Published on October 18, 2019, Maina Kageni, a renowned radio host, has sparked controversy with his views on men who sleep in women's houses.
According to Maina, such men are not normal and have mental issues. He emphasized that a real African man should not sleep in a house where he is not paying rent, calling it 'stupid.'
During his morning show, Maina took aim at men from Nairobi's Eastlands areas who invite themselves to women's houses, refusing to leave. He posed a rhetorical question, 'What have you cooked for me?' to highlight how these men use the phrase to cleverly ask to be invited into the homes of hardworking women.
Maina urged men to be comfortable with their class levels and not 'crane their necks too high.' He suggested that men should date women from their own locality, rather than trying to move up the social ladder.
Callers to the show, especially women, were in full support of Maina's views, sharing their frustrating stories of dealing with men who sleep in their houses without contributing to the household expenses.
