Bitter Beef As Local Man Claims Kikuyu Men Are Killed By Their Women

Rumour mills are busy after a local man on Twitter made a bold claim that Kikuyu men of Kenya are an endangered species. Specifically, he believes that their women do whatever it takes to take power and wealth.

It all started here:

i think guys dislike kikuyu women because they’re strong and courageous. they take no bullshit and can raise kids alone. and the sons will proudly have their mother’s name as surnames. respect. lol

Then the response came;

Kikuyu men are an endangered species. If they are not consumed by alcohol, they are killed by their wives who derive a sense of achievement by raising their kids alone and giving them their names as a sign of strength. https://t.co/3jVJxClvYJ

Another tweep attempted an explanation of why alcoholism is rampant in Central Kenya:

"Many young men from the Kikuyu community started drinking so much because when the police was looking for Mungiki, anyone who was not drunk and smelled tobacco was considered Mungiki." - Mututho
