A woman will travel to the Gulf to work as a maid. The maximum she can earn is KSh 40,000 a month. For almost 14 months, half of her salary will be deducted to reimburse the agents who facilitated her travel. But 4 months after arriving in the Gulf, she will have bought an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Her little pikin, whom she left under the care of her parents back in Kenya, will be transferred to a private school. By the time she completes one year in the Gulf, she will have bought land worth 2 million and started building a house for her parents. With a monthly salary of 40k, she would've earned KSh 960,000 in two years, assuming she receives her full salary without any deductions. That money would still have to cover her personal expenses, her child's school fees, her parents' upkeep, an iPhone, land, and the construction of a house. The numbers simply don't add up. Ata hapa Kenya with a salary of 150k you can't manage all that. Compare her situation with that of a young man working as a security guard or handyman in the Gulf, earning almost twice as much. He could spend five years there and return to Kenya with little or nothing to show for it. When you ask these women how they manage to achieve so much in just two years, the answer is always Ni God manze! Buana, watu si wajinga. We know the kind of services some domestic workers are providing in Gulf mansions beyond their official job descriptions. Some of these young women become PPIs, supplying high voltage electricity to the men of the house. What starts as domestic work can turn into a lucrative but risky arrangement, with money changing hands in exchange for the Mzee of the house hearing good escapedé. In some cases, young boys as little as 14yrs old buy shares in the same dogo kundu stock exchange. All male in that house get a taste of the food that faces the earth. The investment plan will go on for a while, but trouble often begins when the Madam of the house discovers what's happening. Suddenly, complaints about the working conditions in the Gulf start appearing on social media. Before long, the woman returns to Kenya, having accumulated money from PPI (Private Prostitution Investment). Once the money runs out, she looks for another agent, and the cycle begins again. Ask yourself this.. why do some women return to Kenya claiming they experienced hell on earth in the Gulf, only to board another flight back there after some few months. Not every woman working in the Gulf is involved in such arrangements, and many endure genuine exploitation. But where the figures don't add up, it's fair to ask questions rather than accept every explanation at face value. Mtu asiku danganye, 80% of women in the Gulf sell the food that faces the earth. As for men, for you to compete with ladies over there, you must be ready to lubricate your Sundus namna hatari. Otherwise they'll continue calling you a failure for working in gulf all those years without any tangible investment compared to your female colleagues. Kama kawa sisi walala hoii hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu.👀

I paid for my haircut, bought myself kanyama quarter with fries, and then treated myself with two cold beers without spreading my legs for any woman. I love the man I’m becoming.👌🏽
