Kenyan entrepreneur and matatu industry mogul Jimal Rohosafi has shared a powerful piece of relationship advice for men, urging them not to replace their partners when they attain financial success, but instead, to transform their lives. His message, posted on Instagram Stories on January 19, 2025, resonated with many, encouraging men to uplift the women they love.
“When the money comes, don’t change your girl; change her life,” Jimal wrote, emphasizing that financial success should be an opportunity to improve the quality of life for those close to you, rather than seeking out new partners. This statement comes as part of Jimal’s ongoing discussions about relationships, where he frequently shares his candid opinions on how men can strengthen their bonds with women.
Jimal has consistently highlighted the importance of empowering women, particularly within romantic relationships. In a previous post, he noted that elevating a woman not only improves her life but also reduces the chances of her being courted by other men. “Most men don’t realize that the more you elevate your woman, the less available she becomes to other men,” he stated. His advice advocates for emotional and financial support as key components to fostering a healthy, stable relationship.
However, Jimal also warned against the dangers of neglecting a woman’s emotional needs. He pointed out that when men break a woman’s spirit, it leaves her vulnerable to others who may offer her the attention and care she lacks. “When you break her down, you make her accessible to someone who she thinks will treat her better,” he explained. His words serve as a cautionary tale for men to protect and nurture their relationships, ensuring that their partners feel valued and supported.
In his personal life, Jimal is currently in a relationship with Wangari Thiongo, whom he refers to as his wife. The couple went public with their relationship in February 2023 and welcomed their daughter, Amal, in March 2023. Jimal’s past relationships, including his marriage to entrepreneur Amira and his highly publicized romance with socialite Amber Ray, have garnered media attention due to the controversies surrounding them.
Despite his past tumultuous relationships, Jimal’s recent statements reflect a shift towards a more positive and nurturing approach to love, encouraging men to take responsibility for the emotional well-being of their partners. His message reminds us that true success in relationships is about mutual respect, empowerment, and care.
