A Kenyan man has become an online sensation after breaking open his piggy bank following a year of saving, revealing a substantial collection of KSh 1000 and KSh 500 notes.
The widely shared video on social media has sparked a trend among Kenyans eager to showcase their year-long savings, with many joining the initiative initiated by the man, whose identity remains undisclosed.
Shared by @mpashogram, the video documents the man’s approach as he uses a knife to break open the sealed ends of his wooden savings bank.
Once successful, he dramatically empties the contents onto the carpet, leaving viewers stunned.
While the man did not disclose the total amount saved, the video has inspired a wave of reactions on social media.
The video also showed another lady breaking a plastic bottle to access the coins that she had been saving for the entire year.
