Ten types of Kenyan fathers

This one is the community 411. He is the kind of father who reveals all family secrets without minding the outcome. He is often excluded from family meetings and only comes to learn of the deliberations a day later. He is the kind of father who never takes responsibility for his children's shortcomings. The fault is always found on the mother's side.

Being raised by a stingy father is one thing that makes kids turn into entrepreneurs at an early age. In fact, those students you see selling personal effects in school to survive and probably being raised by a stingy father. Such fathers send you to school with little or no pocket money. At the end of the term, the M-Pesa fare to either the class teacher or the head teacher.

This one never reveals their plans. You only get to see them at the execution stage. They are the kind of fathers who are very respected and in case a family is called to a meeting, it's definitely meant for family growth and unity. He is the kind of father who talks to his kids soberly without yelling or intimidating them. He is also a father who can be approached without any fear.

This one puts the family before everything else. He is the kind of a father who will sacrifice everything to make his family happy.

He is always at the centre of village fights, plot dramas and office fiascos. He is always bad news. In most cases, his children tend to disassociate from his annoying drama.

He is always perfect in everything - be it cooking, fashion to pampering his family. He is the kind of father that every child wants to associate with.
