    In 2024, there exists in excess of 50 million TH-cam channels. 90% of which have less than 1,000 subscribers.
    In the lower levels of the TH-cam creator landscape, it is a battle of attrition to gain even 1 subscriber.
    Leave alone the monumental task that is convincing people to watch a TH-cam channel with less than 150 subscribers.
    You could help somebody build what is now considered a brand, from the obscurity of 107 subscribers on TH-cam to a chest thumping 39,000 subscribers.
    With video views that even channels with 100k plus subscribers rarely get.
    The thing is, having financial muscle to take your 4 by 4 to remote places doesn't translate to TH-cam success.
    How many TH-cam channels exist, whose owners have the financial wherewithal to do expeditions.
    But who lack the storytelling element that makes a channel resonate with an audience on TH-cam. The storytelling element that comes from good video editing.
    So you could help somebody build their brand. Take them from 107 to 39k subscribers on TH-cam.
    And from the success stemming from their TH-cam channel. The social media presence on other platforms would grow.
    28k followers on Instagram.
    26k followers on Twitter.
    After all, nobody knew this so called brand before 2021 except the would be creators and a few friends.
    107 subscribers is not nothing after all.
    It is 107 people.
    So you could do all this, and they could take you to court. They could call you an extortionist and say you stole money meant for office equipment.
    And when they said these things, you'd wonder.
    Let me assure you. No matter the position you get in life. Never at anytime think you are above being held accountable by the truth.
    The truth is God after all. And no one, is above God.
    Commiting a wrong, anyone can do. But once the wrong is committed. Options present themselves to you.
    OPTION 1
    1. Accept the wrong and make amends.
    After all, honesty is vital to the image of your brand. People trust you with their families, with their very lives.
    Do the honorable thing. You may think that the brand is huge at 40k subscribers. But I see it at 1 million.
    What is 40k compared to 1 million. Wouldn't you rather sort out these gremlins at this stage and not the latter.
    So that you are building from a position of honesty.
    OPTION 2
    2. You could part ways with the service provider honorably.
    You could say, now that the trust that was between us is lost. Let us go our separate ways.
    You do your thing. Let us do ours.
    OPTION 3
    3. The third option: To dig a hole.
    You could choose to dig a ditch into what was a pothole.
    And while you made this choice, you could sit pretty thinking you have the might of the law and financial wherewithal.
    Your opponent, you could think. Cannot march that.
    And so you'd think to make him pay.
    How dare he tell us how things should be done.
    And so you'd turn an issue of honesty into one of pride. Pride after all, seduces all men.
    Some more than others.
    The assumption of might would sound wise while you took it. You could even take the matter to court.
    You could even do a press release purporting that your opponent was nothing more than a thief and an extortionist.
    You'd feel powerful as you did all these things.
    But remember, you do not know everything. And the law that you have involved cuts both ways.
    And the ultimate law, above which there is no authority. Is God.
    Remember that.
    And finally, one day after time has passed. You'll realise that you need to put a video up on the channel.
    That a beautiful trip has been carried out and it needs to be stitched together into a beautiful story.
    And then you will realise that the editor who used to stitch your videos together, who makes your monologues come out clean and professional.
    Who does everything in his creative power to make you look good.
    Who stitches together tons of Gopro, IPhone, and Camera footage so that the audience doesn't even suspect that different equipment was used.
    You will remember that you took that video editor to court.
    On that day, you will realise the error of your ways.

      This issue could have been solved way amicably, sad to see both of yall wasting time instead of making good content. But it happens. Honestly am rooting for the common man here they should have done better to hold your hand being a young fledgling, and point you towards success that will benefit both if you all.
      Either way also yourself, you may have to learn a bitter lesson to cut your losses while still you are still due. I understand the despair but you shouldn't stretch your luck like that. Now that it is the courts stop posting it, focus on your good work let the law take its way.
      Get something to work on, forge on, or else you will get stuck in a sunken cost fallacy.

    I've watched other similar expeditions, but I can barely get through 2 mins of them because they lack the refinement found in Mara Nomads' videos. I'm grateful to see the brains behind such breathtaking content. Not only are the videos exciting, but they also inspire many of us to want to join in on the adventures. I understand your frustrations, and it’s disheartening to hear about this situation. However, as a lawyer, I have to say that even if you have a valid point, without a clear physical or electronic agreement outlining the terms of your work and compensation, there’s a chance Mara Nomads will win in court. And they know this. Also, I feel your demands might be a bit too extreme. Regardless, keep fighting brother!

      Acha kumchocha. 80% is content which without it he couldn't get anything to edit. Actually 100% is raw content.
      My advice would be the channel will still grow coz of the adventures. In the short term you might win or lose,but in the long run the nomads will have the biggest last laugh. And bro, don't put yourself in that position of being given handouts like cars. Work for it. Anyway, I find it to be a resolvable issue without necessarily going to courts. For the monetization maybe you get 30% and them 70%. If all you could it for the love of adventure ( which the nomads seem to be doing)and not the likes and money(which you seem to be doing) then there could be no issues.

