Kenyan men are hunks, ladies please admit it!

We, Kenyan men, have been labelled by some Kenyan ladies as short, broke and ugly. We have been accused many times of being unromantic and poor lovers. Our only interest, as they claim, is to hit the cookie jar and move on to the next available lass. It has been said that we can only win Olympics marathon races but cannot dare contest in Mr World pageant. The situation is so bad that I hear even Kenyan ladies in the diaspora snub Kenyan men and prefer to date men from other countries who are perceived as having a better physical outlook and a great sense of style. These allegations are, however, baseless, unfounded and fallacious. I am a very straight Kenyan man and I can shamelessly attest that Kenyan men are handsome, desirable and have a well- built body frame coupled with an enviable sense of fashion. Most ladies have been brainwashed to think that we are inferior to our Naija, South African and Wazungu counterparts when it comes to great looks and everything else. I blame it on Afrocinema movies and soap operas from South Africa and Western countries. 

Nigerian, South African and Wazungu guys may have fatter wallets full of Nairas, Rands and Dollars which are more valuable than our local currency because the economies of their countries are bigger and better. However, when it comes to charm, desirability and great looks they just can't match the typical Kenyan man, born and bred in Kenya. The world has come to acknowledge this undeniable fact. One Kelvin Oduor Owiti, 21, who was declared the most desirable man in Africa and fourth in the world at the recently concluded Mr World pageant held in Southport, United Kingdom, is a living proof that we got great looks. Not just great looks, but great looks with a purpose. I am so proud of Mr Oduor for having proven wrong those who have been bad- mouthing us. Most notably, he beat the overrated Naija, Ghanaian and South African contestants. Beating 42 other contestants to emerge position four globally is not a mean achievement. Congratulations to Mr. Oduor for representing us well at the global event.
