Kenyan Woman in the US Weds American Model in a Gay Marriage

Kenyan Woman in the US Weds American Model in a Gay Marriage

A Kenyan woman in the United States has tied the knot with her American lover in a same-sex marriage. Manuella Mumbi, alias Manuelle Royale exchanged vows with Lisa Webb Clay in low key gay wedding in the US.

Mumbi is reportedly a businesswoman born and brought up in Kahawa, Kiambu County, and relocated to the US to live with her better half before their wedding.

Webb Clay is an American model who hails from Texas. She reportedly invited Mumbai to the US to formalize their engagement.

Same sex marriage is illegal in Kenya legal in the US.

The ceremony was a totally low key affair as no witnesses were present except for the cleric who officiated their union.

    MUMBI IS NOT EVEN LOOKING @ HER BU, Smart way to get makarakatasi,

  2. MugikuyuFeb 19, 2018

    Mumbi seems to be saying " haha ndatoria ngatema riakamuti ngethane na Njoroge".

  3. Cord PrIincipalsFeb 19, 2018

    What's the big deal abt this Mwakilishi! Leave this people alone.

  4. SukariFeb 19, 2018

    So which is Mumbi? Akili ni nywele kila mtu ana zake! Dip into the lady well....wishing you all the best.

  5. Mkenya halisiFeb 19, 2018

    Mashetani madevils mashitholes immorality masodomy!N u wonder why shootings n killings ziko kwa wingi this USA!U spoil the family values u have shitholes pples in the society!Very very stinking umalaya na ushenzi.May they burn in hell if there is one.

  6. Karing'aFeb 19, 2018

    Wewe Mkenya wacha wivu ulikosa ata mwanaume akupe makaratasi.

  7. SukariFeb 19, 2018

    Mkenya halisi, watch what you wish on others, lest it deflects on you! If you don't agree with their union, that's fine, lakini don't be vile and wish another human being such evil. C'mon, that is YOUR sister, mine...ours collectively! Wash your mouth with omo and wish them nothing but the best.

  8. MaxileyFeb 19, 2018

    Someone here said that it is a quick way to get makaratasi...hhmm.That got me thinking,how many straight Kenyan men would act gay for makaratasi? That is have another man kiss you,and do whatever GHHGGGG.
    May be women are different.Iknow many african men will deny this,and Kenyan women will hesitate to confirm it,but my religion science tells me that agood number of women have homosexual tendencies ,unlike men.In other words women are pretty much bi-sexualThis is generalizing of course.If true,then Royale should be pretty comfortable in the relationship whether for makaratasi,or companionship,or financial gain,or whatever...
    So far nobody has answered this question to my satisfaction"Knowing the backlash, rejection, abuse,insults,ridicule ostracize,why would one chose to be gay?",Is it really a choice?

  9. KenyaFeb 19, 2018

    @Maxiley, Mchovya asali hachovi mara moja. Once a dude gets into that kind of lifestyle he will not get out easy.

  10. maxileyFeb 19, 2018

    @kenya,so you are saying men chose to be gay?

  11. KenyaFeb 19, 2018

    @Maxiley, many gay men were abused as children. When they got into that either by their choice or by force they do not quit that kind of lifestyle.

  12. JamalFeb 19, 2018

    Lol. @ Kenya u seem to know how this things work... Kwa hivo ni ngumu Kutoka ee

  13. KenyaFeb 19, 2018

    @Jamal, do your research. Most of the gays were sexual abused by their uncles, brothers, priests or those people they trust when they were kids. Once they got into it they cannot leave

  14. MugikuyuFeb 20, 2018

    Please show where you read that, any research papers to show.

  15. GuestFeb 19, 2018

    Mimi kama ndume ... michael jordan or Shaq akini-offer 1 million dollars for one night, aki nitapanua anyandue yake yote

  16. BenFeb 20, 2018

    Dude, if you want Shaq to offer you a million Dollars akunyandue, it won't help to remain anonymous... Come out of the closet.

  17. maxileyFeb 21, 2018

    Ben,why did you pick on those two heterosexual men( from past history i judge they are straight.The would be the one demanding to be paid for an act that is so unique to them.Therefore your chances of getting afew millions from them is 0

  18. JamalFeb 19, 2018

    Ha ha ha... Ile pesa Mumbi atatoka nayo hapa...ati wauga jamaa ni celeb...Kai wa githaka ... Mbecha .na mathangu

  19. KenyaFeb 19, 2018

    @Jamai, you are very naive. Most likely she has signed prenup. If they part she will go mkono mtupu

  20. JamalFeb 19, 2018

    @ Kenya ... Did u say naive ? How many Kenyans are praying day and night to sit where u are... In whatever way. Wewe ndio unajua prenap... Even if it was signed mtu akutoe from the hustle to where ever she is now... Hata hiyo mathangu ni kitu ...sio mkono mtupu...wee ona tu naive...look for her after pledging aligience to the frag. ..in only 2 years.. Utaniambia

  21. GuestFeb 19, 2018

    More information required.How do you know the Kenyan is not the one looking like a dude.Whatsome people will not do for papers.Why si Kama utaenda na madolla mbinguni Eesh!

