Maina and King’ang’i In The Morning: Women Who Refuse To Leave Their Boyfriends After They Have Been Dumped

Today, On “Maina and king’ang’i in the morning, the topic of conversation was women who refuse to leave their men after being dumped or as they were being referred to, “cellotape women”. I have to say that I was rather disappointed to men call in to justify wasting women’s lives. Men of all ages and educational backgrounds some of whom sounded like they had attended good schools were eager to call in and tell the nation that they had been dating women for up to 7 years only to wake up one morning and decide that they want nothing to do with the women.

Understandably, women were pretty upset when they called in to defend themselves against accusations that Kenyan women are desperate and refused to let go of their men when they got dumped.

Why do some ladies hang on when they have been dumped?

The (new) name for this kind of lady is ‘cellotape’ …because they cling on. Do you know any lady who is a ‘Ciiru ma-cellotape’ or as another calls it ‘Adhiambo super-glue’?

We had an interesting chat over lunch with some gentlemen who asked that we talk about this on radio today because it’s a shame. You mistreat her, you do all bad things to show her that it’s over but she hangs on …she insists on staying …why? Why would you want to insist on a man who doesn’t want you? Why hold on and not let go to a man who says it’s over?

Interesting topic today. Let’s talk!

When the men decided to call in, some fool called in to say that his woman had bitten him after he accosted her with a knife (but as he said, jokingly) demanding she leave his house. Personally, I can only honestly hope she whooped him for pulling such a knuckle-headed knife “joke”.

Another called in to say that after dating a woman for 7 years he had realized she isn’t the “one” for him and he wanted her gone but she adamantly refused to leave saying he had wasted her life -understandable assertion.
He would bring home different women even while she was in the house and she even prepared breakfast for them. She only left when he set her up with a friend of his and “stumbled” upon the cheating pair.

I can honestly say that after listening to these weak men flaunt their weaknesses on national radio, I can fully understand Ciku Muiruri’s frustrations with weak, spineless Kenyan men.
