At 40, celebrated singer Akothee has announced her readiness to settle down, citing the importance of a partner in her life.
She made the announcement in a lengthy post on Instagram, where she praised Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and his wife Primrose for their 21 years of marriage.
Akothee lamented how most marriages these days collapse due to lack of patience, saying that young people have no idea what it is like bringing up children in a broken relationship.
“Mwesh us in this generation, we lost patience, we just want ready men with big cars, mansions and money, we are even advocating for Sux pacs as well,” Akothee said.
She added that she has realised the importance of a partner to share her problems and successes with, saying that she wishes all young couples learn the art of patience, endurance and supportive attitude.
“How I wish I had a husband who could pay for me even just electricity bill, if not, just buy for me pool chemicals, or even shopping for the kitchen,” she gushed.
She went on to say that this single life is messed up, saying that it’s all about you from morning to evening, no one to consult or ask advice, no one to cuddle in the night or even say good morning too.
She ended by saying that she is about to settle down at 40, too late but hope keeps a poor spirit going.
