Kenyan Media Personality Ciku Muiruri Charging Sh5,000 Per Hour to Listen to Distressed Men

Kenyan media personality Ciku Muriuri has caused a stir online after she offered to lend an ear to depressed men at a fee, saying that that unlike women who share their tribulations, men suffer alone leading to depression and in some cases, suicide.

Ciku, who is also an author, said she will offer her services over phone due to the Covid-19 threat with each session lasting for an hour.  But it is her charges that caught the attention of Kenyans on social media as each session will cost Sh5,000.

Her post has since attracted 3,500 likes, 2,700 comments, and 355 shares on Facebook. She is also trending on Twitter.

“Men have it rough. When us girls have problems, we talk to each other. We have ice cream, drink some wine, and figure it out with our support systems. With guys it’s different. Who do you talk to when your wife is cheating on you? Who do share with when you have no money? Not your friends. They are there for sports and deals. You will never let them see you cry. Who do you talk to if you feel broken? If you need restoration? We all need to unburden,” states Muiruri.

“I’m starting hour-long calls with men who need to unload about their lives, relationships, fears, whatever is weighing you down. What you cannot tell anyone else. I’ll give a listening ear and the best advice I can. All content is confidential. Each hour long session is 5k and will be conducted on phone for social distancing purposes. DM if you are interested. Not judgment here. Just a listening ear.”

“If your issues require a mental health expert, DM for recommendations for a professional, I'll be happy to point you in the right direction,” Ciku  adds in a lengthy Facebook post.

'Men have it rough. When us girls have problems, we talk to each other... guys, who do you talk to when your wife is cheating on you?' My immediate response would be definitely not to another woman, especially a total stranger. The male psyche is different from the female psyche, and this lady should not assume that what works with women will automatically work with men. Even Scientists agree that men and women don't think alike, because their brains are 'differently wired up'. I will tell you what a man will do, and in most cases, it always works. He will go for a beer with male friends. And after a few drinks, he will confide his situation. Chances are that he is not alone. His friends will either also have experienced the same at some time, or they know someone who has. And from the shared experiences, over a bottle of beer, it will not be difficult to know exactly what to look for, and how to go about resolving the issue. And it is tested, proven, and free.

She appears to be selling the idea that women are Rehabilitation centers for broken men.

>>> Women are not rehabilitation centers for broken men<<

I think that this is just another Con, looking for gullible Kenyans to con. Mark you she is not a trained Counselor, or Psychiatrist, so she does not have any academic or legal documents to open a physical Office, apply for a license, or charge money, to do what she is doing. It is not a coincidence that you have to use a phone, for her 'Services'. It is the only way that she can actually con you. Covid-19 is just a convenient excuse. And I will bet that like all other con-artists, she will either insist on being paid cash, or in any other way that the money you pay cannot be traced to her. And she will insist on being paid first, before the phone conversation... ie, before you realize it is a hoax.

Wanaume kwa kawaida wa kishikwa na sonona na mfadhaiko wa moyo huwa wana lewa na kuonyesha ya kwamba hao bado ni ndume. Mwanaume akimwambia mwenzake eti ana shida na mpenzi wake kutokana na usaliti mwenzake anaweza kumcheka hata kuambia marafiki zake.
Wanaume kwa kawaida hawapendi kuonyesha udhaifu.
Kibinafsi nafikiri mazoezi ya mwili, maombi na hujumuika na marafiki husaidia sana.
