My name Felix Odhiambo, a Bachelors in Microbiology and Biotechnology holder from the University of Nairobi,Kenya. I always dreamt of being a pilot spending my days up in the sky but i guess my fear of heights would not let me realize my dream,so i resorted to science.My family back ground was not very stable financially,a good thing to some extent as it threw me deep into hustling like a man is supposed to.I learned to turn my two hobbies of sewing and video games into businesses that i work tirelessly to see work out in the end.I realised i spend most of my times either crafting some really dope handbags and playing video games when i could not sew anymore.
I am here at Zidisha looking for help to grow my video game business located in Nairobi,Embakasi area.
My part time hobby is to play video games,Play Station 4,FIFA 21 being my favorite game.
Since COVID-19 pandemic struck,bars together with restaurants including other recreational areas were closed.With the boredom around,i realised most of my friends were turning to video games and videos to pass time.I jumped onto the bandwagon and opened my own Video Game(Play Station) and Movies where youths can play video games and also buy movies from.My shop turned into the chill spot guys needed during the lock down previously imposed by our President here in Kenya ,Nairobi specifically.
This business has had it's fair set of challenges,the biggest being finance as the equipment's needed like television sets and gaming consoles are very expensive
I run a small Play Station and video game lounge in Nairobi, Embakasi a favorite for praimary and high school going kids as well as adults.
With schools currently closed, I have experienced increased traffic to my shop as kids look to have a good time. I admit I have been unable to maximise my income as I currently have four stations with space for one extra.
As schools are closed for the next close to 2 months, I am looking to raise funds to buy an extra TV and set up an extra station in my shop
Thank you.
