It Would Be Nice If Lucy Came Out And Said Jambo To Us

I miss Lucy.

No, I'm not crazy. It's just that when I look at Michelle Obama I sometimes wonder why Kenyans are okay with a situation where our first lady doesn't ever come out to say jambo to us. Wouldn't it be nice if she walked down the street every two or three months to tell us what's going on with her? I'd like to know that the nation's first lady is okay and that she's happy. Knowing that makes all of us feel good about the state of affairs in the State House, in Muthaiga and back in Nyeri.

Lucy, I hope to see you somewhere in Nairobi soon.

Having said that, I have to wonder why Kenyans, especially the press, never scrutinize the wives of the men who want to lead us. What, for instance, did we know about Mrs. Musyoka? And what did we know about Mrs. Ruto? Tell me what we knew about Mrs. Mudavadi? Granted we knew a lot about Lucy, but that was only because we'd come to fall in love with her dramatic ways in her husband's first term. By the time Kibaki was sworn in in that secretive ceremony at the lawns of the State House, we all knew exactly what we were getting. Another turbulent term. But Lucy has behaved herself. She's allowed the President and the Premier to grapple with the myriad problems facing this nation without distractions. So I think we need to clap for her.

In 2012, here is what I'll be looking for in a first lady. It's wise to throw this out there so we can start watching the wives of the men who want to lead us.

1. A photogenic woman. Once we elect a President, we are stuck with the man for years. At the very least, the woman he presents as the mother of the nation needs to be beautiful, and must look sweet in pictures. A tired, mean face is fodder for comedians and fireside prattles, but it eventually depresses the nation. So beauty is a critical factor.

2. A Godly Woman. I know somebody is getting ready to jump me for not placing this factor first. The reason is simple. When you meet somebody for the first time, what you instantly see is their looks. Matter of fact, most people judge us by their first impression of us. Given that state of affairs, a potential first lady must prove to us, after we've determined that she's cute, that she loves her God. If a first lady is prayerful, it's a good indicator that her husband is too.

3. A Simple Woman. Remember Imelda Marcos? Three hundred pairs of shoes! Remember Sarah Palin? U.S. $150,000 in stylish clothes and a hairdo. Talk of frugality. The point is...a woman who has the guts to dress like Cleopatra or Cindy Crawford at a time when most Kenyans are struggling is probably going to become a fashion statement in the State House. Is that what we want? The time to scrutinize their wardrobe is now.

4. A Single Wife. This is not something most women have control over, but as a nation we must insist that our presidents have one wife. I'm not saying this because of the Lucy-Mary wars. I'm just suggesting that as a Christian nation we need to be true to the biblical principle of one man one wife. In any case, there is no provision for a first and second lady in our constitution. A man with two wives must be disqualified. Period.

5. Well Educated. Having a ding dong as a first lady can be a traumatic experience. Whenever there are state visits, our Head of State is "required" to be accompanied by his wife. Now just imagine our ding dong first lady in Paris with Carla Bruni, or in the States with the stylish Michelle Obama, or in Uganda with the well traveled Janet Museveni. Get my point? We can't afford to embarrass Kenya, so let's avoid presidential candidates with wives who think South America is the bottom half of the United States.

I need not go on. Obviously there are other crucial factors to consider. Let's hear them from you.

In the mean time, I hope that when First Lady Lucy Kibaki steps out to greet the nation we will all accord her the respect and the adulation she deserves.

  2. "sometimes wonder why Kenyans are okay with a situation where our first lady doesn't ever come out to say jambo to us.."

    What a load of tosh!

    Well, the sun still shines and the birds still sing despite their absence.

    Step out and tell us what?? How much their greedy scumbag husbands are fleecing our taxes? How much their husbands have stolen from taxpayers in fiddled mileage allowances? How much we are being conned in fake foreign trips

    Well, the First Lady, just like her hubby, never seems to care anyway. The couple doesn't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks. Just look at her empty office which she has never stepped in this year despite the huge rent being dished from the taxpayer's kitty?!

    Me thinks their absence makes the air smell sweeter free from their overpowering hypocrisy.

