Winnie Odinga: I Haven’t Found a Confident Kenyan Man to Marry Me
East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP Winnie Odinga says she is single for the first time in nine years and is looking for a potential suitor.
In a recent interview with a local publication, Winnie noted that she is yet to find a “confident man” to marry her as those she has met before “chickened out”.
“I am single after nine years and enjoying life but I am still looking for a Kenyan man especially. I don’t mind other cultures but we all want someone who understands you and most of the time that someone is from your culture,” the 33-year-old said.
She added: “I haven’t found that confident Kenyan man yet. Those I have met start by saying they are confident, then our conversations turn into politics and when baba [Raila Odinga] calls they get shocked and chicken out.”
Winnie, who is the last-born daughter of Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga, admitted that she has been under pressure from her mother Ida in the past few years to get married.
"My mother started (the marriage talk) a couple of years ago but I told her to cool down on that talk…I am young. I'm having fun. I'm in my 30s living life...There is a lot of science these days I can have a child when I am 80," she added.
She noted that the confidence she has was instilled by her father, whom she described as her best friend.
“A woman’s confidence comes from her father. My dad and I are boys. He is very understanding and takes time to understand me,” she said.

At the rate stone throwers are dying from your dad's violent demos, you might as well tell your mom to wait when you are 80 and your dad is gone to get a single stone thrower anyways!
Then stay single, must you be married, you have it all right?
Whose problem is it that you have not found a confident man? Shenzi
Wee shoga wacha stori mob. Toka tu kwa wardrobe nobody cares as long as you don’t try to shove that nonsense down our throats
Confident Kenyan men are not interested in well connected (politically) older women.Those men are only interested in 20 year olds side chicks.
@ Nathan Njau,spot on.What does she offer the confident men? Confident men know what they want and it ain't that... Besides that can you imagine dating her,and Raila telling her,"should this thing lead to the alter,make sure the bloke signs prenuptuals.We dont want anybody harvesting where they did not sow.We have too much.Nyasaye has rained abundance on us,in addition to what I have aquired with my jasho".
Shut uo big loud mouth! All you do here is gossip like a Toddler!
MMmmmm toddlers gossip? Amazing.
“Jasho”??? You are nothing less than a male prostitute! You dip in anything with 1 1/2 legs and you call that work!?
Why are you attacking me for supporting a comment I like?Strange.
Shash.. don't aggravate me or I undress you with the truth! I still got the crazy texts you wrote me from Tampa while I was visiting Miami from New York!!
Hahhaha what animal is that with 1.5 legs?
It's difficult to recognize one's own use by date. I suspect hers has come and gone but she's unaware. I remember in my youth a young lady who played games with men, yours truly included. The men moved on All these years later she's still alone. She may not need a man but I doubt she planned on always being alone. As for Miss Odinga I would suggest investing in cats. The wealthy and the successful will always go for eye candy and she just isn't.
@ Mundumugo, what magic are you using to wardoff attacks? If I had said the same thing you have said here,I would have a trackload of insults...mainly from women.Iwould like a portion of that herb.Please.
Even is I say something as innocuous as"she shouldn't just sit pretty and wait for the knight in shining armor" I will be attacked.Direct me to your Mganga before these women castrate me.
This may not be intelligible due to language(the language won't matter) but in times of strife, it's very calming. So put on your headphones, grab an ice cold Heineken listen and relax.

Actually i'ts very good for relaxing.Thanks.I will have one heineken for you.
Oh wait there's always Gachagua, he looks like Tim Scott mated with a squirrel and he confidently spouts rubbish.
It’s highly likely that it’s the other way around!!!
U look like ur dad, nobody wants to marry Raila with a dress.
Stop it @shaka! Do you have to be always mean? The girl is very cute! And mind you, Raila is a very handsome man!
Men marry for looks.It's the same a biological imperative that women are attracted to men of power and wealth(money) who can provide and protect.My advice,don't get married! There is no need to. Inherit your dad's golden handshake$ wealth and live your own life.Stop complaining about men and be happy with your freedom. If you want a kid, have a kid. Plenty of women in much harder circumstances have kids without being married. But if you think getting married to a confident man means happiness for life...just ask those divorce lawyers from your home county!
