Social media activist Francis Gaitho has stirred the internet with bold advice for men: cherish living alone.
In an X post, Gaitho warned that cohabiting with women comes with “commercialized rules” – from wiping the toilet seat to scented candles and expensive cleaning gels.
He described these household routines as a product of corporate influence, designed to turn bathrooms into “sterile showrooms.”
But Gaitho’s argument goes beyond chores. He emphasized the health benefits of living solo, pointing out that natural urine observations – like color, foam, and smell – can reveal early signs of dehydration, kidney or liver issues, and even blood sugar problems.
“Cloudy? Dehydrated. Foamy? Protein issues. Sweet smell? Check blood sugar,” he wrote.
“Stay sovereign in your castle. Keep that throne room raw and real. Protect your peace – and your free health checks,” Gaitho added, urging men to maintain privacy and personal autonomy.
The post has sparked mixed reactions online. Supporters praise the advocacy for male independence, while critics argue it reinforces gender stereotypes.
Either way, Gaitho’s message is clear: living alone may be more than a lifestyle—it’s a personal superpower.
The conversation shows ongoing debates in Kenyan society about household dynamics, personal freedom, and lifestyle choices, particularly in urban settings where living arrangements are evolving rapidly.
