  • How To Find Your Kenergy and Be Kenough

    Behind every great Barbie, there’s a Ken. But before you can be the neck to your Barbie’s head, you need to know that you’re kenough

    Here’s seven ways you can be the Kenest Ken to ever Ken the surface of the earth.

    Dye your hair blonde or pink

    It’s widely known that a newly-done hairstyle boosts confidence. To 1000x your kenergy power, the first ken-essential is to handle how you look.

    Stop jumping from one relationship to another

    Stick with your Barbie and be her best Ken ever. Changing partners as frequently as Nigerian politicians change their mouths will not give you the satisfaction you seek. You might be the problem here, dear.

    Watch Barbie in the cinema now

    Even though peer pressure has no control over you, have you thought this can be the last Barbie movie ever, Mr. Hard Guy?

    To fully grasp why you should be like Ken, you have  to watch and experience him on film. 

    Wear colour pink once in a while

    Mix things up. Is it everyday you’ll be doing black-black like you’re a member of Isakaba?

    Try to meditate

    Find some quiet, kneel down and do some soul searching in the corner of your room. Maybe some minutes of that daily will help you refocus your chakras and kenergy. If you have to play a sound, find meditation playlists online, not every time afroadura.

    Look into therapy

    Always treat your personal issues before jumping into relationships. You’re not too grown to see a shrink. In fact, the longer you hold out, the bigger the trauma you’ll have to  unpack later. If you don’t pity yourself, do it for Barbie.

    Sometimes put yourself first

    Omo, you need to wake up and realise you’re 001. There’s no award for being Black Jesus. Barbie knows this and will never miss a chance to tell you:

    While we’re still hoping and praying to have a partner as loving as Ken is to Barbie, these men have graduated from the school of Ken and are loving their partners right.

    Louis in The Men’s Club

    One thing’s for certain, Louis has fully accepted that he’s just Ken, and Lola is everything. Doesn’t matter what happens, what she does, or what hoops he has to jump through to make her happy, he’ll do anything to put a smile on her face.

    Kevin in Isoken

    Kevin was always just happy to just be around Isoken, it didn’t matter if they were dancing, hopping kekes to Balogun market, or listening to Fela. He was willing and ready to try anything, as long as he got to do it with her.

    Tunde in Flower Girl

    He put aside everything to help Kemi get her man back. Tunde was determined to help her keep her happiness, even if that meant watching the woman he loved fawn over her idiot of an ex.

    Mide in Skinny Girl in Transit

    After a long list of badly behaved men, Mide stepped into Tiwa’s life. At first, it was a little rocky, but he understood fast that he couldn’t do life without Tiwa. Now every time we see them on screen, Tiwa has a big smile on her face, and he looks like he’s astonished by his good fortune.

    Dimeji in Love is War

    Obviously, Dimeji graduated from the Ken School of Supportive Partners with distinctions. The man supported Hankuri and her ambitions, even when that meant he had to take the back seat. He just wanted to see his queen shine in every way she could.

    Deji in The Royal Hibiscus Hotel

    This Ken walked into that hotel with a plan- buy it, sign the papers, and leave, but he saw his Barbie and all previous plans came to a halt. Deji was so in love with Ope he didn’t just pause his plans, he tweaked them completely and ended up buying the hotel in Ope’s name.

    Nonso in The Wedding Party 2

    He was obviously in his K’element with Deidre. From the unplanned, in the moment proposal, to seeing how happy that made her and actually going through with the wedding preparations. No one has Ken’ed more than Nonso.
