Mike Okombe, the 27 year old TopFry Nakuru RFC player was slain yester night by his 37 year old lover, Maryanne Mumbi.

Let’s set their age difference aside, even for a minute, and address the elephant in the room; their middle names (for lack of better diction)
Theirs was the typical Luo-Kikuyu relationship which till of late was a normal thing. A non-issue even till the recently concluded polls. Currently, with the #Resist call from the NRM, even romantic relationships are suffering.
After my afternoon round on social media, it is now pretty obvious that we might have to brace ourselves for ethnic profiling before getting romantically involved with anyone. The heart can no longer get what it wants till the middle name(s) give the go-ahead. With members of certain communities being labelled thieves and killers, others lads (in the meanest sense of the word), it is becoming increasingly hard to love with the heart. Unless of course you are loving a member of “your people”.
“If only he had listened to Baba… #resist” reads a comment.
Listening to baba in this context referring to Mike Okombe staying away for his Kikuyu lover. And in all honesty I agree with the tweep. If at all you are going to get into a relationship with such a mindset, anything is bound to happen. Kindly #resist
Mike Okombe’s Misdeeds?
But Mike Okombe had done no wrong loving a woman from the other side of the rift. He never let the age difference come between them. All he did was love a woman. A woman who decided to end his life. Over a petty duel at a party.
Sleeping with the enemy?
I foresee a time when this question will dominate dowry talks. A time when no one will be allowed to marry from their own tribe for fear of such things happening. And that time might be soon.
Does age really matter?
I don’t know anymore! But if celebrities are anything to go by, it probably doesn’t. But you could ask Bahati. He’s dating and older woman
Who’ll save the boychild?
Superman asked me the same question a while back. I don’t have the answer either.
But for peet’s sake, will you let others mourn in peace? Death and sorrow respects no tribe!
