@Intelli. Esther says she met Helon 2 years ago...kwani ni relas na hawajuani jameni?

I think it's very unfair and irrational to conclude that children raised in single parent homes turn out weird etc. I was raised by a single mum and i believe i turned out well. very well in fact.so stop bashing single women. They are very strong individuals who sometimes due to circumstances beyond their control have to take up the sole responsibility of raising kids the best way they know how. Wether your husband dies,takes off,goes to jail..etc and you have to raise your kids alone is to me,a huge challenge and i deeply respect women and men who raise kids on their own. Kids can chose to turn out weird wether in single or double parent settings.
I strongly believe that how you turn out in life dosent depend on where you were raised or by whom.It solely depends on YOU as an individual and its about time people stopped blaming their environment,parents,neighbours,politicians..etc for how they turn out in life. We have the capability to be accountable of our own lives.we hold the key to our present & future,not our past. These blame games are what kill our society because we always look for someone to blame. What Esther is doing or will do in future is her sole responsibility and blaming her Mum is very unreasonable.

Esther Arunga's father is very much alive and he is an elder at SDA church. His name is Bob Arunga. in The true love issue which featured Esther Arunga she spoke about her father, also read this blog for more info.

Apologies are in order guys, the father is actually alive (and here I am busy killing him!)- a retired consultant who once worked at the Min. of Foreign Affairs. He is expected to talk to the media soon about the entire matter.

I have edited that part in my earlier post so that we don't misinform. I take responsibility for the error, nasikitika.

By the way, the confirmation that she comes from a 2-parent family kind of renders this thread useless, as Arunga is not a classic case of a child raised by a single mother,huh? Plus those who were using her as an example now need to look far and beyond for more examples!!

@Leona Spot on!! a person is born with the ability to choose and the fact the he/she will have one parent will not determine the person he/she will become.

Intellegentia, stop getting into areas you do not know, for the record Dr.Bob Arunga was until recently and for a longtime a senior official of the Addis Ababa based United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.

identical twins raised in different environments show different personality traits.

There is definitely an effect on a child's character if the child is raised by a single dad or mum. The position of a child in the family also matters. First borns are headlong and like to have their way. They are likely to be CEOs. Second borns are more rebellious and are ready to go into uncharted waters like enterprise. Middle children are diplomatic but are more likely to suffer identity crisis. Last borns are easy going and likely to venture into creative areas like art, theatre and music.

@sparkly, no comment. I have just been cracked up by Njoroge of papa....dude has really said it as it is, of thieving men openning churches to lie to the gullible youth n mislead them to leave their high profile jobs to join the churches. Reminds me of Jobn De'mathew's legendary hit song, 'ÙRATHI WA MA' (true prophecy). Easther will be ok coz God 'ndaríaga ngima'. Tafakari hayo n gd nite pple.

@Djinn,
Here, here.

Or as Jack Bauer would say, Copy that.