  22. formerlyguest2Feb 19, 2018

    It is just sex people ..............lol, I'm not getting overworked over it as long as it is not in my house :-). Live and let live, less stress in life.

  23. OdingamjinaFeb 19, 2018

    Kikuyu...it's true what they say will do anything for chumes.

  24. Nani?Feb 19, 2018

    You must have been itching to hit copy, paste and post buttons because Kikuyus haven't featured in the last few major attempted theft incidents both in Kenya and the states.

  25. GuestFeb 25, 2018

    It is well known that Kikuyu do anything for chapa, money...kuna Kikuyu woman alilala na mbwa ya mjeremani for Kshs 5000.

  26. Nani?Feb 19, 2018

    Consenting adults people. Like Maxiley put it, why would one chose a life of ridicule and rejection? I don't get that lifestyle because I am not wired that way just like I am not attracted to very heavy women. Kila nyani na starehe zake.

  27. KenyaFeb 19, 2018

    African Americans hate gay, homosexual, lesbian so much. Most of them hide. Like men they marry the opposite sex and keep their male partners in hiding

  28. Mkenya halisiFeb 19, 2018

    Ushetani ushenzi sodomy shitholes works of the devo!Somebody quote here that I should b careful to wish n I repeat with fear or contradiction.Whether my kids turns to b so like those two devils bullcrap stinking umalaya behaviour I will still raise my voice juu juu she/he have made that decision as a pure adult n it won’t change my upright thinking.U bring up beta pple in yr family u have a beta pple in the society but period?We should not uprift such a stinking sodomy crap hogwash behaviour.@Maxiely so If once’s decide to b apedophlia raping kids it’s ok according to ur comments???So mtu akichagua whatever he wants he/she should b left alone???In Kenya they get burned alive akipatikana kwa society n USA they r uprifted n praised!!!!Nyinyi kaeni huko n pray very hard for yr kids!!

  29. maxileyFeb 19, 2018

    mkenya halisi,are you seriously equating homosexuality to child molestation?.my approach to this social issues is scientific.if aguy has no mental issues and he defiles achild,fry him.my religion science is still trying to unravel the mistery of why people the way they do,especially in aharmful wsy.once we discover that we will able to manipulate the dna and correct this errant behavior

  30. MugikuyuFeb 19, 2018

    You are the one who should be praying hard for your kids. If they turn out gay, they will shut you out and disown you and continue living like nothing happened. You will die alone with your money. You can not have such venom in you cos it will come back to bite you. Karma is a b****. Relax these are human beings not animals.

  31. Nani?Feb 19, 2018

    Migikuyu, very well put. If any of my children were gay, I would be more worried about people like MkenyaHalisi than whatever else the world throws at them. The world has too many other problems for homosexuality to feature in my radar of problems that need urgent solutions. Also, heterosexual relationships are much more than the sex act itself. I love my wife and children's companionship the most. They are my best friends. I assume homosexual relationships are much more than the act itself as well. I have also noticed that people who are quite vocal against homosexuality harbor some sort of insecurity. Conservative pastors Ted Haggard and Edi Jones were fierce critics of homosexuality only for word to come out of their secret homosexual lifestyles....

  32. Mkenya halisiFeb 20, 2018

    Hehehehe @nani So ru saying coz am vocal I mite b like yr named American two pastors???Hehehe bro I thot I have rights to say my thinking.If those two devos have rights to engage in sodomy or beastiality I have my rights to refuse such a stinking devolish behaviour.Here in jamhuri we roast them with tyres or plastics coz it’s against our law or our communities!Hapo majuu u upright beastiality,pedophilia,guns killings,sodomy which is gaysm n all manner of stinking behaviours so Please respect kenyans way of leaving n we will respects yr immorality there?

  33. Nani?Feb 20, 2018

    Oh really? I saw a few walking around Nyali last week, freely. In Nairobi, articles on homosexual prostitutes having relationships with politicians, clergy, cops etc have been on the news media. Where exactly are they burnt with tires? I fail to see what is your concern when two consenting adults decide to live their lives as they wish. I may not understand same sex attractions, but I will not stand on a high horse to condemn it. Poverty, unemployment, illnesses, corruption are way more pressing problems.

