Kenya’s online platforms for men – level 1

14-11-2024 07:00

In Kenya, some men listen to online influencers like Eric Amonga (Amerix). Every week, he gives advice on being strong men.

Amerix says that men should be more traditional. These days, women control men. Amerix has many followers who agree with him. Other influencers, like Andrew Kibe, also support his ideas. Many men listen because they feel upset and alone. There is no work. They feel no help.

Other people do not agree. They say that Amerix’s ideas are dangerous. Men may act badly towards women. Some groups are working to help men and women understand and help each other.

Difficult words: advice (to tell someone what they should do), traditional (usual), support (to like an idea).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
