Have you ever wondered why young Kenyan men are into sugar mummies, or why they flock different Facebook groups to get hookups with older women?
The 'lucky' ones end up getting the women they desire but at a cost of course, since one is required to pay a hookup fee. Others end up losing the little cash they paid as this is a tricky business. It is like buying sugar, only to end up with a ‘poisonous’ product laced with mercury and copper.Today I set out on a mission to find out how young men respond to these sugar mummy advertisements. I visited one Facebook page, "Sugarmummies Kiambu", which as the name suggests, transacts its business in Kiambu County.I landed on its first post, which gives instructions to the potential customers, who are said to be young men between 19 and 30 years."6 toy boys wanted urgently by rich sexy sugar mummies. Call/sms us on 0717328852. Hook up fee is 350 shillings. NO JOKERS," the group admin posted.The responses which flocked in were more than the required 'six toys':Emmauel Jamemy said: "My name is Emmanuel I am 24 years pls I need a sugar mummy this my phone number 0..........."Mwash Daviex de Ngaxh said: "Am here 2serve them."John Mungai said: "No boundaries hook me up. Money is no big deal give her ma number."Mwash De J said: "If the mum is willing should pay that cash then you give her my number."A different advert is posted, this time accompanied by a photo of one of the sugar mummies. The client, identified as Njeri from Runda, offered to pay Sh6,000 per night to any young willing to offer sexual favours.The 'vijanas' she wanted responded this way:Martin Mwaniki said: "Am Marto I Would like to be connected to Njeri from Runda. Plz, give her ma No 07****." Kamau Sam said: "I’m Sam from Kiambu, 21, plz just hook me up with Njeri 07******."Dennis Matheri said: "I dare u if u people r serious give me a date when we will meet and where we’ll meet. NB: I don’t entertain jokers. I’m waiting."Levi Basakhila said: "Naomba tafadhali nicall privately tuongee niko apa Mathare."Evang Ikponmwosa posted: “Hello friends, I'm glad to let you know that Jesus Christ loves you and did prove it by giving His life so as to satisfy the requirements of justice because of sin on your behalf. Today, all you have to do is accept what he did for you to have it. However, it will soon be too late to make this decision so be wise and decide today. Just pray this simple prayer in faith to have what He did for you. Father, I come to you and accept what Jesus Christ did for me. I confess him as my Lord and Saviour. Congrats and welcome to God's family. Live right from now on because you just received the ability to do so.”