  34. FreekenyanwomanFeb 20, 2018

    Mkenya halisi you are no different from extremists,what crime did this couple commit.if you care so much then be vocal on gender inequslity in kenya,election injustice,street chilren,corruption,extrajudicisn killing...what a blind way of looking at things.Those of us who have travelled can see exactly that mumbi is lesbian.I eish the couple well.

  35. Che GuevaraFeb 20, 2018

    Well said Nani and FreeKenyanWoman. MK is one person I like reading sometimes, but he is caught up in this confusion between Jewish and Mugikuyu religion and culture. He faces Mt Kenya when it is convenient, or reverts to the Old Testament (a religion he claims not to follow) at other times to condemn acts he does not like. Viewed this way, he has no msimamamo,and you never follow such a person!

  36. kimuraFeb 20, 2018

    God Have mercy on us . read the book of levitucus chapter 18/20
    3 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

  37. Nani?Feb 20, 2018

    The Holy Bible also condemns gluttony, shaking a woman's hand at that time of the month, fornication etc Catch my drift?

  38. AnosFeb 20, 2018

    The so called Holy bible is man made and Constantinople and his ilk must be laughing in their graves seeing how much of fools we are believing in this . There is nothing in the bible that is special. For example, the eclipses or the milky way galaxy or even Elon Musks recent space rocket are spectacular and more awe inspiring than say the burning bush or Moses parting the waters of the Mediterranean sea. (No evidence available). Blah blah blah...so when I hear people using the bible to ...Stuff that was an enigma 2000 years ago or even 500 years ago should not be the basis of how we live our lives today...

  39. KenyaFeb 21, 2018

    @Anos, do not mock GOD with your little knowledge. If you so not not have anything to say keep quiet. Do not say you were never wanted..... "when they contended against the Lord; and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah when that company died, when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign".

  40. AnosFeb 21, 2018

    @Kenya, I can't be silenced because your big daddy in the sky who you love and fear in equal measures has told you through some form of telepathy that I shall be swallowed and devoured in Hades for my defiance. You are quoting a book that is inconsistent and sometimes incoherent. One that endorses genocide, slavery, torture on one hand (when the chosen ones seek favor) then later tries to redeem itself later by offering us gentle Jesus mild and meek as a human sacrifice and introduces hell to replace Hades. You are welcome to ask big daddy to strike me off the surface of the earth, but you cant use the authority of this book to silence me. Because it is all in your mind.

  41. KenyaFeb 21, 2018

    @Anos. Do not mock GOD. I rest my case.

  42. Nani?Feb 21, 2018

    Instead of reasoning and explaining your beliefs, your rebuttal is "do not mock God". For this very reason, many many young people are opting out of beliefs and attending religious services. That argument may have worked eons ago but the modern day thinker has to be given a reason to believe. Question exactly what you believe then formulate your arguments based on your assessment.

  43. GuestFeb 20, 2018

    I overheard a conversation once back in the early 90's btw my folks and an aunt.
    Aunt that happened to be a headmistress of one one the prestigious girls boarding high school in Kenya....
    My aunt wasn't too thrilled at the rate they had to replace Test tubes in the school Labs...
    She expelled a couple of students caught in various "uncompromising positions"
    I wish she was still alive to witness.... Revolution at its finest.RIP
    AM A LESBIAN & PROUD

  44. shame on you mkenya halisiFeb 20, 2018

    mkenya halisi talk for yourself do NOT generalize Kenya or Kenyans.Thats your opinion nd you do not represent Kenya. Am a Kenyan and I don't think like you. I don't care who you take to your
    or who you choose to spend your live with. I have a life and things to worry about. I suggest you get a little bit of exposure hopefully you mind clears up.

  45. Mkenya halisiFeb 20, 2018

    Uyu ni mugiro in my kikuyu culture meaning ur bewitched by the devos n cursed in our society if ur practicing such a stinking idiotic stinking behaviours.Ngaii witu wagikuyu na mumbi aromuhonia murimu uyu Wa unjinga?Next u will b married to dogs donkeys n hyners juu it’s yr rights to do so.When I leaves in Philadelphia there was a lady who kept a very cute big make dogs n the maintenance pple there knew hio ilikuwa his husband to do the stinking job???Ngaaiii witu heal this pple rotten minds

  46. Nani?Feb 20, 2018

    Mkenyahalisi, a dog cannot consent, period. If you are so into culture, playing golf(I know you are a member at Limuru), using the internet and computers etc shouldn't feature in your life. Don't pick and choose to suit your bigotry.

  47. MBINGUFeb 20, 2018

    @ Anonymous: Replacing missing Test tubes in school Lab:. I wish I was close by, my Test tube would have been deployed effectively and it would't need replacement either.

  48. #mkenyahalisikubaffweweFeb 20, 2018

    Anonymous live your life. you don't owe no one any explanation. mkenya halisi children will turn out gay and then his a** will grow up then.
