Growing from recording videos on a second-hand phone to becoming a leading property valuer and social media influencer in Papua New Guinea is a story of grit and purpose.

Theodore Tei, widely known as KAIR BII NEM, captures this journey with honesty and heart.

“When I started recording videos on my second-hand phone, I had no clear roadmap, only faith, purpose, and a dream that ordinary Papua New Guineans could rise if they believed in themselves,” he shares. “My biggest struggle wasn’t financial; it was self-doubt. I often questioned whether people would take me seriously… People said, ‘Em husat bai harim yu? You’re just another Facebook man. ’ But deep down, I knew my message was bigger than their opinions.”

His story teaches resilience. “Those quiet nights editing videos alone taught me emotional strength that no classroom could ever teach.”
