Watu hutoka mbali is a phrase common among the Kenyan people that makes reference to your past in comparison to your present.
More often than not, it is used to describe life before the money and life after the money where the difference can clearly be seen.

This is most especially among public figures who either end up gaining weight, become more muscular, skin brightens up, their lifestyle changes – all this, best describes life after the money.
Njugush hilarious TBT photo
The most recent case being a dear comedy star, Njugush who was yesterday listed among the top 100 most influential young Africans in 2020.
A creative who 10-20 years ago could not convince anyone that he would be this famous, let alone get recognized in the large entertainment industry in Africa.
Well, it has happened and is the reality we can only accept and appreciate.
So the father to an upcoming 2-year old comedian of a son, has decided to light up the internet with a throwback photo of him and his younger brother, 20 years ago.
The year was 2000, an innocent-looking and very humbled 9-year old Njugush who did not look like he could even kill a fly, let alone stand before a huge audience to crack jokes.
“Sema kukiuka …The year is 2000,mimi na bro. 20 years can change alot.”
According to him, it is all about breaking barriers and going beyond. Prompting fans to also share their throwback photos of 20 years ago.
A TBT photo that left fans bursting out in laughter disbelieving that indeed this kid had come this far.
Others comparing his ‘then’ and ‘now’, admitting that he has not quite changed as much, probably just height, body size and the courage to stand before a crowd.
Others could not help but make fun of his head.
