Millicent Omanga shares playful message to husbands ahead of Girlfriends’ Day
By Paulette Mboga, July 31, 2026Millicent Omanga has shared a playful message to husbands ahead of Girlfriends’ Day, asking them not to forget their wives as the annual celebration approaches.
In her post, the former nominated senator joked that wives should be treated to dinner before the celebrations begin.
“Kesho ni Girlfriends’ Day, lakini sisi mabibi tunaomba leo tupelekwe dinner kwanza. Tusisubiri sherehe za kesho,” Millicent Omanga said on Friday, July 31, 2026.
Her message comes a day before Girlfriends’ Day, which is marked on August 1. Omanga used the occasion to remind husbands, in a light-hearted way, that wives should also be appreciated instead of waiting for the next day’s celebrations.
The post focused on spending quality time together and making loved ones feel appreciated. Rather than making a serious statement, Omanga used humour to encourage husbands to plan a dinner with their wives before Girlfriends’ Day.
Ahead of Girlfriends’ Day
Omanga’s message quickly drew attention because it touched on relationships in a playful way. She suggested that wives should not have to wait while others prepare to celebrate Girlfriends’ Day the following day.
Girlfriends’ Day is observed every year on August 1. The day is commonly used to celebrate important women, including romantic partners as well as close female friends who have offered love, support and encouragement over the years.
Although it is not an official public holiday, the occasion has become widely recognised in many places. It is often marked through thoughtful gestures, kind messages and spending time with the women who play important roles in people’s lives.
The day is also seen as an opportunity to celebrate female friendships. Many people use the occasion to appreciate friends who have stood by them during difficult moments, shared happy memories and remained part of their lives over the years.
For others, Girlfriends’ Day is a reminder that appreciation does not always require expensive gifts. Simple acts such as sharing a meal, sending a thoughtful message or making time for someone can make the day meaningful. Omanga’s playful remarks reflected that spirit by encouraging husbands to show appreciation before the celebrations officially begin.
You don’t need to spend a lot of money to make someone feel special. A text, a voice note, or even an old photo with a sweet message can brighten someone’s day.