  3. "Samo",
    i don't know know whether or not its a good thing for Lucy to come out and say jambo to us....blessing in disguise or disguise in blessing?

    "Samo" you "wonder why Kenyans, especially the press, never scrutinize the wives of the men who want to lead us"? do the press have the freedom and authority to do so in this country?

    Look, our press is definitely diverse and vibrant, no to mention somewhat professional with an average level of quality, nothing to write home about

    however there is no doubt press
    freedom in kenya is stifled and the media cannot be said to be truly liberal and independent to be able to scrutinise the lives of the men who lead us, never mind the lives of the wives of the men who lead us

    "Samo", I would say your priorities are in the wrong order because photogenic is not the number one quality to look out for in a first lady.

    I know you are a happily married man with an IDEAL SPOUSE and many decades of matrimonial bliss to prove it. however, once again your obsession with superficial outer trapings is your downfall you are so ready to kiss the asphalt yet oblivious the ground is rushing to greet your face

    First Lady should FIRST be 2, 3, 4 and then 1

  4. A very reliable source has informed me that mama Rucy is busy making billions. She's overseeing the expansion of Kibaki's main business empire as their Deacon's chain rolls out more branches in Kampala Rwanda and TZ to be the Marks and Spencer of the region. Apart from The fashion chain of Deacon's they are opening more branches of 4U2 shops and Angelo the shoe shop. Na nyinyi mnachapa siasa tu while mama Rucy makes mbesha!

    And again Sam, what makes you think Kenyans cannot elected a woman president and in the process create a first-husband. Admittedly, the leading women politicians are husbandless; Karua, Ngilu, Ojiambo, et al. But this is not to say others who have husbands cannot show up.

  11. Sam,

    Here we meet again on this subject of ….
    You said …. "What, for instance, did we know about Mrs. Musyoka? And what did we know about Mrs. Ruto? Tell me what we knew about Mrs. Mudavadi?..."

    I think you're expecting too much here. Do you know African men are embarrassed to show off their wives in public? (I guess for fear of seen by their mistress) Wives are for bearing children and the up-keeping of the "family". And any suggestions of Kibaki canoodling and kissing his wife in public should be out of the window. Touchy-feely in public is not African brother - unlike Obama who proudly snog his wife in public and she is not that particularly pretty but yet he is very proud of her.

    If you're a man and struggling with how to love a woman, here is a tribute song on how to love a woman.

    Kwale you must remind them about NOT-SO-PRETTY Michelle. You must know better, tell them about Brazil and Greek beauties.

    And Sam has the cheek to declare monogamy as presidential requirement. What do you think Mary knows that we don't given the otherwise scare crows on TV?

  23. Kwale,

    Hope you've had a god day. Men who love their wives and are not afraid to say it are my heroes. It's a shame that some men still see women as the child-bearer and nothing else. Luckily I sense a mind-shift in Kenya. I see women being more assertive and taking their place in society. The unfortunate thing is that with the empowerment, there is a corresponding uptick in separetions and divorces. I wish we can learn to strike a balance, where men don't feel threatened by the growing power of the woman, and the woman remains respectful of a man's place in the home.

    Thanks for the lesson. I hope lesson two will be tomorrow. Don't you think if I take away just the word "Dinya" I'll have done well for tonight? But I'll have to ask Phil what it means before I go around uttering a word that might embarrass me. You see, teacher, it takes a pupil five to six lessons before he/she trusts the teacher. Or should I now call you Mwalimu?

    By the way, we have a new student. His name is Vikii. Last night's lesson sent him to bed with a smile. I guess Vikii will be one of your best students.

    Of course Michelle Obama is beautiful. She possesses the kind of beauty that you don't see very often. A powerful,loving, strong willed, self-assured woman. And she got nice butts too. Not big but nicely rounded.

  43. Sayra,

    That statement is my observation of Kenya. Do you ever read Woman's Instinct in the Saturday Standard? I love reading it. Whenever i read it, though, I see stories that break my heart. The overall theme in the stories is this...women are getting economically empowered, men are struggling to figure out how to deal with this new situation. The result is conflict in relationships.

    So what I'm saying is that I dream of a time when men will learn to appreciate the brainy, go-getter woman, and the women will learn to see in their husbands the head of the household...even if the woman makes three times the man's salary.

