‘This Woman Is Poison!’ Vexed Kenyans Push Citizen TV To Fire Bi. Mswafari

It seems that a considerable number of people want Citizen TV’s homely guest Bi Mswafari booted out. And they have started an online petition to see the famous guest chased out of the Dennis-Pritt Road based TV station.

Reason being that they feel like Bi Mswafari is the ‘flag bearer for male chauvinism in Kenya’ and that her back-dated ideas on marriage are like ‘poison to our children’.

Part of the petition reads:

” This woman is the worst person to preach empowerment to our children. Empowerment is not only for the girl child. A boy child should also be empowered so as no to feel inferior when in the presence of the modern day woman. What we need to realize is that there are houses in this day and age where the women have taken up male roles. Because society is fluid like that. Don’t let someone like Bi Mswafari lie to you that everything is as it was 30 years ago.

How do you condone such a woman talking to your girl child about living her life to please her husband? After watching this why do you pay school fees for that particular girl?  Why not just keep her at home and show her how to please a husband at home. It will save you school fees and prevent her from calling herself a modern day woman or as Bi Mswafari calls them, ‘Wasomi’. What did wasomi ever do to this woman? Do they look down on her? Does she even have a daughter? I will fly off the bat here and speculate that I don’t think she has a daughter. I also think she hates her daughter inlaw if she has one.
Even my mum disagrees with her view point.
Either citizen T.V should get this woman out of our living room and off our screens (very unlikely so I’ll hold up on the forms ) or balance her obvious bile with a humanitarian person in the panel! Cera Njagi anyone?

We are saying no to slavery!“

There are those who agree with the creator of the petition with comments such as these flooding the comment section:

-Thank you…. I’ve been saying the exact same thing! The sight or mention of her contorts my stomach! It makes me boil.. I listened to her once and was like really? My own mum was like really? I’m unable to can with this woman. I support this petition

-I am a modern day woman thanks to my parents who ensured that I got educated, I have a master’s degree so I am “Msomi”. I stopped watching Citizen because I can’t stand that woman being in my living room and giving crappy advice, my husband hates her too and thinks she is a retrograde!

There is more to marriage than removing a man’s coat or acting like his slave, my husband would never allow me to do such things because he knows it would affect my self esteem which he holds dear and that’s love…..people have different ways of expressing love!

My husband and I will sign that petition….my dad and mum will sign it as well… so where is it.

-I agree with you, this lady is one sided (and a bit in the past too), and BTW am a guy. It is also true that some ladies these days are lazy and tend to think that the only fundamental they bring to the marriage table is sex, and from that you should feed and provide for them like a pet. On the other hand, there are men who do not deserve to have a submissive wife. This is a issue that cannot be discussed in a single television show or in a single article like this. Ultimately, (although I am single and not experienced on matters of marriage), I think a happy and successful marriage cannot be defined in any number of words, except to say that it starts where two people mutually care for each other so much that the other person’s happiness is more important than one’s own happiness. But in this selfish generation, where love is more commercial than anything else, and trust is only as real as a unicorn, I wonder whether such a relationship based on mutual care and affection is possible.

While others were quick to slam her for the article:

• i dont see any sensible point in your article…just mere prattle. Reason why Bi.Safari is invited and paid to host that show is because she comes from a community that commands a high caliber of moral standards.That is something that civil people(i doubt you are one) admire alot,a society governed by ratinal norms and values that vet out conflict.Am disgusted by your elevated level of egocentrism…

• A piece of rubbish. You waste your 5 hours writing this piece?

• what now??..you think we are all equal now.. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.Eph 5:22-33.. you think those who wrote that were drank.. if you think we equal pick up a tab on a date n pay the bill n give a man a break.. pay those fuckin bills .. if nat sit your fuckin’ ass down n cook for that man..
