Blogger Maverick Aoko has sharply criticized radio presenter Maina Kageni, accusing him of misleading Kenyan women and perpetuating negative stereotypes about Kenyan men. Known for her outspoken opinions, Aoko took offense to Kageni's remarks suggesting that women should only date wealthy men, specifically highlighting Congolese and Nigerian men, while disregarding Kenyan men.
Aoko began by praising Kageni's radio talent, acknowledging his captivating voice and engaging personality. She said, "You have a great voice for radio, you play great music, and your personality is likable." However, she quickly shifted to criticize his advice, accusing him of misleading women by promoting shallow dating standards.
Aoko expressed her frustration, sharing that she had stopped listening to Classic 105's morning show because of Kageni’s discussions on gender. She now prefers listening to Spice FM's "Situation Room," where they discuss more meaningful topics like governance. Despite this, she admitted that she still listens to Classic 105 at night for the slow jams with Dr. Love but sometimes comes across Kageni’s online conversations, where he advises women to prioritize wealth when choosing partners.

Aoko labeled Kageni's advice as short-sighted, arguing that it encourages women to prioritize wealth and nationality over love and respect. She urged him to use his platform more responsibly by promoting family values and unity, rather than fostering division between Kenyan men and women.
Her remarks have ignited an online debate among Kenyans, with some supporting Aoko's stance, while others have strongly criticized her comments.