    That's my dream!

    You dont know crap about the bible. Adam and Eve were supposed to stay naked, childless and eat fruits. That was the garden of Eden. If you do not uphold the standards of the garden of Eden, you cant say man is to have only one wife.

    God made the twelve tribes of Israel from the polygamous Jacob: twelve sons from four wives. This is real big. Many of the wives of David and Solomon were chosen by God.

    In the NT Paul only requires one wife for bishops and deacons (1Timothy). Jesus in fact endorsed polygamy. See the parable of 10 brides and one groom.

  58. The Bible is a very complicated boo that is often abused than used by serial plagiarists. It demands some foundation on theology and philosophy without which most foam at te mouth regurgitating the high-school sermons into old age.

    A look at some of the cheap sermons here confirms that the tele-evangelists are in good company and Prof/Dr Ev Teresia and Wanjiru have real competitors. Let us not mistake Western cultures as shoved by missionaries with biblical teaching. Religion is complex and cheapening it is sacreligious.

    Still, on the matter of mono/poligamy, the Good Book is explicit on God's prefered situation. Is God's choice of lifestyle the same as Western culture?

  75. Sam Okello,

    First be informed, majority of people who read this blog are uptight people looking to read about Raila or Kibaki only, or how election was stolen. They want to read how bad Kibaki is leading the country or how well Raila is doing. Anything else is very unwelcomed. It is sadly a very depressed culture. But you have to understand many of these people do not know much of the outside world – either by refusal, denial or distortion of truth. Also some of these people have never lived anywhere outside Kenya so they don't understand these things.

    That said. Now in Psychology there are about are 11 diagnosis of sex disorder which have been recorded up to date. Sexual addictions are among the least talked about and probably the least understood of all addictions. Sexual addiction has been around apparently going back as far as we have recorded history. The lack of knowledge and understanding about it comes from our society's unwillingness to take an honest and open look at sexuality. However, it has only been in the last two or three decades that a clearer understanding of it is being reached. Sexual addiction is rapidly becoming recognized as a major social problem with similarities more well-known to alcohol and drug addiction or compulsive gambling.

    Sexual addiction is progressive and it rarely gets better. Over time it gets more frequent and more extreme. At other times when it seems under control, the addict is merely engaging in one of the common traits of the disease process in which he switches from sexual release to the control of it. The control phase inevitably breaks down over time and the addict is back in the behavior again, despite his promise to himself or others never to do it again. When the ecstasy of the release is spent, the addict will feel remorse at his failure and will switch back to another "white knuckle" period of abstaining from the behavior until his resolve weakens again. Besides being addicted to sexual behavior, some sex addicts are also sexually codependent. These are the addicts who don't really enjoy sex, but are involved in the sexual acts just to please their partners. They fear abandonment, so they don't tell their partners that they are not enjoying the sex. Without help, this is the way the sexually addictive person lives life. Many addicts seek help but discontinue it or find it not helpful. They have a growing appreciation of the reality of the problem but tend to counter this realization by minimizing the problem or thinking they can handle it by themselves. Most fear that letting go of the addiction would mean giving up sex completely.

    There is help should anyone require it.

  77. The problem that most people have is the issue of erection and ejacuration.
    How can this be help?
    In kenya, there was a big erection just one year ago. After the general erection, kenyans fought one another, especially those who did not erect their people.
    Kibaki called himself the president erect after the erection,
    Raila called himself the president chosen in the erection.
    Major confusion arose, it rose so high that the erection was nothing.
    Koffi Annan came to solve this erection because white people were wondering how african have problems with big general erections.

    How can we stop these erections? Can Kibaki, at 76 years of age, still be eligible for erection? Is that why we are cutting the age for president so that a young president can survive a big african general erection?

    Sam Okello, help us because you know more about this erections having observed the president erect obama in chicago as the americans experienced their erection.

  78. Wow, thank you, Dr. Murinho. I've always wondered about this condition myself. I hope the lesson you've given freely on this matter will help the anon who asked about this issue understand better what he/she is dealing with. This is why I suggested professional help.

    Thank you, Doc.
