Have We Raised An Entire Generation Of Young Men That Do Not Know How To Be Men?

Recently I asked an elderly man how he would describe the men of my generation. “It’s a generation who refuse to grow up: No traditional hut or modern house. No marriage. No children. No career plan. No ambition whatsoever. Yours is a bunch of lazy fellas full of excuses.”

I fear that we have failed an entire generation of young men. Have we given a thought of how many of Kenyan 21-35 year olds males have already left home? The male characters are in a mess. Insecure, jobless, and barely able to dress themselves without a wife or girlfriend and living in their parent’s basement or at worst the same single room. Men that are between 25 and 34 should be in their prime working years. Instead, almost one out of every five of them is living with mommy and daddy.
