On August 6, 2020, a video of a Kenyan man being thrown out of a house he was living in with a woman in Nairobi went viral, sparking a heated debate on social media.
According to reports, the man, Zack Opondo, was publicly humiliated after a Kenyan woman hired goons to throw him out of the house they shared in one of the leafy suburbs in Nairobi.
Many Kenyans have come out to share their own stories of being kept or being the keepers, with some narrating their experiences of being taken advantage of by their partners.
'I am one of men and after seeing the video I am on transit to Kisii. I was being kept by a woman in Kisumu,' a man identified as Kendi shared.
Another woman, Racheal, narrated how she unwillingly kept a man for six months, saying he would complain about anything and everything, and even refused to leave her house when she asked him to.
Have you ever kept a man in your house? If yes, how did it end up?
