Forex trader Raymond Omosa, better known as the Kenyan Prince, recently shocked fans during an interview with Obinna by claiming he once made KSh 40 million in a single day. The bold statement instantly grabbed attention across social media and brought the spotlight back to his lavish lifestyle, controversial past, and booming success in the world of forex trading.
His Controversy to Riches
The Forex trader is no stranger to the limelight. He first gained public attention due to his flashy lifestyle, expensive cars, and luxury trips. Many questioned his source of wealth, with rumors flying around about scams and “wash wash” connections.
However, in recent interviews, including the one with Obinna, Omosa has been trying to set the record straight.
According to him, his wealth is legitimate and comes mainly from forex trading — buying and selling foreign currencies online to make profit. He claims to have been in the forex industry for several years and insists that it’s a skill-based hustle, not a scam.
“I Made KSh 40 Million in a Day”
The most shocking moment in the interview was when Obinna asked Omosa about his highest earnings. Without hesitation, the Kenyan Prince responded, “I once made 40 million in a day.”
The crowd, and even Obinna, were visibly stunned.
The forex trader explained that the trade involved a high-risk, high-reward strategy. He used over $100,000 (approx. KSh 13 million) as capital in a volatile forex market situation. He claimed that after just a few hours, he cashed out with massive profits.
This statement immediately sparked debate online. While some fans praised him for his confidence and financial success, others remained skeptical, asking for proof.
What is Forex Trading?
To understand the hype, it’s important to know what forex trading is.
Forex, short for “foreign exchange,” is the global market where currencies are traded. It’s the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, with over $6 trillion traded daily.
Traders like Omosa make money by predicting whether a currency will rise or fall in value. When done right, forex can be very profitable. But it’s also very risky. Many beginners lose money in the early stages.
His Advice to Young Kenyans
In the same interview, the Kenyan Prince encouraged young people in Kenya to learn about forex trading and online business. He said that the internet is full of opportunities, and that with the right mindset and mentorship, anyone can become successful.
“Don’t just sit around waiting for white-collar jobs. Learn a skill. Start with YouTube tutorials. Then open a demo account. Practice. Invest,” he said.
He also warned against scammers who promise instant wealth. “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” he added.
Bringing Along His Girlfriend
Another surprising part of the interview was the appearance of his girlfriend, Stephanie Ngunjiri. She joined the show halfway through and gave insight into what it’s like dating someone constantly in the public eye.
Stephanie said Omosa is generous and hard-working, but their relationship faces challenges due to the rumors and attention he gets.
“It’s not easy being with someone everyone talks about. But I know him personally, and I support what he’s doing,” she said.
Why Kenyans Can’t Stop Talking About It
Forex is still a mystery to many Kenyans. The idea that someone can make millions without an office, employees, or a traditional business model is fascinating. That’s why this interview exploded online — it mixes fame, money, love, and controversy.
However, experts caution the public not to rush into forex trading blindly.
“There’s money in forex, yes. But it takes time, training, and emotional control,” says Kevin Otieno, a Nairobi-based trader. “Don’t let flashy stories fool you. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme.”
Final Thoughts
The Kenyan Prince’s interview with Obinna was entertaining, surprising, and full of life lessons. Whether or not he truly made KSh 40 million in one day, one thing is clear — he knows how to grab attention and spark conversation.
For those interested in forex trading in Kenya, this is your sign to learn more. Study the market. Start small. Don’t follow hype — follow strategy.
And as the Kenyan Prince himself said, “If you master forex, the money will come.”
