Samidoh Advises Men To Provide At Home, Says Broke Men Are Burden To Their Families

• Wendo Wi Cama hit maker Samuel Muchoki, popularly known as Samidoh, challenged men to provide for their families
• The singer added men who did not provide for their families were a burden to them, and no one would care about them
• Many social media users who came across his post backed up his sentiments, adding being a man was difficult

In many cultures, a man is seen as his family's sole provider and protector, as it gives him value and earns him respect.

Is a broke woman still a woman?

Mugithii singer Samidoh has echoed the same sentiments, reminding men of their roles and responsibilities to a woman.

The talented artiste shared similar sentiments, highlighting the bar at which men are gauged in society.

"A broke woman is still a woman. An educated woman is still a woman. A woman who can't provide is still a woman. And she gets all the respect she deserves," part of his caption read.

Do people care about men?

When addressing men, he emphasised the role of provider, saying it was a significant concern.

Whether a man is educated or broke, he noted the pressure was on him to provide for his immediate family.

"But a man without these things is a burden even to his family. Being strong as a man is the only choice. No one cares," he shared.

Social media reactions

His post sparked an online buzz, with many social media users agreeing it was difficult to be a man as it came with responsibilities.

"A culture that tells a broke man he deserves no woman has no right to tell him to stick to one woman when he is rich.

We were born to fight the life of a man has never been easy and will never be easy, and nobody will help you, only you. Stand up strong, champ like a real man, and because of us men, they eat, drive, enjoy and be safe ."

mr_dancerfc:

"To be a man is a lonely road, yet where there is great pain, there is great pleasure."

yegodama:

"Women are born with value. For men, you have to create."

Should Nairobi men earn more than women?

Similarly, a Nairobi man urged men to ensure they had more money than their wives.

Bray Okut suggested that men should strive to maintain a financial lead over their wives, even if it's just a modest KSh 80.

The KSh 80 difference symbolised qualities like unconditional love, peace of mind, serenity, understanding, appreciation, support, and respect.

He humorously added that the day a woman outpaces her man by even KSh 10, he should start running and consider himself single and divorced.
