 

If I stake Kes 500 on 0dds of 10, that's Kes 5,000. Simple math. Some days I lose—maybe twice a week—but I have a strict rule: never stak’e more than I earned the previous day. So I never dip into my capital.”

He pulls up his be’t’ting history on his phone. It shows a clean grid of green entries. “This is not gamb’ling. Gamb’ling is hoping. This is following a system.”

He discovered PawaTips through a friend who had also been accused of "forex." “He sent me a link and said, ‘Try this before you let their words break you.’ I started with Kes 100. 

Lost three times. Then I learned to follow only the 5-15 odds selections, not the crazy accumulators. Now I have a routine.”

That routine? Wake up at 6 AM, check PawaTips daily pred’icti0ns, select three with combined 0dds around 8 to 12, place a b’et from his "daily stake" wallet, then go to class.

He has one message for his accusers. “Next time you see a young man living well, ask him how before you ask who. You might learn something.”
