  • kikuyu tycoons....

  • According to recent studies there is just as much "medical evidence" to suggest that female circumcision, specifically removal of the clitoral hood and trimming of the labia minora, is more hygienic than male circumcision. You don't need a PhD to know that the vagina is dirtier than the penis. Women are much more likely to devlop urinary tract infections than men.

    It is totally hypocratical to defend circumcision of boys and men, while denouncing circumcision of girls and women.

  • But according to recent research studies circumcision has been proved to be both hygienic and healthy.Christians jews and muslims practice this old tradition.But get me right female circumcision is both primitive and unacceptable.Female genital mutilation is a crime.

  • they do this shit to women, in the sierra leone its called bondo

  • Proud to be a Kikuyu: Thai thayaiya Ngai thaii, lets our culture be as it used to be, mararanja, nyimbo cia irua,.. na turekie maritwa ma andu eru ta aa John, Andrew, Firestone, Gabriel etc. Ni tuchokerere mitugo itu, thengiu!!!!-- Mugikuyu karing'a.
