Kenyans online have hit out at comedian Eric Omondi after he shared a photo where he poses shirtless with his fiancée Chantal Grazzioli and her mum, who is wearing a bikini.
In the photo shared on Instagram, a shirtless Omondi is seen walking beside his fiancée and his ‘mother-in-law.’
“My mother in law is hotter than yours. Tupatane Mama Ngina saizi,” Omondi captions the photo.
Most of the online users who reacted to the photo hit out at the entertainer, saying that his actions are unacceptable in the African society.
Reuben Ogachi says: “How can you look at your mother-in-law’s thighs and curves without feeling guilty.”
“In Africa where I come from you are not allowed to see you mom-in-law in such a position… Thank God you not an African,” a user by the name Prudent notes.
Constant Mutanda notes: “We no longer live on African ties just go beyond it, it’s a new era.”
Ava Onyango says: “This is not about the swimming costume/ bikini or whatever you call it in your civilized world. This is about the who and the context. In Africa, we respect the mother-in-law greatly. We don’t parade our half-naked bodies to them and vice versa. So primitive or not, civilized or not, pool or not, beach or not, let respect and culture prevail!”
kenyans are very stupid …
kenyans are very stupid … kenyan mothers wear bikers and mothers union skirts … then they put a head scarf that looks like a helmet … she ends up looking like a night watchman … I wish my mother in law was hot enough to wear bikinis, thongs na kadhalika – lakini mwili imekataa … Erick omondi is very lucky .. If I was him, I would do them both and pretend I cant tell the difference .. kwani iko nini … kenyan mothers wake up and stop dressing like night watchmen … even hookers know it and all they do is show us their thighs and we forget our names … brary full
In circumstances like this:…
In circumstances like this: It’s incumbent upon Erick Omondi to Exercise Self control. But one thing I know: Bunyore men (with their DOG lust) won’t. They would be SHAKING and SLOBBERING (until they Hair and Teeth beginning falling off). You know! those with Viparangotos/Toupes slash Vibogoyos/Dentures.
That is not a bikini his…
That is not a bikini his mother-in-law is wearing. Different cultures have different values. Which is worse? Omondi bathing in the river/lake with his whole villagers butt naked or his mother-in-law walking wearing a swimming costume?
Moral police? Please, let…
Moral police? Please, let people exercise freedom!
Lighten up folks. Now we act…
Lighten up folks. Now we act like we are better than our forefathers and fore mothers who pracrically walked,and frolicked naked.Is it because mzungu came and told us we were savages.Now same mzungu ia showing us that there is no shame in our nakedness and we gobble.we act like puppet on a yoyo.
We Africans are as diverse in our thinking just like the other humans in other continents.
Its all in the mind.Certainly we can learn to respect each other even when naked. Do we have to about sex all the time we see a naked body?particularly men?.I say no.
The same Kenyans want to…
The same Kenyans want to drop their cultures like hot ugali to adopt the American/Western values. In the West, this mama is dressed right…Kenyans, choose: loose your values to ape your former colonial masters, or you stick to yours, no matter how savage that may appear in the eyes of the White Masters..bure kabisa!
That’s a normal bathing suit…
That’s a normal bathing suit but Omondi saying she is a “hot” , that part mmmhhhh
Tell it to the birds folks…
Tell it to the birds folks. What Omondi is experiencing is the reality(it is happening); what you are prescribing to him is imaginary. You cannot walk around dispensing a concoction moral antinodes from gods know where, just to justify your insecurities in a modern world. Times and space do change and the images and beliefs we may have of our seniors are obsolete. Some mother-in-laws are as young as 35 years and so they are still in fashionable lifestyle. Condemning such young ladies to conform to the images of older mother-in-laws of yesteryears is the height hypocrisy. During summer (and in other parts of the world) even some grandmas will be in bikini. My kind of today’s mother-in-law is a cheerleader, a manager, an ally, an advocate and a team player; not the proverbial “enemy within” “manipulative” and “lumpy” critic. As the saying goes ” your mother gave you life, your mother-in-law gave you her life” itunze!
Vintage kenyans, quick to…
Vintage kenyans, quick to criticize the least important things in their lives while shrugging off what really matters. Humans(in this case Africans) most natural wear is butt naked. Y’ll wanna shun ‘foreign culture’ start by shedding your clothes and wear hides,and feathers or whatever is indigenous to you. FOOLS
Idk Eric Omondi seems…
Idk Eric Omondi seems confused lately. Aende alee mtoto wake na Maribe kwanza halafu awache kuonyesha watoto wadogo kengele yake ndio atleast watu waridhishwe na chochote atakalofanya going forward. In my opinion, the ladies look good and are simply flaunting their beauty- but then again they are trying too hard. Like some clueless person mentioned above, wanawake wakenya hujisitiri kwa heshima. That’s how it’s supposed to be. Heshima ni muhimu and it costs nothing and trust me it goes a long way. Otherwise down the line, siku ile utamu yako imekwisha wako atakuja kukutukana, ” Wewe ni malaya kama mama yako”, or “Tabia mbovu kama mama yako”. When the mother-in-law is the pillar of morality and voice of reason in the home, kunakuanga na amani na heshima sana. And those claiming that mzungu has taught us or influenced us should realize that Africans/ Kenyans made their own decisions on what values to keep and what to toss aside. Wacheni ku equate kila kitu kwa mkoloni, you are giving them more clout than they deserve. So to each his own. But I don’t think it would bother me if Omondi’s in law decided to walk naked or compete with her daughter for Eric Omondi’s eggplant no matter what size it is lol
The same ones who are quick…
The same ones who are quick to judge are also suspect as well. Go to the coast and see very young men walking hand in hand with elderly jungu tourists. On a recent trip to Europe, I went to Masai Bar in Eastern Zurich and another African bar in London. Each one had several elderly mzungu ladies. Apparently, they are sure to get attention from young African men so they are regulars in these bars.
STUPID AFRICANS, GRANDMAS…
STUPID AFRICANS, GRANDMAS WERE WALKING AROUND HALF NAKED ONLY 50YEARS AGO…EVEN EARLY 80’S MORE THAN HALF KENYAN POPULATION WAS TRADITIONAL CLOTHING. MJIKENDA WOMEN WALKED TOPLESS AND IT WAS OK. WHEN MUSLIMS INCREASED POPULATION AND INTRODUCTION OF MITUMBA THINGS STARTED CHANGING.
