Discussion: Kenyan women can’t just stay silent after giving a man a few shillings
Can you support your man financial? That was a wild topic on Twitter yesterday after a woman called during his show to confess how she has supported her man and even gives her money now and them.
The caller initiated a flurry of calls from women who some confessed that they do give their spouse some money, ignoring that they should be the bread winners of the house.
Even after the show ended, the discussion continued on social media as many tried to justify why it shouldn’t happen — or should — whenever two people are in a relationship. Many women argued that a man should be independent financial and never ask any financial support from his woman unless it’s very necessary, while others insisted that you should help your man because he also helps you.

Some many also claimed that women can never shut their mouths once they assist their man and always tell it to whoever’s ready to listen.
“I can’t help a man financially, I will tell him to go get a job, even for mjengo,” said Purity.
Another one said “If it were not for me bwanangu hangekuwa popote saa hii. Mimi namsaidia kila siku Everyday I wake up in the morning namwmbea, Mamabo yote namshugulikia, ile siku nitawacha itakuwa mwisho wake.”
Some men also didn’t want to be helped by their women and would rather suffer before they ask for money from her.
