Kenyans Voted Ugliest in Africa

Printer-friendly versionPDF version

Kenyans were last weekend voted the funniest looking people in Africa. With 48 participating nations in the Annual Most Beautiful People of Africa Awards, held at the Gregor Theater in Bloemfontein SA, Kenya took the last position, dislodging Zambia and reclaiming the title it held in 2000.

It posted 7 points out of a possible 540 points. The top position was taken by Rwanda, followed by Cameroon and then Ethiopia as second runner up. The last three positions were Kenya at 48, Zambia at 47, then Gabon, at 46. The judges said they gave their points based on presentation, physical appearance, grooming, communication and other areas.

Coincidentally this came just a week after an article on Kenyans appeared in the Pretorian Bird. The article, in the entertainment section, claims Kenya has the funniest looking president on earth, and a VP with a strange looking head. It goes on to say that Kikuyu women and Luo men pose the most weird features.

"Women from the Kikuyu community have small legs, totally no figures, and a little exeggerated heads. They lack good behinds and those who have them look like inflated baloons.They are shaped like pyramids turned upside down.A big upper frame and an almost inviscible lower bit.

Luo men on the other side have distorted facial features..say big lips and huge noses or should we call them knobs. Kikuyu men are also unproportional, and most of them are stunted. They walk leaning foward. Plus they have long rusty teeth."

"Those from Kisii Districts are small people, the average Kenyan man will stop growing at 5'2"...5'4" tops. Kisii men have mango shaped heads, and bowed legs, a feature also common in in their Luhya counterparts."

He goes on to describe Kaleos as "Funny little pitch black emaciated fellows, raking in millions from the track. However long they'll remain in Europe, their features never improve". "Nandis will have rounded foreheads, and thin, long arms". While occupants at the coast province are said to have "Wide faces, almost like a widescreen telly, especially taitas,and durumas"

"Kenyans do not know the meaning of good grooming" The writer says. "The women hate their dark skins and opt for mercury bleachs which mess them up. The result: A scary (unpigmented)light face, black legs, and a black back". As much as the Kenyan accent, of standard english is admired, "there's too much mothertounge interference, common in Merus, Kisiis, and Kikuyus".

While Luos were pointed out as to be suffering from chronic 'braggitis'. The research funded by the institute of Primate Research at the University of St. Kenkley, also noted that Kenyan men are very marketable in the Kimberely area of SA and parts of the Guateng region. Reason, they are big, hopeless spenders.

Moral lesson, "Be careful dating a Kenyan online." Accepting the Award Ambassador Kinyesi, complained of biased judging. Also present were dignitaries from all around Africa.

While it may be true that our physical features may not be as appealing to the eye the very fact that people have the time and resources to conduct such an activity is what is ugly about this whole thing. While Africa is plagued with serious issues such as healthcare, infrastructure, education, corruption we are focusing our energies on "who is the ugliest". Now that we have established this fact ...what next ? Sad !

With their ugly shapes tell me why are they the most marketable women in Kenya. Most tribes want to get married to a kyuk.

So funny article. I laughed for hours when reading this..anyway, I thought Kenyans were most beautiful in the world. Funny how "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". I think the beholder in this article was blind..Nigerians,Ghanians, infact all Western Africa has very ugly people, you can confuse them with monkeys

CLEARLY WE AS AFRICANS HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON OUR HANDS CONCENTRATING IN STUFF THAT REALLY DOES NOT HELP US AS A CONTINENT. WTF IS THIS SHIT ANYWAY?? SHOULDN'T WE BE WORKING ON WAYS OF HELPING US FORGE TOGETHER AS A PEOPLE , INSTEAD OF WORKING ON WAYS TO CREATE RIFTS BETWEEN US? I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS CRAP WAS ACTUALLY UNDERTAKEN BY GROWN UP INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE PRIDE IN THEMSELVES FOR BEING AFRICANS. WHAT DO THINK PEOPLE FROM OTHER CONTINENTS THINK WHEN THEY SEE THIS?

I wonder if people that write these articles take time to research on them. I did a simple google search on the Institute of primate research of the University St. Kenkley. The institute does not exist and neither does that university. I am not Kenyan but I find this article insulting, biased and disconnected from reality. I believe the person who wrote just hate Kenyans and Africans in general. How else can we concieve that it is a primate research institute that does the contest. Are we as Africans primate to have those who deal with them determine which monkey looks better than the on the on the continent?

This is understandable coming from SA. Its retaliatory remarks. Their men have tried to date Kenyan women to no avail n Kenyan men r taking their girlfriends. Anyway an idle mind is a devil's workshop.

I laughed so hard when i read this- but my mum saw it and just blew...Seriously though, Kenyans are beautiful people and not just because of our diversified culture or great land, but purely on a physical standpoint. Yes am biased coz am Kenyan and proudly so. and biased too coz I'm Kikuyu. Anyhu, am laughing it off:-))

It obviously depends, and it's all subjective. One can say that the Luhya's are more interesting, others will say, no the Maasai. But one thing seems sure: the Kenyans seem to be obsessed with race, ethnicity and skin colour.
