    In Kenya, "sugar daddy" relationships are out in the open - in nightclubs, on campuses, and all over social media. But is the search for a rich "sponsor" driven by poverty or vanity? @MissNyashaK explores one of the continent's hottest social issues https://bbc.in/2BYrSRf pic.twitter.com/UmwsfNRtgc

        This agenda is driven by an immoral,lazy,ignorant bunch of people most of which are teenagers who like short cuts in life.The moral decadence in the current society cannot be helped in any way as the guardians and religious leaders are all sailing in the same boat.