    I’ve watched Mara Nomads many times, and the video editing you’ve done is amazing-Hongera, you’re incredibly talented. But it’s important to have a strategic plan for where you want to take this talent. Why let your skill and reputation get tied up in a court case that’s consuming you?
    Take responsibility for allowing them to underpay you, for not fully understanding your value, for not setting clear boundaries, and for not securing the agreement in a legal framework. Once you do, you can move forward. The beauty of God-given talent is that it will continue to shine, whether it’s with Mara or not. Dennis, step out of your emotions, take responsibility, and move on.
    Lastly, as we watch you behind our screens, remember this is your fight. Not ours. There’s only little we can do.

They could have just countered his resolution terms if they still need his services or just walked away. Why choose to take someone you very well know you've wronged to court just because you think they can't afford it? If they actually cared about Uhuru they'd have tried to negotiate these terms. But no, they're too important than him, they'd rather damage their reputation in process of retaliating against perceived disrespect.

    My two cents:
    Been following this issue for awhile now. My advice: negotiate with them and let this issue not go to court. From what I see, you may have worked with them but you do not have contractual evidence for any of the alleged damages. None of what you said was agreed upon exists in writing.
    However, THEY HAVE PROOF that you said something about their brand. THEY do actually HAVE A CASE. I have also been reading/hearing something about car demands. Even without going into it, it rings 'extortion' in legal terms. The facts of the case from their side suggest a solid case to answer.
    Let's be a little pragmatic: You pay the lawyer 220K then what PRECISELY do you get? Because you have no contractual evidence to claim breach of contract or tort of any kind.
    Be pragmatic, agree with them on an out of court settlement, give in to their terms. By the way, all lawyers will always encourage you to take the matter to court.
    Like in gambling where the house always wins, lawyers always get paid even if the case gives the plaintiff a deficit.

    My son, sometimes when we are hurt or feel wronged, it’s easy to let our emotions guide us into decisions that may cause more harm than good. But remember, peace is worth more than victory. No matter how difficult it feels right now, take a moment to breathe and reflect on whether this path will bring the resolution and healing you truly need. Sometimes the greatest strength lies in stepping back, seeking understanding, and finding a way to move forward with grace. Protect your peace, my child, for it is far more valuable than winning any battle.

    message to ohuru dennis some fights are not worth your time
    650usd is a small amout of money (compared to the 220k for lawyers fees and pulling down the video ) a fair demand would be you pull the video down and keep the 650usd revenue
    you will excite the audience ( but remember we are here for entertainment nothing serious) learn from riggy g he made us excited that he was going to fight but his battles are his battles
    Rutto is a lawyer and he is trying to protect his image what you are doing is very unfair to the both of you
    remember you next employer might watch this video and if he sees how you handle divorce he might be discouraged
    remember once you step up you income never prepare for continous fist
    but prepare for a rainy day after a decent fist
    i know you are afraid of not having a source of income but 650 might pay for rent until you get back on your feet

    Hi Dennis, I completely agree with you that they were paying you too little for the amount of work you put in. I've watched Mara Nomads' TH-cam channel and seen your work. Speaking from experience, I advise that every decision or agreement in business should be documented in writing, and it's important to have a lawyer review the agreement before signing it. It may seem expensive at first, but it will go a long way. In court, without proof, it becomes an uphill task for you. I'm not telling you not to fight, but as you were contracted and not a co-founder, don't deceive yourself into thinking that editing alone got the channel to where it is. The rest of the team also put in some work. If there's no contract or agreement early on, you will certainly lose. Best of luck, and great work, to be honest.

    • @shillahandanje2115
      @shillahandanje2115 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Please there is a contract between them even if it is not written . See : Where parties reach an agreement on all the terms of a contract they regard (or the law requires) as
      essential, a contract is deemed to have been formed. What is essential is the legal minimum to
      create a contract. These are the intentions to create legal obligations and consideration. Other terms
      are secondary as far as the formation of a contract is concerned. The reason is that the law does not
      require commercially sound terms or sensible terms. Parties may agree to any terms and the court
      will, once it is shown that the parties agreed and valid consideration exists, always hold the parties
      to their bargain. The parties are bound by the terms of their contract, unless coercion, fraud or
      undue influence are pleaded and proved. The court will not seek to re-write the contract for the
      parties (see National Bank of Kenya Ltd v Pipe Plastic Samkolit (K) Ltd & Another [2002]
      EA 503 and Centurion Engineers & Builders Limited v Kenya Bureau of Standards (Civil
      Appeal E398 of 2021) [2023] KECA 1289 (KLR)).
