With Father’s Day approaching on 21 June 2026, Maurine Kabu has turned to her online community for advice. She is looking for the perfect gift for her father, the well-known businessman Simon Kabu.
Maurine shared her thoughts in a heartfelt post, expressing deep gratitude for the role he has played in her life.
“Father’s Day is approaching so fast, and I keep asking myself... what gift could ever repay the man who sacrificed so much for me? ❤️ Assist me choose the best Father's Day surprise ever for my dad. What would you recommend? 👇 ❤️”.
The post, shared as a joint update with @simonkabuofficial, quickly drew a wide range of suggestions from followers. While some fans proposed luxury items and international travel, a significant number of commenters pointed towards personal milestones as the ultimate gift.
Some followers suggested that the gift should be as grand as Simon Kabu’s public profile. Suggestions included high-end machinery and global sporting events.
- Mûgambi Kalulu Karûmpû: “A chopper for your Dad.”
- Esa Mbukhi: “Buy him a chopper.”
- Moen Sam: “Pay him trip to go and watch world cup.”
- Max Santiago: “Hujampeleka USA bado 😂”.
Others felt that the best gift might be simpler. @annieciru suggested that he simply needs “Some personal time.”
The Grandfather Request
The most common theme in the comments, however, was the suggestion that Maurine should help her father transition into a new chapter of life: grandfatherhood. Many fans believe that bringing a son-in-law into the family would be the most meaningful gesture.
“Make him a grandfather as soon as possible.” — Ibrahim Kamau.
The sentiment was echoed across various platforms. On Instagram, @victoria.muchiri told Maurine to “Give him a son in law.” On Facebook, Bruce Martin Lee encouraged her to “Make him a Grandpa soon✅.”
Adding to this trend, Antony G Wangari remarked, “Mtafutie mtu, amekua single sana,” suggesting it was time for her to find someone for him. Julius Mwangi followed up by asking, “Iko when 🤔.”
Beyond the gift suggestions, many fans took a moment to acknowledge the bond between the father and daughter. At least 13 comments were recorded from Facebook within the first few hours of the post.
Connie Kabuchai praised Maurine’s character, writing, “You are such a nice girl. May God bless your dad for being there for you 🙏.” Stephen Sale simply noted the “Love of a father” evident in their relationship.
As the 21 June deadline nears, the pressure is on for Maurine to choose between a "chopper," a trip to the World Cup, or the more personal requests of her followers. Regardless of the choice, the public response highlights the high esteem in which the Kabu family is held by their supporters.
