Eve Mungai, a YouTube video maker, has revealed that she has moved into a new home in Nairobi near Riverside and Kileleshwa.
Eve, who makes a significant amount of money from her YouTube channel, gave her viewers a tour of the two-bedroom home with a DSQ and an integrated stove and oven.
Before deciding on the flat, the content creator claimed she looked at numerous houses that didn’t suit her preferences.
“I wanted a house that has a dining area, large sitting area, a modern kitchen but I didn’t want an inbuilt cooker and microwave oven but it was very hard,” she stated.
The home also has a balcony with views of Westlands, a backup power supply in case Kenya Power goes out, and a shared swimming pool.
Additionally, Eve will be able to converse with a visitor at the gate before security lets them in thanks to the apartment’s intercom door system. If Eve is anticipating a visitor, she can also activate the lifts from within the home.
The content developer who lives with her partner revealed that they had to relocate closer to Nairobi because of their schedules there.
“Our current house is located very far from Nairobi. We have to get to town to access other places. Sometimes we get back to the house at 11pm,” she said.
Eve Mungai has become a YouTube sensation following the rapid growth of her YouTube channel which has over 580,000 subscribers.
Her channel focuses on entertainment as well as projecting unscripted real-life experiences of youths from informal settlements.
Her impact in Nairobi and the online community includes the discovery of Madocho wa Kanairo who is a self-styled sheng master.
YouTube content creators in Kenya have come of age, providing an alternative source of entertainment to millions of Kenyans who were used to TV programming.
The platform rewards creators by paying them for advertisements placed on their video content.
Local businesses have also tapped into this growing industry to partner with creators who showcase products in their content at a very good fee.
