Heavy responsibilities for elder aunt among the Logooli

With Seenge Fonesi. She is the elder grand daughter of Isagi and elder daughter of Amugasya. She is often present in functions involving the family of Amugasya. Pic taken on 18/4/2024. The elder sister soon becomes the elder aunt. It is this “seenge munene” (elder aunt) tag that she is tied to many cultural responsibilities – back home. To her marital family she may appear as any other woman, but she is not so in the eyes of her people. Marriage does not steal her away as it would happen with other daughters of the old man. To her, as days go and the old man and woman of the estate are dependents, she becomes increasingly present.  Her brothers also need her for almost all traditional markings. They are marrying, she needs to welcome the new wife. They are giving birth, she needs to come to midwife or “bless” the new born. They are paying dowry she needs to lead the women delegate.

October, Cancer Awareness Month

[06/10 10:47 pm] Jeska sidika Wambani: October is the breast cancer
awareness month. Breast cancer affects both male and females but
common in the later.Please do self breast examination and visit a
doctor for any noted change in your breast. Sidika
[06/10 11:01 pm] Jeska sidika Wambani: I have looked again and seen
the other views. Yes indeed that is in the forehead. I believe. Sidika
[06/10 11:03 pm] Gracey Saniaga: A very good and encouraging video Sidika!
[06/10 11:08 pm] Jeska sidika Wambani: Karibu and check your breasts
in front of a mirror. They will not be symmetrical if there is a
cancer. The skin also changes and shows orange peel surface. Rest and
rise well. Sidika
[07/10 7:22 am] Metrine Saniaga: A medic told me attending this cancer
check ups triggers one's cells to be tested positive especially the
pap smear tests, kweli Dr. Sidika pls enlighten us in this note
[07/10 7:24 am] Evans mwifa saniaga: Ghai...triggers!!!
[07/10 7:39 am] Vincent Iramuka: Hogwash. I doubt that was a doctor
saying that. Screening helps detect early cancers or other lesions
that could transform into cancer. This allows for early treatment
before the disease advances thus ensuring better outcomes
[07/10 7:40 am] Evans mwifa saniaga: Doctor from the moon!!
[07/10 9:10 am] Vincent Iramuka: Should be from Mars. We usually share
our knowledge with Doctors from the moon 😉
[07/10 1:14 pm] Jeska sidika Wambani: Good afternoon all. What you
have expressed about cancer screening is not true. Most likely the
check up identified early stage disease.This is particularly common in
sexually active ladies and those with positive family history of
cancer( brings in the hereditary genes). Just make the check. Sidika
[07/10 1:41 pm] Metrine Saniaga: 😆😆😆you guys your comments! It was
a certified pharmacist in fact who told me that,but thanks for
clarification my brothers
