Conrad Njeru Karukenya,AKA Tiger Power, dared any African man to engage him in a strength contest. Nobody did.

Since then, he has been referred to as Kenya’s “strongest man” thanks to his extraordinary stunts such as breaking a six-inch nail with his finger.

But Tiger Power is no more. According to his brother Ansemoli Kathuri, the 72-year-old died on Tuesday night while receiving treatment at Consolota Mission Hospital, Kyeni, Embu County.

“He has been battling different ailments since 2015, the reason he had to quit powerlifting. He has had kidney failure, lung and heart complications. However, when we were taking him to the hospital on Monday, he was still a man of strength. He even called his children alerting them that he was going to hospital,” he told the Nation.

Tiger Power’s popularity rose when he let a Land Rover roll over him unscathed. In different instances, he pulled stunts such as lifting eight huge men without much effort and pulling a car with his teeth.

Great man.

Watched him alot on Discovery Channel (can't remember the exact show) back then pulling off incredible stunts.





Well, on the bright side, now he can put his great strength to use in Hell by hauling coal into furnaces.

It could be the numerous heavy objects he allowed untop of him in the name of being macho, that resulted in different health complications later on in his life

Watched one of his episodes sometimes ago on DSTV with the name "Superhuman Showdown''(can't remember the name of the channel) and this man literally cut a big nail into two with his teeth then allowed a Hilux ride over him.

We all must die someday. RIP to him. And to us all, in our busy schedules please let's reach our to people we know aren't too previledged as us. Just returned from a cemetery we went to bury a friend's mom. She's been diabetic for a while and today the cord was broken.

Let's all take lessons from life. May God allow the 'rapers' of Nigeria die in our stead and anyone that has taken a dime that is supposed to be used to put infrastructure in place in this country thereby making people die untimely, may they never live to see the good of their children.

He's been battling different ailments since 2015, from kidney failures to lung and heart complications, etc. My guess is that he finally succumbed to the stunts.
