Amos Njoroge had a simple way of looking at life, one that placed being alive above everything money could buy.
In a social media post, he expressed gratitude to God, writing that being alive was the greatest wealth and everything else was a bonus.
Amos Njoroge’s last post
Today, those words carry a heartbreaking meaning following his death in a road accident. Njoroge’s message read:
“Being alive is the greatest wealth… the rest is bonus. Thank you, Lord, for my life.”
It was a reflection of gratitude, a reminder that life itself was worth celebrating regardless of what a person owned or had yet to achieve.
But following his death, the post has become a painful reminder of how suddenly life can change.
Details indicate that a car knocked Njoroge down, cutting short a life whose ordinary moments and plans may have meant everything to those who knew him.
Njoroge’s post sparks painful memories
The circumstances surrounding the accident, including where it happened and the events leading up to it, remain unclear from the information available.
In the photo accompanying his online presence, Njoroge appeared relaxed, wearing a cap as he posed inside what looked like a shop.
It was an ordinary picture, the kind people share without imagining that one day it might become a reminder of someone they have lost.
Now, the same face is associated with grief, as people who remember him are confronted with the reality that a life can be lost even when everything appears normal.
Questions linger after Njoroge’s death
His final message has also prompted a difficult reflection: what does wealth mean when the most precious thing a person possesses is the very thing that can be taken away without warning?
Njoroge had already offered his answer. Being alive was the greatest wealth. Beyond the sorrow surrounding his death, questions remain about the circumstances of the accident.
Was Njoroge crossing the road when the car hit him? What happened in the moments before the collision? Did anyone stop to help him?
For now, his words remain a poignant part of the story: a public expression of gratitude that has taken on a different meaning in the wake of his death.
