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.

Sharing Messages, how right?

-: Dr, good evening. We reduce on forwarded texts...nuyanza.

-: If we can't even share national issues that will eventually affect our lives, then I don't understand why we are a group. How then can we mentor the young Proffessionals? We should be free to share and educate each other on how we should behave at International level. I have travelled a lot. It's the respect you have for each other that will define you. If you don't discuss some of these things you will become other people's slaves. I think we should actually have Proffessional experience presentations during the December meeting and look for ways of mentoring and empowering our people to be proactive. I will not post anything but will read the posts. Thank you for your advice. Rest and rise well. Sidika

-: Hello, have I not been misunderstood?

We got to use modern technology in such away we are its master, not servant. To give it our best. This how.

If you share messages you reduce your personal desire to be original, finding fun in second grade information. I would call it social plagiarism. Copy cat.

What you get on other sites is already from somewhere. Some of the being shared messages and videos have already been seen by others. So it becomes some monotony. Monotony brings passivity.

I understand that when one receives information, it should be interpreted and this would make sharing an active thing. Not running messages. It would keep us free from junk and avoid us from recycling ideas.

So we keep talking, in first personna so we may benefit great from people like you.

- A great day awaits us.
