Maina and King’ang’i In The Morning: Can A Kenyan Man Help A Woman Without Having Ulterior Motives?

So today in the morning, Maina and King’ang’i seek to find out whether or not it is a good idea for a person to seek help from their ex. Actually, the question was: “Is it possible for a Kenyan man or woman to seek help from their ex without ulterior motives coming into play?”

And i was reminded of a relationship i was in back in 2011 that fell apart because i sought for help from my ex. My then ex was irate that i had my ex over at my apartment to help me when i was sick. I don’t see anything wrong with that nor do i see anything wrong with asking your ex for help whether monetary or otherwise.

<This is what my girlfriend must have felt about me>

<But in my defence…>

Yesterday some lady called in to say that her ex was the one helping educate her daughter and although they kissed after not meeting for over 20yrs, that was as far as it went. I don’t cosign this because to me, kissing is cheating.
The 1st caller said that because we are human beings, it is only natural that we expect something in return. He would only help out his ex if he knew he could expect something in return.
The next caller spoke in reference to the lady who is having her ex educate her daughter as “kuku na mayai inatumbukizwa”. Apparently, “mayai inakulwa asubuhi na kuku ni ya jioni”!
The men who called seemed to only help out when they knew they could expect sexual favours in return… I think i know where my ex was coming from!
The 1st lady caller called in to say that a man cannot assist you without expecting something in return. He will eventually demand something in return and it is often sexual in nature.

The next caller called in to say that for the past 6years, she has been helped out by some lad who even flew her to Mombasa for a holiday. That was when everyone in the office called bull*defecate*. THIS IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL KENYAN WOMAN IN A RELATIONSHIP: A PARASITE! How do you keep stringing a man along like this then say that he is just a brother to you? He flew you to Mombasa for heaven’s sake! And you claim he got nothing for his troubles inspite of you sharing a room with him? I smell bull*defecate*!

From this point all the rest of the women called in to gloat about how they know men who are taking care of them and they give nothing in return… From men who take care of women and their children to those who buy women little luxuries like clothes and silly trinkets. They called in to gloat. Even Chege Miati who is usually rather zen and mellow said that no woman ever wastes his money expecting nothing back!

What do you think?
