the Kenyan has evolved over the years…it has been so random and overhauling that we would no longer be called our fathers sons if the saying, “like father like son” was to be taken seriously here are the differences why

the  1970’s Kenyan man

He was manly enough….he doesn’t cry

He did not do pedicures and manicures

 He wore no pinkshirts

He wore no tight jeans

Perfume was never in his vocabulary

Mentioning cooking and his name on the same sentence was forbidden and even a bad omen

Had no fancy hair cuts….Jordan was just enough

Would defend his family against 50 gangsters with his barehands

The closest he came to soap operas was, soap…kipande

Believed in the goodness of canning children

Believed in spending time with his family and spouse

Believed in wooing a woman with poetry, charm and romance

Spends his time with a newspaper

Knows how to slaughter a goat

Stick to a woman till death does his part

the year 2011 Kenyan man

He wouldn’t mind crying

Books manicure/ pedicure well in advance

Is into silkish tight pants and purple supras

Is unnecessarily sweet and gentle

Smells of all things flowery

From cornrows to texturised men have just dived into the salon…err…beauty parlors

When it comes to security …he runs under the bed and dials911

Can’t miss a soap opera edition…if he does he will sleep all grumpy

He would not be caught using just basic soap for his bathroom…the soap must also play the part of a moisturizer, perfume etc

Believes canning children should be outlawed since it could affect a child psychologically

Rather than be stuck with the kids one lousy weekend in a year he would rather spend all this free time with his boys (i.e grow men)

Just takes a lady to java or some place nice n hopes for thebest

Spends all his time on facebook and twitter

Doesn’t know that goat meat comes from goats or is harvestedin shambas

Doesn’t spend his time on anything and prefers fastthings…say instant coffee, use abbreviations rather than full words

Two months from the wedding day he already wants out

am i the only one worried about this new guy in town?