Hypergamy is the preferred way to go.Yes.However @Nathan Njau, it's a little more complicated than that. I happen to known athing or two in that department.Of course,Iam not they only' GURU'...
See it makes evolutionary sense for a woman to go for a man with resourse,especially if he can be generous with them.This esures greater probability of the kids surviving. And here is the kicker. She is actually attracted to aman who could provide good genes(good children) So she will mate with the ALPHA male,and have the resourceful husband provide food,and shelter;Cuckolding.
It is more and more getting traction that only about 20% of men are attractive to women.This is more obvious in the western world. The main reason being that women no longer need a man's resource since they can generate their own.This explains why there is a high rate of divorce in the western world.Not the only reaon of course.Man providing resources is no longer enough.Is there any wonder that 80% divorces are initiated by women?
However,marriage is not for everybody.And for those who still want to get hitched, using the old model of man being the boss of the house,be prepared for divorce shortly there after...We need anew model that approaches some semblance of equality.Yes,I iknow this is tough to swallow for an african man. Anyway, the bottom line is to take time and find a partner you can get along with while it lasts..A partiner with similar values.
And yes men go for looks first.Again its not just the merely the esthetics.It is the youthfulness. Biology has programmed men to know unconsciously that young women are more likely to bear children than older women.That's what is going on when a man sees abeautiful young woman and wants to mount her.In turn the beauty 'checks' him out to see what kind of house,car,and work he does.Does he have resources.
And as we all know,nothing in nature is 'linear'.Which means that despite all these matchups of hypergamy,and youth,most human beings will mate without problems of finding a mate.We are about 10 billion persons in the world,that's atestament to my last statement.
@#Maxiley:-I agree with with your observations but with so many boxes these single (high earning) women insist on being ticked, they'll just ensure that their own box never gets ticked.The sort of image of a confident man that many of these women are looking for is already married to young hot chicks for the second time around.And that's where their disadvantages and loss lies!
You gossip like a bitch @maximillian! Did Akothee ever turn you down or did you intend to marry her male mzungu?
You sound like those Luhyas that like to cut others down while the log in your eye is so humongous and too heavy to handle! Don't you have your own choice of significant other, and especially among the men you get drunk and hit the suck together?
Akothee has taken the mzungu dude so find another one in your Tampa neighborhood.
Mercifully received. Thank you.
I am having a mature discource with Nathan Njau.Why are you badging in. May be you can learn some decorum from him.See how he agrees with my views without insults?Did i touch a sensiutive nerve- ha haha Sory. Unintended.
A mature discourse coming from a moron who disrespects women he does not know? Come on silly dude; grow up! Your mama failed you quite badly. She failed to teach you manners at an early age. You are very immature!
I dont know what mind bending drugs you are on.Which woman did I disrespect,and how so?Explain.
You better be glad you are out of my back slap reach you bitch!
I dont see anywhere in Maxiley's comment the name' Akothee'.Show me?
Actually what @ Maxiley has stated in his commentary can be backed by studies/research. As for luhyas,and logs,I dont see them mentioned by Max.You must be hallucination@ Mercy Karen
Youthfulness - so you say @maxiley. Now I understand why you got caught with 14 year old kid the other day!
Her looks were not all that top notch either. Please do not give advise of something you have failed to do.
You cannot even talk to a real grown woman - whats up with that ….boy??. Did Akothee and Winnie reject you?
It must be because you have written a whole newspaper about them. Shame on you!
Iam terribly a shamed. Do you think that It would help if I went to Mt.Kenya,and did my supplication there while swimming naked in the stream by the base of the mountain? Do I have to be a kikuyu to do that?Let me know.
Well, we have Weta with Gathoni! All we hear is how Gathoni beats up Weta when he comes home drunk. We cant afford to have another coward Luhya in the name of @maxiley in our community. Diluting our Kikuyu pride will not be tolerated. Just hang on your Mexican short legged girls from Tijuana! They are not tall enough to reach your chin and pull out the fake beards you pup-port to own.
I suggest you go back to school and learn to answer questions asked.Please re-read my comment,and provided some inteligent answer after school.
I will let @Jane deal with your nonsense you silly Luhya lad! I dont argue with a Kihii! Go attempt to get in Jane’s Panties!!
