- “Love is a father who carried his son in failure and cured him of failure". Steve Okeyo has known and lived failure over and over again. He captivates us with his humor as he tells us the number of times his father lifted him, this includes when he walked from class 7 to class 6 due to frustrations from the math teacher. His experience at his first high school after failing to get a calling letter to high school, made him realize that he needed to get a better quality of education to escape his current reality and create a new one. In this rich and perceptive talk, we get to see how failure and its accompanying experiences can build character and shape a life as Steve pays tribute to his father.
A powerful story of unconditiinal love, told in a humorous and yet compeeling way. Thank you for celebrating your father . He must be smiling and very proud of the man you have grown to be. An apple does not fall far....
Failure doesn't come suddenly.....repeated episodes and a father who never gave up! You came out a hero Okeyo! Hongera! You speak for many who will not freely confess to taking a step back. Oh my av had a good laugh at myself more than at you.
"Love is a father who carried his son in failure and cured him of failure"
This is amazing
💕💝
Well said.
This guy is so funny , he says they were outside the education system
I was blessed with such a father
Never be afraid to take a step back!!
But keep standing
Your father is a hero bravo to him and congratulations to you too for being patient
❤
Powerful story and great man your dad and you are. That's the true Afrikan love, our parents may never say it to you but they'll show it 1M times better and more, sometimes you get to understand it later in life
I can pay anything to listen to this guy again and again
Never be afraid to take a step back!
"He educated all his sisters children and they were eternally ungrateful" 😂😂 This is a statement that sadly reverberates around many families. This man is a good story teller.
Your Father did not only educate his Sisters Children, through what you did this day, he educated the World and it shall remain that way. I sure will also educate my Sons in the same way...eye opening. Thanks.
Wow!!! Thank you for your testimony and powerful message!!
Kenyan teachers traumatize children.Its good to have a supporting parent. Your dad is a hero. For sure never be afraid to take a step back.
My ohh my this guy judt msde me see how privilaged I have been all my life. How our parents shield us from alot of things out there.
That poignant statement about his chat with dad at the grave really hit differently....even the room's silence was loud.
Wooooi.... I have to forgive Chits and Makoks...and the Bunyore girls trauma... And yes...no harm in taking a step back! I thrive now in the field of disabilities... God heals and loves slow learners.. LDs..We thrive!!!
Deep underneath this hilarious story,is a deep sadness of deep facts of what other students in other deep areas of Kenya are forced to go through.
Never be afraid to take a step back. Amazing.....
Inspiring and insightful.
Profound. Thank you for sharing fundamental truths with such humour.
Thank you for sharing your hero story.
We are blessed to listen in and learn
Interesting narrator.. thanks for sharing
So polished... Hilarious.. Sobering.. Waaao so short and interesting..I've learned a lot.. Thanks for sharing
Went to school as a class seven in the morning, came back as a class 6 pupil in the evening..very humorous
Wise dad for sure.
Laughing all the way. Pausing to catch a breathe. Beautiful especially for me as a lecturer.
You are not a lecturer. You are attention seeker.
Kudos to your dad.A real hero.
Absolutely brilliant. Eloquent. Humbling. Thank you for sharing Boss.
A sad yet inspiring story...wow!
Your dad is a hero
The influence, positive or negative teachers have on our children's lives..
Quite a beautiful story, you are also a GOOD storyteller. I have been laughing from the beginning.

12:40 - 13:14 When things get tough, don't be afraid to take a step back. Take it, but remain standing. Don't fall.
Funny that those days guys would repeat classes for the most trivial of reasons...to follow a friend..to avoid excess beating in the next class etc 😂😂
We celebrate your dad, but also we would like to hear more from people who acknowledge their mums for their hard hard work. Women have a harder job than men. Your dad supported u maybe by words or economical support. Am sure your mum did 5 times that job
Interesting
Watched
I think the speakers should rehearse before the speech....or a written commentary to fill in gaps.....we are left wondering what is division one, which highschool did he go? Did he make to college... Is he successful now? He said he visits his father once a month...is that in the grave? Engage is doing great stuff....but improvement is necessary...
His title is familiar with failure .I think that's why he is highlighting the areas of failure ..anyway improvement will be appreciated .👍
hilarious
Funny guy.🤫
Thank you for sharing but it's not wise to name characters in real life.
Who is cutting onions?

Wow. Hannington's dad is a challenging role model to us dads today. Bravo to the old man, he's made a good parent of his child 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
