Former Machakos First Lady Lillian Ng’ang’a has delivered a powerful reminder to men about the often-overlooked foundation of strong relationships: safety. Speaking through her social media on Sunday, November 2, 2025, Ng’ang’a highlighted how women thrive when they feel emotionally, mentally, and physically secure with their partners.
Ng’ang’a reposted a meme stating, “Men don’t realise their superpower is safety. A woman will do anything for a man with whom she feels mentally, emotionally, and physically safe,” adding her own comment: “I wish men understood this!” Her message quickly resonated with followers, sparking conversations about the deeper meaning of love and trust in modern partnerships.
In her post, Ng’ang’a emphasized that while financial provision is often seen as a man’s role in a relationship, true strength lies in creating an environment where women feel protected and valued. She suggested that emotional stability, honesty, and reliability often outweigh material gestures, allowing women to fully invest in love without fear or hesitation.
Experts say her observations mirror ongoing discussions about emotional intelligence and gender roles in Kenya. With rising awareness about toxic relationships and the psychological impact of neglect, Ng’ang’a’s words offer a timely reminder that safety—mental, emotional, and physical—is a cornerstone of lasting partnerships.
Many women echoed her sentiment, noting that relationships grounded in trust and protection foster deeper connection, loyalty, and mutual respect. By framing safety as a “superpower,” Ng’ang’a challenges traditional notions of masculinity, encouraging men to recognize that their ability to nurture and protect can be far more impactful than material displays of love.
Her post, simple yet profound, serves as both advice and a gentle challenge: for love to flourish, men must not just provide—they must protect, respect, and create spaces where women can feel truly safe.
