Clerk at Ministry of Education Becomes Overnight Millionaire by Creating a Fake School; Obado in Daredevil Fight to End Raila in Nyanza & Fresh BBI Split Jolts Uhuru, Raila Referendum Plan

Good morning,

It is quite refreshing to see realistic conversations happening on social media, on gender based abuse, and emerging societal issues such as date rape.

The truth of the matter is, somewhere along the way, we failed in bringing up our children, moral wise, which is why we are experiencing so many cases of toxic patriarchy/feminism.

As much as girl child empowerment has become a force to reckon with in the past three decades or so, the boy child will always remain a gemstone in the African traditional society, and this has brought about the clash in ideals we are witnessing today.

Because parents consider their boys as their hope for escaping poverty in the future, especially in these tough economic times that we are living in, these children are cuddled too much nowadays, in the kababa spirit, and develop a terrible sense of entitlement.

On the other hand, girls have been taught that they do not owe anyone anything, and that they are the ones who hold power over themselves, as opposed to the days of our forefathers when women were a property to be owned by men.

When these two genders now meet in the dating space, the chaos we are witnessing in the society is inevitable.

The good news is that children are born everyday and we have the power to shape out a better cultured generation for the future, by imparting the relevant morals of respect and boundaries in our young ones.
