Nduma This, Nduma That: KOT Chokes On Nduma Jokes

The break-up between Frankie and Corazon Kwamboka might have fizzled out and is no longer on the trends list but a new topic of discussion was tabled for Kenyans on Twitter to chew on.

This new name on the trends is a breakfast staple ‘Nduma’ which is a kikuyu word for arrowroots. Allegedly, Corazon Kwamboka dumped fitness instructor Frankie JustGymIt because he is broke and he has pushed her to the point of eating Nduma for breakfast.

While Nduma for breakfast betokens poverty in the eyes of the mother of two, many Kenyans beg to differ because the price of Nduma has shot up and it is ranked highly on the healthy eating scale. To others, Nduma is an envy of meals and is sometimes eaten only during big festivities.

Well, Kenyan’s default response to reality is always poking fun of it. With this, Nduma has now earned another meaning apart from being a noun for the breakfast food. It is also a pun that means, “to do my…” Example in a sentence, let me nduma tasks for now.

One Dr. Dennis Ouma on Twitter, says it is nutritious and enriched with nutrients like Calcium, Potassium, Iron, and dietary fiber compared to other processed food alternatives.

Others would want to refute that nduma is for broke people.


Then, the wordplay geniuses tried their wit with the most hilarious puns.
