Top 10 Biggest Facebook Groups In Kenya

Due to the massive online presence of its citizens, Kenya is one of the countries with the biggest Facebook groups in Africa.

Facebook began as a lonely boy’s tool for staying in touch with his classmates, but it has evolved into so much more over the years.

With the introduction of groups, like-minded individuals now had access to a single platform from which they could exchange ideas, stories, and the occasional banter.

Numerous groups have emerged in Kenya, ranging from those advocating for the naming and shaming of immoral members of society to those simply advocating for the adoption of cutting-edge agricultural technologies.

If you’re reading this, there’s an 80/20 chance you’re a member of one of these groups; even if you never post and instead scroll through on silent mode like a ninja, it still counts.

Kenyans have flocked to these organizations like moths to a flame, with new ones springing up every other day.

Following a review of thousands of groups, here is a list of the most influential Kenyan Facebook groups to date.

The group, which was founded by a banker with a passion for cooking, grew so quickly that she had to quit her job just to keep up with the food-loving community.

Members are encouraged to cook and post photos of their meals on the page for other members to complement and learn how to cook the same. The page also organizes several cooking competitions for members to meet, network, and learn from one another.

2. Group Kenya- 2 Million Members

This thriving community provides a forum for a lively debate on topics ranging from religion to politics, governance, and satire.

Never one to hide behind fictitious safety rules, members have frequently danced on the precipice of controversy, which led to its closure a few years ago after a heated political debate pitting team NASA vs team Jubilee.

This is one of Kenya’s most interesting online communities on Facebook.

With hilarious, thought-provoking, and sometimes controversial posts, there is never a dull moment.

In this vibrant community, hot gossip that would make Maina Kageni cower behind his desk is the order of the day.

Just be careful not to get on their bad side, as these communities have the power to completely destroy your online profile as well as social standing. If this community decides to pursue you, itafikia wazazi.

8. Teachers’ Notice_Board Kenya- 470k members

Who knew teachers could be so entertaining? From the outside, this appears to be a typical teachers’ Chama group where educators gather to discuss the new curriculum, correct? wrong?

The members may be teachers, but that hasn’t stopped them from posting content so contentious that police had to intervene at some point.

However, according to the official records, this group is aimed at national cohesion and integration by bringing together Teachers, Teacher Trainees, and our esteemed Tutors from all Teacher Training Colleges in Kenya with some manners and professionalism, go figure.

9. UDA Party Supporters- 318k members

This group was formerly known as Jubilee Party Supporters, but the name was changed after the party deputy chairman William Ruto left to create his own party dubbed UDA which he used to vie for the 2022 presidential election and won.

The name pretty much says it all. Supporters of the ruling party had felt the need to create a platform where they could express their undying devotion to their party.

However, it is not all love and praise, as some members occasionally start debates criticizing the shortcomings of their beloved party.

If the hustler is your role model, this group will undoubtedly brighten your days.

According to the group’s bio, it was formed in order to popularize the Jubilee party and elevate it to the ranks of the world’s largest political parties. However, that name changed after the two politicians broke out.
