Nyabola did this after enrolling at the University of Nairobi (UON) in 2009
"I had to work as a shoe-shiner at some point to pay school fees at UON and so for three months I'd wake up at 5am to go to archives and bend over shining shoes from 5 to 6 and thats how i payed my way through university"
Nyabola is from a humble background having been raised by a single parent.
Unlike reports, he says he is not married.