Folks,there is no mystery here. In the wake of the just happened wedding of her'sister' to a mzungu.She would not be out done. This is her way of saying that -only wazungu need apply.
When it comes to a mzungu, forget confidence.He could be the least confident of the suitors,but would top the list because of his skin color.A gay sisy, looking mzungu would top a six foot five nigro with ragged good looks and a 'wallet' to boot. That's the sorry state of being brain washed to worship wazungu.
@maxiley - are you addressing Winnie’s issues from a personal experience? It is well document that you love them very short and fat Mexican women whose ass go dusting the entire street! Please let them women chose whichever suitors they want. None of them ever commented about your toxic desire to sleep (have sex) with billions of Chiwawas. Shut your long bick!
Hey Baba baby gal, you have not met me yet! I am hard core confident in every way. I am well learned and widely traveled. A proud self made guy!
I got a chunk of my own money and a 2 bedroom Crib! I I got a 1/4 acre of fertile land where you and I can cultivate Waru and Miji together. I got a few goats and some milk cows; and 4 huge bulls.
I am a big supporter of Baba Man! I will even learn how to throw one or two stones during Maandamano if that is what it will take to hook up with ya.
I don't speak Doluo but I am willing to take a crush course. Will you teach me how to eat Omena?
Come on gal, I am ready for you!
Winnie Odinga, please contact me at KenHoustoninHouston@gmail.mail. I would ike to talk to you
Wewe ndugu wacha hio fitina! Huyu mrembo mimi nimechukua. I will be talking to Mama Ida soon! Usiniharibie…
You better have cash, the rich in Kenya stay with the rich. You might have a chance since the wealthy have so far decided against closing the deal. Also remember lakeside and mountain marriage customs are quite different. Bone up on that and prep for naked streakers - good luck
No man! I am good with my 1/4 acre of land and a few animals in it; plus a 2 bed sitter house. I am very wealthy 😊 🙏!! The tides are soon changing! The poor need support too!
I plan to be eating that golden Omena soon. Everything she owns will be ours once I get adopted to the family. You just watch this biz!!
🤣🤣🤣. With Raila rallies might I suggest a mobile kiosk business, say Raila Rally Rock Rialto (with a name like that no one will know your origins). Utaweza kuuza mawe hadi jioni. Don't accept cash, only m-pesa, debit or credit card, all sales final and absolutely no refunds on unused product
My Brother from the Mulimani - surely what a fabulous business idea! I just need to make it sound more elegant and larger than life to compliment the Luo traditions.
I also need to practice the difference in pronouncing the “R” from “L” and vis-vis in my spoken late Queen’s English.. We from the Mountain get this all mixed up to a point we sound illiterate and country!
Mundu wa Nyumba - kweli! But the beauty queen says tribe does not matter. As you may know Raila Jr is married in Muranga. I have done a little research Bro!
Standing at 6’2”, very dark, handsome and athletically inclined - Tennis and Golf player, 29 years young, and with degrees in Biophysics, I think I stand a chance.
I am trying to stay clean here not to end up like @Maxiley. The ladies have really put his business out here to the bitter end! Well, I feel him!
You're 29 so listen to an older person. Do these things daily- 1) thikīrīria 2) gūra mahūa 3) mchekeshe 4) provide and protect
5) serenade(ina rwīmbo)- google nyau īrīaga mbīa learn it and sing it or hire someone to do it for you
Nyumba, you are really deep in your vernacular Bro! I understood roughly over 1/2 but your advise sounds pretty good. I will take you along with me on that ngurario day to negotiate!
Ahhhh.I just figure out that women attacking me are disappointed that I have revealed their secret.They are also afraid that men will now be stingy with resources since these greedy women want men's resources in addition to theirs. Hey, men wake up. If you are a man and you are attacking me, you are just a simp.Man up. Iam now ready for more attacts...
A guy that counts coins in Tampa’s liquor store can not brag of having any money for any woman to want to get from him. Maybe @maxiley is talking about the illegal Mexican whores he trades around for dome extra coins. This old geek Maxiley is crazy.
Good! At least you have acknowledged what I have been saying.Women want men's resourses /money.And yes I dont have money to give to women.I am fine with that.
