Collins Wanderi Urges Kikuyu Men To Take Care Of Themselves, Have Good Times: "Wear Good Perfume"

• A Kenyan man urged Kikuyu men to enjoy life and called out their obsession with money and neglecting personal improvement
• The social commentator emphasised self-appreciation and encouraged spending on travel, fashion, and leisure, not just for others
• Collins Wanderi urged young Kenyans to venture abroad and widen their horizons, not just remain in Kiambu, Nyeri, and Murang'a

Nairobi - A Kenyan man has called out Kikuyu men who are usually hell-bent on making money but hardly ever spend it on themselves.

Wanderi says men should thank themselves

According to Collins Wanderi, while it is good to think about the future, it is equally important to take care of the present.

"Life is not all about land, the pursuit of money, mburoti maguta maguta, constructing buildings, cows, goats and investing for your children. Spend your time, energy, and resources to thank yourself too," said the popular commentator on social issues.

"Buy that designer suit and wear some good perfume. Have some fun, and tour the world beyond Mûrang'a, Kîambu, and Nairobi. It is sad that some of our wealthy people only acquire a passport and a visa for the first time to travel to India for medical reasons, only to return weak or in cold boxes. Such is vanity and waste of life," he wrote on Faceboook.

Men should travel to Arusha and Busia

Wanderi said that even people who are mean to themselves should travel beyond the boundaries of Kenya at least once before age 35.

"Arusha is only three hours away while Busia/Malaba are five hours away. A temporary travel permit is less than KSh 3000. A return ticket to Dar es Salaam/Zanzibar is below KSh 60,000," said the lawyer who dedicated his post to an older man who spent the last three years regretting his sedentary localized life.

May this message reach the hordes of our younger brothers who while away their valuable time, energy and money in dingy and smoky beer and nyama choma dens along the Eastern Bypass," he pointed out.

Wanderi advises men to move bedrooms

In another story, Wanderi asked men to move rooms once they discover that their wives are cheating on them.

Wanderi warned the men against confronting their wives even when they have a truckload of evidence.

"Once you have gathered solid incontrovertible evidence, never, ever report or involve her employer; parents or close friends. Her parents & friends will side with her and label you a weakling," said Wanderi.
