Kenyan women fume as men abscond to Valentine's Day conference

Kenyan women are not happy with their men who have chosen to abscond valentine's day celebration to attend a Men's Conference.

In what that started as a joke that on social media, the suggestion that men tell their other halves that they are attending a Men's Conference - has become a reality.

According to the BBC, an actual Men's Conference is being held at a five-star hotel in the capital, Nairobi.

Participants can be seen discussing different topics, including leadership in households and mentoring of young men, according to a video shared by a local TV station on social media.

A panel of male speakers have been exchanging religious and cultural views on relationships:

However, the conference has been criticised for allowing women in the audience.

"The #MensConference that is being televised on Citizen is a Joke. How are women allowed in a men's only function. This is just evident enough that some 'elites' want to hijack the event and make profits from it. Without Mzee Kibor, Issa scam.#MensConference2020," tweeted Bravin.

"We are informed of some mediocre parody of the #MensConference2020 happening on Citizen TV. Kindly boycott, avoid, ignore and block, it has been pushed by feminine agenda. Be informed the #MenConference2020 is a private thing with top-notch secrecy," Kushnah wrote.
