When it emerged that Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany (her position equals that of Prime Minister), cooks for her husband, many were surprised. Kenyan men who are used to egoistic women could not comprehend how such a powerful woman by any standard and an intellectual heavyweight could possibly still be so wifely? Well, perhaps German women are wired differently. But since we are these sides of Timbuktu, where women think getting Facebook likes is an achievement; my unsolicited advice to men is marry a Kenyan woman who is below their class.
