It is AUGUST. Every Kenyan has sad memories of this month. It is also an election month where we end up electing bad politicians. Before you sleep, say a short prayer for this month: Condemn the evil spirits of diseases, destruction, disasters and deaths. Amen.

NOTICE: I don't know how much I will say this: I am not a "Dr. Khisa," and I don't connect anyone to a "urologist." I don't sell "sex enhancement" concoctions. Be very careful because you will be conned and then you will come to me crying. When you were conned, didn't you

Men, Good morning, It is yet another fine Saturday, Welcome to #MasculinitySaturday This is an assembly, • Of MEN • By MEN • For MEN As our tradition, mark the register. Are you present? Where are you following from today?

Men, Always remember that, When we gather together in the moonlit village gathering, it is not because of the moon. Every man can see the moon in his compound.  We come together because it is good for MEN to do so. ~ Chinua Achebe

Men, Don't forget this: You are 1 pay-slip away from poverty. Your employer can wake up one morning and terminate your employment. Do you have a fallback plan? Don't sit comfortably in someone's job. It is not your job. It is their job, and they can take it away.

Men, There is no shame in downgrading your life, Don't insist on living a life beyond your income. Life is not a straight line. If people run away from you or gossip because you have downgraded your life, then it is even better. #MasculinitySaturday

Men, This year we agreed that you MUST get a first wife, — LAND is your first wife. Let it be rural land. Even if it is a quarter, own it. Ensure the Title Deed is written in your name. Owning land is your first step to self-sufficiency & freedom from control.

Men, — and once you buy land, Do the following step by step: 1. Fence it. 2. Map the home and farm. 3. Build a latrine. 4. Sink a borehole. 5. Construct a gate. 6. Establish the power house. Don't wait. Time waits for no man.

Men, — Also, Once a woman throws tantrums in your house, Once she bangs the door, Don't beg her. Don't bring her back. Let her go forever. Don't entertain disrespect. #MasculinitySaturday

Men, Most of you are so weak that you fear calling out disrespect in your women. You come here online to talk tough but back in your houses you coil your tails. Don't fear upsetting a disrespectful woman. Refuse to be a coward. MAN UP! #MasculinitySaturday

Men, When you come across a woman online writing bulshit and insulting people, — It is because at home she lives with a weak man who has failed to tame her. Once a woman is disrespectful to people, she is already broken, Stay away from her. She will mess your life.

Men, Disrespect doesn't start overnight, It is a series of patterns that you ignore, • The sarcasm • The lies • The excuses These graduate into verbal exchanges and before you blink, she is holding a knife. Don't tolerate any sign of misbehaviour, you will suffer.

Men, Still on disrespect, — You can't earn respect from a woman if you don't respect yourself. • Control your MOUTH • Control your MOOD • Control your MIND • Control your MONEY Respect is earned, not given. #MasculinitySaturday

Men, — Also, Respect other people. People disrespect you if you disrespect them. Respect your parents, your siblings and relatives. If you disrespect your family, they will not respect you. If they don't respect you, the world will not respect you. Charity begins at home.

Men, Therefore, For people to respect you, — Begin by building an aura of respect around you • Walk upright • Wear befitting clothes • Speak meticulously with cadence • Eye contact • Give a firm handshake • Focus on your skill • Refuse to be weak and FAT

Men, Finally, Don't expect respect from a woman if, • You marry a woman with another man's child. She sees you as a low-value, desperate man who has no options in life. If you hear a woman say things like: • A real man is like this, • This man is nice, • A God-fearing

Men, Reminder: Even at work, earn your respect. If you are the man who giggles with female employees, gossiping and throwing other men under the bus, — Nobody will respect you. Even those women you gossip with, will despise you. Go to work, do your tasks, go home. RESPECT

Men, I can't emphasize this enough, DON'T TOLERATE DISRESPECT. The bits of disrespect that you keep tolerating will graduate to physical violence and tragedy. Once you see signs of rebellion, end that relationship immediately. Don't court a monster. It will devour you!

Men, Lastly, Even if you are thirsty, there are people you should never ask for a glass of water. Hold on to your thirst until you reach your destination. RESPECT YOURSELF. #MasculinitySaturday
