A middle-aged woman has triggered mixed reactions across Kenya after openly pleading with single men to marry her, regardless of their background or physical appearance. In a viral video shared widely on social media, the woman declared that she is ready for marriage and invited interested men to come forward.
Speaking confidently, she said she is tired of staying single and wants to settle down. She emphasized that she does not care about a man’s looks, financial status, or tribe, as long as he is serious about marriage. However, her remarks took a controversial turn when she jokingly excluded men from the Kisii community, claiming they “eat everything,” a comment that quickly attracted online attention.
The video circulated rapidly on platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and X, drawing thousands of reactions. Many Kenyans responded with humor, with some Kisii men defending themselves in jest, while others laughed off the stereotype. Some users criticized the woman for promoting tribal bias, while others took the statement lightly as part of the viral moment.
Several men even expressed interest in marrying her, leaving their contacts in the comments and praising her boldness for publicly stating her intentions—a rarity in Kenya’s dating culture.
Social commentators have used the incident to highlight how social media has become a space where personal matters are openly shared, sometimes sparking controversy. They also urged Kenyans to avoid reinforcing negative stereotypes, even in humor.
The video continues to trend online, reflecting Kenya’s vibrant digital culture, where serious issues, humor, and controversy often collide.
