mathree

A partial translation of Swahili -tatu (“three”) in matatu.

This has been going on for a while - ever since I came of drinking age and quickly learnt that a version of the truth on most national or local matters or at least an inkling can be found in the stranger sitting next to me in the pub; that woman in the mathree; that cab-driver late at night.

2007, Billy Kahora, Binyavanga Wainaina, Kwani?:

(Kenya, slang, Sheng) Synonym of matatu.

After Ezekiel Kemboi, a Kenyan runner. Despite Kemboi being a runner, the word is not used for run but to run away from a bad situation.

Pritty Vishi's mother shared a heartbreaking account of the severe mistreatment she endured from her employer in Saudi Arabia for over a year before she made the courageous decision to escape which they call "Kukemboi".

2023 October 23, Irene Kinja, “My Boss Kids Used To Insult Me And Beat Me Up, Pritty Vishi's Mom Says”, in Waza News (in English):

Kemboi can also be used as a verb, meaning to flee one’s employer.

2023 February 27, Audrey Travère, “Who are the ‘dalalas’? The middlemen preying on trapped domestic staff in Saudi Arabia”, in The Observers (in English):

(Sheng) to run away, flee, escape (from an employer or a bad situation)

2022 April 8, Grace Kerongo, “From Waiguru to Kemboi: Popular slang used by Kenyans in Gulf”, in Mpasho (in English):

mumama class I (canonical)
waumama class II (plural)

They are commonly known as sugar daddies and sugar mummies. They are older men and women who opt to date – and sometimes marry – younger partners on the expectation that they would fund their soft lives. In Kenyan parlance, they nowadays go by the nicknames mubaba (older moneyed man), mumama (older moneyed women), sponsors, blessers and Aunty wa Harrier among other names.

2023 November 14, Winnie Mabel, “5 benefits of dating a mubaba/mumama other than financial gain”, in Nairobi News (in English):


mubaba

mubaba class I (canonical)
wababa class II (plural)
mubabaz (alternative)

The term mubaba, popular in Kenya, denotes an older rich man who spoils young girls or young boys, with gifts and money, in exchange for sex and other favours.

2022 September 23, Joseph Obel, “‘Mstinji’ Review: A Discombobulated Way to Finding a Stingy Mubaba”, in Sinema Focus (in English):

Some call them ‘mubaba’, others call them ‘sugar daddies’ or 'sponsors' while others have coined the name ‘blessers’, borrowed from the social media trend of young women, posting photos of living lavish lifestyles – funded by older men - with the hashtag blessed.

2023 September 26, “'I got into a relationship with a mubaba to fund my lifestyle and I regret it': Campus student speaks”, in Citizen Digital (in English):

A mubaba in Kenya is a term used to refer to men that have side chicks and pay their bills.

2023 August 23, Maureen Waruinge, “Wasted sin - Kenyan woman lists 4 categories who don't qualify to be 'Wababas"”, in Mpasho (in English):

Some of us wish to be her, some are jealous of her but all of us know she is out here emptying a much older man’s bank account. That man is simply known as Mubaba who appears to be keen to spoil her side lady in exchange for good times. But there is no talk of settling down in that relationship because he likely has a wife and grown-up kids.

2022 March 9, Esther Nyandoro, “March 9th, 2022”, in Nairobi News (in English):

It’s hard for ladies who are already exploring the ‘mubaba’ lifestyle to be happy with their boyfriends. Chances are that their man makes way less than the old guy they’re seeing and that can make them bitter and resentful towards you.

2022 May 20, Esther Muchene, “How to know your girlfriend has a 'Mubaba'”, in The Standard (in English):


mstinji

‘Mstinji’ is Kenyan urban slang for ‘stingy’ people, Uncle Scrooge-type characters.

2023 September 23, Martin Oduor, “‘I dated mubabaz who paid my rent’ – Karen Nyamu”, in K24 (in English):

Wababaz, as they are called, are wealthy and their fortune allows them to attract dozens of younger women looking for financial assistance in exchange for love relationships.

2022 April 16, Wangeci Thuo, “Why young women gravitate towards ‘wababaz’”, in The Informer (in English):
