Soap operas are now becoming common on our screens. Most of the Kenyan TVs air telenovelas, as most ladies would call them, daily.
These programmes are meant for both genders but they are mostly loved by ladies. Do you have a sister, wife, daughter who hates soaps? if yes, then the margin is very little.
Theses soaps have made ladies think like they are living in the screens. The common names you're bound to find in these soaps are Maria, Alejandro, Ricarda etc. These are just a few of the names ruling the Kenyan airwaves at the moment.
Kisii ladies expect their partners to treat them exactly like what they see in these soaps.
They want you to shower them with love such that you should always buy pizza and chips similar to what they watch! Come on! This is just mere acting!
These same ladies will become so emotional. They become so delicate and get upset at very minimal things. They get mood swings over petty issues.
They will use funny nicknames for their partners like the ones they hear on television such as babe, hunny, swee, bae. The list is endless really.
Mode of wear is still an influence from the screens. They will wear booty shorts and other westernised outfits. Now here comes the climax of the addiction. Ladies who don't have TV sets in their hostels, for campus students, will flock in one their friend's boyfriend room where this essential is available! They will meet in your room every day to watch as they feel emotional due to the soap dramas.
It is quite clear that these young ladies have been brainwashed by Barbarita and Louis Fernanda!
