Njambi Fever stops deliveries to protect boda boda riders amid ongoing rains
Content creator has sparked a heated online debate after revealing her strict “no-delivery” policy during the rainy season.
Njambi Fever took to TikTok on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, to explain why she refuses to use boda boda delivery services when the heavens open – even if she is in desperate need of an item.

As Nairobi remains gripped by heavy persistent rains, the influencer stated that the welfare of the “hustling” riders outweighs her own convenience.
In a candid post shared with her followers, Njambi admitted that while she often requires delivery services, she cannot bring herself to send a rider out into a storm.
“I need something delivered to me so bad but I can NEVER send boda guys whenever it’s raining,” she wrote in the viral post.
Acknowledging the difficult conditions riders face in the capital, she added: “I know they’re hustling lakini unyeshewe ndio uniletee delivery? NO. Wacha ikae (I know they are hustling, but for you to get rained on just to bring me a delivery? NO. Let it be).”
The creator’s comments come at a time when Nairobi’s infrastructure is being put to the test by a period of intense rainfall.
For the city’s thousands of boda boda riders, the weather represents a double-edged sword: a high demand for deliveries but extremely hazardous riding conditions and the risk of illness.
Njambi’s stance has resonated with many who feel that the “on-demand” economy often ignores the human element of the service.
“Personally, I can’t live with the guilt of someone getting drenched for a package,” one follower commented in support.
However, the post has also drawn mixed reactions from those within the delivery industry. While many praised her empathy, some argued that for many riders, “no delivery means no pay.”
Critics pointed out that during the rainy season, riders often rely on those very orders to make ends meet, with some even charging a “rain premium” to compensate for the discomfort.
Despite the debate, Njambi remains firm in her decision to wait for clearer skies before hitting the “order” button. For now, it seems her “dream” deliveries will have to stay on the shelf until the Nairobi sun makes a reappearance.
