I always wonder how we managed to go on with life without phones

why is “nyukwa” looked upon as a derogatory term? And is “maitu” a mother or grandma?

Nyukwa is not abusive at all. That is the proper kikuyu for “yo mama”.

Tell them.

Na ukisema Cugwo, yaani your grandma, is it demeaning? Or thogwo-your father? Why is it only nyukwa that sounds demeaning? Wacheni zenu.

Fathers were the ones who used that term on the kids and it usually did not refer to the mum with affection
