However I will not allow anyone to butcher my colleagues just because they happen to have a well rated show – and hence easy target for all social ills. Let’s get something straight:
Maina has NEVER ever claimed to be a marriage counselor, a shrink, or relationship Guru.
Maina is the host of a show, that allows you to laugh, scream and in the case of some of these women AND MEN – a chance to vent.
Maina and Mwalimu provide a platform.
I understand the need to castigate the people who casually destroy their lives and shred their relationships on national radio; but it is un-necessary to drag Maina into it, to call him names or even claim that he destroys marriages. It is also utter trash to refer to him as clownish. Maina is many things, but clownish is not one of them.
Also – married or not irrelevant. Do his listeners connect with him? Then case closed.
Indeed the issue of Unhappily Ever After must be addressed, but it will not be fixed by trying to paint Maina Kageni as the maker of all things miserable, nor will it be fixed by setting ridiculous standards and making comparisons that those very women can barely relate to. Jada Pinkett? Like for real?
Maina’s show has forced us to re-look, re-think, re-evaluate and even re-consider how we enter relationships and how we make those relationships work.
