Classic 105 breakfast host Maina Kageni has sparked a fresh national conversation after observing a striking trend at a recent Naivasha outing: a notably high number of women aged 35 and above in the company of significantly younger men.
Kageni, known for pushing dialogue on social issues that many shy away from, did not frame the observation as scandalous. Instead, he zeroed in on the psychology behind it, asking what science explains these intergenerational relationships.
“We’re still talking about Naivasha this weekend. The concentration of women who are 35 plus years old who were accompanied by young men was incredible,” he said, referring to the women by the widely used term “Nyummy Mummy.”
His remarks quickly gained traction online, with the Tuko post drawing nearly 12,000 likes and over 1,500 comments, suggesting the topic resonates far beyond casual observation.
What makes Kageni’s angle notable is that he moved past judgment and toward curiosity, treating a social pattern often dismissed with ridicule as something worth understanding on its own terms.
The question many are now asking is not whether these relationships exist, but why they are becoming increasingly visible and socially accepted.
