Gospel singer Justina Syokau has once again sent social media into a frenzy with her latest post, where she laid out her expectations for a potential husband after 11 years of being single.

Known for her bold and flamboyant personality, Justina’s post detailed the qualities she seeks in her next partner, and the responses have been as colorful as her demands.

In her social media post, Justina made it clear that she is ready to "mingle with a rich man aged 40 years and above" who must be physically fit, specifically noting, "a man without kitambi (potbelly)."

She further specified that he must be able to handle "mastyle deadly deadly," be faithful, generous, responsible, and most importantly, ready to father six children.

“Single 11Yrs KUTU inanimaliza. Ready to mingle with a rich man aged 40yrs and above, a man without kitambi, mwenye anawezana na mastyle deadly deadly, Faithful man, Generous Man, Responsible (a man who is able to plant a seed, water it, protect it, yaani tukinzaa alee watoto). A man who loves going on vacations around the world with me. Now I’m mature, ready for Bwana number 2. Finally, he must be fertile, ready to give me 6 children,” Justina wrote.

The post quickly garnered attention, with social media users reacting in various ways. Some found her list amusing, while others offered advice or pointed out the challenges in her search. Jossy humorously commented, "Am a hundred percent ? you will get that man when you download him from Playstore."

Another user, Moses Kyalo, suggested that Justina focus on her spiritual and personal growth: "What you have not found in 11yrs was never meant for you. What if you focus on your hustles, ministry, and serve the Lord? Don’t let 11yrs drawn just like that because of kutu. If you can do 11 years alone and haven’t died, then you’re a strong woman. Don’t settle for less."

Others, like Joseph Sumba, were skeptical about her expectations, saying, "Faithful and rich not in the same sentence.. better use the word committed maybe.. 40yrs Rich man without a family on which planet???"

Nakhulo Carren joked that Justina might be looking for several men in one: "Those are ten different men ?na ukipata hizi qualities zote kwa mmoja please usinisahau."

Justina’s post comes months after she made headlines for publicly advertising her search for a billionaire husband.

In a video shared earlier this year, she was seen holding a placard in the streets of Nairobi with the message that she was “ready to get married before 2024.” However, her requirements for a husband were anything but simple.

Justina demanded a diamond ring from Congo worth five million shillings, a dowry of two billion shillings to be paid in Machakos, and a lavish wedding on a yacht in Dubai. She also insisted that her future husband must gift her a private chopper.

In the video, she stated, "The first thing is you put on a finger a Diamond ring from Congo. It should cost five million shillings." She continued, "I want a billionaire. Dowry payment is in Machakos my home, You must pay two billion."

Justina’s extravagant wedding plans also included a reception that could only be reached by helicopter.

"The third thing is my wedding should be in Dubai. In Dubai, we will hold our wedding on a yacht. Then after that, you must fly me to the reception venue in a chopper. I am tired of traveling with cars, I want my mode of transport from now on to be in choppers."

In an interview with Mungai Eve in 2023, Justina revealed that her quest for love has been challenging, particularly because many men have rejected her after learning that she has a child.

"Mi nina mtoto mmoja na nina miaka kumi hapa nje pekee yangu. Unakuta tukipatana na watu pale nje watu wanakataa mtoto tu mmoja."

She expressed her frustration, saying, "Nimekataliwa mara mingi. Wakati unaambia mwanaume uko na mtoto anaona ni burden. Unakuta alikuwa na appetite ya kuwa na wewe, alikuwa na mpango anataka kukuoa. The moment unamwambia wewe ni single mother uko na mtoto unaona ameboeka."

Justina concluded by saying that being a single mother should not be seen as a negative.

"So kuwa na mtoto si kuwa na maisha mabaya. At least mimi nilikuwa nimeolewa. Kuna wasichana mtu alipata mimba class eight na amesoma hadi university, huwezi kataa msichana yule juu hajaolewa."
