A boda boda rider from Nairobi’s Pipeline estate has gone viral after sharing a video of himself approaching women on the street while secretly recording their interactions.
In the clip, the rider is heard talking behind the camera, “Wacha tutafute mwingine atupe number, inaitwa hunting in Pipeline,” suggesting he had been carrying out similar encounters.
The rider approaches a woman and starts a conversation.
He greets her, saying, “Mambo, excuse me, songa hapa kando kidogo.”
The woman agrees to step aside, and the two exchange greetings before the rider compliments her appearance.
He then asks, “Uneweza kubali tujuwane walahi?” before requesting her phone number.

The woman appears hesitant and asks where he is from. The rider replies that he is just passing by and tells her she looks good.
She smiles before saying, “Nimeolewa.”
The rider, however, continues insisting and says, “Si tuweza fanya chini ya maji?” before repeatedly asking for her phone number. The video ends shortly afterward.
